Bonjour mes amis!

Well....still tired but feeling more chatty today. :) So. On my vacation i met up with an old friend, and we spent a day together. And when i went back to the (horrible) family camp we were staying at, i got to thinking. It's odd, how our lives go. I left that area of my life nine years ago - not that long and yet a life time - and i wonder what it would havea been like had i stayed. I'd be a completely different person. I'd have been a catholic school girl, having grown up with the same people. And i'd have known nothing else. I'd have had the same best friend all my life etc. My life would have been boring. He spends his time with friends who drink a lot and do other stupid things.

And i think of all the tears i cried over leaving.

I'd have missed all the friends i have now - the people who have changed me so significantly it makes my head spin to think about it. I'd have missed the experiences that define me as an individual and have helped to shape my personality and temperament. So there. While i may miss the people.....i'm not sorry anymore that i've gone. I don't wonder at what i've left behind because it just DOESN'T MATTER.

But enough of my ramblings.

I would like to go skydiving. Because.....i want to get as close to being able to fly as i can. I think it'd be rad. And yet i'm too chicken to do the paintball thing. I think it's the projectiles....y'know...things flying at me at great speeds.....no. That doesn't do ANYTHING for me.

Well, that's it for now. Today i'm leaving you with a snippet from Phantom of the Opera. (My favourite musical...er...opera.....whatever.)

No more talk
of darkness,
Forget these
wide-eyed fears.
I'm here
nothing can harm you -
my words will
warm and calm you.

LEt me be
your freedom,
let daylight
dry your tears.
I'm here
with you, beside you,
to guard you
and to guide you....

If you don't know who thats by....I'm not telling you.

:)
