leap day!

I thought I'd post on leap day just so I can make a tradition (maybe..?) that I'll only have to remember every 4 years.

Leap days are ussually passed over easily as an essential part of the 4 year calender, created just to keep us on track in the sense of numbers and dates and such. I guess it might have something to do with the rotation of the earth in relation to the sun, but I'm sure if, or how it would, so I'll leave the technicalities to those who actually know without looking it up wikipedia. But anyway, while leap days are passed over as a regular day I realized this year that really they're a blessing. To have another day in the year to be able to spend enjoying your blessings. To enjoy friends and family, and for this time of year, another day of education. I really did not enjoy school much until I read a post on a certain person's blog and realized how much I was ignoring as unecessary work. And though yes, it is unnecessary, it gives me the leg up in the culture I live in, today. Somehow I want to make today the different leapyear extra day. Do something special for someone. hmm.

Enjoy your extra day! :)

patience is a virtue

Patience. I can hear my mom saying it. If she were here she'd probably be telling me that right now. Tonight, I go on an adventure. And I can't wait.

I seriously cannot. I mean maybe being tired will be a big downside, but its not like you can't deal with tiredness. Hm.

1:30pm. Hm. 11 hours until it starts. Approximately 18.5 hours after that I'll be done. Who knows what emotions will be pumping through me by then.

Right now its joy, and a lot of excitement, mixed with a bit of frustration and a little sadness. Over all it makes for a rather lobsided equation on the part of excitement.

Thank you, Keith.

'06 I believe

You showed how to be myself
Not to worry of others thoughts
Even when I’m the outsider
I’ll remember what you said
Even if you didn’t realize it
I saw myself in parts of you
And thought of how I could be
Now I am much of that person
I used to hide in a shell
And collect plastic turtles
Know I like to talk
And ‘collect’ friends
I’m not as shy
And I sort of like parties
I do wild stuff
I hug like I mean it
And I don’t mind romantics
I now actually sing
Because when you sing it makes me want to
I’m not scared to be myself
Because now I’d rather be hated for who I am
Then loved for who I’m not
You took me all this way
Let me help you too
