Boo-urns to you titles!!

"As though the world were wearing black
And You were wearing white
You love for me shines through Your eyes
Like a brilliant fire
And it's clear to me
You're the only one I see"
Fallen for you - LaRue


Wow, a lot has happened in the past 2 weeks. Well for starters, I got a Job!! At the Bulk Barn. I have already had two shifts and my thrid one is tomorrow. Basically all I am doing now is cleaning, but after I am trained I get to work on cash (I believe). It's pretty darn exciting to have a job and be making moo-lah.

So I've kinda been really interested in writting (and drawing) recently.(Pomes, songs). One day I was bored in Co-Op and drew a picture of two flowers. One of them dead, and one perfectly healthy. This poem kinda came from that picture.

Withering Away
Two Flowers.
One is upright, standing strong and tall
The other-
bent and drooping.
One of them is withering away.

Two People.
One is similing and laughing.
The other-
similing and laughing.
One of them is withering away.

Two People, Two Flowers
Which ones are withering away?
It's not easy to see-
when people mask their suffering
and pretend it's all okay.


Something I have really notced recently, is that people like to mask their pain. As a flower slowly begins to die, we can see it. If we water it, it has the oppertunity to come back to life. However, when people hide their pain, we don't know when they need to be "watered". Keep your eyes open, because you never know when your flowers are withering away.

Later

Who invented the concept of titles?

"Like clay in a potters hands, mould me, mould me. Like a child in a father's arms, hold me, hold me. Like a sparrow afriaid to fly, embrace me, embrace me. This is just between you and I, I love you, I love you. "
LaRue ~ Like Clay


Hello begining of semester 2. It seems like it'll be a good one. I have Math, World History, and Co-Op. I'm actually SO escited for World History. I've only been it to for 2 days and already I'm so hooked. Should be a good class. Math is... well math. And I can't really jugde co-op yet because it's just in-class stuff anyways (boring as ever).

So Graphite is all voer for another year. It went by extemley fast. Our band played so it was definatley my favourite year so far. Although there was some disadvantages because I wasn't in a room with some of my closest friends ( I love you Seana!!... and many others). And I feel I didn't get to spend enough time with them. But I still had an amazing time. Probably the most intense moments for me was singing "Not Be Shaken" and "Take My Life" on Sunday. Also, I really felt like Ross was speaking directly at me this weekend. "Check the expiry date" will forever be engraved in my brain (as will the fact that nothing truly matters in the long run). What a way to bring in the new semester.

Next stop: Kingdom Bound 07!!

Job interview tonight... ikes!

Laters, Emily
