Somewhere A Clock Is Ticking
After a summer of ups and downs and a lot of me time, i feel the person I'm destined to be is here. I've come to accept who I am. Something happened this past summer that made me realize I am good enough. If I want to change something on me or about me I can and will. Change is good and no one should be afraid of it. We have to learn to embrace what life throws at us, and we have to mold to what it needs us to become to survive. People are gonna be there to rip on you or encourage you. It's up to us to keep strong and live how we want. I don't know what happened, but I feel like I can chase my dreams even though I'm not sure which one I want. I believe in myself.

Eighteen mocking Candles
I'm eighteen today. Something I wish I could say with pride. To become eighteen in my culture means you're coming of age, You are finally an adult. However I see it as a half adult. I can vote and buy lottery tickets, but I cannot drink(not that i want to), gamble at a casino, or fight for your country. Once you can legally do all those things I believe you've become an adult.
With that said, I am only half of who I can't wait to be, but will always run from. Many people have done something that has directed them in the path of their future and their dreams. But I have not. And that scares me. I'm 18 and have yet to follow my dreams.
My heart knows what those dreams are, and I'm afraid to wake up to reality. I'm afraid to let my dreams die. I've made subtle comments about certain careers, but there is always one person who will tell you why you shouldn't pursue it.
I get so sick of it sometimes. I wish I wouldn't wake up. Because who I am in my dreams is a hundred times better than who I am awake.
Nine Minutes to go and sit here staring at these words and they aren't what I want them to be.
Eight Minutes ... on the edge of seventeen
Seven minutes -- wasting tonight's' dreams on marking a day
Six minutes ** I can't tell if I'm excited, or dreading this day
Five minutes I'll admit, I am a cry-a-holic Emotional Champ
Four Minutes {to save the world}
Three Minutes ~ watching the second hand
Two minutes ~~ my mind races trying to remember all I have loved at 17
One Minute £ My heart got stuck on something
Zero
I am .klla and I am here.

Wading in these shallow waters
Do you ever feel like it doesn't matter anymore?
That it doesn't matter how many days you wake up after today, you'll still be the same?
They say, "You always have tomorrow"
But you'll always be the same person. I believe that people can't change. They can hide, but they'll never be able to become someone new. It's impossible. You were born to be who you already are. There are events, or situations and people that affect who you want to become for a split second. But you will never be able to follow through in becoming it. You could last one day, a week or five minutes with the mind of who you think you are, but you can't fight you're natural instincts. You revert back to who you really are. You are just you. And we all have to accept that.
Every time we fight with ourselves, it gets worse. You're afraid to be alone with your thoughts. It's like the person you wanted to be is a constant voice. The voice that heckles you, trying to get you to change. It begins when you're alone but eventually it's every where. Every where you look there's a memory. Even when you thought you were happy with what you are, it gives you doubt.

As the World Turns
I've become a one time whore. Why? In hopes of either catching the guys heart, or to rip it apart after. I know for a fact right now that I am going to get hurt at the same time, but it's not like it's going to be as bad as the first time. I'm in control this time. I get to draw the lines, and learn a few tricks here and there. I don't think this is even going to happen, I doubt I have the heart or the guts to do it. I wanted to see him again, and at least this way he'll come back. But that's not how I wish things would have worked out. A girl has to learn somewhere right? ( i don't like my answer to that, so I pretend I'll pretend it's normal) He cant be much of a guy if he's willing to do it, but I'm gonna guess every guy is like this. They only want one thing and it ain't my heart.
People always say to wait, he'll show up one day. One day could be the day before i die...I'm a little worried about that saying.
..I'm always defending Aaron to my friends because I liked him...but I'm bias in that conversation because they're the ones who really see what's happened to me through it all. But there is this part of me that says he doesn't deserve this, and neither do I. I need to just move on. I can't let go. Good or bad I won't let go. Guess I'd have a good job as a rescuer huh. This boy always brings apart of me out that I never thought I had.
I wrote that about 2 weeks ago. I guess I was angry at myself for letting him get to me again. I know I could never go through with that, but One Tree Hill was my blueprint for it.
It's been a good month since I first wrote that. And I havn't talked to him since. Joseph was supposed to visit but becuase of the weather he couldn't make it. seems as though every plan i make falls through. Maybe that's why I prefer the spontanious plans. Not the weeks in advance kind. It's harder to get let down this way.
The only reason I stayed at Wal-mart was so I'd be able to have the chance to apply for a loss pervention poisition there. Catching the law breakers, the fun stuff. But instead I was told that my name was mentioned for the job and a co-manager (who i didn't realize even had a say in these things) shook his head and said no. He didn't day why. But I've been told that they HAVE to give you an interview, becuase you're already a worker there you get first oppurtunity. But they wouldn't even give me the interview..They should at least tell me why I'm not even being considered. It can't be for my age, gender, previous work experience becuase that's DISCRIMINATION which is against the LAW. Ironic isn't. Now it's time for me to look for a company that wants to save their products from being stolen. Loss Pervention was my chance to get a feel for the lifestyle of that kind of career. I don't want to get into policing and not know the kind of work it will be and screw my life up.

