Can Anybody Find Me Somebody To Love?

"I would do it! I would kiss a frog! I would kiss a hundred frogs if I could marry a prince a be a princess!"

This World Could Be Ugly, But Isn't It Beautiful?

"I did it.
I survived Christmas 1, part A and B.
Who would've thought?
I have a few people when we get back to school to really thank for that.
And one big guy way up there to thank, too.

Merry Christmas everyone."

So Don't Be Afraid

"I have seen quite a few Christmas miracles this season,

which is quite surprising since I wasn't expecting that

At all.

Maybe Christmas won't be a huge flop this year."

True Colors Are Beautiful.

"You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And darkness there inside you
Make you feel so small.

Sometimes I wish I lived in Glee land.

Then I would be an amazing singer.

And also I would know where I fit in.

Plus, Sue is just too hilarious."

I'll Be Home For Christmas, If Only In My Dreams.

"Since when have I not been excited for Christmas?

Oh, right,

When my parents decided to split and ruin the holidays for my family.

Merry Christmas, everyone."

This Feeling In My Bones

"There once was a time when I was so sure on what I wanted to do with my life.

I don't know why I have changed my mind all of a sudden.

It is scaring me a lot, mostly because I need to get out of this town.

I know I am ready to move on, but I have to figure out

where."

Do You Miss My All Time Lows?

"It's funny how I miss you all.

I used to talk

And share.

My blog was a place for what I was feeling

How I was feeling.

Now it is just a place for me to leave criptic clues

As to what's going on in my life.

When did I become that?

I wish it was this easy."

I've Been Flyin' In The Skies.

"I wonder where all my morals went?
Because they definitely weren't around last night."

Maybe We'll Find Something Better

"Deseo que fuera más creador"

What Did You See In Me?

Talk Like An Open Book

"Everything lately has been good enough"

We’re All Wasted

"That safety mask that goes up on defence is a funny thing.
It seems to help me but I don't think it does."

All You Did Was Save My Life.

"Maybe it's about knowing when to start.

When to start letting people in,

When to start forgiving,

and forgetting.

When to start getting my act together,

and when to start trusting again.

Maybe, though, the problem is stopping.

Stop caring what happened in the past.

Stop being so judgemental,

and so needy.

Stop depending on the unreliable,

and stop being hard on others.

You Could Turn All The Lights Off And Show You The Real Me.

It's Just A Feeling And No One Knows Yet

"Costa Rica, here I come!"

I Have Dreams Of Orca Whales And Owls

You're A Model Of Freedom.

"You inspired me and helped me this weekend.

Thank you.

Even without the masks, I think you are stunning."

You Can Take This However You Want.

"You're justified
But there's no justice if it's just a lie
No, go and find yourself
You will if you look inside."

Cheap Words Falling Out Of Your Teeth

"I am tired of change."

Wait For Something Better (You've Got To Be Stronger)

I Love Books And I Love The Office.

"A Reflection on Blue

Blue is the color of my
Mums nail polish today
For a party trick
She said.
Blue is the sea
But not always
It’s only the reflection of the sky
And the refraction of blue light
From the sun which is a
White ball of light containing each of the colors
Some of which
Are absorbed, including the color red
And also the sea contains particles of dirt and
Plants and animals, dead and alive,
Which make it look a bit
Blue.
Blue is the Blue Mountains
Which my brother,
Anthony,
Can see from
His window
If he stands on his drum kit.
Blue is the way my friend
Toby
Sometimes feels
Because
Other kids
Call
Him
Fat
Even though he's not
Really, not very,
And I said
"Toby,
You're not
that fat, you're
Just
A
Little
Bit
Plump"
And I
Bought him
A blue
Chupa Chup.
To cheer
Him up.
Blue is the name of my Auntie's Veronica's dog:
Blue.
Blue likes it
If you throw him an ice cube
He crunches it
He likes to fetch
A blue rubber ball
But he won’t give it back
He offers it to you
And you try to pull it out of his mouth
And he holds it with his teeth!
But blue got sick
And he threw up a bit
On the laundry floor
And the vet said,
"There’s nothing we can do
For blue"
And he died,
Just yesterday,
And this
Poem
Is a
Special Gift for
Auntie Veronica
In memory of her dog:
Blue.

-Bindy Mackenzie

Did I Make It That Easy?

