I Could Cry A Million Years

Jackie and I just got out of a conversation.

Wow, was she pissed.

I need to talk to her. I mean, really talk to her. Soon.

So here are today's (and the recent past and soon-to-be-future) events:

- Xavier was TRASHED. Milenyo certainly had her way with it. Everything... totalled. Especially the Sacred Heart Garden. We'd all gotten inside the classroom and were wondering why it was so damn bright when we realized that the trees outside our window had been taken down (and those weren't any ordinary trees either. They were about 5 stories high). We were all pretty grumbly about it, too.


- I helped laoshi teach some kids Chinese today.

- I've been marathoning Charmed videos ever since Friday morning. I got through about 7 episodes of season 2 when the DVD just died on me, so I moved to season 3. I'm at episode 19 already, now. (The reason I didn't watch season 1 was because I already had, a long time ago, from a different source)

- Meggie's debut is on the seventh.

- Alex's and Meggie's birthdays were on the 29th of December. They're eighteen now.

- Mom's birthday was one the 1st of October.

- Catherine's and Ah-ngin's birthdays on the 8th of October.

- Gian's birthday on the eleventh of October.

- Char's Days was moved to this week.

- Jake Haw's birthday on the 6th of October.

- Mr. Perez's and Courtney's birthdays on the 10th of October.

- 4 day weekends are bliss

- I want to write something for BURN but I can't find the inspiration, or inner peace. Yeah, you see, when I write, I have to be either super duper inspired or passionate (*cough*HSATD*cough*) or completely, maddeningly at peace with life. Either has a very big chance of happening, as the feeling doesn't have to last--a temporal fit will work quite nicely.

Okay, so there was this song that used to be my favorite when I was in Canada. And even today, when I listen to it, I am reminded of Canada. Amazing what the effects of Aaron Lines' music are.

I Can Read Your Heart by Aaron Lines

Well, I don't claim to know everything
But some things aren't hard to figure out
I can tell your love for me’s been fading
And I know what you want to talk about

Cause I can read your heart
It wants to say goodbye
I can read your heart like an open book
It's written in your arms
They no longer hold me tight
And what you're about to say is tearing me apart
So don't start, baby, I can read your heart


I felt it skip a beat on the night we met
Moving cautiously at first, then letting go
Yeah, with each passing day, life turned another page
So there ain't much I don't already know


Cause I can read your heart
It wants to say goodbye
I can read your heart like an open book
It's written in your arms
They no longer hold me tight
And what you're about to say is tearing me apart
So don't start, baby, I can read your heart

Well, I knew this day was coming
It was there between the lines
Still I was hoping maybe I could change your mind

But that's not gonna happen
No way upon this earth
So just kiss me one last time, but don't say a word

Cause I can read your heart
It wants to say goodbye
I can read your heart like an open book
It's written in your arms
They no longer hold me tight
And what you're about to say is tearing me apart
So don't start, baby, I can read your heart

So don't start, baby, I can read your heart
I can read your heart

Then there was this absolutely wonderful Christian Rock song. I sent it to Char recently, and I'm not sure what her reaction is yet. But here it is.

Just The Way I Am by Big Daddy Weave

Unbelievable, I’m blown away it’s true
By the matchless love that I’ve found in You

Undeniable, the changes in me
I’ve never felt so free

It makes me want to dance
You make me want to dance
When I think about how

You love me, You love me
You love me just the way I am
You love me, You love me
You love me just the way,
Just the way I am

Ever patiently accepting me
Lord, You love in spite of everything I do
But, oh, so faithfully
You’re committed to the process that makes me like You

And I feel like I can dance
Oh, You make me want to dance
When I think about how You

You love me, You love me
You love me just the way I am
You love me, You love me
You love me just the way,
Just the way I am

Not when I’m good enough
Not when I clean my act up
Not when I cross that line the thousandth time
And become a better man
Your grace is more than enough
To cover all my sins

You washed them away
So right here today
You love me just the way I am


You love me, You love me
You love me just the way I am
You love me, You love me
You love me just the way,
Just the way I am
