Hey cuties! Here's a poem written by a GL reader. We love for it's quirky honesty--we're totally thinking the same thing! Tell us what ya think in the comments, and don't forget to send us YOUR creative writing.

"I would just like to say, I find you very attractive"

Excuse me, sir, I don't believe we have met,
And we really haven't spoken yet.
But that's okay and fine with me,
Though I have something to say, you see.

I've noticed your lovely eyes
That sparkle blue and green and wise.
I see your curly russet hair,
And I'd recognize your melodic voice anywhere.

I bet you like to play many sports
And listen to music of all sorts.
I must admit, I love your freckles
Each and every unique speckle.

But now I watch you walk away,
And I'm left feeling a sense of dismay.
Even though your still cute from behind,
I can't help but lose my spice of mind.

Because how am I supposed to say
That you look very nice today,
If you won't turn around and see
Shy, small, and still-waiting me?

MOD,
I am (hopefully) gonna start christmas gift shopping soon, and I have ideas for everyone in my family except a few. They are... My 17 yearold older brother, and my 19 year old tomboy stepsister. Any ideas? PLEASE?

 

Hey girl, well honestly, you can never go wrong with clothes! Check out LoveTagLA, they have some amazing new designs. Also, H and M has some really great gift ideas as well. If they are into sports, maybe try that out and give them some sports gifts. Just browse over the internet and in stores, there are tons of great stuff out now for the holidays!

I like to do my Christmas shopping early. I have gifts for everyone except my dad.
Do you have any ideas? He is a website designer and a photographer. Thanks!

 

hey! if you share your dad's interest in photography why don't you take some pictures inspired by him or his work and get them framed or make an album or something? I bet he'd love that Smile

This is really cute!!
Also MOD MOD can you answer a question...
I kinda like this new boy in my school so i try to say hi to him most of the times i see him in our hs hallways... Is that weird, will he think im like stalking him, or is it a good way to get noticed? Also, thanks for all the help you mods give, we love you all!!!

Hey girl,

Is he saying hi back? If he likes the attention, that's definitely a way to get him to notice you, but you could also tone down to maybe once a day. Or try having a conversation instead of just saying hi! Try to get to know him better as a friend, and then he'll be saying hi to you too Smile
