Just Me
(this poem modelled after Eleanpr Waits work "Ellie: An Inventory of Being" wink
I am Beccy
I am sixteen years old.
No matter how hard i try i only stand at 5'3" and a half.
My eyes are usually blue, but sometimes they don't want to be.
My hair is brown and my bangs are a source of endless torment for my mum.
I go to school, but only because my frieds are there.
And because of band, but they're kinda the same thing.
I have two sets of opinions, the set that's true and the set i tell my parents.
I'm almost always happy, to the point where I want to be sad so i remember what it's like.
I want to be vegetarian, because I love animals and feel you shouldn't eat them, but i also love sausages.
I love the smell of the ocean, but fresh water smells funny.
Apparently I'm something of a hippie, except I've never done any drugs and I don't have random sex.
I love KD and ramen, but they both have the nutritional content of cardboard.
I love cozy rooms filled with books and candles and beanbag chairs.
People keep telling me the world is my oyster, but I really hate shellfish.
Someday I want to spend the rest of my life with someone. I don't who he is yet.
I'm optimistic, but sometimes life makes me negative.
I've always been a firm believer in true love, I hope to stay that way.
I might be in love now, but I can't be sure just yet,
I'd like to be my own boss, but I don't think that's a good idea.
I'm the reigning queen of procrastintation.
I think chocolate is over-rated.
I'm a compulsive-spender, especially in bookstores.
I think all people are essentially good. And I'm so left-wing that I could be communist, which I think could work, except there are some mean people out there.
I'll go barefoot at every possible oppurtunity.
I hate eyeshadow and mascara, I love lip gloss and nail polish.
I think cats are the best pets, bit i can never resist puppies.
I'm a non-conformist, but by doing so I'm conforming.
I live for walks at 2am and stargazing from my rooftop.
I only do well if I care about what I'm trying to do well at.
I can't pick a season to be my favourite.
I believe in a higher power, but whatever it is i don't think it wants us to hate gays, because it created them too right?
I'm always falling over, but i get to see the world from more angles that way.
I know I'm not ugly, except I've not run into many people who are.
I can watch a lavalamp for hours, but I lose track of a golf game in seconds.
I used to hang out with just guys, probably because they werren't scared of dirt and frogs.
Then the world got confusing.
I'd like to claim I only listen to good music, but i have a weak spot for Linken Park and other songs about teen angst.
My boyfriend likes being able to say he's dating an older women.
I'm ecsatic just being able to say I'm dating him.
subject to change.
Most of my actual idols are dead, it makes me kind of sad that I can't find too many live ones.
I think too much and don't compliment enough.
I've always felt I'd serve life better as a pixie.
I don't own any skimpy lingerie, but you don't need it for sleepovers anyways.
I want to get married in Scotland.
But not for awhile.
I'm an art student, I'll probably end up moving to B.C.
I'll never know anything, but I've recently come to terms with that.
Everyone needs some wonder in their lives.
I'm thankful for friends, family, pinecones, fuzzy caterpillars, dewdrops, dandelion fluff, mini waterfalls, pencils, home paper and Simon and Garfunkel.
My name is Beccy, and I really don't care what year it is.
