Spring Break
I've never really gone anywhere crazy for spring break. I'm not exactly a guy who hates travelling, I love travelling, but it seems that everyone has gone to vacation paradise and left me at home. What have I been doing, you ask? I have been doing jack shit. I've played a TON of video games it seems, not like pro-gamer amounts, but a considerable amount per day. I've been reading, and I'm almost finished with the book now. I've also been shopping, except I didn't buy anything.
Books
Recently, I picked up the book, Poetic Meter & Poetic Form at the behest of comments on a short blog I wrote on me trying out poetry. I fucking love this book. It is hard, not doubt, the book is not meant for the average reader. I am definitely an average reader, though . I can say with absolute certainty that I have learned more about appreciating and writing poetry than I have in any English class. Fussell's knowledge base is astounding, and the book is definitely not at all self-aggrandizing, which is a great change of pace for me when it comes to poetry. The book is a total 180 from my english classes, Fussell explains poetry in a way that shows his interpretations have substance while not indulging in pedantry. I'll either read the book again, just to make sure I understand all the different poetic parts, or move on another poetry criticism in All the fun's in how you say a thing.

Clothes
I'm gonna narrow this down, since clothe's is an enormous topic for me. I like to go to the Men's fashion thread every now and again and see what's cool there, but I haven't done that as recently. As of two days ago, my shoes broke. I don't mean like they weren't broken before this, they have been broken for about a year now; by broken, I mean the entire sole is going to rip out, and the inside is starting to peel off. I've had these shoes since I was a sophomore in highschool, my Van's Slip Ons that I colored myself. God I love these shoes. Recently, I let my little sis color some Payless Shoes me and my gf bought for a fun art date in coloring shoes. She made hers with a galactic theme, pretty surreal looking with the purple and pink blobs and streaks - mine were colored by my sister who though putting, "I love pink" in pink would be manly - mine were less wearable than hers haha.

AND FINALLY
Now that i have your attention with my obnoxious header, a little while back a couple people on my blog said I sounded like I was an emo. Very recently, Capped called me this too. Idk why guys, I'M NOT FUKIN EMO. I have a sensitive side, ok :'(. For real though, I thought it would be funny to relive a little bit of a past dress up I did. The name I go by is Lee, I've said that before in my blogs, but only at the very beginning of my blog. One day, I decided to dress up like an emo for school, thus LeEMO was born. I thought this might amuse some of you guys who told me I sounded emo, because this is me as an emo. Credit to my gf for the eye-liner, its much better than the time I put it on and looked like an owl.

Note, if mods want me to take the picture down for any reason, since I've seen personal pictures be asked to be taken down, that is perfectly fine. Also, yes I know I look young, no I'm not 13, yes I have long eyelashes, no I won't/don't put on Mascara.
