This season was made for love Can't you see? You're touching my heart when you're holding my hand With every breath we share this reality is slipping away Becoming less tangible More magical Let's get out of here I know a wood that's quiet as sunshine when no one else is around And this love needs room to blossom Out of my prayers, flesh from my dreams I can keep my hopes nestled in you Take everything I am, so that I may be at peace Only you and the sylvan ones know my secrets That you're killing me softly, in this cold, delightful world Should I return the favor? Two souls meant to be united, dreaming of eternity I'll pull you close and whisper my love As the wind sings a splendid song And the dry leaves murmur of our fortune You make me happier than I could ever have imagined being With the scent of your skin, the warmth of your hug, the smile in your eyes I want more than this, but it'll come in time To lay down beside you each night; hours of pleasure and contentment Kiss me and fall into forever Or wrap your arms around me and hold me close Until no distinction can be made....
--It's already a bit long, but I don't feel it should end there.

[Link] | Holy CRAP. I was in a bad enough mood to BEGIN with! Then Ritter has to chew up Mom's blinds, knock the pizza box onto the kitchen floor and waste money, then thanks to him the large set of blinds in the living room are knocked down. ....... ::deep breath:: Ich bin nicht happy, people.

[Link] | I'm sure plenty of people out in LiveJournal World will be reminiscing about the Twin Towers falling on this day, so I won't bother adding to the number of those entries. Plus, along with the terrorist attacks, this day marks the one year anniversary of John Ritter's passing... the same day as his little daughter's birthday. The beloved actor passed away in 2003 of a dissection of his aorta. I named my dog after him only because I thought John had been very dog-like in personality - meaning that he was so friendly and eager to please others.
Well, I was looking through my aunt's tall stack of old magazines this summer, when I came across one with an article about Mr. Ritter. I want to take an excerpt from it because... I thought it was romantic in the bitter sweet sort of way.
"Amy was sorting through some of John's possessions and stumbled upon a collection of love poems that he was writing for her.
"They were hidden in his closet in a leather-bound journal.
"Amy believes that he intended to give it to her at Christmas. But finding that journal now was a miracle - just what she needed to help ease her grief."

[talking about a diet] "Between the hours of 6 AM and 6 PM, you just eat asparagus. And you can eat as much as you want. As much as you want. Then you go home.... and you just cry. As much as you want. As much as you want. You just cry.." -- Ted Alexandro
"Married couples always ask us, 'When are ya gonna get married? When are ya gonna get married? When are ya gonna get married?' '...I don't know. When are you going to DIE?

[Link] | I've completely lost my connection with Ritter. Instead of wanting me and howling at my door, he ignores me in the mornings. Instead of coming when I call his name, he runs to someone else. Instead of laying up against me, Ritter growls at me, bites me, or barks at me when I try to pet him. He appears somewhat close to everyone in the house besides me. =( It used to be the other way around.... I blame it on my job. I'm gone for eight hours of the day, so I'm not here to interact with him... Then I come home and just want to rest. I have no energy for playing. Then school's starting in a few days....
But it's not just me. Ritter nipped our neighbor with his sharp teeth twice on her leg, and I felt terrible when I heard her scream. Plus he scares the heck out of Corey's friends... meh.
Not to mention that about seventy dollars was stolen from me, my mother's best friend is dying, I can't complete my pre-calculus assignment, I'm annoyed with my complexion, I have to get used to the 24/7 rubber bands in my mouth, and worst of all... I'm in a spiritual stand-still. I just... feel so sad and lost and confused. It hurts... realizing how lost I am.
Even Chinese take-out couldn't cheer me up.* I was like a mumbling zombie for the man at our door. I'd rather stand there unhappy and in a daze than give him a straight answer about his tip. =/
But at least I got to see my uncle Brian for the first time in over a month. He said to not be a stranger - come by more often. That simple thing made me smile. I missed him and the black jaguar.

Collin Raye makes the heart feel light I want to meet him at 3 AM, and we'll just sit and talk until dawn approaches. Next we'll find a small café to eat breakfast at and let the afternoon creep upon us - spending the entire time getting to know each other better.. learning about the other's life, and asking any questions we hesitated to ask before. We'll make a wish on the first evening star, with me holding my breath and him holding my hand... And one day I'll sit by the fire as winter snow floats down, and be able to say, "You saved me." We'll never drift apart.
I hate this feeling of utter despair and such powerful love melded together. Everyone should remember that your mind doesn't call the shots. Nothing can interfere with what the heart desires. Why can't I remember that?
I have a headache... don't even know what I'm rambling about this time. -_-

