1. Freestyle Assignment 1
For my freestyle assignment I wanted to pick up an old poem I worked on some time ago. I made it in Icelandic class a year back, I think. I haven’t completed it, yet, and I also lost half of it when moving, whooo...
Last year I tried to make a song out of it, but that didn’t really go anywhere as I couldn't find the right rhythm and notes for my poem/lyrics. When I attempted to develop a melody, I drew inspiration from songs like I Deserve to Bleed and Self Care and some Indie artists. But anyway, here it is:
Spring is when all flowers bloom,
Daisies, roses, dandelions.
I can no longer see the moon,
guess it comes with all the sun...
I wish that it would burn me down,
blister up my skin!
All that I would ever need would be that single win!
Do you like it when I paint my face in dainty ways?
I feel like a fool, a clown!
Must I really keep it on the down-low?
How shall next I display my tenacious woe?

1. Freestyle Assignment 1
I added the last two lines just now, and I’ll probably be adding more for a long time, tinkering with my art of words. I haven’t decided on a title for it but I’m trying to decide between “Burnt Flora” and “Súpa” very different, I know.
It is mostly about my body dysphoria and being too scared to come out to certain family members, or other people I know, about being trans and queer. In my first sentence, I use flowers as a congruity for femininity and spring for its “blossoming”. When talking about burning me down under the sun and making my skin blister, I mean that I want to depredate those gorgeous and oh-so-holy flowers, my feminine traits, and instead become something grotesque and unhuman, possibly liking myself more that way. My parents encourage me to use makeup and dress in ways that exaggerate my curves. It makes me feel uncomfortable and wrong. Last but not least, it’s about needing to nearly lead a double life and wanting to just promulgate myself without any feeling of dubiety.
The words I learned in this assignment are:
Tenacious: Þrálátur
Congruity: Samlíking/svörun
Depredate: Niðurlægja/eyðileggja (Depredation is more used)
Promulgate: Kynna/sýna
Dubiety: tvístígandi
I wanted to practice explaining and expressing ideas and reasons.

2. Freestyle Assignment 2
I have lived in this house for a little over two months. It’s a lovely, quaint, little cottage sitting amidst trees and bushes in a bit of clearing. It has a main floor with a kitchen, lounge, and bathroom. An upper floor with two bedrooms, and a little storage space. It also has a cellar, in which, a washing machine and storage are situated.
It is quite old, evident by the small doors and narrow stairs, amongst other things, like the heating system and odd sounds and creaking in it. The old furnace in the basement is broken. When it broke I went and bought a bunch of thermal underclothes expecting it to be cold as it was at the beginning of September. And yet, there are many warm spots in the house, it doesn’t have the best insulation, and the old fireplace, I know for a fact, couldn’t heat this whole place. But I sure as hell won’t be complaining.
Now, at around seven-thirty, I come downstairs, about to make something to eat, and head to work. I had to find a new job after moving and was nervous about not being hired anywhere, but it all worked out since I- Wait, when did I bake that?
I look at the mountain of cookies sitting on my kitchen table, chocolate chip cookies. That’s odd, but.
‘Oh, well; cookies’ I think as I grab one and bite down. ‘Wow, these are really good!’ I start the coffee maker and continue chewing on the cookie.
