" Reading has always brought me pure joy. I read to encounter new worlds and new ways of looking at our own world. I read to enlarge my horizons, to gain wisdom, to experience beauty, to understand myself better, and for the pure wonderment of it all. I read and marvel over how writers use language in many ways I never thought of. I read for company, and for escape. "

"UH OH"
Well as I mentioned in my last post, it was Corey's birthday party yesterday. Everything was going good, people enjoying themselves, until something horrible happened. Don't really want to write it on here cause then it would just take too long. Let's just say, drugs and alcohol mixed together is a BIG NO NO ! I mean 'duh' who doesn't know that right ?! Anyways, cops were called and shit.
A night I probably won't ever forget.
Now his friends probably reckon we have a retarded family, HAHA. (Well I'm sorry for laughing, but it is funny in a way)

So Nique claimed that "K-Mart is opened 24/7 this weekend" last night. Her, Ryan and I decided to walk to Northland at like 10pm to check it out and we proved her wrong. Ryan then suggested to drop by at one of his mate's house to say a quick "Hi" on ELM STREET. I NEVER KNEW THERE WAS AN ELM STREET IN PRESTON! *shits in pants* - no, not really dumbass! As we were walking, Ryan made up some story about how someone died on the street we were walking in and at that moment I decided to push Nique and scream. We were in the middle of the road. It was not a very smart move but luckily no cars were driving. Lol. Still walking.. walking.. walking.. Ryan all of a sudden says, "nahh, let's go home. I can't be bothered anymore". SURE SURE RYAN, NIQUE AND I BOTH KNOW YOU WUSSED OUT CHICKEN SHIT! AHAHAH. And then, we walked some more, but went home anyway.

"Desiderata"
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing future of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrending the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be, and whatever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
Sweet prayer my english teacher gave us.

You Do Not Learn This At School
Eleven Rules That Schools Don't Teach
By Charles Skyes
Rule 1: Life is not fair. Get used to it.
Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3: You will not make $40,000 a year right out of high school.
Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss.
Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your parents had a different name for burger
flipping: they called it opportunity.
Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes. Learn from them.
Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from
paying your bills, cleaning your clothes, and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So, before
you save the rainforest from the parasites of your parents' generation, try cleaning the closet in
your room.
Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools
they have abolished failing grades; they'll give as many times as you want to get the right answer.
This of course bears no resemblance to anything in real life.
Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off, and very few employers are
interested in helping you find yourself. Do that in your own time.
Rule 10: Television is not real life. In real life, people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go
to jobs.
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During lunch today, my group (Anna, Kathy, Maria and Vivian) were thinking of ideas of what we could dress up as for our graduation breakfast. There were many disagreements until I suggested Rugrats. Only one person rejected this idea but too bad ! Haha, sorry Kathy, it was 4 against 1 afterall.
Something hilarious Kathy said today;
"I know ! Let's go as Lilo & Stitch ... except .. which one's Lilo and which one's Stitch?" AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Sarah and I walked all the way to Fairfield Station today after school ! With a minute to spare before the bus came to the stop that's opposite the station, oh yeah. :)

What Does This Mean?!
Possibly the most interesting horoscope I have read so far. This was yesterday's.
On the same day that networking and connecting with both new and old friends is so important, there is also a need to follow your own instincts and your own path. This may bring a revelation, in terms of the people you associate with and whether it's time to strengthen some connections and move away from others. It is your gut instincts and your intuition that will tell you who is part of your future and who is part of your past.
So this morning on our way to school, Sarah and I saw a dead squirrel. I swear it had gotten electrocuted or something from the power lines, how sad :( We then crossed the street only to find a dead bird lying on the side of the foot path. Sarah started freaking out and was like "WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? IS THIS A SIGN THAT I AM GOING TO DIE?!"
