Blindfolded and oblivious

I feel the wind stinging and ing the skin
The water torturing me, it hurts so bad
But I can’t stop swimming.
Because you’re down so deep
I have to save you, pull you up
My lungs are burned by my gasping breaths of frozen air
My hands and feet are numb
I can see you, I can almost reach your hair.
And just as I touch it, I realize that I don’t have the strength
To pull you up and rescue you
I don’t have the strength to save myself
So I lay there, waiting for the water to fill my lungs
And I stare into your unconscious open eyes,
Knowing that we won’t be apart for long

I whisper “I’ll see you soon…” in your ear

And I kiss your frozen lips, and they break
The from our ed lips spills in the water around us
I smile at you, waiting for the air to leave my lungs
For the water to replace it
And all I can think of is how much I love you...

once again in mutlimedia being bored with nothing to do but blog. play auditions are monday! I'm sooo excited! AND we finally started flash in multimdea, so eventually, maybe, I'll get to make something sorta kinda high quality and perhaps very entertaining. I'm mostly just searching for a good background right now, I have one of sephiroth walking into the flames, but it's awfully bright orange and red, and I might change it. there's a nice one of vincent I saw that I was thinking about useing. well, have a great day everyone!

I saw big fish last night. It's definately my new favorite movie. wow it was soo awesome. I smiled so broadly through the whole thing. It was beautiful. I can't wait till it comes out on DVD. I'm gonna jump on it. lol. I wish I had his ambition, which is a foolish wish because really I very well might, but currently not his oportunity, and certainly not his articulation and good nature. And the world's such a different place. I it. I wish lake jackson were more theatrical.I think mr white might let me put on a one act in his theatre. I've already picked out a script, but it's all uncertain as of yet. I want to talk to him about it wendesday, but I don't know if I'll be able to work up the courage. If I do get to do "thirst" then there will only be three cast members, one , two guys, one black. I really hope I get to do it.

ok, so the Tale of Two Cities quiz asked completely random questions that had nothing to do with anything even remotely improtant in the story. I made a 57 because I missed three. Then we went to the library and had some stupid boring research project that took like 5 minutes. I'm tired. I want to go to sleep. I think I very well might quite soon.

all right, Amy. I fixed it, is it good enough? too high, too low? well good bye.

apparently, Amy says my words are too close together, so I'm gonna have to work on fixing that sometime when I have the time. maybe I'll do it in multimedia sometime. A lot's been going on, but none of it that I think anyone would really be all that interested in hearing, so I have not much to say. A Tale of Two Cities is definately something that I'm going to have to pay attention to while reading. I wish I did't read so slow. This book is going to take me forever. Phillip's alphabet book for english was amazing. absolutely amazing. A really wonderful idea, even if it didn't quite work, it almost did. well, congratulations to him for trying anyway.

Jenny got moved into my multimedia class! that's the best thing that's happened this whole school year. as far as schedual changes anyway. That class was so boring before now. and to add a million more wonderful things to it, Sarah Garet got moved in there too, and she sits next to me, which is just as awesome! and to add the cherry to the top, Annie's now in theatre with me! best schedual change ever! I just wish Bellami had gotten moved back into my english class in place of either brandon, or kelsi creveling, more so kelsi kreveling than brandon. actually, Ben and Bellami should take both of their places.then it would be the best class ever. Philllip, Ben, Bellami, Mary Grace... so anyways, I've really been trying to blog more often. I love you all, have a great day.

monologues

I had no schedual changes today, but there are lots of new people in both my classes so far. I really really wish I had had at least one class switch teachers or something. Here I am in multimedia. how boring. I finished my "shooting-star" assignment. it looks kinda funny, but oh well. God, I'm tired. good night.

ok, so we actually got phillip out of his house tonight and he helped us pick up 5 toilets and sink and drop off the tv and chairs we had picked up before. then he played video games with us. apparently that's uncommon for him. It was wonderful.

Robert leaves tommorrow, I'm officially ungrounded from my sissy grounding as of tomorrow, and we've still got several free days left. 18 people are online right now on my buddy list, and I have no desire to converse with any of them. what a shame, what a shame.

ok, now onto improtant matters, I'm seriously needing to get out of this world for a while. it's not working for me. there's not enough to do on this planet. I want to go on a quest, but there are too many cars, and that would just be horribly awkward, and I would get in trouble for taking a sword with me everywhere. ...perhaps a quarterstaf... well anyway, I need to organize a scavenger hunt or something sometime, or declare some day city wide tag day, where everyone drops everything and plays tag, the whole town.

I had planned to read several books this break, it's really a shame that I haven't. If I hadn't been playing final fantasy X then I could have read at least one of them. I have Cantaburry Tails sitting in my backpack, I really did want to read it. oh yeah, I got a new backpack today, and I've been driving a lot recently. I think I'm just gonna read books durring school. I've been saying that to myself for years, and I always get caught up talking to people and I've really been meaning to quite that. I'd honestly rather be reading than talking to other people, but I feel bad if I ignore them and they always talk to me, so I really can't help it. but I'll try harder this semester. I really hope this year is like last year and all the scheduals get horribly twisted. I really really want some class changes. Not because I don't like the class I'm in, just because I get bored being with the same people in the same classes in the same order for a whole year. Change is always welcome. I'm tired of school.
