Getting Started

Ok, so I suppose I have always wanted to do something like this, but never really got around to it. Posting facebook notes didn't seem the same, so here I am finally getting around to it. I need to thank my friend Katie Watson, she inspired me to do this. After reading her blog I thought, hmmm I could do this. I also just finish reading and watching Julie & Julia which also got me excited to start this project. It took me a while though. Since I am basing this (to start anyways) on my many poems, which I realized they were all on the USB drive that I lost. So I have been spending the last week typing 10 years worth of poems. While this is going on I am also trying to sign up for this blog so when I am done I can get going, which apparently you need a mobile phone for. This is not something I have. Anyways after days of trying here we are! Time to get started. The poems are retyped the blog is in place so here we go!

As long as I can remember I have loved love. I think as a child I watched too many Disney movies which gave me a unrealistic notion about what love was like. Then came the romance novels. Of course life isn't really like that, and somewhere in the back of my mind I think I ignore the truth. I always try to see the good in people (which sometimes I think I had made up, because the things I liked people for were not really there) which causes me to overlook the bad, which is the reason most of these things don't work out. But that's ok, I believe after all I have put up with my good Karma is going to kick soon. (See? Always the hopeless romantic) Besides if I didn't have all these experiences the poems would not exist. So thank-you to every bastard who has hurt me, for the sweethearts who showed me not everyone is a bastard and everyone in between. From loving to hating to brief flings you have inspired me in some way or another. I was planning on doing this in chronological order, but here is actually the most recent of poems I have written which shows exactly what I am taking about:

The Hopeless Romantic

I believe in that feelings from movie and books
That old time feeling you get from a single look

I love the idea of butterflies
And that magic kiss when sparks fly

Who says you cannot live happily ever after
People deserve it after broken hearted disasters

I know I am no princess, but a girl can dream
Of a boy who makes her not smile, but beam

Of a love that was written in the stars
One that will make you forget your battle scars

Someone to hold your hand day after day
And when you get wrinkled on front porches you will swing away

Call me what you will, a hopeless romantic at heart
But to have it all I will gladly play the part
*

Not my best I know, but just to give you an idea of where my inspiration for this is coming from. So next time we should be starting in the early years.
