One more Dance?

Hey readers!,
So my english teacher's started this new "self-directed unit", and its killing me slowly. Anyway, i wrote this poem as one of the assignments and i really like it and want to share. Here it goes...

"Relationship" is like a favorite song

You play him over and over

It seems like you belong

Each lyric draws you closer

It feels like you can’t get enough

But then suddenly you do

And it’s irritating like a constant cough

No more the inseparable two


Oh weren’t you so sick with love?

You’d write his words on your palm

Then safely hide them in your glove

Angry, you’d let his melody make you calm

Sad, you’d let it help you cry

Never existed a greater trust

How can the well now be so suddenly dry?

How can everything be lost?


And after many lonely years,

You hear him one more time

Memories flood your eyes with tears

Dancing once more, just once more can’t be a crime


It would be so funny if she saw this online and then i'd have to prove to her that it's actually my blog.

Blimey, I've run out of chocolate craze/Diet time

SHOCK
HORROR
I've lost my craving for chocolate!!!! Seriously..i dont know why. I woke up this morning to the sounds of birds tweeting in my four poster kingsize bed, bathed as usual, ate breakfast prepared by my loving slaves mater and pater..

Hmph okay exaggeration , but the truth isn't that far out... I woke up this morning as usual after 5 hours of sleep, summoned by mater to clean the house before the inspectors came ( I dont know why we have inspectors coming to our house.), was forced to make The Five Year Old Zizzi style spagghetti for breakfast, forgot I wasn't fully clothed when the inspector came in, got told off for pointing fingers at the Five Year Old after he spat out my spagghetti,
I think I've lost the plot here.
So anyway i dont like the taste of chocolate anymore..it just doesn't work for me..it's lost its zing, you know, that je-ne-sais-pas-quoi..


Could be the figure perfect models in the Facebook pictures i was looking at. All long limbe-d and flawless skinne-d.

Ah yeah..I think thats it. Diet time.

Christmas,Penguins, Bermudology,Tiger Woods and whatever random stuff i can fit in this title

Its nearly Christmas!! Merry crimbo in advance to everyone.
Christmas also means 2009 is almost over, which sort of frightens me. [Does anyone else remember all the Millenium hubbub? Yeah? Well that was ten years ago!!We're all slowly dying]

En plus, this is the first Christmas where I've actually had a job, which puts pressure on me to actually buy well thought out presents.

Unfortunately this rules out the easy option:
-brother 1. socks
-brother 2. socks
-sister 1. socks, pink.
-parents: generic scarvey glovey things.

In a moment of pure genius and sheer selflessness, however, I've decided to be less stingey and buy proper presents..."joint" presents..I come up with the idea, and the parents pay! Perfect!And,, still in the spirit of christmas I've signed up to volunteer at a Christmas shelter for homeless people ( HINT HINT, we need more volunteers!www...hang on, forgot link). ...I've just realised, though, that I'm not entirely sure what Ive gotten into. For instance, item three on the itenary reads


"make breakfast, talk to guests"

With my amazing -ish conversation skills I will probably end up telling the homeless guests all about my new world view Bermudology, which holds that the world is flat and outer space is just a mirage from the US government( who else), who hung up fairy lights as so called stars in the sky ..

( and also conveniently invented time zones, before any smartypant pedants who may be reading this ask.).

Ha ha. I see that I'm not getting out of my little fantasy mood any time soon, not since reading Shade's Children by Garth Nix- the ultimate fantasy escapism novel..you can read an excerpt herehttp://search.barnesandnoble.com/Shades-Children/Garth-Nix/e/9780064471961#EXC.

To any fellow lovers of alternate universes, Garth Nix is waaayy better than Philip Pullman, James Patterson, or Anthony Horowitz!

For any non lovers of alternate universes, please ignore that and I'll get back to Christmas.

Ah Christmas..a time for the idiotic media attacks on sports celebrities, the rigged betting over the UK's Christmas no1 ( YESS RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE!!) and shops raising prices like we dont know they just do it to make January sales look good..*rolls eyes*. New year is probably more important though, with all the resolutions, and new you's and dumping exes ( and getting a new one right on top of the Eiffel tower at the stroke of midnight- *cue more eye rolling*) to think of. I would talk about mine, except

im too lazy

and also

too sleepy

But more on this tomorrow...and I promise to even include something about the penguins!

Read this Only if you Want to Die Laughing

So mango has been doing some extensive research on the correlation between consuming foods that are high in estrogen and body shape. While researching she found this post on a blog:

"How do I Dress My Pear Shape.

For the pear shaped amount it is best to accession the absorption to your high physique with ablaze colours on top and darker shades beneath the waist. You wish humans to be focused on the face and shoulders, acceptable a beyond apprehension and appearance off that authentic waist.

