Edelweiss... every morning you greet me

What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about?
 
#
At some point, someone stopped urging you to be creative. Someone told you that you couldn't play all day, that you couldn't have imaginary friends. They washed the paint off your fingers. They told you the things you made weren't good enough. They donated your toys or sold them in a garage sale. They told you that you couldn't sleep when you felt tired, eat when you felt hungry, laugh when something was funny, cry when you were hurt. They told you that you had to pay attention even when it was boring. They told you that you couldn't be an individual. At some point, someone told you that you had to grow up. And you listened. But the truth is, when you were six, you really did have it all figured out.

Yep... today was strange... I laid on the floor in the band room and some things that were said were "If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it might be a rooster". Yeah... and then I had chem which sucked, even though I did relatively well on the last quiz considering most people failed it.... and then Acting where we continued to write the play... and then English where we talked about "unsheathing our rapiers" ... and I don't want to go into full detail because it's too funny and if I talk about everything that happened this week, I won't have any funny stories for Friday. Geometry... slowly understanding this trig stuff... lunch... american history and Will scared the crap out of me and then proceeded to discuss how utterly useless cheerleading is... lol. Study Hall is the dumbest waste of time ever. Band... came home... went to band concert... came home. Yeah. My boring life.

"This is the start of something good, don't you agree? I haven't felt like this in so many moons..."

-Gavin DeGraw "Follow through"

"Ooh At last
the skies above are blue
well my heart was wrapped up in clover
the night I looked at you"

-Etta James "At last"

Ev'rybody's looking for that something
One thing that makes it all complete
You'll find it in strange places
Places you never knew it could be

Some find it in the face of their children
Some find it in their lover's eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings
When you find that special thing?
You're flying without wings
Some find it sharing ev'ry morning
Some, in their solitary lives
You find it in the works of others
A simple line can make you laugh or cry

You find it in the deepest friendships
The kind you cherish all your life
And, when you know how much that means
You've found that special thing
You're flying without wings

So, impossible as it may seem
You've got to fight for every dream
'Cause who's to know
Which one you let go
Would have made you complete?
-Ruben Studdard "Flying without wings"

Just some lyrics that sort of express how I feel... not the last time i'll do it...

Hola everyone... wow... i've used a lot of... blogging sites... first LiveJournal (http://www.livejournal.com/users/daisy_girlie) , then Melodramatic (aka Melo... http://www.melodramatic.com/users/edelweiss) but my Melo may not work right now. Currently I am in love with Xanga... I really like it. It can be cheery or gloomy, and it's easy to use and make it look like you really know what you're doing. http://www.xanga.com/edelweiss_girlie

Yes, I used this theme instead of making cool color schemes and all that good stuff. I'm normally really good at it (check out my xanga), but I really don't feel like it right now.

On another note, prom is coming and I need to go shopping... I just want to go and try on every dress I can fit into until I find the perfect one. I don't care if I don't have a date, i'm going to my prom. Although i'd prefer to have a date, if not, i'll just go with Stacie. lol.

*signing off*
