Do Fairy Children Go To School?

I was just going through some of my old scrapbooks and folders from back in primary school and came across a copy of a poem that I recited in a poetry recital competition when I was in about grade 1 or 2 I think. Thought I would share it cos it’s totally cute!

Do Fairy Children Go To School?

Do fairy children go to school?
Do they obey the Golden Rule?
Do fairy children learn to fly?
Have they to try, and try, and try?
Must they learn to dance and sing?
Or do they just know everything?

Perhaps a fairy child could say,
“Please may I have for my birthday
One fairy wish, or two or three?”
Of course, her mother would agree.
Then on a mushroom she could sit
And wish it all – not learning it.

Along with the mental clean that I’ve been doing I’m also attempting to clean out my room along with all the random boxes of stuff that I have floating around the house and shed. My room has had a bit of a new makeover. I’ve taken down the posters that have covered the walls for my entire life. Mind you there are still a few up, but the walls have been cleared to make room for art. I have a few pictures that I want to frame to fill up the space. I’m not big on plain white walls. I like having things displayed.
So here are some shots of my nice clean room….finally. I’ve been talking about doing a big room clean for a while.



But still I’m not done. The mission that I’ve chosen to accept is the clean out challenge. Starting tomorrow I will be going through my stuff in the spare room as well as the shed. I’ll be documenting some of my memories that I am sure I will come across. This is a throw out mission. Things must go.


I’ve also got to hook my projector back up and get that all working again. I miss laying in bed and watching everything on that, the pc monitor just isn’t the same. Maybe I’ll go and get a start on that now….

So today I ventured off to the Internet Show at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre. Interesting enough day, listened to a few seminars on ‘Social Media Optimisation’ and ‘ Search Engine Optimisation’. Wandered around picking up flyers and stuff, so got some reading material to flick through over the next day or so.

I’m pretty excited though cos I have now organised with my mate Nizmo to head in to the Supanova Pop Culture Expo that’s being held at the Royal Melbourne Showgrounds. So that should be uber exciting. Getting my Buffy lingo down. James Marsters will be there on the Saturday night for a concert but alas no autograph signing on the sunday. So glad to be finally getting down to this. I’ve heard about it and talked about attending in the past but nothing ever eventuated.
