Shake The Dust

Shake the dust. This is for the forgotten. This ones for the people who want to be in love but can't find someone to love them. This ones for the people who don't know how to let go. This is for the girls who skank around just to feel some love and attention. This is for the rich kids who have been handed everything to them their whole life and don't know how to work. This ones for the single women with 6 kids. This ones for the people who have been lied to. This ones for the teenage pregnancy's. This ones for the homeless. This ones for the kids that are bullied for being different. This ones for the girls who have never been asked to a boys choice dance. This is for the people who aren't sure who they are. This is for the girls that are so concerned about their image. This is for the selfish. This ones for that boy who will do anything for a laugh. Shake the dust.

Gandhi

I keep forgetting to shave my legs.
My mom hates that.
But she's not in charge of me. 
When will we own ourselves completely?
Who knows.. 
I feel like my mom will own me until the day i die. 
I keep on seeing this bright light in my backyard. 
It never goes away. 
I wonder what it is?
As soon as you get close, It just goes off.
Hopefully tonight is not the last time i'll see the light because i think that's where gandhi is hiding out.

Blurbs

Pretty Girl - Priscilla Renea
Priscilla is singing to a girl who doesn't have any confidence and thinks she isn't pretty. She just won't be herself. Priscilla just tells her that if she sees what she is seeing she is a pretty girl, inside and out and that she is perfect.

Wrong man for the job - JoJo
She was in a relationship and thought she knew him so well and everything was so good in the beginning but now the flame is gone. Now that's she's out of it she realizes that she was in denial and he was the wrong man for the job and that needs to let go all though her heart it breaking but she needs to move on. She loves him but he's not the one.
Kleptomanic - Bruta
A kleptomanic is someone who steals. This song is about a girl who is highly addicted and will fool you from the start and then steal your heart away. It is a pretty brutal song towards this girl. It just goes on saying that she'll lie to your face and to get away if you see her. My perception of it is that the girl just had no emotion and doesn't care.
Say Goodbye - Chris Brown
Chris loves this girl but he can't do it anymore. He doesn't feel the same way he felt about her and he doesn't want to break her heart. He knows that they need to go their separate ways and there is never a right time to say goodbye but he's got to do it.
Should've Said No - Taylor Swift 

Taylor's boyfriend cheated on her. She finds out he says that he would take it all back and that it was a moment of weakness. She just goes on that he should've said no and she should of been there in the back of his mind and he would still have her. 

Songs with stories

Plot: Ludacris tells the story of  3 young girls troubled life's and tells them to runaway with him to a happy place.
Characters: Ludacris, Mary J Blige, Lisa, Nicole, Erica.
Conflict: Lisa who is 9 years old, her mom's boyfriend sexually abuses her, Nicole who is 10 years old, her step dad physically abuses her, Erica who is 11 years old got pregnant by a 16 year old who bails out.
Theme: I think the song acknowledges some of the unfortunate situations that teenagers can be in and wants to send the message to teenagers they are not alone and that there is help out there. 
Setting: There a a few settings i picture a lot of them in broken down houses, empty streets and buildings.

Picture to Burn Taylor Swift

Plot: Boyfriend broke up with her, has a new girlfriend 

Characters: Taylor, Ex boyfriend and new girl. 

Conflict: Boyfriendless getting over him. Has a new girlfriend that he lets drive his truck and never let her.

Theme: I think the theme is to just get over ex boyfriends. Boys are stupid and a waste of our time so just get over it.

Setting: I picture her in her bedroom getting all of his old stuff and burning them. 

Jealousy

Never give all the heart by W.B. Yeats.
This is one of the very little poems that make me jealous. Some of it doesn't really make sense but the words are so profound and put together. My favorite line is "For he gave all his heart and lost" It's kind of a sad poem but it's just brutally honest and one that everyone can relate to which is what I really like about it. I wish I was creative and good with my words like this W.B. Yeats and this poem of his.

Love..

