Michelle Lanae walker

Hello everybody,

My name is Her Royal Highness Michelle Lanae Walker , I say that's because everyone deserves to be royalty. This is a blog about random thoughts from my random life if it doesn't seem to make much sense that's why. I have two siblings an older brother and a younger sister . I have a dog named Mac E. Mouse and I used to have a cat but she died . I really like books you can find links to my bookshelf on another website called shelfari where I rate the books I have read . My favorite color is pink because its so light . I love roses and peonies because they are such luscious flowers. I don't normally have too many visitors on this blog so it's mainly for stress release. I am sitting in a huge library in salt lake city at the moment feeling a bit out of place ,I am used to hanging out in busy loud libraries full of people who know me or in Corvallis where there are lots of loud children talking to the puss and boot sculpture . in general though i feel at home in libraries and rose gardens . some of my favorites books are Ella Enchanted,Narnia,
Holes, Running Out of Time and Horton Sits on an Egg. some of my favorite movies are the princess bride , the princess and the frog , Up and Emperors New Groove .

notes from ed physch

English is weird ghoti is fish that is hard dough rough laugh because in rough gh makes the F sound . what is sheltered instruction? prepare with a lot of supplementary materials lots of visuals use manipulative's. adapting of content of all levels meaningful activities

I feel like crying

I think I just failed my ed lit test I didn't even understand what it wanted . why didnt i know what position ment what on the earth did it mean by that

Money

I still don't know how I do it but I spend money like a crazy person. 100 dollars one week latter gone what did i spend it on mostly sandwiches . food on campus is expensive other things i randomly spend money on groceries i don't need. I really need to cook food more often lets see I could plan food in advance.... then i would know what to eat.

I love flowers so here is a little thought

This morning the green fists of the peonies are getting ready
to break my heart
as the sun rises,
as the sun strokes them with his old, buttery fingers

and they open —
pools of lace,
white and pink —
and all day the black ants climb over them,

boring their deep and mysterious holes
into the curls,
craving the sweet sap,
taking it away

to their dark, underground cities —
and all day
under the shifty wind,
as in a dance to the great wedding,

the flowers bend their bright bodies,
and tip their fragrance to the air,
and rise,
their red stems holding

all that dampness and recklessness
gladly and lightly,
and there it is again —
beauty the brave, the exemplary,

blazing open.
Do you love this world?
Do you cherish your humble and silky life?
Do you adore the green grass, with its terror beneath?

Do you also hurry, half-dressed and barefoot, into the garden,
and softly,
and exclaiming of their dearness,
fill your arms with the white and pink flowers,

with their honeyed heaviness, their lush trembling,
their eagerness
to be wild and perfect for a moment, before they are
nothing, forever?

Quotes

"you do realize that self loathing is not the same as not eating cake" Laurie ann
that direction,' the Cat said, waving its right paw round, `lives a Hatter: and in that direction,' waving the other paw, `lives a March Hare. Visit either you like: they're both mad.' `But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked. `Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.' `How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice. `You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'
Penny Pingleton: Oh, no!
Inigo Montoya: I just work for Vizzini to pay the bills. There's not a lot of money in revenge.
Inigo Montoya: That Vizzini, he can *fuss*.
Inigo Montoya: Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
Penny Pingleton: ...I don't know why we have this room, but there's food, water, a bed, gas mask, Russian language books...
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.' We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." (A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles", Harper Collins, 1992. From Chapter 7, Section 3])
