Look outside, it's already light and the stars ran away with the night
Things were said, words that we'll try forget, it's so hard to admit

I know we've made mistakes
I see through all the tears
but that's what got us here

If love is an ocean wide, we'll swim in the tears we cry
They'll see us through to the other side
We're gonna make it.
When love is a raging sea, you can hold on to me
We'll find a way tonight...
Love is an ocean wide

I'll stay right here, it's where I'll always belong, tied with your arms
Days like this, I wish the sun wouldn't set
I don't want to forget.
What made us feel this way?
You see through all my fears
And that's what got us here...

Love is an ocean wide enough to forget
Even when we think we can't, think we can’t...

If love is an ocean wide, we'll swim in the tears we cry
They'll see us through to the other side
We're gonna make it.
When love is a raging sea, you can hold on to me
We'll find a way tonight...
Love is an ocean wide.

Ocean Wide||The Afters

well-done Taiwanese movie about musicians played by REAL musicians in their own right, thrown in with a couple of time-twists and a huge fantastical mind-blowing musical magic elements....

O________o + -.-

Life is a lot easier when you are not absorbed in yourself.

So today I was called upon for babysitter duty for the neighbor boys who I have not seen in several years. They are so tall now...and getting up there in age. I really don't know why I was there, it seemed rather unnecessary... They both said they already ate and practiced...both of which I was instructed to make sure they did while I was there. It's been so long that they have gotten shy, the older one in that awkward stage of coming-of-age. They just quietly sat and read, actually, and I read, too, in the adjacent room. Haha it was really weird...I guess I'm not too much of a hand at babysitting (I wish I were), and I had to text a friend to ask what I should do with them. Hopefully things will warm up a bit. I usually get along with boys, but these are quiet and reserved, and I am invading their house, in a sense. =P I am having trouble finding things to talk about. Any ideas? I need lots of them, as conversations tend to die quickly.

I remember how they used to come over and play and we'd tell them Bible stories...and I especially remember our awesome HOUSE we made out of the couch cushions in the basement......

I've been remembering quite a bit from past years, it seems. Yesterday I had lunch with my childhood playmate whom I hadn't seen in a looong time. I'm not sure what happened; I think after I started homeschooling I got weird. Haha. And I think in the last three years I've tried to blur out some of those strange awkward days as much as possible, and in so doing lost a few precious childhood memories from elementary school. But it was awesome to see her again. We reminisced a bit on the awesome things we used to do...like that madd lego house with the elevator, the trampoline with the imaginary dog, our "bike shop" in the driveway, our American Girl dolls... Oh I miss being a kid. We had some absofreakinglutely incredible times (to borrow a term from Jeh). !!

I've been swamped with reading; I want to read so much more than I can. =(
Currently in the midst of trying to figure out some of my goals for the next few months I'm still here. I feel like so much could be done, but how to do it?? I took a shot in the dark on Monday on a leap of faith, if you will, because I really didn't think about what I was getting myself into. I don't think I would have done anything if I had. Now tomorrow I am looking at the beginning of something, but it is spiderwebby and vague. "If you aim at nothing, that's what you'll get" goes the quote. So...I guess I should figure out what I'm aiming at, and how to better get there ...... ?



anyway I think the chiropractor is helping. It's nice to get your back cracked once in a while.