We'll Always Be Fair-Weather Friends

"(...) humans evolved hairless in order to sweat and stay cool while
outrunning some hot and exhausted form of furry animal protein. Men
with less body hair are also less likely to harbor lice, fleas, and
mites.

This is from the book Diary by Chuck Palahniuk. It reminds
me of a certain boy. And I thought it would make him feel better about being
hairless."

The Kind Of Guy I'd Like To Meet.

"This is my kind of man"

You Look Like The Kind Of Person Instigating Bad-Behaving When We're Hanging Around

"Won't you give it to me?"

It's Been A Long Time Since Before I've Been Touched.

"Now I'm getting touched all the time.

You rock girly.

I love you."

"That's my kind of cat."

All You Did Was Save My Life

"This is the last time
That I will say these words
I remember the first time
The first of many lies
Sweep it into the corner
Or hide it under the bed
Say these things they go away
But they never do.

I promise.

This is the last time

You'll have to hear about this.

I've got nothing to be upset about anymore.

On a side note,

Two of my friends got me little gifts this week

and they were very sweet!

Thanks so much, it really brightened my days!"

One Disaster Less

"A few things I have discovered,

As early as today, as long ago as a year ago.

1. You're sort of a prick.

2. I hate everything about high school.

3. I have some fantastic friends.

4. And I've had some shit ones.

5. I actually like flare pants.

6. And real guys who aren't secretly girls.

7. I like drinking.

8. And I also love God. So much.

9. I think I know what I want to do with my life.

10. And the first one is to get the hell out of here."

A humorous picture for your enjoyment."

Just Move 'Em To The Side, Side, Side.

"I love you.

This picture reminds me of us.

Only I'm obviously the kitty on the right."

I'm Running, And I'm Sorry If I Can't Stay In One Place

"Six months.

A lot can happen and a lot can change.

Six months can change

your living situations,

your friends,

your appearance,

your attitude.

Six months.

It isn't that long

for a whole lot of change."

All The Roads We Have To Walk Are Winding

"Oh, wouldn't it be nice
To never be alone in this wasted life?

The new school year starts in about a week.

And I can't wait for it to start

Because the sooner it starts,

The sooner it ends.

There are lots of things I am unsure about

Starting this new year.

Some things I am sure of, though

Is who who this year will include

And who it won't.

This is it.

The last year of this hell hole.

And I couldn't be more excited."

Now We're Back To The Beginning

"Broken phone, broken toes, broken heart.

Just when I thought

I could handle things again,

it all falls apart.

I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye.

I guess I have been here waiting

for you the whole time.

Maybe I need to just do something

to make it happen."

You Thought By Now They'd See That You Have Come So Far

"Just Because Everything's Changing, Doesn't Mean It's Never Been This Way Before.

All You Can Do Is Try To Know Who Your Friends Are

When You Go Off To The War."

You Thought By Now You'd Be So Much Better Than You Are

"You turned out to be kind of shitty.

F.Y.I. there is more than one 'you' involved in this
rather bold statement."

The Consequence Of Sound.

"I love Regina Spektor, even if this is the lamest video ever."

I Like Boys Who Like Their Mothers.

"Boys like you."

If You Let Your Feelings Go, Dear, It's Scary What You'll Find.

"I wonder who I am.
I know who I have been before,
I know who I never want to be again,
and I know what I never will be.
So I guess that's a start.

Thinking about you puts a smile on my face

instantly.

Thanks for always looking out for me.

I can't get enough of you.

Nicole is back in 8 days.

I have missed her like mad.

I am taking your advice,

I'm not going to take my friends for granted anymore.

Maybe it is time for hope."

You Are So Sweet

"So I was at this church yesterday, and I went into a bathroom stall and there was this little note on the door that read

Smile, you are beautiful!

On the bottom of the note was a website, http://www.operationbeautiful.com/ and I suggest you all go check it out. It was something that really just brightened up my day.

I have been having an amazing summer, with my wonderous friends!

I can't wait until Nicole gets back, 13 days!"

Daisy, Let It Go

"Let it go,
Daisy let it go,
Open your fists
This fallen world,
Doesn't hold your interest,
Doesn't doesn't hold your soul,
Daisy let it go.

In time it will happen."

It's Funny How Life Is Seldom What You Plan.

