Hola!!! And here i am again....:)

I'm actually listening to the Princess Mononoke soundtrack, and am enjoying quite thoroughly. lol. did i spell that right? o well.....

The odd thing about this soundtrack is that some of the songs are only 30 seconds long, while others are three or four minutes. Another thing they do well in the movie is make and effective use of silence. You really notice it - especiall at times like the beginning where Ashi-Taka is staring into the trees, trying to see whats there.

I saw it in the theatre with a whole bunch of friends... it was so amazing....i was blown away. :)

I've spent the last few days watching childrens movies with Kit....and having a ball, might i add. There is something to be said about "Power Rangers: the movie" lol....even IF it NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED! No.... things that take one back. It's fun - and if you've never done it, go grab some tea and popcorn and a disney movie and just enjoy. It's extremely relaxing.

I really can't think of anyone who will read this...and i don't mind. i just enjoy putting my random thoughts somewhere. Everything gets too cluttered otherwise :)

uuhhhh......what else......No complaints about my lack of activity...it's nice to relax...though my lazy, hazy days of summer will be gone soon....:( I start work......o well.

THats it for now...and, i think.....staying true to the Mononoke theme....I leave you with.....
this...

In the moonlight i felt you heart
Quiver like a bowstring's pulse
In the moons pale light
you looked at me
Nobody knows your heart

Where the sun has gone
I see you beautiful and haunting
but cold
Like the blade of a knife
so sharp, so sweet
Nobody knows your heart

All of your sorrow, grief and pain
locked away in the forests of the night
your secret heart belongs to the world
of the things that sigh in the dark
of the things that cry in the dark.

(Princess Mononoke Theme song by Hayao Miyazaki)

Salut!

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.

:)

HEY! Welcome me home to my......home.

Well, i spent time doing the family thing.....did you know there were over 100 people at the reunion? And that wasn't all of them. SOME of them couldn't make it! It was fun....even though there was a total of......4 people my age....and my one cousin had a desire to hit on my OTHER cousin.....THAT was disturbing.

THat and (though most of them get along) the very few feuds we have impact who i can and cannot talk to. Actually, they don't. But if i let them they would.

I'd update more....but im too tired. Travelling (though one REALLY doesn't do anything) can take a lot out of a person.

But i will say this. I got the rest of the Harry Potter series. And I like them. (I know it'll make Kora and Mr Yang proud :) )