I'm scared of love. I'm scared of marrying the wrong person. Love hurts sometimes. Every relationship takes a lot of work and isn't going to be easy but will always be worth it. My favorite quote is no boy is worth your tears, but the one who is, won't make you cry. I truly do believe this. Boys who make you cry. WASTE OF YOUR TIME. Harder said then done trust me. But I think true love is two people that make eachother better. Love is when you give someone to yourself fully and they love you just the way you are. With your good qualities and your bad ones. The perfect word for love is sacrifice. Love will always find you if your open to it. You just have to be willing to put yourself out there and take risks.

Complaints

I'm tired of these last months of high school dragging on.
I'm tired of defending myself.
I'm tired of repeating myself.
I'm tired of cops.
I'm tired of boys.
I'm tired of dramatic girls.
I'm tired of gas prices.
I'm tired of getting paid $7.25 an hour.
I'm tired of "I love you to your face and then "I hate you" behind my back.
I'm tired of curfews.
I'm tired of crying.
I'm tired of  being tired.

Love Remembers

Do you Remember your first crush? Your first boyfriend? Your first kiss? Your first love? These are the things we remember. Isn't it funny how a certain song, a certain smell, a certain place, a certain thing can bring back memories or emotions for a person. Your brain is a very powerful thing. It will always remember these things and relate these certain things to certain memories. It amazes me how much you can remember. I feel like these types of emotions are a lot easier for you to remember because these types of emotions are so strong. Love will always remember..

I'm Thinking About You...

I'm thinking about you like a fat kid thinks about cake. Like a baby thinks about its mom. Like cookies think about milk. I'm thinking about you like chips think about salsa. Like eggs think about toast. Like a teacher thinks about their students. I'm thinking about you like preschoolers think about crayons. Like summer thinks about the sun. Like the beach thinks about sand. Like kids think about sand toys. I'm thinking about you like dogs think about fire hydrants. Like Donald Trump thinks about money. Like Kobe Bryant thinks about championships. I'm thinking about you like a druggie thinks about their next high. Like my parents think about bills. Like popcorn thinks about butter. I'm thinking about you like CRAZY!

Boulevard of Broken Dreams

I walk alone. I walk alone. It's pouring rain down on me.A road with no cars, no people, and no sunshine. Just me, left with a lump in my throat which I can't seem to choke down. I got left  high and dry by the one that I "thought" loved me back. I got left with nothing. No self confidence,no dignity, no money, no friends, no family, no laughter, and no more happiness. There is nothing left here to live for anymore. All this world is made up of is lies and cold heartless people. I keep walking. Miles after miles with no destination. I walk alone. I walk alone.

Direct Orders

You are under direct orders to rock the f*** out! Rock out like your favorite song comes on at a dance. Rock out like you just graduated from high school. Rock out like you just got your first kiss. Rock out like a Nicki Minaj comes on the radio. Rock out like it's the first day of summer. Rock out like it's 5 o clock in the morning and your still awake. Rock out like you just got out of rehab. Rock out like you do when your hard work is starting to pay off. Rock out like you do after a long hard work out. Rock out like you are the last one on earth. Rock out like you just met your favorite movie star. Rock out like you just aced your math test. Rock out like when you think it's a Wednesday but it's really a Friday.  Rock out like you just got your very own car. Rock out like you just got that job you've been wanting. Rock out like you just won the million dollar lottery. Rock out like you just found out your leaving to Hawaii in the morning. Rock out like it's your birthday and your best friend had thrown you a surprise party. Rock out like you just got pulled over and the cop didn't give you a ticket.

Intro

Hello my fellow classmates. Welcome to Creep Town. Some prefer Jazz Town.  But I prefer Creep town.Which ever floats your boat.  Have any of you seen the movie Never Been Kissed? Probably not because it's kind of an older movie, but if you have than you would understand why I have chose my pen name to be Josie Geller A.K.A. Josie Grosie. She is an inspirational.

To be completely honest with you, the reason I took this creative writing class is because I need an english credit and this sounded far more interesting than English 12. I enjoy to write also unless it is something that is totally boring and that I don't really care for. Also the fact that I'm secretly in love with Nelson could possibly be another reason. So yeah... I'm really looking forward to getting deep with one another and doing it in such a shady way.

Love, Josie Geller.
