And we are off. An adventure I tell you.
Haiti for 11 days. Absolutely crazy. Pray for us. Remember us. Don't worry too much about us. We will be fine. The most powerful being in all of creation and beyond is on our side.
I love you all and have a wonderful 11 days.

Maestros Folly
Josh and I are music geniuses. Josh is a little computer challenged though. I am not. I even figured out the problem. Ask us. It is a hilarious story.
We did manage to record a songish thing. I will attempt to get it up onto either my blog or Josh's. Fear this recording.
Waterslides tomorrow. In Vernon. Shame on those who are not attending. I don't even care as to what possible excuse you have. It isn't good enough. Work. Pff. Things. Pff. Lame.
I can't think of anything else to write for the life of me.
Uh, I will try to post one more time before I leave for Haiti. So until then. Feliz Navidad.

Let me know what you think
I open my eyes and I feel
Always there an infinite dark reminder
Fall again and all will be well
It lies I know, honeyed words hard not to believe
Once more rake the flesh
Come back to reality
A promise of normalcy
This addiction of blood and pain
Razor sharp slides
Opening a channel of sanity
Permanent consequences
For a temporary solution
Truly the great battle
Fought alone and at home
The only true way to sanity
Lies in never letting go
I like the first two stanzas. Not so much on the second two.

Negligence
I suppose I should post a bit more before I go to Haiti and Camp and stuff. As per the whole I might be able to post once or twice during the summer. I will miss blogging... hahaha. No.
Tuesday, went to Value Village with Josh. Wow, I have never really shopped there before. I was a bit shocked. Go ahead laugh. I don't shop much in the first place. Then shopping at Value was crazy. Got some good stuff though.
Wednesday. Youth. I am pretty sure that is all that I did.
Today. Was really quite un-worky... up until 3:30ish. My mum got home from work and she told me we were going shopping. Whee more shopping. (By the way now that I am finished I look back and think, Whee! more shopping. Happy thoughts. Good times and the such.) Went to the mall. We started by going to a hair place to make appointments for tomorrow morning. Haircut tomorrow morning by the way, if you didn't get that from the last sentence. :P Anyways, the next thing we did was go and get bags for carry on stuff. My backpack from school was wearing really thin so I got a new backpack. I will use it for multiple things I am sure. It is pretty fantastic by the way. If I figure out where our camera cord is I will put up pictures. Next we went up to Coast Mountain to look for tilly hats. We failed at that. I did however find some stylin' sunglasses. I lurve them. A lot. Uh, after that I went down to Coles and browsed for a while. Then my mum dragged me to Thrifty's. I felt so dirty in there. I ended up getting a shirt and four pairs of shorts. Wow, four pairs of shorts and a shirt for like 70 bucks. I was impressed. Then we went to boston pizza. Then we came home. Super.
Well, that is the summary of my fantastic life. Hehe, funny.
Oh, funny story. On Tuesday I think, I woke up to someone calling for me to get out of bed. I sat up, thought to myself was that Dad? Or Mum? Why do I have to ask myself this question. I got dressed went upstairs and asked my Mum, "Did you call me?" She was baffled. All like, "No way! I never wake you up! You can sleep forever and I would never wake you!". Actually she just said no. I then asked her if Dad was still at home. Another no. The voices in my head woke me up. Awesome.

School of Rock!
I do enjoy this movie.
Uh, well the grad thinger on Friday was really quite fun. I do enjoy American Idol a bit more than I should. I don't let that bug me though. Some good badminton and some excellent videos.
Saturday was good for the most part. The earlier part anyways. If you don't know what I mean ask me. I might tell you if I want to dredge in my mind sewer where I put nasty memories.
Sunday was neato. Church. Went to my grandpa's house for lunch, I got to visit with sorta-cousins. Then we came home and I dug some turf and sweat. Didn't you want to hear about me sweating. I did.
Anyways small update from me.
Face melter!

