So I've seriously fallen behind on the updates here...

Some important details that have occured in the last month or so:

1) I've gotten a job! And I'm enjoying it quite a lot. The Source keeps me just interested enough that I actually don't mind working 9 hour shifts. Usually. (Yesterday was a bit of an exception, and I was completely stressed and annoyed by the time I finally got out of there)

2) Because of the awesomeness of work, I've met a boy. This boy is completely awesome, and we get along marvelously well. We started talking and then he invited me to a party he threw. I subsequently got completely drunk for the first time, met most of his friends, freaked out my roommates by not telling them that I was spending the night, then spet much of the next day with them too. Saturday i went over to his place again, drank again, had some crazy philisophical discussions with boy + his best friend, then woke up an hour before both of us had to work, woke him up in a panic, and somehow managed to make it to work on time. (I had the keys...) Suffice to say, I love hanging out with this guy, and I'm really attracted to him. I'm not sure what to do about it though... I think he's still hung up on his ex, and I don't want to make things awkward. However, I'm sick of being cautious to the point that I never get what I actually want. And i definately want this one.

3) Had the best conversation with one of my best friends Sunday night about what our friendship actually was. And we've been on the same page the entire time without even talking about it. Which is sweet. The physical side of our relationship is simply an extension of our friendship. We're physically compatible, but there's no romantic spark. And this is okay.

4) I'm seriously considering becoming a pastor.

I just watched this movie with Chris and Justin… It was so wonderful. And sad. And beautifully crafted.

I just wanted to weep with the empty ache that I was left with at the end, and that’s rare for me to get out of a movie.

Colin Farrel was stunningly sexy once he cut his hair, and the main woman, who’s name escapes me, had the most beautiful voice. The story was so wonderfully told, and I just wanted everything to work out, although I new that it couldn’t possibly.

I loved that the movie didn’t spell everything out for you. The end wasn’t neatly wrapped up. You had to pay attention, and think about what would happen to this innocent, lovely man, who’s only want in life is to not be alone.

Wow.

Moondance

i can’t remember when it was good,
weight of days lost holding you down.

in the beginning,
in a field outside of town,
how i wish i could see.
i could open my arms…

the night sky was dressed in clouds.

if i told you a secret,
your fingertips across my skin…
all this feels strange and untrue.

i can’t stop crying.

[that]
this could be the very minute,
[that]
no one’s going to come along.

i can’t see the stars anymore.

<br>
yeah, i'm so cool that I wrote a poem with the random first lines of songs that come up on my iTunes...

Has anyone out there heard of tumblr?

The very cool site lets you collect differnt media types together in one well scripted and laid out. I discovered it near the end of february, and I've been hooked ever since.

This is my tumblr: Petals at Dawn

Check it out!

Who else is ridiculously excited about Where the Wild Things Are?????

I know it was a really short book, and i'm dubious about the content of the movie, but i'm keeping my fingers crossed that it'll all turn out awesome...

The SSA end of year formal was most excellent, and I had a great time with my bff Chris, and all the crazy awesome people from table 9!

I still think the highlight of the night was my shoes, but they're not in any of the pictures so...

This was a really cool meme. You put your mp3 player on shuffle and make a poem out of the first 25 lines of songs that come out. I'm rather pleased with the result. The punctuation is all mine, but the rest is pure artists.


far away, i feel your beating heart.

i've been running,
because i need you more than you need me.

just before our love got lost you said
"words are flowing out."
hands touch, eyes meet. . .
going through this life

there's a little black dark scar tire divide:
pack up.
turn down the lights.

looking for something i've never seen.
everyone needs compassion
i'm feeling rough, i'm feeling raw
the one who survives by making the lives

one last glance from the taxi cab
the dawn is breaking

i'll seek you out
send out the morning birds to sing

i dreamed i was missing

what are you waiting for?
the road seen beneath the van's headlights?
emotive unstable.

so you think
love, love is a word
the greatest love that anyone could ever know.

Hey! I've come to offer you all some icons that i've made, inspired largely by lyrics from HIllsong United's songs. These songs have enriched my life, and I hope that you might find yourselves using these, and getting some joy out of them!

All I ask is that you let me know what you take, and what you think of these. I put a lot f hard work into them, and I really would like to know how they are received!

I just read the BEST BOOK.

I've resolved to read at least one YA book from work each month, so that I can put a review on the teen blog. So on Saturday, I picked out a book that I thought looked neat. And boy, was it ever.

Does My Head Look Big In This

This book is about a muslim girl growing up in Australia, who makes the discision to begin wearing the hijab full time. This is a big step for her, particularly because she is 2/3rds of the way through her first year at a new, and utterly prestigious/snobby private school. The book chronicles her journey of initially wearing the hijab, and the interactions with her friends and community.

I think the reason that I really enjoyed this book was the way that it examined faith. I'm not muslim, but I am in a position where I'm exploring what it means to believe in a God. So Amal's resons for wearing the hijab, and the other ways that she expresses her faith are fascinating to me. I also enjoyed the way that the author treated other religions and the place of all religions within the context of the world's society.

Anyone of any faith can read this book and enjoy it, and I would definately reccomend it. If you aren't into teen fiction, i would still urge you to read this book, because it will give you a new perspective on the ways that other people see their place in the world.

Read it.

Well, taking a break from memes for a while, I have some excellent news!

I got accepted at both the University of Ottawa and Wilfird Laurier University!
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!

I was really kind of concerend about how lon git would take for me to get in, but I went online today to check, and there were the two offers! I'm pretty happy about this, because they are my top two choices.

Its been really hard to watch all of my friends get accepted all over the place, and not be in anywhere myself, so this is definately awesome.

Now I just have to pick one of the schools. That's going to be interesting.

I want to skip around the house singing "I got in! I got in!"

I may still do that :P

That's all for now.

Have a great March Break everyone!

Well that's dull. I wanted some exciting result like... All guy or all girl. This is just so mediocre...

Yay for new book reading!
The Big Over Easy by Jasper Fforde. This is an absolutely eggselent book. (Couldn't resist, sorry!). The book starts with the suspicious death of Mr. Humpty Dumpty, and the Nursrey Crimes Division of the Reading Police Department has to investigate. Fforde is a brilliant writer, and the other books by him that I've read are incomparable.
READ THEM!

In other news, I was babysitting tonight, and the kids were as bad as ever. Nathan wanted to take a pen, of all things, to bed, and when I refused to let him, he descided that he would be absolutely horrible. But whatever. As long as my kinds aren't that bad one day, it's all good.

School starts up again on Monday. I haven't read any of Great Expectations, but I think I have a week to get through it. Hopefully.

I cannot believe that my IB exams are in 3 months. Its unreal!
