'blogging during free block'

hey, here's a thought for the day:

every day, there are people who are in pain, there are people who die, there are people who experience failure.

but, still, there are also people who live.
each new day, someone somewhere falls in love.
there are people who smile & learn something inspiring. there's renewed hope.

every single day
there are people who struggle & people who find happiness.
& some days, there are people who do
both.

survive.

distance myself, more space.

break.

i hesistate.

stop-pause-

don't say sorry.

be rational, don't jump to conclusions.
how about you look before you leap?
your drop in self-esteem
was visible in that moment.
trust. enjoy. carefree...
please, you're great.
-the optimist

to a girl i've known so long:

you will never see this,

because you don't pay attention.

it's okay if she doesn't want to talk to me.

it's okay if she doesn't like to remember

all of our games, all of those afternoons,

all of our memories.

i just wanted to let her know

that i still do.

oh my gosh, i feel bad now

i'm sorry, i'm sorry, i'm sorry.

i feel remorse for my lies.

[i will apologize to this person tonight.]

I love you, i don't deserve all of it,

i'm disappointing.

one more thing,

[to the person i'm thinking about]

i wholeheartedly like our phone conversations.

[i feel a regret coming soon.]

The poor boy must already be overwhelmed with just dealing with my sister. 

: ]

who knew there was so much love in the world?

 

Good gracious.

But good gracious, you've got to educate him first. You can't expect a boy to be vicious until he's been to a good school.

el sangre

No, Virginia, I did not faint. 

*One pint of blood can save three lives. [Rachel told me that.]

"talking about the middle east..."

Iran.

It bothers my friend and I, how a lot of people pronounce the name of the country of Iran as "i-ran" instead of "eeh-ran." 

NO. You're not running anywhere, and it sounds "stupid-american" to say it like that. Especially when it's a politician who is saying it. 

We're going to change the spelling or something, because it's irritating.

Although, spelling it like "Eran" would probably just make those people pronounce it similarly to "errand," which isn't better.

I don't think this bothers anyone else? We're sensitive.

: ]]]

i think i understand.

Share your secret

With me, please,

If you need a listener.

The insecure and intimate

And self-exposing thoughts

Will not escape the confinements of your trust.

I am not skilled in speaking

Or making small, idle talk.

The words, the expressions

Convey more meaning flowing into my brain

Than they do when I hear the noise

Uselessly leaving my mouth.

I like to listen, relate, and debate.

I like to console, counsel, and empathize.

I even like nodding my head.

Share with me 

Anything that goes on in your mind

That would like to come outside.

Let me sit with you,

Let me think, cry, and try to

Have a new perspective.

Make the small talk,

Make the even bigger talk,

Make whatever you wish,

And I will be there.

So please shut me up,

But never shut me out.

I am a listener.

weekend

i give thanks for a great weekend.

it was very fun, inspiring, and i am quite enthusiastic about the program this year.

our "star" of phase three staff is amazing, and i know we have strong leadership and are actually going to know what we're doing! 

Oh gosh. I need to remember some more great, memorable quotations from this weekend. I like to post them on my MySpace blog.

• "...All you need in life is a hot guy..." -Nikki 

"And DUCT TAPE!"-Zoe

• "Sensual....going to grandma's" -Sasha and Sahara
