Ice

I LOVE ICE. How cold it is, how it melts on your mouth. How the little lump of snow brushes cooley down your throat.
I Often get a glass and fill it up to the brim full of ice. I sit there eating it, as my mother teases me: shes never seen someone have so much ice before. My maid used to call me la reina del hielo... until I asked her to stop because it got annoying. But seriously, I like it.

I Should Set a Better Example for my Sisters

I threw myself onto the soft bed and tilted my head back, to look up at the white light as I turned it off, only to leave a small yellow lamp on. It was 3:45, the time we got usually get home.

I was in my room for 2 hours; reading, painting my nails, and all that stuff. You could call it anything but homework. Without me knowing my littlest sister did the same thing(but just not for that long).

My sister told my mother and she blamed it on me. Just then I realized that I need to set a better example for my own sisters.

The Girl that Finally got Caught

She'd be doing homework,
In the wolf room 'till four,
Or so she said.

She and her friends strolled casually down to the bakery,
Down the road, so slow, to study,
Or so she said.

They had gone there, to find us, sitting on a carved bench,
Waiting for exactly four,
Or so we said.

A 'gasp' we heard, and embarrassed looks suddenly crossed her face,
Guilt, sorrow, innocence,
So we saw.

The sound of her voice was soft like the white linen that draped my mothers back.
She told us that she'd been talked into it,
So we heard.

Standing there, glowing with sorrow,
It was her, the girl who finally got caught.

Dear Mary Williams,

Hello again, I'm just checking things are fine down there.

I have recently been into town with mother to get the Anthology of poems. I have been dearly wanting it for the past few months, I am blessed the shop still had it. Though, I almost purchaised the collection of anonymus stories. I have been waiting long for it because father only gives me sixpence a week.

Gran came to visit last Sunday for tea, she was wearing the dearest pink bonnet I ever saw. Gran bought the two prettiest frocks over for me too (she usually brings me something for her disposition is so bright), an early birthday gift I'm guessing. Mary, I hope you are coming down next week, for its my 14 year.

I've heard the flu has recurred just out side of Oxfordshire. Oh, I hope you don't go and get it, its getting quite prevalent and I can not afford to loose anyone else nowadays.

I have to go to the school fate this afternoon, this generations school fates are extraordinary. Well then I will leave you there for now.


your loving friend always,
Eleanor

Confession Tuesday List

1. I would like long hair, but It doesn't suit me.

2. I'm not so keen on the color red, and I detest light pink, but love dark pink.

3. Most of the time I paint my nails, I usually wait until their dry and then I take the color off: I don't like the way I paint my own nails.

4. I think most breeds of cats are ugly, with the exception of a few.

5. I hate all of the curtains in my house, in my opinion they're hidious.

It has a panel in the middle of the frame for the doors and a set of drawers build inside of them takes up almost half of the space, then... its complicated and I really don't like them, they're annoying.

7. I get really irritated with fake flowers, I can't stand how they look.

8. I Killed my first and only goldfish 3 years ago when I fed it chocolate cake.

Only Three Minutes

A lot of things have changed me, a lot of things haven't either. One thing was the time when I had that three minute transition schedule (while shivering) in my bare hands, getting kissed by the movable airs raw temperatures. They had just finished modifying it and had informed the teachers to tell us the news.

I usually spend a short two minuets talking to friends, a couple of seconds opening my locker, then pulling books out and putting books in. Then I rush off to my next class only just making it there in time. I did this approximately always before the bell rang, but now I almost run to get there on time, I manage to get there but there's no time to mingle with friends. A good time to do that is during lunch, and the problem with that is I cant sit with everyone at once. We get other times to talk, yes. But I often would say I'll talk to you after class. Not any more though, I guess I'll just have to find a way around it.

One Nosy Cat

I have a cat with a blue nose. Why, you may ask? It all started like this:
My mom was sitting in the large kitchen painting with the many watercolors she owns. My cat was helping too: he was drinking the paint water and chewing the clean brushes. My mom had a thin brush that was colored blue in her paint stained hand . Suddenly out of no where she lifts up the brush to the tip of Toms nose and paints it blue in one stroke, I laughed so hard I almost fell of my chair. I said it was really mean, but her only response was laughing. Poor cat.
