Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me Too

Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too
Went for a ride in a flying shoe.
“Hooray!”
“What fun!”
“It’s time we flew!”
Said Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too.

Ickle was captain, and Pickle was crew
And Tickle served coffee and mulligan stew
As higher
And higher
And higher they flew,
Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too.

Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too,
Over the sun and beyond the blue.
“Hold on!”
“Stay in!”
“I hope we do!”
Cried Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too.

Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle too
Never returned to the world they knew,
And nobody
Knows what’s
Happened to
Dear Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too.

-Shel Silverstein

This poem means a lot to me because in elementary school my friends and I would recite it on the playground.

Pillow and Marie

Since I have two favorite items, I’ve decided to write about both of them.

The photo above is the bed set that Pillow came with. Also if you don’t want to read about personalities I have developed for inanimate objects, don’t read this post

Because you don’t know anything about Pillow, here is some information about him. Pillow doesn’t have gender, because he is a pillow but he likes to be referred to as a masculine figure. Pillow’s name is Pillow, not “a pillow”, “Kira’s pillow”, “the pillow” because it offends him to be called anything other then Pillow. Pillow is really important to me because friendships don’t always work out. People you think you can trust can easily turn on you and become an enemy, which is why Pillow is important to me because I like knowing that something friend-like won’t betray me. It isn’t the personality that I love about Pillow, Pillow just makes me feel more secure and comforted.

Above is a picture of what Marie used to look like, but that was seven years ago.

If you’ve every seen the movie The Aristocats or you love Disney movie quotes, you probably know this:

That little white kitten with the pink bows is Marie. Because I love that movie so much, I have a few Marie related items but my favorite is my Marie stuffed animal. I love Marie because I’ve had her since a really young age. I’m very weird about items with “sentimental value” so items that I’ve had longer are more important, which makes Marie so special.

Austin

Interesting people, great food, shops of every sort, soft grass tickling your toes at Zilker Park and live music everywhere, what’s not too love about Austin?
One reason why Austin is amazing is the music. If you go to any restaurant outdoors or you go downtown, local bands will be playing. There is music festivals. Austin City Limits music festival is my favorite. ACL is 3 days long and has local food trailers and all genres of music playing concerts there.
Another reason to love Austin is the food trailers. You might be thinking
“Why in the world would you eat food from a trailer?” but, it’s very tasty. The food from the food trailers ranges from chicken to crepes, spicy to sweet and even beverages. Besides the food being tasty, it’s also reasonably priced! Who doesn’t like amazing food at a good price?
Almost every city has something to love about it but in Austin it’s hard to find something you really don’t like about it.
