Riddles!

One sheet, two-sheet, three sheets or four…some use less and some use more. What am I?
Toilet Paper
What has arms and legs, but no head?
Chair (featuring Ollie)
What can’t be burned in a fire nor drowned in water?
Ice
I have a big mouth and I’m quite a load. I’m not gossip, but I get involved in everyone’s dirty business. What am I?
Washing machine
Stepping out? Wear me first! I’ll protect your feet from the worst.
Shoes
Tall and strong, I stay outside. The sun, the rain, they’re by my side. I give birds homes and help you breathe. I even give you fruit to eat.
Tree
Here I come and there I go. I move really fast, anywhere I go. That’s why you take me when you’re in a hurry. When I zoom by, I might look blurry.
Car
Kick up your feet, if you will. I’ll keep you company through Netflix and chill. Though you might not notice, I’m always here, to hold your zines, your snacks, and beer.
Table
You say we’re pals, that we’re best friends. But only until the morning ends. You say I give you fuel for the day. And when we’re done, you’re gone away.  
Coffee
 Don’t frown at me, I made it clear. Won’t make a difference if you’re near. Just stand in front and I’ll show you exactly how the world will know you.

Your Reflection.

P2 Riddle

By Jacob Bates

Always gone when you need it.
A throne.
Unsinkable, Unburnable.
A spot we visit weekly, to clean off the previous week.
Well worn.
Looming above us all, watching, judging.
Vroom.
The image converter I used messed this up, but I like the effect. Memories of an often used foot rest drink stand.
Snoozing the day away.
Often a reflection of a reflection of the self.

Interesting scraps of information

When stars die, they go out in a blaze of glory. When I was twelve years old, I planned out my death in detail. I would light a tightrope on fire and string it above Niagara falls, then attempt to walk across it on my hands. By my reasoning, I would inevitably fail in this endeavor and thus, earn remembrance. A legacy. This dream has evolved past a flashy end as I have gotten older however, the many brushes with death have morphed my need to shine into a need to build something that will outlive me. I make art in order to keep getting up every day. I paint for hours, and I write poetry, and essays. I learn languages and I sing when I do the dishes. I am very invested in living, because I have tasted mortality.

I am a boxer, I have flown planes a few times, and I am a really bad cook. I speak Spanish which I learned from my Madrina, and I once shot an arrow into the siding of our house because my aim is so bad. I have lived a lot of lives and I have friends in a lot of places. I read books all the time, and I know a concerning amount about the 1453 Ottoman Turk siege of Constantinople. Oh and my name is Indy (Yes I was named after Indiana Jones) and I am seventeen.

Who is she…

Hello, I am Allisa Olsen, but most people can’t pronounce my name correctly so I’ve always gone by Alli. 

I’m currently twenty years old, born and raised in Eugene. Living in Eugene for me is blissful, only because I live outside the busy parts of the city. I love where I live, it’s convenient for me to live outside the city because I am five minutes from Lane Community College. I am learning a lot about myself and the fields I want to further myself. I am currently enrolled at Lane with a major in Criminal Justice. With my degree, Then I would go on to Portland University to get a bachelor’s degree. Criminal justice is my passion, and I want to protect people and communities. I think I was put on this earth and my mission was to be selfless and give to those who are in need. I think getting a job with my Criminal Justice degree will be able to help fulfill my life mission. 

I’m taking this course with an open mind having little information about the subject and hoping to further my knowledge in this field. With the new information I will get from this class I’m excited to apply it outside the classroom.
