Lean On Me
Lean on me,
When you're not strong.
I'll be your friend,
I'll help you carry on.
For, it won't be long
Before I'm gonna need,
Somebody to lean on.

You ever get that feeling that you should have kept in touch with people but didn't? And then you realize how marvelously many people you could say that about? Ever notice how many people who may have been good friends at one point, or turning into good friends at the very least seem to have slipped away without you noticing? "Keep in touch." What touch? Words on a screen? The occasional "Hey, how ya doin'?" Is that keeping in touch? So many people I can say that to, so many people I don't know anything about anymore. Nothing of substance to back up the face.
Why do I do this?
The joys of nostalgia and the internet.
Shane is a 7-year-old boy from Ottawa who has been diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and is fighting this at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). According to the The Ti-Loup & La Poule Foundation (go here for an explanation of the name), Shane's story is heartbreaking:
"At almost 5 years old Shane was diagnosed with A.L.L. After 1 month into the treatment he was in early remission, meaning there were no cancer cells in his blood. Shane's family was very pleased with the early results, but his protocol called for 130 weeks of treatment. Then on July 6th, 2006 Shane relapsed after completing 108 of the 130 weeks. It was a shock to everyone including his doctors. Shane may have to undergo a bone marrow transplant down the road, but the good thing is that his brother Jacob is a match. Presently, there is no sign of cancer in Shane's system since relapsing."
They say his only "dislike" is "being in the hospital for long periods of time."
Shane is going to be 8 soon and would like to receive as many birthday cards as he can for his birthday. Its a pretty simple request and it would mean a great deal to this little boy. One of our local Ottawa radio stations is organizing drop offs around the city. Andrew Anderson at Bound By Gravity would like this to spread to the rest of the country. I say we spread it to the rest of the world.
Anyone reading this, no matter what your country, please send a card to Shane at:

The Passionate Poetess to Her Love
Come create with me, and I do vow
Our lives will be made here and now,
I’ll write with you, and love we will
Have wondrous days, and dreams fulfill
A stirring starts most wonderful
Feel of emotion’s tide like pull.
We’ll rock the boat with words and deeds
We’ll satisfy our mutual needs
We’ll lose ourselves in fantasy
We’ll fight for rights and liberty
Our passion will mark and stain the sheet
In passion pen and page shall meet.
I’ll take thee from thy velvet bed
Cup thee in one of flesh instead
To share as we want, naught is barred
Held in my hand, you’re smooth and hard
And from your tip, no need to think
Now flows a stream of warm sweet ink
Our curves are supple, sinuous our lines
They weave and dive, forms intertwined
To spell out joy and pain and bliss
A note of love for one I’ve missed
Our medium is the written word
Sounds of true love will ne’er be heard.
Why do you assume I am stupid?
Why?
Why bother?
Why believe?
Why trust?

Why They Love You: You are too good to be true.
Why They Hate You: You take more than you give.
I know that life ain't always good to you.
I've seen exactly what it’s put you through
Thrown you around and turned you upside down and so you
You got to thinking there was no way out
You started sinking and it pulled you down
It may be tough you've got to get back up
Because you know that life ain't over yet
I'm here for you so don't forget
You can count on me
Cause’ I will carry you till you carry on
Anytime you need someone
Somebody strong to lean on
Well you can count on me
To hold you till the healing is done
And every time you fall apart
Well you can hide here in my arms
And you can count on me
To hold you till that feeling is gone
I wonder why nobody's waiting on you
I'd like to be the one to pull you through your darkest times
I'd love to be the light that finds you
I see a silver lining on your cloud
I'll pick you up whenever you fall down
Just take my hand and I will help you stand
Because you know that life ain't over yet
I'm here for you so don't forget
You can count on me
Cause’ I will carry you till you carry on
Anytime you need someone
Somebody strong to lean on
Well you can count on me to hold you till the healing is done
And every time you fall apart you can hide here in my arms
And you can count on me to hold you till that feeling is
Gone so you can live today
Say so long to yesterday
Keep on counting on me to carry you till you carry on
Carry on
You know that life ain’t over yet
I’m here for you so don’t forget
You can count on me cause I will carry you till you carry on
Anytime you need someone
Somebody strong to lean on
Well you can count on me to hold you till that healing is done
And every time you fall apart
You can hide here in my arms
And you can count on me to hold you till that feeling is gone
Remember life ain’t over yet
I’m here for you so don’t forget
That you can count on me to hold you till that feeling is gone
Remember life ain’t over yet
I’m here for you so don’t forget
That you can count on me to hold you till that feeling is gone

