i could feel it in my bones
when i was told
we were going for a ride
down woodland drive

i almost fell asleep
watching the rows of trees
until we ran out of lines
on woodland drive

i wish this would never end
just keep going round the bend
keep this memory alive
down on woodland drive

i will always remember
waiting forever
by your chevy that died
on woodland drive

i'll never forget
the road was so wet
you were the love of my life
but i lost you on woodland drive

quote me.



While I was writing my little grad thing for the yearbook, I found some really stellar quotes. Here are a few of my favourites...

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life from what we give. {Winston Churchill}

Laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live. {Anonymous}

It's
easy to make a buck, but it’s a lot tougher to make a difference. {Tom Brokaw}

Life isn’t measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. {Anonymous}

There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because his conscience tells him it is right... {Martin Luther}

bee yourself.


Halloween is the one day of the year that you are allowed to be someone that you're not. Or maybe it's the one day of the year when you are allowed to be yourself without others judging you. Either way, it's a great excuse for a party.

"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation." _Oscar Wilde, De Profundis, 1905

True true.

"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth." _Oscar Wilde

But my favourite of all.

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." _Dr. Seuss

high school.

Oh the drama, oh the parties, oh the hype! It sounds fun, at times, but then again it also sounds kind of exhausting. haha. So good to see J & K & N again, and to be a part of it all again, just for a minute. But I'll never be able to reminisce about the grad prank we pulled, or the ultimate sweet sixteen that so and so threw, or the time we got that clueless Social Studies substitute teacher. Oh well. There are more exciting things in life, like traveling the world and working at the food bank and graduating early!

I saw HSM 3 on Friday. AHAHAH. But it was actually pretty good, maybe even better than the first = O !!! I also saw FIREPROOF! It was amazing, even though it was really cheesy. It was refreshing to see a movie that actually had meaning, plot, conflict, and importance. I really liked it. How could I not, especially with Kirk Cameron in it!?
