Random prose

The most random things send me into a philosophical mood, and apparently High School Musical 2 is one of them. This is the resulting prose.

If I asked you what the most lethal part of the human body was, you would probably say the hands, teeth or even feet. I say that the most powerful and hurtful part is the tongue. Words have unusual power; they are a weapon unlike any other. They can be used to soothe or encourage, as well as to wound almost irreversibly. Words, unlike most weapons, can never be healed or taken back or mended in some way. Bandages have no effect, and the memory will still be there, even after forgiveness. Words can be used even by the least of us, putting power into the hands of almost everyone, the power to hurt beyond measure. Our bodies are driven by this strange form of weaponry, just as ships by the tiller.

Ok, if you don't know what a tiller is, you really should read more. It's the thingy on ships that steers it, on old fashioned sailboats, it's the thing the wheel is connected to. Also known as a rudder.

What did the last paragraph have to do with anything? Rofl. Anywho, wow, quite the random thought from High School Musical rofl. I don't like it, but not to send my mind off into a bazillion different places.

Ooh, guess what?!?! I joined this kinda club thing at school called Free Reins Writing Club so I will get to write a lot more and I'll post stuff on my poetry site if I write any good poems. It's a lot of fun so far :D

Ah, rats. Now I really miss Sagewood. :P I'm starting to miss the teachers (not many of the students though) and the funding for the art department

Why do you miss Sagewood when I was talking about Ponderosa? lol. Oh well, please, inform me :P

Because I am doing an art project that I did in fourth grade and I miss all of the supplies that Sagewood had. :P and I am actually kinda bored with most of my classes, they are very easy.
