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.

-Saki (Hugh Hector Munro)

 

[I read this quote today in the back of english class, and found it enjoyable.]

A Kodak moment.

No, Virginia, I did not faint.

"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.
