Business...

I shall take refuge behind business. And the lack of homework that is circulating between classes right now. That would be why I am writing this, not what I am taking refuge behind, for those who caught that.

That would be the explination to why this blog has remained uninhabitated by me. Just a little stress... you don't exactly jump for joy when your Honors teacher says, write me an essay on why this book is a best seller, use quotes, and don't go over six pages. The six pages may seem like relif for most, but by that he means, be close to six pages, four and half, five, six. No small feat. At the same time your trying to figure out WHAT the intern in the other class is trying to tell you... after he gives you a universty workload... true its due in about a month, but there's still stress. However, you are currently pleasantly surprised by how well you are doing in a class that in not your forte.

Back to what I decided was blog worthy. I may be starting a SPY cell. Yup. I still am waiting to hear back on the places that I might be able to hold it at. I kinda explained to Liz what I want it to look like. She said that is mostly modeled off the SPY cells of old. The ones that are now and forever gone as the leaders got busy or went to college. That surprised me. The basics of what I want it to look like? A small accountibilty group. Max number seven. Limited visitation. To and from. Eventually getting to know each other so well... That sums up my dream right now. I have to go check on the dog. If you find any good quotes I am still collecting. Bye for now.

Like them? Some are happy, mean, silly, or just plain out make you think. Of course this list has been edited to what I liked. Shifting through profiles takes along time...

News... of some sort

People said that they wanted to know about my Saturday!! Wow didn't think people really wanted to know... but it's really nice to know.

'Kay, we'll do a quick rundown then. In the morning I got up about tenish, and did homework. My little brother thinks I am a nerd for trying to get it done... but I had alot to do, did that till about elevenish, had lunch, let my dog out to run and helped my dad pick apples.

Anyone want apples? That one tree gave us a little more than a garbage bucket (one of the big ones you take to the curb). I realized once again that I am afraid of hights. Who likes going up a ladder only braced agaisnt some branches that very well might give under your weight? I admire my dad so much for going up there as if he didn't care. Heights and Pony don't mix that well. So after my dad got down the ladder, I went to go and chill with a Sarah. We went and got some slushies... Sarah was surprised that I can't have gum in my mouth and drink a slushy at the same time.

So we got to her house, and like most girls, decided to do our nails. She had a pretty sweet idea, with just putting black nail polish on the very outer part of her nail and calling it a English manicure... opposed to a French manicure. During this we were having a pretty good talk and catching up with each others lives.

So then we realize that if we don't make food soon, we're going to be late... and that we were, by five or ten minutes... didn't matter as no one else was ready to leave yet anyway. So we get up there, and there were some pretty cool bands playing. My favorite one of course was from HistoryMaker. Salvador was intresting, but played much too loud for anyone to really hear you could listen, but you couldn't hear. Then came on Joy Willams. I am pretty close to netural on her... she's alright to listen to. She has a bit of developing to do. She did have this incredably cute accent while singing...

And I already made my comment on the last band. In the middle A Guy came on to give a talk. Pretty much to call unbelivers to become belivers. I felt pretty akward at this point in time. I mean, what are you supposed to do? Go up again? Or stay back and support the ones that decide not to go up. Even if it is the first time? In the end I just stayed in my set. I didn't like the speaker. Truthfully, I zoned out much of what he was saying. Opps...

Then on the ride back we tried to get Addy to dance, but she wouldn't. Don't know why... speaking of Addy, you're in trouble. And as a side note, how'd your soccer game go? If you answer your still in trouble, if you don't your in more trouble.

Then I've had a pretty busy week with stuff... like a yesterday. School, lots of homework, help out at Netural Zone, dog training pretty much right after, and then I got to go babysitting, and I had to do some of my work over there. It was alright, we watched the movie Eight Below. My mom got it.... I love that movie... mainly because it is not cheesy at all.

By the way, I is collecting quotes. So if you have any really cool quotes leave them by or post them on your own blog and let me know to take a look.

Lord of the Dance

I danced in the morning when the world was begun
I danced in the Moon & the Stars & the Sun
I came down from Heaven & I danced on Earth
At Bethlehem I had my birth:

Dance then, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!

I danced for the scribe & the pharisee
But they would not dance & they wouldn't follow me
I danced for fishermen, for James & John
They came with me & the Dance went on:

Dance then, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!

I danced on the Sabbath & I cured the lame
The holy people said it was a shame!
They whipped & they stripped & they hung me high
And they left me there on a cross to die!

Dance then, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!

I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black
It's hard to dance with the devil on your back
They buried my body & they thought I'd gone
But I am the Dance & I still go on!

Dance then, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!

They cut me down and I leapt up high
I am the Life that'll never, never die!
I'll live in you if you'll live in Me -
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!

Dance then, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!

These are for you Werner, now please learn the proper lyrics to the chours at least...

Now, for the actual post... I was going to post about Friday night and Saturday... but I dunno if you wanna hear it.

And it's kinda late to go jabbering on about that now.

I got Snow Dogs... for those who don't know it's an awesome movie... poor old Jack...and guess what? I have the first part of the V speach memorized... pronucation might need a bit of work though...
