won't let go
In the swamplands long ago,
Where the weeds and mudglumps grow,
A Yipiyuk bit on my toe…
Exactly why I do not know.
I kicked and cried
And hollered “Oh”—
The Yipiyuk would not let go.
I whispered to him soft and low—
The Yipiyuk would not let go.
I shouted “Stop,” “Desist” and “Whoa”—
The Yipiyuk would not let go.
Yes, it was sixteen years ago,
The Yipiyuk still won’t let go.
The snow may fall,
The winds may blow—
The Yipiyuk will not let go.
The snow may melt,
The grass may grow—
The Yipiyuk will not let go.
I drag him ‘round each place I go.
This Yipiyuk that won’t let go.
And now my child at last you know
Exactly why I walk so slow.

A little nervous about driving a van full of students into DOWNTOWN SEATTLE. OH GOD THE HILLS. I have to ask the lady at the motor pool whether or not gear shifts will be desirable. I’ve never really shifted gears in a car, I’ve really only just kind of… engine-that-could-ed up hills. Mostly residential roads anyway. Dsdsfsdsf. Downtown. One way streets, hills, insane drivers, pedestrians, stoplights every five seconds. At least I get to park in a garage. Do NOT make me parallel park that shit. And the teachers will give me a packet full of detailed directions and instructions. Fucking downtown.
But all that hell will make Friday so much more sweeter. I’m planning on taking off around lunchtime, taking whatever bus will get me downtown faster, and taking the 62B to the Lacey Transit Center and getting me a nice thick hoodie from the men’s section. I’ll donate that old jacket I got from Dumpster Values in exchange for some kind of points. And then I’ll go to bed early that night and wake up early for the gardening at the Organic Farm at 10 on Saturday.
The main goal right now though is surviving tomorrow. *TWITCH*
I wish I could sleep overnight in the library. It’s so much more pleasant sleeping here. There’s that white noise of the air circulator things and people are quiet.
Oh! There are canoe trips every Wednesday now at 1:30pm, which means I can actually participate <3 I am so pumped. I miss camp and being outside so much. It’s good for me. And if its free, I’m so fucking in.
I think I want to go to sleep earlier now. I feel a lot better when I do. It’s not like I do anything late at night except be extremely emotional.
Ohohoho Tumblr themes. Looks like I have something new to fiddle with.