Your basal bisected is hardly beyond than your top, you can abrasion hardly looser applicable clothes on top after any problem. However, adapted acme attending abundant on you as well. Blouses with a lot of detailing, acme in all sorts of prints with lighter and brighter colours, or textured fabrics.

Look for acme that accord you a added chest attending such as necklines that are scooped, v’d, boxlike or angled this will advice draw absorption to your face. Jeans that are flared or with a added leg this will advice adumbrate those added thighs and break abroad from bound skirts they will alone appearance every ambit or bang and cone-shaped jeans are a audible no, no.

A-line skirts consistently attending acceptable on the pear shaped physique and you can go for the beeline leg jeans with a attenuate heel for the slimmer leg look, but be accurate to abstain beefy shoes. Stick to blanket about dresses and authority waists this will advice alloy in the hip line."

It looks like a lot to read until you look through it and realize it makes no sense
HAHA! Who on earth wrote this?

Living a lie


Who is that boy?

And is He looking this way?

Is He staring at me?

Please tell me He’s not gay

My eyes try not to stray

Maybe I should say hey

Oh great He’s walking away

Next time, I say

Here He comes again

Now’s my chance to bargain

My way into His heart with my charm

With only my heart at risk of harm

I approach like I’m walking on fragile glass

I feel a clench on my arm and what is it now?

It’s that annoying kid in my pre-calc class

And while we talk I watch Him pass

Maybe it’s all good anyway

I mean I really had nothing to say

And if He cares He’ll find a way

Now I’ll pretend I’m okay

I’ll lie in my bed and call Him stupid

I’ll even curse damn cupid

After all he gave me the curse of love first

But is it possible to love a stranger?

I guess I’ve been living a lie.

Nothing is broken ( right)?


Does it ever slightly annoy you when people go around variously moaning, writing, or singing about how their heart is "broken"? If you are anything like me you've probably been as nice as you could while secretly feeling smug about your own life; how you're too smart, too strong, too independent.
Because why should another individual, a foreign mixture of genetics who is totally alien to you and so completely unnecessary for your own survival, have control over your circulatory system? They shouldnt be able to make your head hurt and your chest hurt and your heart beat slowly. They shouldnt be able to make you feel deprived of oxygen. They shouldn't have any effect at all, or this is what I ( and maybe you) think even while handing the comforting chocolate bar to a forlorn friend.

But life have a way of catching up on you..er I mean me..even the things you think you'll never do. Our experiences are so common as human beings..we should never think we could never feel what someone else felt because we are capable of doing anything. Condemn the germans in the '4os for sitting by and allowing Hitler to rule..if we were in their place, would we have spoken up, paid with our lives? If we were white colonialists in the 1800s, would we have been disgusted at the thought of black slaves?

I digress..largely coz Im trying to avoid having to admit to anything . To say that anyone else had the power to hurt me...but he did, and I suppose I do feel like crying on someones shoulder and drowning my self in chocolate bars. I guess I'm more ..empathetic ( I wish the university admissions officers could read this) now that I belatedly realise I'm not on an exalted podium of smugness above everyone else.

But one thing I refuse to accept. Like that inspired Jordin Sparks person said ( is her last name really Sparks though?? what are the chances?)
Just give it a moment. To realise nothing's broken.

No broken hearts then. To be honest we wouldnt have worked anyway. Us two, we'd have made two halves of a whole idiot...as they say, on Fairly Odd Parents.

Hello Seatle Fireflies in The Vanilla Twilight


What's my new obsession with Owl City!!?? I heard this guy listening to Fireflies on a school computer and decided to listen to it when i got home, i totally fell in love with it. This guy is amazing honestly. He has the cutest lines in his songs like:

1. Time together isn't ever quite enough
When we’re apart whatever are you thinking of?
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?
All the time --- The Saltwater Room

2. The silence isn't so bad,
Till I look at my hands and feel sad,
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly -- Vanilla Twilight

3. Please take a long hard look through your textbook 'cause I'm history -- Cave in

4. Chills run down my spine,
As our fingers entwine
And your sighs harmonize with mine
Unmistakably
I can still feel your heart beat fast when you dance with me -- If my Heart was a House

5. Circle me and the needle moves gracefully
Back and forth
If my heart was a compass you'd be north
Risk it all cause I'll catch you if you fall
Wherever you go
If my heart was a house you'd be home -- If my Heart was a House

6. To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell -- Fireflies


I really love these songs so give them a chance please :) It's really hard for me to listen to them now because i think i have a crush on the guy who introduced me to owl city and he doesn't really care that i exist..So here, take them and listen to them for me :)
