I have still not finished my tag for Priya. So sorry! I've actually been stepping around it, since I'm not a fan of tags and memes, but I will finish this one up for you.
******
I haven't been posting much, just things about my book lately. I promise that I'll wrap all the book stuff up with a huge (unfortunately) post about it. I have so much to say/reflect on it.
I'm feeling bad that I've only posted six times in February. One of my goals for 09 was posting more, and I did it in January, but haven't been doing so much in February.

Dear Blog,
I have not deserted you. I promise to post more often...
******
I'm having a really really bad day. Again. First it was I'm-not-feeling-too-good (last Tuesday), this week it's I'm-having-a-terrible-day. Once more, let me hand out the promises. I will not be so depressed anymore. :)
******
You'll have noticed that I was switching around my blog colors...blue, red...and I will stick with red for a while. "A while" means about half a year.
******
Everyone who has commented on my blog -- you are AWESOME. Comments cheer me up. Seriously.
******
I've gotten past my writer's block by not looking at my laptop and just forcing myself to put pen to paper. It works. I've written another poem (thankfully!) after a long sojourn of writer's block. Phew.
******
It's snowing. Not a confession, I know, but something I'm so excited about. I love it.

Confessions on a Tuesday
Since this coincides with Confession Tuesday, it seems like the perfect time to confess. And I do have a few.
*****
Though this isn't quite a confession, I'm so so so excited because I just found out that I won a free -- and signed -- copy of Justina Chen Headley's novel "North of Beautiful"! I've been dying to read this since forever, so I'm feeling pretty good.
*****
I've actually been doing a lot of stalling when it comes to writing. First I claimed it was because I was taking a break from poetry and was writing prose. Which I admittedly was. But I stopped writing prose. Now it's back to struggling to write poetry, as I've been stuck for the past couple of weeks. It's not working very well. I'll need to find a solution.
*****
I haven't gotten much sleep lately. I've been sleeping earlier, yes, but somehow it never seems to be enough. I'm either an extremely sleepy person in general or I still haven't made up all that lost sleeping time (which I haven't).
*****
I'm racing to get everything I want done. For the past who-knows-how-long I've wanted to do this, and that, and haven't gotten the time. Someday, I'm going to find that time. Probably over the summer. But that's a long ways off.
*****
Speaking of summer, I noticed that I'm sick during breaks. Over Christmas break I was sick, and then during the weekend I fell sick again, and I don't know why. And, for some reason I'm watching football when I'm sick. I got to watch a bit of college football around New Year's, when I was sick, and then I watched the Super Bowl a few days ago. Football = being sick?
But a lot of people aren't feeling too good right now -- in my area and around the blogosphere. I think there's some sort of flu/sickness floating around. But oh well. I'm feeling a little better.

What I'm 100% Positive Of
I'm inspired by this photo:
It's mysterious and it's bright -- I love it. I took it a few weeks ago; it's a pack of notecards (blurry, because I was shaking them while I snapped the photo). The blue light is courtesy of my webcam.
I'm also loving the sky and the sunshine. Q and Odessa, thanks for sending some along!

Happy (Awful) February.
Why I'm not very happy with myself right now:
-I didn't reach my January poetry goal.
-I've just dumped an awful book that's making me really mad. I can't believe I even bothered picking it up. You'll find the book -- and my review -- on Goodreads.
-It's morning, I'm tired. I'm sick, too. I have way too much work to do for school and my head's going to explode right now.
-I may not get to plunk myself on the couch and watch the entire Super Bowl. (I love doing this.)
-Blogger is mad at me today. Thanks a lot.
-I haven't gotten around to blogging much. I haven't posted up any pictures of the first copy of my book, I haven't posted tags...I'm too behind.
-I'm under the weather today. It's gloomy, it's gray, it's cold. Enough said.
-January was a pretty rough and crazy month. I ended not-so-well, on a confessional note. So far, February isn't any better.
