In Lieu of a Social Life or Reading Harry Potter for 31 Hours Straight

Big A's favorite part: A shelf with her seashell collection and a picture of one of the sand castles that we've built.

The spot to daydream while looking out the window section:

The sign hanging above her stereo says, "Courage".


My favorite part of the room:

The poem by ee cummings that I painted on the wall reads:

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart)

i am never without it (anywhere i go you go, my dear and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)

i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)

i want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)

and you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows:

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope of mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that is keeping the stars apart:

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

And carry it, I do my love.

Long live the queen.
