It's not when people cry out for help that we need be most worried about them It's when they sit there in silence and say nothing.
"art is why i get up in the morning
but my definition ends there
and it doesn't seem fair
that i'm living for something i can't even define"
-out of habit (ani di franco)
"i'm gonna turn
and walk away
you can wait
till i am far along
then run and come
and catch my arm
and say you'd die
if i were gone
i want to hear you
call my name
it's too easy
just to say it soft
i don't like my language
watered down
i don't like my edges
rounded off"
-make me stay (ani di franco)
"buildings and bridges
are made to bend in the wind
to withstand the world,
that's what it takes
all that steel and stone
is no match for the air, my friend
what doesn't bend breaks
what doesn't bend breaks
we are made to bleed
and scab and heal and bleed again
and turn every scar into a joke"
-buildings and bridges (ani di franco)
It all comes down to who you are, why you are, and why you are who you are. If you figure it out... hold on to that knowledge with every fiber of your existence, and never let anyone question it.

Who knew? I do still cry. I've cried the last two nights actually. Ya... that's not normal.
Maybe she's right, maybe nothing matters. I surely don't. I mean... how long was i talking to her, trying to make her feel better and keep her from doing something stupid? And did it do any good? No, of course not. I've never mattered to them. Ever since... ever since then. For all i try i can never make things better, and yet a few words from her and she's okay. (yes i know that's a lot of her's and she's but i don't want to use names). An "i'm sorry and i love you" from her go farther than me talking to her for over half an hour? Why do i even try? I mean nothing.
She asked if she was crying. Fuck. SHE wasn't even reading. She was sitting there looking away from the computer doing that "i'll make my eyes really big and not say anything" thing that is so annoying while i sat there crying becuase... fuck. Becuase she matters so much and she can't see that she does, and she thinks she hurts people so much that she should just end it all so that she wouldn't hurt them. Maybe she does hurts people sometimes, but then... everyone hurts other people, and... you can't think that if you aren't here that's going to stop them from hurting. It doesn't work that way. Can't you see that? Can't you see how hard this has been for me? To first have to say goodbye to you and her as you go off without me and leave me in your dust and then have to watch you like this? I was always there for you, all the phone calls i made for you all the times i tried to help.... but i never could. I never could do anything. I tried to. I... i wanted you to be happy so i didn't show you how sad it all made me... at least... i tried not to. Fuck. I hate this. You know what? That "you could never hurt me that much", that wasn't from her. I typed that. I typed that so you wouldn't fucking kill yourself. Yes, she started typing after that but i was not "monopolizing" the keyboard before that. I tried to leave a couple times before that and no one else would type so i said that to make you feel like i was just keeping them from typing. But no. No, she wouldn't even type when i was begging her too. She wasn't crying. She just looked annoyed. I was crying. Fuck this. I quit nothing matters. I don't matter.
This weekend sucks. Dad didn't want to drive me to the ACAD thing in clagary cuz he was already there on wednesday and thursday, and didn't want to have to drive down again. Besides "it's not really a big thing is it?" Then he gets back and he's like "oh i heard an add for that ACAD thing and it sounds like a pretty big deal. Maybe we should go down." Well you could have fucking listened to me when i told you it was a big deal, but if i was going to cause you that much trouble we didn't have to go. I don't have my portfolio here and i have to work. Both things that i could have fixed if i thought you actually cared about my post secondary education. Fuck. He's always telling me that i need to find out eveything i can about different options and then i find something useful and he doesn't even give a damn.
I have to go. I have to work. I have to walk to work. Fuck. I hate it all.

-Goo Goo Dolls
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't wanna go home right now
And all I could taste is this moment
And all I can breath is your life
And sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't comming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

Guess i do have something else to "say". Here are some wonderful latin quotes/other latin things that i found whilst meanding amongst the chaos of the web:
Cogito ergo sum: I think therefore I am
Gnothe seauton (Greek): Know thyself.(lat. Nosce te Ipsum)
Quis, quod, ui, quibus auxiliis, cur, quomodo, quando?: Who, what, where, in what ways, why how and when?
Ruber et Niger: Red and Black
Ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant: Where they create desolation, they call it peace
Nemo sine vitio est
- No one is without fault
Vanitas vanitatum et omnia vanitas: Vanity of vanities, all is vanity
Veni vidi vici: I came, I saw, I conquered
Video meliora proboque deteriora sequor: I see the better way and approve it, but I follow the worse way
Veritas odium parit: Truth breeds hatred
Cogito Ergo Doleo
- I think therefore I am depressed
Si Hoc Legere Scis Nimium Eruditionis Habes
- If you can read this you're overeducated
Vah! Denuone Latine loquebar? Me ineptum. Interdum modo elabitur
- Oh! Was I speaking Latin again? Silly me. Sometimes it just sort of slips out
Aliquando et insanire iucundum est
- It is sometimes pleasant
even to act like a madman
"Fiat lux."
"Let there be light" (Vulgate Genesis)
"Utinam barbari spatium proprium tuum invadant!"

