WDC's Guiding Light Message Forum

Happy Friday! As I said this morning to someone at the library, "how about the Brewers?" He laughed and said, "Oh, yeah, that's right, you like them too. I gave up on the Phillies. They don't air them much anymore. But, how are the Tigers doing?" "They're doing great! I look forward to seeing them live at some point." It was a nice laugh. Hopefully they air the Tigers game tonight and even though it's on at 10pm, but it's a weekend.

It's been a good week. On Tuesday, I met up with Marsha and it was just a nice time out. It was nice seeing her and nice seeing her before I move. I wrote a triolet poem about our meet up.

A Triolet to Marsha
Jessica Marie

Today I meet with you after a year,
my voice no longer ragged and hurt
and no longer falling is the tears;
today I meet with you after a year.
I think most expect me to show fear,
yet you give support so true and curt;
today I meet with you after a year,
that voice no longer ragged and hurt.

I also accomplished a lot this week:

1. Run my credit score, then ask people for help on how this will translate into an apartment. Yes, I'm a noob at this. 
I didn't run it yet, I'm really nervous to be honest. Andrew has been reassuring me, though, that most people starting out don't have a lot to their name. Others have said, "Money talks." Tomorrow, Sunday and Monday nights I'll be at my aunt's dog-sitting, so I will run it then.

2. Find two more apartments and send a response saying I'm interested.
I found two apartments in Roseville:
Apartment 1  
Apartment 2  

Apartment 2 didn't have ratings, but it's near public transit. I'm going to have to run both apartments through the site Charlie ~ sent me to see if they got good reviews.

I'm going to be applying to Costco as well. I'm going to see if I can start here in King of Prussia and then transfer to the Roseville, MI Costco in May. I called my dentist for him to look at my wisdom tooth, so hopefully he can take it out this month, but things are now dependent upon that.

3. Finish the piece about nan's lung cancer for Yahoo! Voices. 
Gah, another week unfinished. I don't know, maybe it's too emotional. I might work on it this weekend. However, I did make a video for my friend Margot's project about bullying. I am going to write about my experiences of being bullied and having no friends here, which will go into my childhood folder on Writing.com.

I'm debating adding this to my chapbook about nan:
Pansy Rondeau
Jessica Marie

I could finally calculate my nature now,
as the temperature reaches 70, I think "wow!"
I take to the freshly paved sidewalks;
where nan's old neighbors and friends talk
about daily gossip and fast cats in heat on prow.

This was after I found my peaceful Tao,
winter undid me and my spirit, I disavowed;
unhappiness and taunts no longer stalk.
I could finally calculate my nature now.

And through the sweat dripping from my brow,
I spot chipper daffodils and pansies spotted like cows;
purples and yellows and pinks and hues that squawk,
the colours made me forget the heat and shell-shock,
but as I look in Roseville, much like a flower being sowed--
I could finally calculate my nature now!

5. Continue working on NaPoWriMo.
Successful! https://docs.google.com/document/d/14RqNbk6hk9Aza34Mq2W3ryeGQoMyqbVaAs5oaBrG7no/...

6. Delete 10 people on Facebook.
I deleted 34 negative nancies or people I didn't talk to anymore. I went from 1006 friends to 974 friends.
