The World According to Leslie

So, I just thought I'd let everyone (if anyone actually reads this) know that I have deleted my poetry blog. I currently have this blog, a blog for my English assignments, and a Girl Scout troop blog. I'm hoping to be able to keep all of them up! :) Anyways... no more posting poetry for me... well... I can't really say that. I'll probably put some up here from time-to-time. Until next time........

I just updated my other blog...... check it out! It's HERE .... at Poetry by Leslie Jackson. It only took 3 months to put a new one up! lol Maybe I'll start to keep up with things better now! (Yeah right! Who am I kidding!) Until next time........

I know I haven't really been great at keeping up with things, but.... I just updated my other blog-- Poetry by Leslie Jackson . Check it out! Also....Weight Watchers update. Ok...so weight update! For the past 3 weeks, I have stayed at 370. So this week, I was a little busy and didn't really keep up with what I was eating (but kept up with points, if that makes sense) and I gained 8 lbs. I'm back at 378. However, I knew I was going to gain weight, so that was NOT a surprise. I just have to do better THIS week! :) School....I am completely finished (waiting on final grade) in my EDUC class at UNCC. This week is my FINAL WEEK until August! Can you feel the excitement in the air? :) UNFORTUNATELY.... between now and Wednesday, I have two books to read. I also have to check out the other books that we read since the mid-term to refresh on characters! I have that final Wednesday night! In my other online class, I have a final exam, but I have the questions alread...

So it's been a WHILE since I updated my poetry blog, but I did it. I just put the last poem that I wrote for 1993 on there. It's called "Why Me?". I am almost to my 16th birthday in my poetry. In case you have never read any of my work, go check it out here !! Until next time........

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama . You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week. Ok....so I'm soooo hoping I'm doing this right. I grabbed the button from her (MckMama's) side bar. I grabbed the other text above from in her post today! So I'm hoping this works. Since this is my FIRST EVER "Not Me Monday!", it is a little short! Let's go... First, it was NOT ME who sent a screaming 5 year old out the door to Kindergarten this morning. It was most assuredly not me who looked outside (still in my pajamas) to be sure the neighbors weren't outside staring at my child! (They weren't...this time!) It was also not me that when asked why I wanted to "flatten" my hair for church last night responded to my mother with "Well, why do you always have yours looking like a football helmet?" Needless to say it wasn't me that my mother didn't sp...

For those of you who know me in real life, I love to write! I started writing when I was very young. When I was 15, I started compiling my poetry into a notebook. Somehow in the past 15 years, I have kept up with it. Yes, I have lost it probably 100 times, but I always manage to find it! Recently, I started a blog about poetry. I decided to use it to let out a little of my creativity. When I first started it, I had temporarily lost the notebook, BUT... I found it! The first few things on the site have nothing to do with my personal writing. They are just things I love to read. They are things I love to hear. They are some of my favorite poems! Today, however, I included my first personally written poem on the site. If you would like to check it out, please do.... it's here . If you would like to add some of your own work to the site and become one of the authors/contributors, I will add you. Just please remember when you read these that I was only 15 for them. I have so...