Ze dream
I took a dream that I had recently and dramatized it to make this story. It is a little strange as per the dreamlike quality. It is also a little mooshy.
After shifting into this new dreamscape I examined the room hurriedly. Determining I was no longer in danger I quickly moved into the next room. Large banisters cris-crossed the ceiling of the large room. A stage was buried under streamers and present boxes at the other end of the room. Seconds after arriving in the room a voice rose above the rest.
"There's the man of the hour!"
I looked around me and rapidly realized I was the only
one in his line of sight. I assumed he was talking about me. Indistinct faces flooded around me. Having just come from a nightmare dreamscape I was afraid. One man shoved through, I recognized him loosely as a real world friend, Kyle. He pulled me out of the crush of bodies and embraced me.
"And how is the Groom to be?" he asked. I started violently. Groom? Nonsense, what the hell is going on here.
I laughed nervously, "Groom to be? What do you mean exactly?"
"I thought it was quite clever actually. Man you must be so excited to finally commit to her."
"Commit? What in God's name are you talking about?"
"Damn, can't use any of my terms with you today can I. Commit, I thought it summed up the idea quite nicely. Not old enough to marry but still capable of making a life long commitment. Now come on we have to get you to the stage or you will be late." Kyle and I proceeded to the stage, he moved me in front of the minister and I stood there. Quite still, the attempts I was making to straighten out what was going on were failing quite miserably.
All of the sudden everyone out on the floor separated and made an aisle straight down the center. The door flew open and she was there. Physically she was the same as someone I know and yet I knew it wasn't her. Music engulfed me as I watched her come down the aisle. Aliah, that is what her name was. The name and the face didn't fit the real life equivalent but her in the dreamscape it was the only way she made sense.
She finally made it to myself and the minister after what seemed an eternity. She stood next to me, radiant in the simple white dress. The minister began to speak but I heard none of it. The choir of heaven sang sweetly into my ears as I stared at her. The longer I stared the more I came to understand about her. She glanced over at me and smiled. Heavens choir paled in comparison. I knew that whatever this dream was I never wanted to leave. The minister finished speaking and we turned to each other. We embraced and thunderous clapping replaced angel's voices. One step together and another shift. Dark but for the moon's pale light though the window. I was in my bed. In the same room my real world self was currently inhabiting. Lying on my right side at the end of the bed I rolled over to find a more comfortable position only to find her sharing the other half of the queen sized bed. Her eyes opend drowsily, I smiled and she returned it. This was joy, having someone you loved share your bed. She put her arm around me and held me close. I returned the gesture and put my arm around her. We lay there together and I was complete.
The rest of the dream was dumb. I got up moved some stuff and found out I was in a haunted manor. Then my mum woke me up.
By the way, for clarification purposes the dream was very explicit about the non-sexuality of sharing the bed. Just so you know. Don't think my dreams are weird just because they are.
Hope you enjoyed it anyways.

A post.
Well, a few things.
In these upcoming couple of weeks I will one day find my behind seated once more in the dentist's chair. Oh boy. No actually. I will be there for a slightly different reason than most visits. Very different reason. I will be there for Microdermabrasion. I am doing this in hopes of A. Removing the stains on my teeth, or B. Significantly reducing said stains. The stains were formed on my teeth when I was still quite young. I got a fever while the teeth were developing and Bam! stained teeth.
Uh, my cat went missing. We haven't seen her for days. She might be wandering the vast savanna of Aberdeen but I doubt it. Hopefully she will find her way home soon.
Dang, I was sure there was more to post about.
Oh, just to be creepy. If you are on the Haiti team, I know your middle name! Your address too. Mwahahaha!
I am in the process of writing a song. Just to make sure you understand, I don't write songs. I am really quite terrible when it comes to lyrics. Here is one verse, the only verse so far actually.
"Ceaselessly walking this self-same path
Dreams behind me life ahead
My mind is hardened against emotion
This is what happens when soul is dead."
I am not quite satisfied with the last line yet but there it is. Oh, well I have a intro too. I would want this whispered at the beginning of the song.
"Infinite stars overhead
Sand beneath my feet
No where for me to go
Is this really what I am here for?"
I am excited for the dinner thing tomorrow.
Oh and one last thing, I really do enjoy the new Disturbed Cd. I think that is a given though.
