Forever
I'm not a "Belle"
I'm a "Beast"
Not a "Princess"
But a "Dwarf"
A "Lost Child"
Not a "Pixie"
A "Thief in the Night"
Not an "Only Girl"
"Sea foam" following
A "Broken Heart"
I'm not a "Jane"
I'm a "Wild Animal"
A "Wild Child"
Seperated from Society
Lost in the "Pit of Lost Dreams"
Cannot be rescued from "Hell"
"Glass slippers" are Lost
On my "Large Feet"
I'm "Asleep" and Will Not
"Awake" Until "Forever"

WWWW & How
Love is...
Love is what?
Love is that funny feeling you have
Love is that funny feeling you have
When you discover something new.
Love is...
Love is who?
Love is those funny people that you know
Who are there for you no matter what.
Love is...
Love is when?
Love is those funny moments when you smile
When you realize the best things in life are free.
Love is...
Love is where?
Love is those funny places that magical moments happen
Where you go by them and they make you smile.
Love is...
Love is why?
Love is those funny moments that make you step back
When you know that you wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

Unexplainable::Unexcusable
Please forward this to every one you know. I hope I get this forwarded back to me by 100 people. We need a 28th Amendment along these lines.
Unexplainable, Inexcusable
No one has been able to explain to me why young men and women serve in the U.S. Military for 20 years, risking their lives protecting freedom, and only get 50% of their pay. While Politicians hold their political positions in the safe confines of the capital, protected by these same men and women, and receive full pay retirement after serving one term. It just does not make any sense.
Monday on Fox news they learned that the staffers of Congress family members are exempt from having to pay back student loans. This will get national attention if other news networks will broadcast it. When you add this to the below, just where will all of it stop?
35 States file lawsuit against the Federal Government
Governors of 35 states have filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon them. It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention.
This will take less than thirty seconds to read. If you agree, please pass it on.
This is an idea that we should address.
For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinary citizens must live under those laws. The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform... in all of its forms. Somehow, that doesn't seem logical. We do not have an elite that is above the law. I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever. The self-serving must stop.
If each person that receives this will forward it on to 20 people, in three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message.. This is one proposal that really should be passed around.
Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution: "Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States."

International Picture of the Year
Here are three very touching photos honored this
year.
First
Place
:
First Place
Todd Heisler, The Rocky Mountain News
When 2nd Lt. James Cathey's body arrived at the Reno Airport , Marines climbed into the cargo hold of the plane and draped the flag over his casket as passengers watched the family gather on the tarmac. During the arrival of another Marine's casket last year at Denver International Airport , Major Steve Beck described the scene as so powerful: 'See the people in the windows? They sat right there in the plane, watching those Marines. You gotta wonder what's going through their minds, knowing that they're on the plane that brought him home,' he said. 'They will remember being on that plane for the rest of their lives. They're going to remember bringing that Marine home. And they should.'
Second Place
Second Place
Todd Heisler, The Rocky Mountain News
The night before the burial of her husband's body, Katherine Cathey refused to leave the casket, asking to sleep next to his body for the last time. The Marines made a bed for her, tucking in the sheets below the flag. Before she fell asleep, she opened her laptop computer and played songs that reminded her of 'Cat,' and one of the Marines asked if she wanted them to continue standing watch as she slept. 'I think it would be kind of nice if you kept doing it,' she said. 'I think that's what he would have wanted'.
And the one that really tightens MY throat:
3rd Place – “Son, a grateful Nation……..”
PLEASE KEEP THIS GOING!
Blue Fridays.
Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing blue every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the 'silent majority.' We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers. We are not organized, boisterous or overbearing.
Many Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of America supports our troops. Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday -- and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that every red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar, will wear something blue. By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States on every Friday a sea of blue much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers. If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, coworkers, friends, and family, it will not be long before the USA is covered in BLUE and it will let our troops know the once 'silent' majority is on their side more than ever. The first thing a soldier says when asked 'What can we do to make things better for you?' is: 'We need your support and your prayers.' Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example, and wear something blue every Friday.
IF YOU AGREE -- THEN SEND THIS ON. IF YOU COULDN'T CARE LESS -- THEN HIT THE DELETE BUTTON.
Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
1. Jesus Christ
2. The American G. I.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON, AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET BOTH OF THEM.

Teaching [5]
I wore this new outfit the other day student teaching, and wouldn't you know it, it matched my yellow rubberducky earrings. Awesome right? I bought this at Old Navy, well most of it anyways. I bought the purple shirt, the purple tank top underneath, and the white sweater and Old Navy for $25 altogher I believe. If you think about it, I'm going to wear each item once a month while it's warm at different occasions (I.e. Student Teaching, Church, Interview, out on the town...)
The black pants I've realized are a STAPLE in your closet, as is two black skirts, black heels and flats, a black sweater and large black panties to keep your tights from bunching.
Oh right, the panties... Here's a secret I picked up from working on stage: There is a company that sells rather large black panties that fit right over your regular panties and your tights. On state this is to prevent anyone looking up your skirt when you're on stage. I've used them multiple other times when I've worn a skirt such as if it's breazy out and I don't want to take any chances. I've also found that if you're in a pinch, the bottom half of a set of black bikini will do too.
Have fun!

A Triple Take Night
Half a dozen more kisses and I’d be spending the night in Heaven
More than you’ve ever given me before, and perhaps ever will
I didn’t think of you tonight when I lay upon the love seat
And perhaps this night was for the better for both of us
To be honest I needed to warm up, and find out who you are
I’ve learned now that each day is a gift, and an unseen smile from you
Which is relief, because, I don’t want to know who you are anymore
And perhaps this night was better for the both of us
It’s who we are, first friends, introduced by a friend
Small introduction, but it can never quite be repaid
She knows as much as I know and that’s all that needs to be said
And perhaps this night was better for the both of us
You are warm, and comforting, I could be with you longer than a day
I miss you, you laugh, your smile and your tight embrace
We are from different puzzle pieces, you and I, and that is not what is nice
And perhaps this night was better for the both of us
Give me a reason now, to not appreciate what you give
Your help, your voice; your presence is always enough
It’s not enough to be supernatural or an unoriginal fiend
And perhaps this night was better for the both of us
I fall asleep happily when being with you this night
Don’t we know that I have done it many times before?
To not dream of you is more than I can ask for
And perhaps this night was better for the both of us
Tell me again how you enjoyed being with me tonight
How you can stay up all night just talking to me
Instead of leaving me for hours wondering and crying
And perhaps these nights are better for the both of us
