Nanny Peg

There once was a lady named Nanny Peg. At least that's what us kids were ordered to call her. We used to visit her sometimes and I always felt a little scared over there. I don't even know how we knew her but I always thought her name was progressive - Nanny Peg.

off the top of my head

so, here goes. I'm at the computer, kinda avoiding everyone. Justins playing peggle and Maggie is watching a movie. We've run out of ideas on how to have funn for free (when it isn't raining). You can't drive up mount wachusett right now and you can't swim at Dunns. This summer has not been one of the best. The summer of 2001 was probably my best. Remember Ashlee?!
We're totally broke this summer too so the only place we've gone is to Mystic Aquarium and we went to see the penguins but they're area was closed off because they were changing it. I mean is it me or do I seem cursed. If anyone knows how to find out who is cursing you and stop it let me know. That's enough for now.

A Poem about Fear

Fear now, fear then, fear again.

Past is scary,
snakes and bombs

Present is scary,
depression, no songs

Fear now, fear then, fear again.

Relax

My alone time is not to be forsaken,
slip into meditation.

Loosening is what I crave,
tense every muscle then make them behave.

The sound of crickets and running water,
Foot rubs make me even hotter.

Now we can play,
let's continue our day.

Where Did I Go?

I used to know you so well.
I knew just what would make your heart swell.

I knew the music you loved.
You were a little smug.

You're passions were evident - barefaced indeed.

You were blissfu, fleeful and tickled.

Your return is what I need.

I'm in the River and I'm in the Woods

In a story
dating back to 1973, a very old house on 91 Old Sudbury Rd, Wayland MA, was reported to be haunted. The house was originally built in late 17th or early 18th century. The house's biggest claim to fame was that Lydia Maria Child lived out here final years there. (She was the poet who wrote "over the river and through the woods to grandmoher's house we go"). Over the years other rooms and pieces were added to the house.

I rewrote over the river and through the woods. Which was originally called "A Boy's Thanksgiving Day"

I’m in the river and I’m in the woods


I’m in the river and I’m in the woods
To haunt the house we go
I know the way, to deliver dismay
Your mind I will a’ blow

I’m in the river and I’m in the woods
Oh, how my wind does blow
I’ll sting your toes and bite your nose
As underground I go


I’m in the river and I’m in the woods
I love to haunt all day
Hear your heart beat, thumpety thump
Hooray for haunting day


I’m in the river and I’m in the woods
Think fast this scary day
Spring over the ground like a hunted hound
I’ll bang the doors today


I’m in the river and I’m in the woods
And straight through hells gate,
you seem to run extremely slow
From this nightmare you want to wake


I’m in the river and I’m in the woods
I’m a ghost who doesn’t lie
Hurray for the fun, you want this haunting done
I didn’t want to die.

My Life in Movie Format chapter 6

I was making handmade cards at the time so I sent one to Justin. After he received it in the mail he called it. It happened to be during the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer so I told him I would call him back. We set up a time to hang out.

We went to the 99 restaurant with Kara and Brownie. Everyone was drinking except me. Justin and I went outside to smoke a cigarette. While standing under the awning because it was raining, I asked him if he wanted to be my boyfriend. We made love that night. In the morning he woke me up and said he had to leave to go to band practice. I thought it was his way of doing a one night stand with me.

A week later he called me. I was glad he did. After that we saw each other almost every day. Around the 4th of July we went and stayed at the beach in Maine for a few days. While we were there Justin got really drunk and passed out during the day. I waited 2 hours and then I woke him up. That was the first time he ever got mad at me. He was grumpy and I started to feel like he didn't love me.

After being around so much drinking I finally gave in and picked up a beer. My drinking caused problems because I'm a very different person when I'm drunk. I'm one of those annoying drunks.

At the time I was going to BSC and working in the photo lab for work study. Justin would visit me while I was working and we had sex in the dark room two times. Once in the film room while everyone was next door printing photos and once in the darkroom while I was supposed to be cleaning up for the day.

The next few months were a whirlwind of adventures, drunkenness and fun. Then in December of 2003 I missed my period. I didn't think much of it but Justin insisted that I get a pregnancy test. As soon as my pee soaked into the test strip it said I was pregnant.
