"Someday Soon"
5/24/08

someday soon i want to tell you

someday soon i want to include you

someday soon i want to open the doors

doors to my world

one day soon i'll want you to know

one day soon i'll want you to understand

one day soon maybe you'll love me

love me the way i love you

someday soon i will tell you

someday soon i will include you

someday soon i will open the doors

doors to my world

one day soon you'll know

one day soon you'll understand

one day soon you'll love me

love me the way i love you

someday soon i'll tell him

someday soon i'll include him

someday soon i'll open for him the doors

doors to my world

one day soon he'll be glad to know

one day soon he'll be glad to understand

one day soon he'll love me

love me the way i love him

someday soon he'll save me

someday soon he'll keep me close

someday soon he'll shield me

shield me from the world

"Restless No More"
5/24/08

when you laugh my heart sings

sings of joy

sings of happiness

happiness you bring

happiness you bring to me

joy you radiate

joy you radiate around you

when you smile my heart shivers

shivers with comfort

shivers with comfort you bring me

when you speak my ears thirst

thirst to hear your voice

thirst for your voice

when you are near me my soul rejoices

my soul rejoices

rejoices for your presence

when i think of you i am still

finally still

when i think of you i am still

restless no more

Red

"Red"

Born of a woman's womb
Lungs opened brought first breath
Shed first tears
The blood is red in these veins

See with two oceans of blue
Growing and cutting brown hair
Hear, smell, feel similar to you
The blood spilt will be red

Love to love and be loved
Family of loving arms
Can one be any more loved?
The blood is red in these veins

Child of God
Blessed with what I got
Life won't end with the tomb
The blood spilt will be red

Born of a woman's womb
Hear, smell, feel similar to you
Can one be more loved?
His life didn't end in the tomb
He bled red blood
Just like me
For me

Swept Away

Swept Away"

i'm swept away by your beauty

swept away by your grace

swept away by your accepting love

by your friendliness

by your kindness

by your non-judgemental gaze

i'm swept away by you, like a fallen leaf by the autumn breeze

swept away by your ability to ease my pain

by your laugh

by your smile

i'm swept away by you, like a stone by the river's pace

swept away by your openness

by your patience

by your guidance

i'm swept away by you, like a beach ball at a windy beach

i'm swept away by you

i'm swept away just knowing you.

swept away knowing you love me

swept away knowing you accept me

swept away knowing you befriended me

swept away

CUTS CUTS CUTS

don't do this to me nina

HAUNT 2007 aka the day they thought we were real ravers aka halloween!!

Hayley and I finally made it to haunt this year. we went as ravers, it was halloween.

Camping

to quote v. carlton

"I have wandered far and wide
for something real something to die for
but I have found you and you do not see
all that is me all that is true

I am more than you will see,
I am more than you will need,
I am more than you will see,
more than wanted"

finished

i thoroughly enjoyed the final harry potter installment.

Disneyland/License Test

So tuesday i went and applied for a job at disneyland. and i was hired!
i'm going to work in the stores in the westside of disneyland. now i have to do some paperwork and need to go back on monday to turn them in and finish some other paperwork. however, it has to be on tess's birthday :( i don't like that... now she has the day off and its her birthday so there is no chance in hell that i'm gonna ask her to drive me down there monday nor would she agree to do that anyway. sooo i need to pass my license test on friday.

speaking of driving... i had a behind the wheel lesson today. to refresh myself and to get some professional tips and corrections so that i will be ready to pass on friday. she showed me some very useful things for driving how the dmv reguires to pass. at the end of the lesson she said that if i work on those small things and practice them more in tomorrow's lesson too i should be fine, she said everything looked good. i have more confidence that i'll pass.
