i like this song. garth brooks is an incredibly honorable man.

standing outside the fire

We call them cool
Those hearts that have no scars to show
The ones that never do let go
And risk the tables being turned

We call them fools
Who have to dance within the flame
Who chance the sorrow and the shame
That always comes with getting burned

But you've got to be tough when consumed by desire
'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire

We call them strong
Those who can face this world alone
Who seem to get by on their own
Those who will never take the fall

We call them weak
Who are unable to resist
The slightest chance love might exist
And for that forsake it all

They're so hell-bent on giving ,walking a wire
Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the
fire

Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire

There's this love that is burning
Deep in my soul
Constantly yearning to get out of control
Wanting to fly higher and higher
I can't abide
Standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire

i dont think they really get it

sometimes you think they might just understand where you're coming from, but then they say just one phrase and you go back to thinking....they have no idea.

most times, after a while, you begin to see where they were coming from. but there are always certain times, like now, where its impossible to see it.

you know who im talking about--- sigh

anyway, we have our research paper rough draft due on monday. things are changing around for that, we see the light at the end of the tunnel now, yet it is still a long ways ahead of us.

yout revival this weekend was loads of fun. i got to meet lindsays friends! and i was right, they are as wonderful as she is :)

im gonna try and pick up the ol' harmonica tomorrow and play a "little" something. we'll see.

the news didnt air today. i was upset, and my *amazing* report didnt work either. grumph....oh well.

rachelle and i talked to mr. vanbragt today about our papers. he helped A LOT. im glad we talked to him. i think he gave us a whole new light to look at this assignment thru.

no school tomorrow! yay:) going to rachelle's at 11 till whenever. hopefully we'll finish our research papers. wish us luck.

my bones itch and i have a cramp in my eye , so i'd better flee.

~this was for lindsay and whitney

<3 you very, very much
-forever and for always

mindful monday

Ever had that feeling of isolation?

Ya know, like when you're with these people, and they decide to go off and do something, but without you really being involved?
So you go off to find another friend (because you have more then one) and they're already hanging out with someone else who doesn't want to hang out with you.
Then, the only solution is to go off and either sit by yourself, or stand by people who you really don't know, because they could care less about who's standing by them.

Good feeling isn't it.

Anyway, naw, only happens once in a great while... no biggy.

oooh! good news!
i joined video club, that's like the first thing i've done this year :)

and i have an idea of who my valentine might be.... im still testing the waters though.

lindsay- i thought you were right about there being no personable guys here and all(another plus about moving), but anyway, i think we can make one acception :)
and catch this: their birthday is on valentines day! how cool is that?

I Love You This Much// Jimmy Wayne
He can't remember the times that he thought
Does my daddy love me?
Probably not
But that didn't stop him from wishing that he did
Didn't keep from wanting or worshiping him

He guesses he saw him about once a year
He could still feel the way he felt
Standing in tears
Stretching his arms out as far as they'd go
Wispering daddy, I wan't you to know


I love you this much and I'm waiting on you
To make up your mind, do you love me to?
However long it takes
I'm never giving up
No matter what, I love you this much

He grew to hate him for what he had done
'Cause what kind of a father, could do that to his son
He said 'damn you daddy', the day that he died
The man didn't blink, but the little boy cried

I love you this much and I'm waiting on you
To make up your mind, do you love me to?
However long it takes
I'm never giving up
No matter what, I love you this much

Half way through the service
While the choir sand a hymn
He looked up above the preacher
And he sat and stared at him

He said "Forgive me father"
When he realized
That he been unloved or alone all his life
His arms were stretched out as far as they'd go
Nailed to the cross, for the whole world to know


I love you this much and I'm waiting on you
To make up your mind, do you love me to?
However long it takes
I'm never giving up
No matter what, I love you this much
