this is the girl i was trapped with all weekend because of the snow storm.
her name is Megan Brown and she is my best friend.
and i love her so much.

i really want to blog. but i'm not really sure what to say. the past several days have been very busy... every time i sat down to blog and knew what i was going to say, i would be interrupted by some sort of call: by phone, by chores, by Megan Louise Brown, by snow, by exhaustion, etc. it's okay though... i love being busy. and i hate being bored more than anything.
anywho.
we've been learning about figurative language in my English class at school. there are three types:and then there's the analogy.
- metaphor- an implied comparison
- simile- a comparison using "like" or "as"
- personification- giving human characteristics inhuman objects or ideas
the analogy is an extended comparison with at least three points of similarity between two objects.
all of that to say, i have come up with an analogy of my mind that is being compared to....
an enchilada.
[[a chicken enchilada actually. because chicken is my favorite meat. though, ground beef will do, too. but chicken is the best... especially from chick fil a. but that's beside the point...]]
my three points of similarity:
- Just as an enchilada is filled with many different elements, so my mind is filled to capacity with a "cornucopia" of thoughts. (i have always wanted to use that word in a blog...)
- An enchilada is never just good by itself... to me at least. It needs sour cream on the top. and maybe some chopped onions. In the same way, my brain.... actually, i cant think of how to compare the necessity of sour cream and onions on an enchilada to my mind. so... skip that one.
- I cant think of a third point of similarity... fail.
Okay so, my analogy severely lacks all points of similarity. But i think it's still a good comparison. The intent of that was just a creative way of sharing that...
... there is SO much on my mind!!
see, normal people just tell you that. but. i didnt want to be just a normal person.
anywho. it's true though, i've got my future school decisions bugging me. actually i've got my future bugging me period. i have to get a job that fits around my soccer schedule... which is kind of hard. cause i have practice every day except wednesdays and weekends. and i dont really want to just work on wednesdays and weekends. and i feel like chick fil a would be the best bet for working a schedule like that. except that i couldnt work on sunday. and i dont even want to work at cfa. idk, though. it's not like i dont go there every day anyways... ugh.
annoying decisions.
i'm also thinking about people i miss a lot.
(*cough* Michelle Malpaya & Joni Duerme....)
sometimes i wish that God wouldnt place amazing people in my life. cause it's so easy to love amazing people. and then the amazing people have to go on with their lives: go back to school, move to other states, or other countries. i wouldn't have a problem with this if keeping in touch was easier. even with facebook, it's not easy.
but yeah.
there's another 4,566,348,340 miles of thoughts stretching around my mind, but i wont get into that now i guess.
especially cause i have to get off now.
my momma has to do bills on the computer.
so. there goes another pointless blog...
i guess one cant completely avoid them.
i dont really have many deep thoughts running about as of this moment to put together an intense thought provoking blog.

the enchilada of my mind.

thats quite a bit on your mind. maybe dwell more on the subject over a meal @ Plaza Azteca? food for thought, i'd say
haha maybe i should. i tried thinking of another analogy, but "enchilada" just stood out to me too much. maybe there's an inward longing for one somewhere in that busy mind of mine...
