Anywhere
This song was recommended to me by Andie... I'm really liking it. It's by Evanescence.
"Anywhere"
Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me
And dear my love, haven't you longed to be free
I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you
And at sweet night, you are my own
Take my hand
[CHORUS:]
We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where love is more than just your name
I have dreamt of a place for you and I
No one knows who we are there
All I want is to give my life only to you
I've dreamt so long I cannot dream anymore
Let's run away, I'll take you there
[Chorus]
Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you
Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you now
[Chorus]

23 Days
23 days until I move out of the house I've lived in for the past 14 years, and into dorm 3 at Redeemer University. I've slowly been getting things together, at least the things that I'm going to take at first. I'm going to a lot of things at home at first, and then take what I want when I get a chance. I'm planning on taking my computer and possibly my stereo to start. And then a bunch of my clothes, towels, sheets, etc. in that department. I want to take a few books, but I'll probably leave the majority of them at home until I figure out how much room I have. I plan on taking all my photo albums (relax, there's only like 3 or so. I think I'm going to take all my cd's and cassettes, just because I plan on listening to a LOT of music between now and next May. Hmmm... I need to take some less-than-new clothes for orientation and the F.R.O.G. olympics... still looking forward to finding out all about what's going to be going on for those.
Last weekend Hugh took off from Friday afternoon to Monday night to go camping with his sisters and brother and their families up at Bon Echo Provinicial Park. It turned out to be quite busy for me, what with being asked to work for a large portion of Saturday in my parent's shop, and then going to Aylmer in between chores on Sunday. Not to mention going to Port Dover on Monday in between chores for the Balmoral conference. And of course, a heifer had to have a dead bull calf, just to keep things interesting on Sunday night... almost Monday morning.
I set up my first debit card account this week, and finally, as of this morning, was able to get it to work properly. Now I just have to get used to the feeling of instant monetary exchange, and remember that I still have to pay for it... don't think I'll have too much of a problem. Sure is a lot nicer than holding on to cash though.
It's a Saturday night and I think that rollerblading would have been a good option, but there's not a whole ton of people around to go. I was talking to Mary Beth last night, and we both thought it would be a great event to set for every Saturday night. I could really get used to doing that, especially since I'll have pretty much every weekend free once I'm at Redeemer.
Have you ever seen a friend making decisions you don't necessarily agree with, and wished that you could change that part of them, only to realize that if you got that wish, your friends might cease being exactly who they are? Just a bit of a complicated dilemna I've thought of. It's just that sometimes I hate to see people stumble and fall when they could've avoided something, only you can't walk for them through this life. And you don't want to be the nit-picker of any group - watching that line can be difficult. You can't just let a person slide, but you can't dictate life to them step-by-step either.
Just some thoughts.

hey kids
Wow has it ever been a crazy weekend... Hugh took off up north to go camping with his brother and sisters and their significant others, so everything got left to me till Tuesday. I was hoping to go out to Wyoming this aft to hang out with the Woodstock and Wellandport young peoples, but I got racked into working for my parents at the shop because they're so busy there. At least I'm headed to Aylmer for part of the day tomorrow, in hopes of finally checking out Beth's pictures from the Vermont trip. Man, do I ever need to get a camera again - don't ever expect yours to make it through an entire trip to Korea unless it's either really strong or you're really careful with it. Unfortunately, I lost out on both of those counts. And then Monday I'm hoping to head out to Ben Bruining's place for the annual Civic Holiday conference that Balmoral puts on. Glad to hear that the Wyoming Boyz *hey guys, keep up the great work* are headed that way, that should keep things happening down in the Port Dover district. I could use some great beach volleyball too, I haven't played any vball at all since...... MJ's party a few weeks ago. Summer flies by too fast.
As for me, I'm out to grab a bite and then head back to work. Adios amigos.
