Words to live by - Just Dance.

I used to buy my faith in worship,
But then my chance to get to heaven slipped.
I used to worry about the future
But then I throw my caution into the wind.
I had no reason to be care free
No no no, until I took a trip to the other side of town
Yeah yeah yeah, you know I heard that boogie rhythm
Hey- I had no choice but to get down down down down.

Dance, nothing left for me to do but dance,
Off these bad times Im going through just dance
Got canned heat in my heals tonight baby

I feel the thunder see the lightning
I know this angers heaven sent.
So Ive got to hang out all my hang-ups
Because of the boogie I feel so hell bent
Its just an instant gut reaction, that I got
I know I never ever felt like this before,
I dont know what to doBut then thats nothing new,
Stuck between hell and high water
Need a cure to make it through.

Emilie's Email - Last Production Night

Dear Mike Brown:

This is what you should do next year.Take big peice s ofrb ristol board. Tape them to the windows of the WLUSP office. Give ppl markers to write cool quoates on the paper when they walk by dunk. Take the bristol baord down q

My ass is falling out of my pants.

What at great idea!!!

There it is, laid out in front of me -
a long, thick and very obvious line.
And I know that if I cross it, there's no turning back...I know.
I know that beyond this line is just another. And another.
Be strong, I tell myself. This line is a boundary.
But I have never known any boundaries before.
I dip my finger in and taste it.
I think to myself: I have too many feelings. I don't need them all.
There is no barbed wire here.
There are no men with guns. No electric gates.
Just one small line -
A line that is impermeable to fear and pain,
A line that separates feeling from not giving a shit.
I could leap over it and land on my feet.
But what if I can't get back in?
My lips and tongue are already numb.
I want to throw my whole body in.
But I hold my breath
and remember the last time I was this stupid,
I recall that pain, like me, knows no boundaries.
I hold my breath...and I blow the line away.
I will find other fences to climb.

I'll pry if I want to

I just wanted to share my thoughts on "talking about things."

In this strange and noisy planet, we're all actually very silent.

I have noticed that a lot of people are reluctant to leave their comfort zones when it comes to talking about the things that are important. Too often important issues in our lives are swept under carpets, overshadowed by superficial topics that are much more palatable.

Prying is so terribly underated. Today we live in a world where we're taught to be polite and worry about ourselves instead of others. Mind your own business. Don't push. Don't pry. Don't ask questions.

I really think it is the things we don't say that isolate each and every one of us in this place, when we could all be so much better connected.

So I would encourage everyone to ignore whatever silly custom or fear that is inhibiting you from following your instinct to care. Ask somebody "how are you," and don't let the conversation end when they say "oh, I'm fine."

Pumped

I have felt incredibly positive lately. In fact, I am downright pumped. There are so many exciting things lined up, how could I not be?

Most notably, I will be soaking up the sun in Florida just over a week from now and the timing couldn't be better. The weather has been absolutely disgraceful. Mother nature should be ashamed of herself.

My sister finally set her wedding date for July 11th, 2007 in Scotland and booked a dinner room at some amazing hotel that has gardens with peakcocks in it. Coincidently, 7/11 is also when Pat and I celebrate our anniversary...looks like we'll be in Europe for the big 5!

Friday cannot come fast enough. I get to party with Krista AND Lianner (when does THAT happen?) all night long to the sensational sounds of MSTRKRFT!

And finally, today Karebear and I got tickets to see The Roots @ the Koolhaus...who else is going??

Other things that have put a smile on my face is the great feeling of being HEALTHY. Who would have ever thoought that not smoking or eating fast food could possibly make a difference? Ok, maybe it was a bit obvious, but not for me. That was the only lifestyle I had known for the greater part of my life. But now, after a month of eating only extremely healthy and low-calorie foods not only do I feel great...I feel like I look great too. All my jeans fit again (yay) and I feel good in a bikini.

The timing couldn't be better. :P

Oh, Lianne

I have to be a big loser and blog about Lianne's msn name.

Lianne is my roomate and an absolutely fabulous human being. She is always up for a party and drinks like a man.

Last night was no exception. Her MSN name is a testament to her utter drunkeness last night and really, it made me laugh so hard I needed to have it on record here so when we are old and wild nights of excessive drinking are but a distant memory, I can remember just how trashed this girl was.

Maybe she went online to say goodnight to her boyfriend when we got back from the bar. Could be she went online to look at porn. Who knows. Regardless, this is what her MSN name says this morning:

Lee - if it got more drunkl than that...i really cant see.
She doesn't get enough party, she doesn't get enough

I love how it makes no sense at all and really accurately reflects her state of mind and her inability to finish thoughts last night. At the risk of sounding motherly, Lianne, I'm proud of you. You didn't even throw up.
