I remember sitting on your lap, laughing Looking in your eyes Playing the game Thinking you wanted me Talking in the shadows Teasing words and playful touches Watching and listening to you Helping you rehearse that role For someone else I thought I could fill it But you wouldn't even let me try Walking up that path with you I guess the moonlight mislead me And my hopes caught on fire Blazing high Then burning to nothing Instead of steadily lighting our way
The long walk to heartache Uphill battle Instead of helping me You watch me struggle, Almost fall And you leave me behind To travel back down the path In the dark and alone Heartbreak stalks me It trips me and I fall A hard bed and a dark, cold city Stop to remind me That I won't be allowed to forget

In the year 2006 I resolve to: Sleep my way to the top.
I cannot believe I got ID'd buying a Christmas lottery ticket last night...apparently I don't even look 18 anymore? I haven't been ID'd for the lotto since the day I turned 18...crazyness. This is also the latest I've ever finished up my Christmas shopping, it's been such a crazy busy year I just finished up yesterday! But now I have all the presents, and most of them are actually wrapped. I visited Jenn and her family on Thursday night, which I really enjoyed. Hadn't seen her in like forever it seems; and her kids are absolutely adorable. Cookies are baked, goodies are ready to be eaten, I can hear Christmas music drifting in from the kitchen, and Flintstones christmas show is playing on TV...presents piled up, my Nanas here, and more family is coming over tomorrow, so we're on our way to Christmas! I'm very excited, and happy that the holidays are finally here, and I get to relax and enjoy Christmas. I hope everyone has an fun, loving holiday with family and friends, full of good food and good fun, and I wish you all a Merry Christmas!

You ever have that feeling like you were over someone, then you find out that they're with someone else, and it really hurts? Kind of like a punch in the chest, a drop in the pit of your stomach, or your eyes filling up...but while you're hurt, you feel angry at the same time? Yeah, that feeling really sucks...and that's just how I feel right now.

Sometimes I just look around and realize how good I really have it. Sometimes it's a moment in a tv show, or a commercial, a line from a song on the radio, or an ad, that strikes a chord somewhere within me, and my eyes fill up, and it just makes me stop and think about the suffering that goes on in the world. Sometimes it's a specific thought, if I heard an Ad or commercial for something, sometimes it's more general, like after watching a documentary a while ago. Either way, it makes me stop and think and appreciate what I have. Sometimes in the midst of bitching about exams, or school stress, or relationship conflicts, I just have one of those moments, and it reminds me of what a really good life I do have. And how lucky I am to have it. And it just makes some things, not seem less imporatnt, but puts them in perspective. I've been having a number of those moments lately, maybe because it's getting closer to christmas and there is a lot more advertising for people in need. Whatever the reason, sometimes it's good to just take a moment, take a breathe, and realize in spite of the trials of life, it's Good.
Applications are in. It's like a giant weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Literally. When I mailed the last one off on Tuesday I could literally feel my stress level decrease...at least a little. Now I have done all that I can do in this process, and have to play the waiting game. At least, all I can do until I get called for interviews...hopefully. Handed in another essay today, which m,eans I only have one more to write then I'm done, except for exams. My first exam is SATURDAy the 9th at 9 freaking AM. No likely. I don't do so well with the early exams. So that's Saturday, then exams on Monday, Wednesday, and the last one on the 22nd. So although I am still stressed, I am very happy that all my teachers college applications are done, and in, and I've done all I can for now. Today, er, rather yesterday at this late hour, was the deadline for the applications to be in. *sigh of relief* On a different note; elections have been called again, YAY! I am very excited that I get to vote again, I am even considering doing some campaign volunteer work this time around. I think that would be so cool. I love being involved with my country and I love being able to vote. *does a little happy dance* If anyone wants to discuss the election campains and canidates and whatnot I am very happy to do so, but a request/suggestion; Please keep it CIVIL. Be positive, and don't get personal. I get really offended when people attack me for the political views I have or support, and I'm going to be a lot more stringent in not putting up with it this time around. You don't have to like or agree with what I believe, and I love a good arguement, but keep it to the arguement, don't get personal or judgemental. That's how I feel anyways, I think that's about it for now.
