I sing. If you haven't looked at my profile, now you know. I just love the music from the 60's, 70's, and 80's. Diana Ross, Simon and Garfunkel, Michael Jackson, Culture Club, Cyndi Lauper, and Depeche Mode are some of my favorites. My brother made this little poster for me:
Well, actually, with Depeche Mode and Cyndi Lauper, I only like a few of their songs, but those few songs have made it into my all-time favorites list: "Karma Chameleon," "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?", "Blasphemous Rumours," and "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." With Michael Jackson and Simon and Garfunkel, I know most of the songs by heart. I like most of Culture Club's songs, and have fun singing them. My parents like to put in earplugs, and my brother yells at me, but it doesn't bother me, because I love to sing.
A few years ago, when I was really into Michael Jackson, I had a lot of fun dressing like him. I turned a pair of my sneakers into sequined shoes and went through a crazy let's-dress-completely-in-sequins-and-too-short-pants period where that's basically all I wore for weeks.
I love dressing up. I've been doing it since I was old enough to choose my own clothes, but now that I'm in high school, I've toned it down a bit. I do still dress up, though. All the time. I experiment with the hundreds of clothes I own. My closet is filled, not with regular clothes, but rather with my "dress-up" outfits, of which I have many--too many, my mother complains, but I say you can never have too many extravagant outfits, and I know I'm right.
The flowers dance
Like playful children
Flying with the wind
The waves play
Their sweet violins
A symphony of nature
The Earth sobs
Like a child
Who has lost laughter
The sun smiles
Down upon acres
Of rolling hills