"Ten Goals of Summer 09:

10. Get my learners.

9. Consider getting some sort of job.

8. Totally decorate my room at my dad's house.

7. Have a Quentin Tarantino party.

6. Have an amazing time at grad.

5. Get my perm.

4. Go to camp and further my relationship with God.

3. Look into post secondary options.

2. Get baptised.

1. Reconnect with the people who love me,

and move on from the people who don't."

Wait For Something Better

"You've got to be stronger than the story.

It is time I focus on the people who care about me and who need me in my life like how I need them. I am going to start building up relationships I need, and tearing down the ones I don't. I am almost done grade 11, and I am going to make this summer one of finding friends who should be a part of my life. Grade 12 will be different, that I am sure of."

We Are A Beautiful Letdown, Painfully Uncool.

"It was a beautiful letdown
When I crashed and burned
When I found myself alone, unknown and hurt
It was a beautiful letdown
The day I knew
That all the riches this world had to offer me
Would never do

In a world full of bitter pain and bitter doubt
I was trying so hard to fit in, fit in
Until I found out
That I don't belong here (I don't belong)
I don't belong here (I don't belong)
I will carry a cross and a song
Where I don't belong, I don't belong

I don't belong here. I don't fit in,

and I need to find my place.

No more trying, I know where I fit

in is where I am meant to stay."

Straight To The Valley Of The Great Divide

"Out where the dreams are high
Out where the wind don't blow
Out here the good girls die
And the sky won't snow
Out here the bird don't sing
Out here the field don't grow
Out here the bell don't ring
Out here the bell don't ring

Out here the good girls die."

Lets Go Down Together

"Wednesday, May 6 - Libra
You have drawn back strongly from an investment or large purchase, because you are not sure of the source of your information, or even if this is the right thing for you. What you need is advice from someone older, wiser and more experienced.

Wednesday, May 6 - Scorpio
If you are single, you may risk romantic rejection today. If you are with a partner, one or the other is going to teach a lesson about acceptance, trust and emotional healing. Remember, you are who you are now, not who you were as a young and gawky pre-teenager.

Maybe tomorrow I should just stay in bed."

You Can Fall For Pretty Strangers, And The Promises They Hold

"{Juliet}

The dice was loaded from the start,
And I bet, then you exploded in my heart,
And I forget, I forget, the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong?

{Juliet}"

You Can Breathe Now

"Even though there are some bad things going down right now, I feel amazing. The weather and my friends and almost everything is great.

Almost.

I mess up a lot, it turns out.

But I know that in the end, it will all work out the way it should."

For Once In A Blue Moon, I See Everything Clear

"So thanks, for your help

You shine so bright."

I'd Never Find A Face That I Could Understand

"I look out the window

The birds are composing

Not a note is out of tune

Or out of place."

Children, Are You Learning?

"Wait for something better.

No one behind you,

Watching your shadows.

This feeling won't go.

I know it will be worth the time,

No matter what happens.

I need to feel better and good first,

Before we get too far into this.

Wait for something better.

No one behind you,

Watching your shadows.

You gotta be stronger than the story.

I know this is hard to believe,

But it will get so much better with this help.

Just keep getting out there,

You're a strong boy, and so many people love you.

And the sky is full of dreams,
But you don't know how to fly.

I don't have a simple answer.

But I know that I could answer,

Something better."

A Kiss Is Contageous

"This is because I can spell 'confusion' with a K.

What a day."

Where We've Never Felt So Small.

"No matter how much I tell myself,

I know there is something wrong.

But I'm trying to do the right thing here for me.

And if I hurt you, then I'm sorry.

Please don't think that this was easy."

I Regret Not Knowing When To Put An End To All This Maddess

"*If I don't let myself be happy now then when?
If not now when?

*Can you still feel the butterflies?
Can you still hear the last goodnight?

*I close my eyes and believe wherever you are,
you're an angel for me.

*The emotion it was, electric
And the stars, they all aligned.

*I knew I had to make my, decision
But I never made the time
No, I never made the time

*And there are twisted days that I take comfort
Cause I'm not the only one
No, I'm not the only one

*In the dark, for a while now
I can't stay, very far.

*Up until know I never had to be,

Responsible or kind to the people close to me,

But then came you.

Thank God for you.

*Well I live my life not knowing any better
But now I have no room to love another
I have no room to love another."
