The Possibility of Vomiting on a Book

Of Mice and Men sincerely made me want to forcibly emit bile.
That, a Klondike Bar, and a couple of tasty burgers.
Not to mention that awful feeling you get when a friend murders his helpless companion.

I am so, so sorry Lennie!
It doesn't help that Noah once told me I reminded him of Lennie.
It's like seeing that mini-you pass away.. violently.

Lennie felt like family eventually.
He felt like my faithful puppy.
That trusted, protected, and loved me.

And then I shot him in the back.
Because I think John Steinbeck wants the reader to be George.
Because we are forced to follow him around everywhere.

It's so, very sad.
I wish I could cry.

Today was an incredible day, too!
Went to church and ran sound.. 
with a stooge-like proportion of blunders.

Eliana and Emerson were dedicated.
Ryan and Katie's shared families doubled the size of our church.
And we met a new professional musician and ate a tasty burger.

Then I went to my final driving lesson to validate my permit.
Which went well, drove from Madison to Morristown
Through Morris Plains and Parsippany towards Livingston
And finally back through Chatham and Madison.

Stopped at a drive-thru along Route 10
for a celebratory milkshake.
Thank you Mr. Hein!

So I've proven myself a safe, quick, and adept driver.
Or at least to be in possession of similar capability.
He said there wasn't a lot he had left to teach me in the first place.
So that was nice.

(Just to the side.. I wonder why I'm writing like this.)
(Is this the effects of reading some heavy and well-done literature?)
(John Steinbeck's effect carrying over into my own?)
(Whatever, I guess I'm just thinking in four-line stanzas tonight.)

Spent some time with Dad.
Read all the way through Of Mice and Men.
Should probably finish some quick math homework.
Hopefully that doesn't upset my stomach more.

And then maybe I should list out some reasons
Or invest some serious thought
As to my proposal of an early graduation
A possibility of questionable wisdom

If you've got any experience or whatnot
(I suppose this is where blog turns positive)
As to early graduation, related college admission,
the duress involved with graduating early,
or any advice whatsoever..

Feel free (pretty please)
To send me a tidbit of your insight
Because I really don't know how to start assessing
But you could probably help!

At least a little..
Thanks!
