5. "The world comes to life, and everything's right, from beginning to end when you have a friend by your side, it helps you to find the beauty you are when you open your heart and believe in the gift of a friend." - Gift of a Friend by Demi Lovato (I think that song says it all if you've ever heard it.)

Why am I posting about friendship? I don't really know... Maybe its because I haven't seen many friends lately, and I'm beginning to miss them all. Maybe its because I've been hurt by someone and need to remember what true friends are like. Maybe it's because I read too much and watch too many movies and I see what can happen when someone doesn't know what true friendship is. Maybe it's all of those things. I guess the world will never know what goes on in my brain. ( ;

OK, I think that was enough sappy-ness for today. Anyhow, it would appear that I must be going in order to fufill the day's duties ("Hehe, you said 'duty'." Quotacious...), so I'll be off.

"A lady of Narnia must try and not totally and completely panic when some idiot decided that it would be a great roadwork project to take out all the guide rails off the side of a dangerous cliff."

  2. Kissing up is our only defense against the dark arts. (LOL... maybe HoHo gets my pun? Well, maybe I'll explain more later... Longggg story...) Cheer practice is tough. I'm trying so hard, but alas, sometimes I feel my efforts will not suffice. As my beloved Janine would say, "I need a friend." ( : Love you too!