[Link] | Well, this work day went by quicker than the other ones... And it was so lovely out. ^^ While half of our kids played dodge ball, I kept an eye on the dozen who preferred to play cards or volley ball.
Like I said, the weather was great. Enough heat filled the air to keep you warm, but a relaxing, persistent wind cooled you down simultaneously. And when the sun was lost behind puffs of white clouds, the atmosphere felt just perfect. Sitting under the trees, in the shade.. I wanted so badly to lay down on a towel and fall asleep. ...But I had to watch the rugrats... Some of them took a hint and relaxed in the grass, though. ::envy::
All was well this morning -- until Cameron wandered off, and I was reminded about how none of these kids LISTEN. Rawr! I yelled his name and told him to come back, but he completely ignored me. -_- And even when I caught up to him and ordered him to return to the group, the boy just wants to make excuses instead of obeying me the moment I tell him something.
Oh, and I accidentally said "shut up" to the kids twice. I don't mean it in a mean way, of course. I say such things on impulse when I want them to quiet down. Yelling "Guys, shut up!" over the mob comes more naturally than "Close your mouths, please!". I don't consider it to be a big deal, and the young ones know it's not a big deal, but they'll look for any excuse to get their mean ol' counselor in trouble. They told on me, but Michelle didn't care enough to talk to me about it. Pft.
The campers drive me up the wall. The only time my heart softens is if they get hurt and cry. (Funny thing is, I said to some kids who didn't obey me and fell off something, "I hope you get hurt next time.") Anyway, I can't stand the sight of a crying child. Even if I was yelling at them an hour before, I loose all anger if they get injured and begin to sob. And that's the only time any maternal instincts show in me... I'm dying to help a kid that's crying, hurt, or sad. Breaks my heart.
Anyway, tomorrow is the last day until the weekend... Woohoo!
I'm gonna sleep in. LATE. Mmhm.

[Link] | So... Today was my first day back at the YMCA Camp. I'll be a counselor there for the next two weeks, trying to make some money to fill the void in my bank account.
The kids this time are a lot less respectful than last year's... The highlight of my day was getting punched twice while trying to break up a fight, then smacked in the mouth with the kid's lunchbox. -_- And the entire eight hours out in the heat, on the camp grounds, I could only think about how badly I wanted to hear his voice again.... You know who.

[Link] | Rawr! Daniel! I'm worried about you, because I'm paranoid like that..! Don't tell me you'll be back in an hour and then disappear for the day. :_; Reply if you see this...

Dog 'fight' I was walking Ritter last night n' spotted Kyle with Bruster at the playground, where Corey and some other neighborhood boys were playing. I decided the dogs might want to play, too, so I walked over there. After my wolf was done sniffing around, he ran up to Bruster, then plopped down in front of him, exposing his chest. He also playfully pawed at Bruster's face. Well, Kyle's dog didn't appreciate this, and began growling lowly. But Ritter kept on following Bruster, then laying on his back in front of him. For a wolf, this is showing subservience. He was trying to get acceptance from the "alpha male." But sadly, Bruster doesn't speak wolf, and was simply get pissed at the pup blocking his way. While I tried to stop Ritter from doing his little wolf dance, the leashes got tangled, and Bruster began snapping at Ritter, who was pushed too close. Eventually we fixed this problem, but not before Corey ran over and called Kyle an A-hole for letting the dogs 'fight.' =/ I had to explain that Ritter was trying to be friendly, but Bruster didn't like it.
Meh. We're hopeless. It hasn't even been three days, and already I miss Ritter if I leave the room, and he misses me. Mom says the dog "goes crazy" when I just go to brush my teeth. Awooo. My puppy wuppy. He follows me around the house now. =P I'm gonna feel bad leaving him on Friday... and all Saturday.... And I'm being forced to work for the YMCA the rest of summer... =(
Anyways, Zak and I are having a Cowboy Bebop marathon tonight, thanks to Danny Boy! =D Rah!
--- Neighbor and me talking:
"That your puppy?" "Yep." "What is 'e?" "Just a mutt.." "A mutt with big paws, eh?" "Yeah... You noticed?" >_>

| I am the Natural Childhood is the golden paradise we are always consciously or unconsciously trying to re-create. The Natural embodies the longed-for qualities of childhood - spontaneity, sincerity, unpretentiousness. In the presence of Naturals, we feel at ease, caught up in their playful spirit, transported back to that golden age. Adopt the pose of the Natural to neutralize people's defensiveness and infect them with helpless delight. Symbol: The Lamb. So soft and endearing. At two days old the lamb can gambol gracefully; within a week it is playing "Follow the Leader." Its weakness is part of its charm. The Lamb is pure innocence, so innocent we want to possess it, even devour it. | What Type of Seducer are You? created by polite_society </p>
