It's not so much the uncertainty of what is going to happen next. It's the realization that I've been under the impression that I live something of a "charmed" life. Whenever something bad would happen to me, something equally as good would always happen at/around the same time. <br /><br />I've become used to this and so whenever something bad happens I just sit back and wait for that something good to come along. The more I think about it the more I realize that if I would have taken an active role in my life then those "something bads" might have never happened. Instead of living my life I've been allowing "fate" or "God" or whatever to direct the flow of my life.<br /><br />One would think that I would've come to this realization after my brother died. But I admit to thinking, "Ok, this is bad so something is going to make up for it", when in reality there is nothing that could make up for the loss of my brother. <br /><br />Granted, there are some things that I can't control - like the death of my brother or my husband's actions. But there have been plenty of other things that I could've done in other situations that maybe I wouldn't be where I am today. Pearl Jam put it best - "Saw things so much clearer, once you were in my rearview mirror".<br /><br />But the question is after 29 years of living, how do I do it differently? urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:cementkitten:19443 2006-06-26T02:01:37Z 2006-06-26T02:01:37Z Faith No More I've been looking through LJ and Myspace to see if I can find any graduates of my highschool class and attendees from the few years I spent at Herron. I don't really know why I'm looking for these people - there isn't anyone in particular that I'm looking up. I'm just curious to see where these people are at in their lives and how they compare to mine. <br /><br />My 10 year highschool reunion was last year and I didn't have any desire to attend and now I wish I had. I've actually signed up at classmates.com to see if there is anyone that I recognize. My highschool was so big and I was so unpopular that I didn't know very many people. <br /><br />I've been feeling oddly nostalgic for a few months now. My best friend BB moved out to Cali a few years ago and she is coming home for a visit on Friday. We always talk about the old times working at Meijer and hanging out in Broad Ripple and the stupid shit we did. Things have changed so much since then that sometimes it's hard not to miss the old days. If only I knew then what I know now... urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:cementkitten:19063 2006-06-26T01:28:09Z 2006-06-26T01:28:09Z <center><a href="http://mother.livejournal.com/962238.html" target="new_window"><img src="http://i6.tinypic.com/14m9w7k.jpg" border="0"></a></center> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:cementkitten:18580 2006-06-22T19:20:49Z 2006-06-22T19:20:49Z Yeah, I did it.&nbsp; I sold out and added advertising to the side of my LJ so that I could upload more icons.&nbsp; And now I'm getting some funky Internet Explorer error and I don't think there is anything that I can do about it.&nbsp; Well, other than contact LJ and we all know how well that works. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:cementkitten:18360 2006-06-21T19:05:22Z 2006-06-21T19:05:22Z Tori Amos - Silent All These Years <p align="center">Excuse me but can I be you for a while<br />My dog won't bite if you sit real still<br />I got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yellin' at me again<br />Yeah I can hear that<br />Been saved again by the garbage truck<br />I got something to say you know<br />But nothing comes<br />Yes I know what you think of me<br />You never shut-up<br />Yeah I can hear that</p> <p align="center">But what if I'm a mermaid <br />In these jeans of his <br />With her name still on it<br />Hey but I don't care<br />Cause sometimes<br />I said sometimes<br />I hear my voice<br />And it's been here<br />Silent All These Years</p> <p align="center">So you found a girl<br />Who thinks really deep thougts<br />What's so amazing about really deep thoughts<br />Boy you best praya that I bleed real soon<br />How's that thought for you<br />My scream got lost in a paper cup<br />You think there's a heaven<br />Where some screams have gone<br />I got 25 bucks and a cracker<br />Do you think it's enough<br />To get us there</p> <p align="center">Cause what if I'm a mermaid <br />In these jeans of his <br />With her name still on it<br />Hey but I don't care<br />Cause sometimes<br />I said sometimes<br />I hear my voice<br />And it's been here<br />Silent All These...</p> <p align="center">Years go by <br />Will I still be waiting<br />For somebody else to understand<br />Years go by<br />If I'm stripped of my beauty<br />And the orange clouds<br />Raining in head<br />Years go by <br />Will I choke on my tears<br />Till finally there is nothing left<br />One more casualty<br />You know we're too easy Easy Easy</p> <p align="center">Well I love the way we communicate<br />Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape<br />Let's hear what you think of me now<br />But baby don't look up<br />The sky is falling<br />Your mother shows up in a nasty dress<br />It's your turn now to stand where I stand<br />Everybody lookin' at you here<br />Take hold of my hand<br />Yeah I can hear them</p> <p align="center">But what if I'm a mermaid <br />In these jeans of his <br />With her name still on it<br />Hey but I don't care<br />Cause sometimes<br />I said sometimes<br />I hear my voice [x3]</p> <p align="center">And it's been here<br />Silent All These Years<br />I've been here<br />Silent All These Years<br /></p> <p align="center">&nbsp;</p> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:cementkitten:18054 2006-06-20T15:45:23Z 2006-06-20T15:47:59Z <table width="350" align="center" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"><tr><td bgcolor="#EEEEEE" align="center"><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" style="color:black; font-size: 14pt;"><b>Caramel Frappuccino</b></font></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><center><img src="http://images.blogthings.com/whatflavorfrappuccinoareyouquiz/caramel.jpg" height="100" width="100"></center><font color="#000000"> Creative and expressive, you tend to match your Frappuccino flavor to your mood.