Ass...just becasue it is the one you say with most conviction.

Another math...Just because...You actually LIKE it...as long as it isn't a full afternoon of it! 
Others' lives are your salvation. Listening to
people's problems is your way to escape
reality. You have an extraordinary wonderful
soul, but this soul is carrying the whole world
in its shoulders. With your understanding
restless nature, you are constantly looking for
answers.
~~I carry the whole world on my shoulders~~
What's your way to escape reality? What's your salvation?

Your element is Light. Your heart is pure and
shining with love. You believe in the goodness
of those around you and give almost everyone a
smile. You are not the kind to hide your
happiness and tend to smile all day long, both
in and out. But when sadness hits you, you
become very devastated and may be upset for
quite some time. What you need in your life is
friends, friends who will love you
unconditionally, like you love them. But you
have a naive nature and don't always notice
when someone is trying to hurt you. Some would
say you are oblivious to mean people, which
makes you an easy target. However, your true
friends will probably be there for you and save
you. In school you are either the popular one
or the little weird one. It all depends if
"the higher people" find your caring
side irritating or not. Nevertheless, you have
a bubbly personality and are social. Big partys
may not be your thing since you want bonding
time with your friends, so slumber-partys fit
you more. You like the happy things in life and
like everyone else to be as happy as you are.

Think back, and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?
And do you think I’m wasting my time
Doing things I wanna do?
But it hurts when you disapproved all along
And now I try hard to make it
I just wanna make you proud
I’m never gonna be good enough for
You can’t pretend that I’m alright
And you can’t change me
‘Cause we lost it all
Nothin’ lasts forever
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect
Now it’s just too late
And we can’t go back
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect
I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
Did you know you used to be my hero?
All the days you spent with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you don’t care any more
And now I try hard to make it
I just wanna make you proud
I’m never gonna be good enough for you
I can’t stand another fight
And nothing’s all right
‘Cause we lost it all
And nothin’ lasts forever
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect
Now it’s just too late
And we can’t go back
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect
Nothing’s gonna change the things that you said
And nothing’s gonna make this right again
Please don’t turn your back
I can’t believe it’s hard just to talk to you
But you don’t understand
‘Cause we lost it all
And nothin’ lasts forever
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect
Now it’s just too late
And we can’t go back
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect
I’m sorry I can’t be...
I’m sorry...

You are a
protector.
Yes, you don't like to kill people. That goes
against everything you belive in. It's not that
you are a coward, but your ideals and morals
wouldn't allow it. You are the typical hero, do
the righteous things, get the bad guys and do
it all legally. But just because you don't kill
doesn't mean you can't kick ass. And that is
what you do. You use your brain and your
strenght to do honourable deeds and protect
people you know and love. If an evil guy is
going to take over the world soon, it's you who
will get involved. You hate watching innocents
suffer, and love seeing bad people getting what
they deserve. You are probably also happy and
optimistic and work pretty good in groups. And
the friends you usually make are true ones.