here for now
i bet you're wondering
if you woke up today
just to learn why the caged bird sings
i bet you're wondering if the goddesses are all crazy
or just keeping it interesting
situated slightly outside society
at odds with its odd offerings
i bet you're teetering on the edge of sobriety
just to alleviate a few things
like the fear that you're standing here
cuz you want to be liked
you know you need your instrument
but does your instrument need to be miked?
you keep imagining that pretty soon you will just disappear
and thinking that one thing is what saves you from your fear of being here
here for now
here for now
i bet you're looking for the little red x next to the red arrow
and the words 'you are here'
i bet you're hoping that your heart will send up the white flag this time
or some sign that the coast is clear
yeah, the moment when your heart jumps
it's all that's happening
and once again, it's like the first time you've felt that shock
yeah, the moment when your heart jumps
it's all that's happening
an i was right behind the door when you knocked
thinking maybe i'm just standing here
cuz i want to be liked
i know i need my instrument
but does my instrument need to be miked?
i keep imagining that pretty soon i will just disappear
and thinking that one thing is what saves me from my fear of being here
here for now
here for now
here for now

YAY! I just realized that i only have three days of school this week because on thursday i have the council retreat and we have friday off cuz of pst interviews. Good times. Today is art drop in after school, also yay! That means that paul is probably coming and i get to finish my painting. Happy happy. Today is good thus far. However next block we get our unit test back and i think i failed, and tomorrow i have a math quiz and i'm ever so lost. :S
Hmmm while i'm here i'm puting in a link to an alice in wonderland site. More for me than for anyone else, as i don't think i'll find it again and i need it for art. If you want to visit it though it has some interesting pictures and whatnot.

The time has gone once again
When the world is too much within us
And the force of our own footsteps
Echoes loudly within our minds
-The Time Has Come - Elliot Simon
How strange it is that the people i have known the least know the most about me.
Reality is overrated.
According to a number of people (if you call three a number... but then three is a number so why wouldn't you call it as such) in my physics class i am evil. I don't know about that. Ben says evil in a dark and chaotic way... which i suppose i could live with, and Paul says i'm not evil, just impish. I say i don't know what or who i am.
I hate how, just because my parents go to bed at ten, i have to go to bed at ten. And i also hate how there is no using the computer after ten. If this rule were different last night would not have been so bad.
I enjoy my acrylic painting that i'm working on in art. This is the first time that i've actually gotten along with the stupid acrylic-ness. It's ever so veryvery cool... even if Ben thinks it looks like a rooster.
Ben is crazy... just like a lot of people at school, but that's okay cuz the crazy people are the ones that make going to school worth while.
Is worth while one word or two. Hmmm.... worthwhile.... worth.... while. Worth is a funny word. Now that i look at it i think i've spelt it wrong. Oh well. I don't care.
I have no ideas for my sketchbook.
I have no clue what is going on in math.
I don't want to study for physics. I don't want a physics unit test.
I don't want to be alone right now.
*sigh*
*SIGH*
Hehe
I have no idea why i am posting in this odd way.
I hope the spaces stay where they are. Otherwise this won't look as happy.

Well, apparently i blog a lot on tuesdays, but not much on other days. Anyhow, i wouldn't want to dissapoint anyone so i thought i ought to write something.... except that i have nothing to write and i should go now. Hmm.... well.... i shall post on thing before i go and that would be that this last month has been the best in my life so far. Thank you. Also... to a few of you.. actually more than i would like there to be... remember that you are special and that you mean everything to me. You are what keeps me here when sometimes i really don't want be and i hope i can do the same for you. Take care, you are all beautiful people and i believe in you, even if you don't believe in yourself.

People have been bugging me to update my blog *cough* kim *cough* so here you go... hope it makes you happy to hear about my... wonderful.... life. :P
Today sucked. Yesterday was bad, last night was... really bad... and then today... ya... BAD! I broke down in bio and was all teary and i felt stupid. Thank goodness for nicole... and having a fire drill so that i got to go outside and calm down. *sigh* Stupid world.
I think i failed... no wait... i'm almost sure i failed my math quiz today, which apparently was a "quiz" but was as hard as a unit test. I didn't even finish the stupid thing. Math leads to much badness. Alas.
So many things are runing through my head... but i can't write half of them down because... i can't... and the other half... i don't know... i can't seem to find the words.
