Do we mean the things we do, do we do the things we mean?

Paranormal Activity :O

So if you've seen this move, either you were too scared to sleep or you thought it was pretty awesome and slept fine. I thought it was just kinda like a really long episode of Paranormal State (seriously, if you liked Paranormal Activity, you'd like this show).

So anyway, its about one in the morning and I'm in my room, facebooking and messaging Ian (I have no cell so we use facebook inbox to write each other letters). Then I hear a creak or a noise or something and I start thinking about the movie, and I try what Ian told me he did to sleep after watching that movie, which was imagining that I was still with him. So I lay very still, I pretended he was holding my hand, that I could hear him breathing and then I actually heard breathing and it scared the living shit out of me. I was totally terrified and then I realized it was my dad snoring. Scariest moment of my life... no not really, but close.

Facepalm

So, Ian and I are having this weird conversation on facebook where hes asleep and I'm talking to his subconcious (which is a facepalm in itself) so I ask him to remind his conscious self something for me and he says (directly copy and pasted from my inbox):

I'll try :) Im actually on the way to save the princess of Nicarion, flying on my trusty dragon Valarie. If I manage to make it back alive and on time, I will be sure to tell him :)

Keeper? I beleive so... :)

But... who names a DRAGON Valarie? Really...?

UPDATE
I just explained facepalm to him.

Fatima

I've been listening to K'naan's new CD alot lately and theres a few songs that really get me. If you've ever read A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah (I wrote a post on it a while ago) then you'd see alot of similiarites between the book and the ablum.
Theres one song that really makes me want to cry. Its called Fatima and its about a girl he loved when he was in Africa. The chorus goes:

Fatima,
what did the gunman say,
before he took you away,
on that fateful day? (Fatima)

Fatima,
did he know your name,
or the plans we made,
to go to New York City? (Fatima)

Listen to the whole song. Heres a site:

The whole album is actually really great. A friend of mine recommended it after she bought because we couldn't stop singing Wavin' Flag after our school used for our Vow of Silence campaign (be silent to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves, irony...). By the way, if you buy the album, theres a bonus track remix of Wavin' Flag... just saying. :)

Overdue here...

Kay so ... random post here, lookin for opinions...

So, for my birthday Ian gave me this really pretty necklace and absolutely love it. Its a cartouche, which is bacically my name in Egyptian hireoglyphs. Its so perfect ... :)

So, I started thinking about what I'd get him for his birthday and my idea is to keep a journal from now til then, so it would cover about three months, of all the stuff we do together.

Good idea? Yes? No?

Feedback please... :)

Ugh -_-

So I missed alot of school this week :/
On monday I fell down the staris, smart as I am P: so I didn't go to school Tuesday. Nothin huge right, just some bruises and a cut.
Then I went to school Wednesday made up for a test I missed Tuesday in Civics nad got an assignment for science that I missed.
Then Thursday, I only went to my last class because I had a drama competition for most of the day.
On Friday I had to write my Civics test AGAIN because my teacher lost mine. Then second period I had a Shakespeare workshop with the drama dept and missed science for the third time this week. Then in History I found out about this assignment we were given on Tuesday and we got a class to work on. Agh crap, I just remembered there was another assignment given on Friday, but I spent the whole class working on the one I missed. :/ At least that ones not due til Friday, and we were only supposed to start notes on it ...

Anyway, my dilemma is that NONE of the notes I missed are on the school website, as my Civics teacher promised. Have you ever taken Civics? Theres alot of notes, and I missed four days of them :(
Also, th assignment I missed in science is supposed to be online, but when I type in the web adress, I get the 'this page is not availabe/ my not exist' thing. Thers notes I missed in science too, and we're starting chemistry soon >.<

So basically, I've got one of the three things I wanted to do this weekend done.
*sigh* Well, in other news, my mom still hasn't taken my ex off her facebook and happily informed me that he is now in a relationship with a girl named Kylie. I was kinda indifferent other than a silent "... his finally moved on :)"
Then I realized who Kylie is, which is kinda funy. She's my brother's friend, and I met her at the Shakepeare workshaop. She was wearing this yellow and black sweater that I thought looked familiar... It's Billy's.
So now that I know he's actually moved on, I don't have to worry about him anymore :) I still feel kinda bad sometimes because I know I really hurt him when I ended out relaionship, but that wasn't my intention.

Billy, I still don't want to 'be friends' (we're way past that now), but I am glad you're working at being happy :)