What Type of Killer Are You? [cool pictures]
brought to you by Quizilla
Evanescence - Tourniquet
I am not in the least surprised that no one guessed that one....sorry for being that evil guys..
The Guess Who - Hang On to Your Life, and Undun
These ones were kind of out there too, but they were easier than Tourniquet at least!
In your eyes, people see kindness... You're just
so... so... so... Sweet! You're kind and love
to give others in need, a helping hand. You're
pretty shy but can be warm and friendly towards
those you know, and those who know you best.
Your sanctuary would just be any place that is
warm, cozy, and inviting to all people. You
love to show signs of affection to your lover
but a small simple talk does the trick as well
 Sadly, your kindness can be used to your
disadvantage. People can use you, and take
advantage over your sweet and sensitive
mind.... But fear not! With you being so kind
and generous, people look up to you and adore
you ^-^ No one would dare hurt you because they
can't bear the thought of your sweet smile

A lot of those, have more than one answer, just like Marie. I am sorry for the ones that are a little bit less known, though there are very few of those...
Have fun!
I have been realizing, slowly, how stupid I have been in the last little while...I used to fight silence...this time, I just let it slip over me. I let the silence run over me, until it envelopped me, and I didn't remember the days of noise. I am sorry, to all of you. I am sorry a hundred times over. I am still always here to talk to, if you care to do so...an email, a note, a phone call, or simply calling my name. Take care of yourselves, all of you. Love you all, forever and long after. *hugs*
*hums softly*
Hi guys. It's been a while since my last two posts, and I apologize for that one in the middle of the night... I don't do that very often....by window I meant a literal window, not a figurative one. I meant the one right above my bed...there is not much space between it and the ground. When I need to clear my head, I jump out it, be it midnight, 2 o'clock, or 3:30 in the morning. Just thought I would clear that up.
Kait, I am NOT ignoring you! Now quit that! If I was, I would give you full permission to slap me. Hell, apparently it seems like I am, so you already HAVE full permission to slap me my friend. I am thinking that I need it, and I am sorry.
Marie sweety, call me. Really. Whenever you want to. Stop worrying, because there is no need. I've always looked after myself pretty damn well, and I will continue to do so.
And the rest of you, well, just take care of yourselves, okay? I haven't been around the last little while, so I am not exactly sure how you all are, but taking care of yourselves is always a good plan.
Love ya all, *hugs* Talk to you later. Anyone who wants, just give me a call.
*tears run silently down face*
*goes out window*

Thank you sweetheart. *hugs* That makes more sense now...I looked at the original load, and then went to fix it...But when I hit the edit button it looked like it was already fixed, so it made no sense to me...Now I get it. I was a little bit confused...
Hello, darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision
That was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
Beneath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed
By the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share...
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence.
"Fools," said I, "you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows."
"Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed in the wells of silence.
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said: "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls,
And whisper'd in the sound of silence."
Standing tall, pleading, staying here. I will not leave. And I will not give up. I cannot. I never have. But silence is slowly killing me. Complete silence will destroy me. Three...Silence times three. And lies from what I've been told. They ask me if I would rather they lie to me...she asked me...How am I supposed to handle THAT? I would NEVER rather be lied to. When someone is upset, I prefer to know!
I think this is the darkest post I have ever put on here...My mood is dark, yes, but don't worry about it. Like I have always said, the sun always comes up, and today is like any other day.
Mental note: Must. Not. Leave. French. Project. Presentation. Until. 5:00. The. Morning. Of.
Actually, the scary thing is, I write best between 2 and 6 AM, which isn't really a good thing, but I guess I have to live with it. SO doing it a 5 o'clock the morning BEFORE, would be a much better option...Or 2 o'clock...*shrugs* Whatever. It gets done.
It seems like I complain about projects a lot on here; I apologize you guys. I don't mean to whine. I just hate presentations...
*hugs* Love ya all, and take care of yourselves.
Thank you, all of you. And don't try to argue with me, it deserves thanks. I got far too much attention yesterday...
Danny, I love it. You know that I do. I am amazed. It's far more that I needed, far more. Thank you. I have a few questions to ask you before I change it back...Thank you.
Love you all. Take care of yourselves. *hugs*
