"but the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. against such things there is no law."

faded, faded fast
life flashed through in picture frames
and i have loaded and spun
the barrel of this gun again
you see we forget
and all the reasons we believe
are caught and crucified
on the cross of complexities
waiting, listening
say goodbye to analogies
when a word of love
will bridge from you to free
[bridge]
i'm in the midst of
all the lessons i have learned
and none are obvious or rehearsed
[chorus]
oh my God
i can't believe
you've got me running now
i'm desperate for you
an old friend made it
living high with family
kids to school, mums at home
he'll be home at six for tea
i'm with renting tenants
old microwave, one couch for three
a cause for question now
free to air, or pay tv?

'Sometimes you look at me and it's like all the bullshit gets stripped off and I'm left with what's underneath and I kind of like what I see. Someone who actually fails. Someone who has absolutely no self-control. Someone who says real dickhead things like "this is complicated" . I like that part of me, you know. I like the fact that I know I can't control you or how I feel about you and that doesn't freak me out'
- Will Trombal, Melina Marchetta's Saving Francesca
He's cool... uh-huh... except for the fact that he kisses Francesca when he has a girlfriend.. that's not cool... and it helps that his name is almost the same as Mr Darcy's... oooh ooh... and i took this quiz thing on p&p on sparknotes.com and I GOT FULL MARKS!!!! that's right! |

I just want to praise You,
Lift my hands and say, "I love You."
You are everything to me
And I exalt Your holy name,
I exalt Your holy name,
I exalt Your holy name on high.

Uncle Jimmy made me sing a solo of this... :| well... practically... being the only girl with a microphone... :| :|
yes, ling... I UPDATED! it's a crappy update but, as dan says, smile and nod
debating with self on whether to stay being mum or not... i don't actually look after you guys, or anything, all i do is order you around... that's not mum-like... that's just... lil dan-like
gaaah... don't like thinking... screws with my brain.. and then i get creepy dreams.. .and it's all very BAD... |

"Your throne is God's throne,
ever and always;
The scepter of your royal rule
measures right living.
You love the right
and hate the wrong.
And that is why God, your very own God,
poured fragrant oil on your head,
Marking you out as king
from among your dear companions."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
My heart is full of admiration
for you, my Lord, my God and King;
your excellence, my inspiration,
your words of grace have made my spirit sing.
You love what's right and hate all evil;
therefore your God sets you on high;
and on your head pours oil of gladness,
while fragrance fills your royal palaces.
All the glory, honour and power belong to you, belong to you;
Jesus, Saviour, anointed One, I worship you, I worship you
Your throne, O God, will last forever;
justice will be your royal decree:
in majesty, ride out victorious
for righteousness, truth and humility. |

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
This is all happening for a reason, I think... And so I'm gonna lean wholly on Jesus, or try to with all the help I can get. |

him whistling with his whistle and the security guys coming to check it out (whoops)
dot dropping her candles and breaking the glass and scabbing my candle holder to put it in so i get a crappy plastic soya sauce container
late night shopping with the remainder of the family, being able to hear daniel from the other side of coles :|
dot taking forever to choose a face wash |

I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
i wonder what would happen if you did what that socrates (or as cheuk calls it, s-crates) sign tells you to do? "Love like you've never been hurt before" Would you get hurt again and again or would everything just turn out fine? And yet, i'm not listening, building those walls that have been coming up ever since forever, finding out my weaknesses and protecting against them. And i don't want to... i don't want to watch my back... i don't want to worry, to analyse every stoopid little thing, to be so wary that i can only ever be free at school and with my kids. |

shopping today...
went to atm and found that Dad put in the whole of last term's allowance AND babysitting money AND whatever he was supposed to give me into my account again instead of subtracting what he'd already put in before from the amount Mum gave him... and i can't keep the money!!! ah well.. it was fun while it lasted... being rich, that is... :|
mars lite cheap at woolworths so got two bars... then remembered belatedly that nay can't eat mars... [you can't, right?] so that bar's for me *grins*
kate beckinsale's stalking me!!! :P first serendipity, then pearl harbour, then much ado about nothing... :| geez...
trudy forced me to read this article about ashton kutcher :| HE'S STILL STOOPID, TRUD!! :P
daniel calls chips 'ships'... it's actually quite funny :P...
dan: hey flinders! flinders is my dog... flinders, come here, flinders. flinders, you can walk...
dot: run away and call him
dan: ok! *runs away, turns around, trips*
hey... dan reminds me of nay! :P kidding, darl...

Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next?
What happens next?
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before
Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself
Lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened before |

i'm not hanging on your every word
i'm thriving on my self-sufficiency
i'm not listening to the things I've heard
about me and you
people think there must be something to the way
i talk about you every chance I get
but if I think about you night and day
doesn't mean I'm ready yet
maybe I am knee-deep in denial
or maybe I'm just trying to move on
maybe I should keep away awhile
but if distance is right I'd rather be wrong
[chorus]
'cos I love the way you're smiling at me
when you know it's true
i'm still in love with you
and I love the way you're really trying
not to let me see
you're still in love with me too
i am way too proud to verbalise my feelings
and you are way too mean if you just let this brew
it's a complicated hand that you've been dealing
time to win me over: fold and make your move
smooth some calm over this situation
i can't get past the way I feel for you
it's the little things that make this worth the effort
it's the small, little, insignificant things you do
that make me love the way you're glancing, hoping
when you know it's true
i'm still in love with you
and I love that I'm barely coping
when you let me see
you're still in love with me to
in love, still in love with
in love, still in love with
in love, still in love with you

| ~*~ "je t'aime" |
Tu crois que la terre t'appartient toute entière
Pour toi ce n'est qu'un tapis de poussière
Moi je sais que la terre, l'oiseau et les fleurs
Ont une vie, ont un esprit et un coeur
Pour toi l'étranger ne porte le nom d'homme
Que s'il te ressemble et pense à ta façon
Mais en marchant dans ses pas, tu te questionnes
Est-tu sûr au fond de toi d'avoir raison
Comprends-tu le chant d'espoir du loup qui meurt d'amour
Les pleurs du chat savage au petit jour
Entends-tu chanter les esprits de la montagnes
Peux-tu peindre en mille couleurs l'air du vent
Peut-tu peindre en mille couleurs l'air du vent
Courons dans les forêts d'or et de lumière
Partageons nous les fruits mûrs de la vie
La terre nous offre ses trésors ses mystères
Le bonheur ici-bas n'as pas de prix
Je suis fille torrents, soeur des rivières
La loutre et le héron sont mes amis
Et nous tournons tous ensemble au fil des jours
En un cercle, une ronde à l'infini
Là-haut le sicamore dort
Comme l'aigle royal
Il trône imperial
Les créatures de la nature ont besoin d'air pur
Et qu'importe la couleur de la peau
Nous chantons tous ensemble les chansons de la montagne
En rêvant de pouvoir peindre l'air du vent
Mais la terre n'est que poussière
Tant que l'homme ignore comment
Il peut peindre
En mille couleurs l'air du vent
*************************************************
If there's a prize for rotten judgment,
I guess I've already won that.
No man is worth the aggravation -
That's ancient history, been there, done that!
Who'd'ya think you're kiddin',
He's the Earth and heaven to you.
Try to keep it hidden,
Honey, we can see right through you.
Girl, you can't conceal it,
we know how ya' feel and who you're thinking of.
No chance, no way, I won't say it, no, no.
You swoon, you sigh, why deny it, uh, oh!
It's too cliche, I wont say I'm in love!
I thought my heart had learned its lesson...
It feels so good when you start out!
My head is screaming "Get a grip, girl!
Unless you're dying to cry your eyes out!" Oh...
You keep on denying who you are and how you're feeling.
Baby, we're not buying, Hon, we saw ya' hit the ceiling!
Face it like a grown up - When 'ya gonna own up
That ya' got, got, got it bad!
No chance. no way, I won't say it no, no.
Give up give in, check the grin - you're in love!
This scene won't play, I won't say I'm in love...
You're doin' flips, read our lips, You're in love!
You're way off base! I won't say it!
Get off my case! I won't say it!
Girl, don't be proud, it's O.K. you're in love.
Oh... At least out loud... I won't say I'm in love!
C'est une de mes chansons favourites. Lx, Dan, Nay, vous la savez, n'est-ce pas? |

Mum’s watching Pearl Harbour again… So sad… *bursts into tears* poor girl… so confused… just like me and yet, more confused than me… *sigh* and then he died… “life never asked me what I wanted” “I love YOU, Danny” :( :( :( :(
*sigh* trying to think of what to write for the creative writing task… trying to create the same effect the movie makes with words… trying to think… trying to write it like a chapter in a novel. WHAT DO I DO??? How do I do it? i think i can, i think i can, i think i can…
“top secret is where you get medals… and they send it to your family”
confused-ness over… mostly… thanks to nutrigrain day, the impromptu one on good friday. :) can’t wait til holidays… will have good time AND do some study/assignments etc. catch up with stuff… got a test on the last day of term… can you believe that??!! gaaahh…
**************************************************
Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you...
And the way you look tonight.
Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.
With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart...
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.
Lovely ... Never, ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it ?
'Cause I love you ... Just the way you look tonight.
Mm, Mm, Mm, Mm,
Just the way you look to-night. |

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, in your name I will lift up my hands
