What do i make?
That's a silly question.
i make devoted Christians cringe.
Apparently, they think using a saints bracelet to hide my scars is unholy....
i make my friends think that 'm really a daring person, and maybe i am....
but that's just the mania talking.
Speaking of mania.
i'm on top of the world !
Don't judge me, i'm smarter then you !
No i'm not conceited.
i'm bipolar.
i'm everything.
i'm you.
i'm me.
i'm amazing.
i drink, i smoke, i hurt you, i hurt me, and i DON'T CARE.
i'm on top of the world.

Oh, here comes the blue....
Ever wake up in the morning and have NO energy?
i do.
i still drink.
i still smoke.
and i hurt more then ever before.
my head is screaming.
there's a reason i don't capitalize my I's.
because i don't matter.
Do i really deserve that kind of recognition?
i am nothing.
i am the pills that numb my mind; the razor teeth that bite my skin;
i am everything i never wanted to be.
and everything you hate.......
Here comes the white again.....
i am Kate.
and this is me.
this is my life.
It's brutal, but honesty is what i live by.....

National History Day Reflection
NHD is finally done.
This year, i wasn't too stressed about it, definitely not like last year.
I knew what i had to do and i did it.
I do admit, creating an exhibit board is a lot harder then i thought it would be, especially the cutting and gluing, even though that sounds easy. It was hard getting the letters exactly perfect looking, and gluing it was EVEN harder. My partner and i were in different class periods, so when i had to glue the big paper to the whole board, it was very hard. the glue kept drying before i could even get the paper on the board. Deciding what to put on the board was a struggle also. It was also a huge inconvenience that the Edgar Allan Poe house was closed the whole time we did the project. I hated how the judges pointed out about how some things on the board were slightly crooked, but barely gave us credit for being historically accurate and all the important stuff.
I honestly believe i should have done another performance.

Frederick Douglass's meaning for the fourth of july
Frederick Douglass thinks that The Fourth of July is just a celebration of our own vanity and injustice to american citizens not accounted for (african americans). He thinks that the holiday celebrates hypocrisy and cover up disgraceful crimes.

Introduction
Edgar Allen Poe has to be one of the most influential writers of not just our time, but all time. His dark stories and poetry are known by millions. His style of writing was pretty new, with his darkly sarcastic humor. His writing was good, but Poe himself is known in history for being quite the controversial character, having married his cousin.
Fifth anotation
Tomlinson, David. "The Humor of Edgar Allen Poe." 1994 6 Nov 2008 http://odur.let.rug.nl/~usa/E/poe_humor/poexx.htm.
This is a lightened website featuring an article about Poe's dark humor in all of his work, giving interesting light to the subject, because many can't pinpoint humor in Poe's morbid poetry.

Allen, Hervey . "Biography of Edgar Allen Poe." 08/1927 6 Nov 2008 http://www.houseofusher.net/library.html.
This is a link to a website that has more information then i've ever seen on any other website about Edgar Allen Poe. This one section, listed under "bibliography" and "articles" talks more about his life; like his wedding & marrage and where he lived, more so then just his work.
