Just rocked out to this song the other day...
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
So here's to Bryan, my anytime friend; the kid who held my hand when my heart was broken; the kid who cried on my shoulder when things got rough; the best brother a girl could ever ask for!

Twisted Minds
The following conversation occurred via text message over the course of this past weekend and I thought it would be a wonderful thing to share... Teri and I have twisted minds and when I am not feeling well or upset, I can be quite uncensored.
K: Why do little girls like Tinker Bell? She's a jealous little bitch who gives away Peter's hideout... haha
T: Well that is cheerful
K: No, really, why isn't she considered one of the bad guys?
T: Because she is Tinker Bell ((Sound logic, Toons))
K: Haha OK I guess. I was going to call you last night but I forget what about
T: Well if you remember then you can call later ((such a sweet sister! Please note, I probably couldn't call then because she has many biker buddies and was quite possibly busy entertaining them. This probably her reason for lack of response to the next couple of texts.))
K: I am dropping out of school. I all ready have a degree I don't need a second one. But you have to keep going cause you don't have one yet.
K: Robin Hood is kind of mean, too. He calls Little John fat. That's kind of mean.
K: We are teaching kids terrible things with Disney movies
T: ((FINALLY)) What? Not to be fat?
K: To call our friends fat and steal from rich people just cause they have more than us. And to give up our best friends' secret hiding places.
K: And now Robin Hood called Little John dumb. Great lesson for kids!
T: True though
K: You are terrible. Terrible Teri.
T: I think you are digging a little too deep. It is a kids movie. Feeling a little bitter today, are we?
K: Yes.
T: Well probably also true
T: Somehow I can live with that
...
K: Can you please move to NH? I liked it better when we lived near each other and can take care of each other when we are sick.
T: Are you sick?
K: I am sick. This is a bitch. Like Tinkerbell...haha
T: I like Tinker Bell, bitch or not.
K: I have decided that Peter Pan is a man whore.
T: Come to think of it, peter is a bit of a man whore. Tinker Bell, Wendy, and indian princess girl. He is busy, isn't he?
K: And the mermaids! He's a complete man whore!
T: Oh yeah! I forgot about the mermaids. And there are several of them.
K: Exactly! And the runway scene from Rescuers has a naked woman in the background. I am never letting my kids watch Disney movies.
T: Oh goody! That means when you send them to my house they will get to watch things like Black Hawk Down. That is the only kind of movie I really have other than Disney. And Lord of the Rings ((Can I interject and say WHAT A NERD?!))
K: That is it! My kids are going to be the weird kids whose parents never let them watch TV at all. Gram grew up with out TV and she turned out all right. haha
T: That is a matter of opinion. They can be book lovers like me.
K: That is a good plan! It's decided!
This is why we got unlimited text messaging: so B and T and I could have stupid conversations like this!
P.S. I just want to be clear. My kids are not going to be weird like the home school kids in the beginning of Mean Girls who think God invented the shot gun to hunt TRex and Gay ppl. They're just going to not be allowed to watch a ton of TV.

Old People Playground
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100210/ap_on_he_me/eu_britain_over60s_playground
What a neat idea! I bet it would make a great Thesis/Project topic... too bad I like 18 year olds better than old people.

Harry Potter Linguistics
I am a huge fan of J.K. Rowling and the Harry Potter Series... what's not to love? Of all the things that makes the series great, I LOVE all the wordplay Rowling uses. My first post talked about the origin of Ludo Bagman, a character from the fourth book. Today I learned another word origin.
In the fourth book, a school (called Durmstrang) enters the story line. "Strang" and "Durm" are German words for storm and stress... normally used to describe a period of adolescence. It fits the grouchy, surly students from the school perfectly!
For your pondering, the newest HP Movie preview... it comes out soon!
Stay tuned for more HP love :)

Updated NH TDL
We're 15 days into 2010 and I am 4 days away from heading back to NH. I think it's time for an update on the NH TDL. Suggestions are welcomed.
My NHTDL:
- Boston (I haven't seen the Make Way for Duckling ducks yet!)
- See some light houses
- Visit Canada (I need to get my passport first)
- Go sledding
- Go mountain biking
- Visit NY (I might have to make a few trips but I want to see the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island, Macy's/the square, Central Park, the Met, the MOMA, see something on Broadway, Ground Zero, Times Square, Grand Central Station, and Eloise's portrait at The Plaza)
- Go skiing
- Build a snowman
- Get my Master's Degree
- Do the Cliff Walk in Ogunquit
- Ride the train somewhere
- Visit D.C. (I know its kind of far but really, it's no longer than the drive from Dallas to San Antonia which I've done several times. As long as I make it a weekend trip, it's totally worth it!) I want to go on the White House Tour and see all the history/political stuff but I also want to go to the United States Botanical Garden.
- Visit the Flume Gorge State Park (Suggestion from my Grandmother's BFF)
Cool things I've all ready done since moving to NH:
- Ate Lobster ((YUM!)) and Sword Fish and Scallops wrapped in Bacon
- Went to the beach in Maine (Its been years since I've played in the Atlantic Ocean!)
- Visited the Nubble Light House
- Kayaked and played at the lake
- Went Ice Skating
- Visited an Irish pub with authentic live music
- Competed in a Trivia Challenge at a bar
- Played Ice Hockey
- Visited the Children's Science Museum in Manchester
- Played Wheel Chair Rugby (It was a fantastic workout!)
- Tried Caviar ((YUK!))
- Ate some awesome Greek food (Falafel and Lamb)
- Heard some work friends play in a Bagpipe band
- Went to the Hampton Beach Seafood Festival (We watched a Sand Sculpture Artist work and skydivers, ate a ton of delicious seafood and did some Christmas shopping)
- Joined a broomball team (Intramural Champs? Not so much but we tried!)
- Saw the Red Sox play at Fenway
- Visited Boston (Fanuil Hall, Fenway, Freedom Trail, the Cheers Bar, Italian desssert... let's see what else I can discover!)
- Played in Snow
- Visited dirty Jersey and the Cape May Light House. Went to the Ugly Mug and scouted out men for my grandmother (a self-proclaimed sugar momma) and me of Philly my Aunt and Uncle had never been to (The Magic Garden) and presented at the Region 1 Conference.
-Got slated for NIRSA's NTNL Student Leader (let's see how the vote goes this month!)
- Visited Philly and got Cheese Steak Sandwiches. Found a part of the city that my Great Uncle and Aunt had never been to.
Some of these I've all ready done before but not very often. Their novelty made them acceptable additions to the list
