BUG EYES!

Ok, here I am again! You'll never guess what I did today, unless you're whit, cause I just told her. I went out, and bought my FIRST CHRISTMAS PRESENT for next year! I know, I know, Eleven months! Chances are, I'm going to put it somewhere and forget about it, but the fact of the matter is, I was there, It was there, and It was perfect for who I got it for, I just.. COULDNT RESIST! It's almost as though self control is a foreign word to me, almost. Wow, today, I went to school, and we had our grad group photograph taken. We all were called to the gym, as "Grads". it made me feel special. As we got to the door of the gym, we were asked to remove our footwear, sieng how the gym floor was just freshly painted and varnished, (it looked quite nice) and then we crowded around the seyhawk in the middle of the gym, carefully instructed not to cover it, and got our group shot taken. I felt extremely sorry for the woman who took our photograph, seriously, I wouldn't have climbed the ladder that she did if you paid me to. It was so rickety, and with each and every step she took, I saw the step sag under her feet. Even though there was one man at each corner of the ladder, holding it steady, I still would have been shakin in my boots. Or at least shakin on the ladder! Anyways, It's been a sad day in the neighbourhood. I do like the rain, but today it caused some severe destruction and devastation in the lives of some three hundred fifty north vancouver residents. So let me take this time to offer my condolences to those families who lost their houses in the flood today, and, though they probably won't read this, I'll offer them anyways. And to those who were evacuated, that really sucks man. I hope everything goes well for you. So back to randomness. I feel a rant coming on. Arg. Can't... stop.. the... rant! What makes people think that they have the right to talk about you behind your back? and none the less, tell lies about you behind your back? What is with people who can't just accept the fact that something happened, and not blow it up and make it seem so much worse than what it was, by altering the truth? What is with people like that? do they have nothing better to do? Im sorry, but people who do that really anger me, and so now, I'm going to end this rant, before I say something I really regret. *shakes head* Sorry about that guys, but sometimes, people really piss me off. Im calm, I promise. Now it's just a matter of finding something else to talk about. I just read a speech that a good friend of mine wrote, and I found a really awesome concept in it, which, with her permission, I am going to share with you.

"As we graduate in 5 months, we will all go our separate ways. You may never see the person sitting beside you ever again. I know that that is a hard thought to grasp, because I still can’t wrap my head around the idea. But I do know that life must go on, and that we can’t live within the safety of Deep Cove our entire lives. We need to go out into the world and experience it first hand. No matter how many times someone tells you something, there is no way to know if it is true than to experience it for your self. You can read all you want about the Alps, or the busy streets in Tokyo, but trust me. Until you go out there and see it and experience it for yourself, you will never know what it is truly like."

Thank you, Whitney Shrieves! You have some insane-good thoughts creeping around in that head of yours. Keep up the good work. So yeah, read that, and think about it. She's right you know. She's right. Most of us, (with the exception of a few) have lived here our whole lives, and have only seen snippets of the real world. Im not just talking big time places, Japan, France, even Arizona (ha ha props to whit), but Im talking outside of your bubble of safety. When was the last time that you talked to someone who isn't by your standards "Your friend"? When was the last time you went out of your way to meet someone you've never met before? as "seycovians", can we walk down the halls, and honestly say that we can smile at everyone who walks by? no? ? ? why not? Why does school have to be a place where you have your friends, and I have mine, and there's nothing in between? and not just school, but .. the whole world! What makes one person better than the other? Is that what this life is about? prooving that you are better than everyone else? If so, that makes me quite sad. Yeah, I've asked alot of questions today, so for now, Im going to leave you with them, and go to bed! Here's hoping you have a great one..

Love Forever Shle xoxo