This was the first one i put together. Becuase i <3 One tree hill :)
The rest have been posted on my facebook-so If you know me go comment :b thanks :)

Sometimes They Come Back
It's been a long time. So what brings us to this new blog would be the awesomeness that Wal mart has brought me. Yes you heard me right work at the wall is actually been pleasant. Well the work hasn't but the people I work with have made up for it. One in particular - Mystery Boy
Here's the low-down. Sunday (the 10th) a got to work and there is a rose on my locker from mystery boy. My cheeks blush and my pearly whites come out to smile like they never smiled before. I went out onto the floor to start my shift and i was in the greatest mood. Everyone kept asking who they were from, then if i found out yet. But sadly no. Not yet. Attached to the flowers was a card. Addressed to me, signed "a certain someone." This made my day and week for that matter. My friends and I concluded that it was to lead up to valentines day.
So, Tuesday the 12th. Item numero douce. A card in my locker with a lovely note making my mind run amok. Who and Why were defiantly running through my head. And the card answered Why.. but not Who. I was happy but still disappointed. I so felt tormented that on the eve of my next shift...Saterday...well past valentines day. I could not fall asleep. And when i finally do.. i wake an hour early before my alarm goes off. Got ready for work with hours to spare. I got to work and my smile finally disappeared. There was nothing. Even though the card said "perhaps next time" referring to when I would find out who mystery boy was. That work shift went by incredibly slow. Because i was still trying to figure it out.
I got to work Sunday and nothing was on my locker, i was prepared for this. I opened my locker slowly, not wanting to go out onto the floor, and a white envelope had my name on it. Inside that was a cue card with a key taped onto it. It read "Locker #216" what did you know, the key fit the lock and inside was a bag with a white teddy bear and another card, wishing me a belated v-day. I was amazed at the length this guy went to just to make me feel so special around the few days of the year that i hate. My birthday, and Christmas and every Monday that isn't a holiday are the others :)
But even with MB's latest stunt, still no word on Who he is. I'm still racking my brain on this qunadrium. The second I thought it was one guy, someone else said another name or a reason for it not to be them. But we have all agreed that he has only one thing left to do and that is to finally tell me. And he will either leave another thing or just come out and say it.
I hope it's soon, who knows..by the time he comes forward I could be dating someone. haha...but that is most unlikely. I'm gonna stick this one out to see who this awsome guy is first.
And some people may be cross with me for this, but I started talking to Aaron...yes the Aaron from the earlier blogs. For some reason i felt it important to tell him of my mystery boy.. only after he asked me about my love life. I thought it'd be nice to show him what he was missing out on. He calls Mystery boy a loser because he hasn't come forward yet...i laugh. Someone is a wee bit jealous :) J-moose and I had a good laugh about this. But then something I didn't expect ... we made minor plans to catch up. His words "man i haven't seen you in forever".....i thought it would be fun to just meet up. So i guess we'll see if those plans follow through.
Tuesday February the 19th and another note. "I think it's time that we should meet. But I will leave it to you, if you decide too." and along with that he gave me an email address. One that definitely was designed to keep anonymous yet again.

It's been awhile since I added mystery boyto msn and I was talking to him the other night and i finally got him to reveal himself. :) I can't say I'm disappointed. In a way I was kind of surprised based on all the things people were saying. So the mystery is over for me, not for all who want to know. I promised him I wouldn't tell anyone...yet. so friends please be patient. It's worth the wait.
In the mean time, I'm pretty sure I have a hang out with Aaron this coming week. I'm kinda excited to see how he is doing and to show him who I've become. I've said before that he helped me find myself, and without him I found even more.
Life sure knows how to throw you some curve balls, but I wouldn't change a thing-because I will always accept it with grace.
side note, the artist who has captured my heart's words is Sia. Brilliant musician. <3>

I Forgot to Remember to Forget
Just wanted to add a few pictures that just hit my heart.
Someone once told me i deserved better and since then that's been my only expectation. I would sit there and pick apart the guy I like, trying to figure out if he is "good enough" ... but as of now, I wonder if I am the one who is good enough? Being a teenager is awkward enough but to try and find a guy you can be yourself around and they truly like you for who you are is becoming harder and harder every day. I've said this before, and I thought I was over this stage but I guess my heart never could.
I feel like such a hypocrite because several guys have told me they like me and want to start something, but i don't feel the same way towards them. Am I wrong to say no? Am I wrong to hope to be with someone I really like? If I'm not wrong, then why haven't I been able to have a steady relationship with someone I really care about. People are telling me all the time about how beautiful I am and how I have this contagious personality. Like ...I have COMPLETE Strangers come up to me at work and say "you are a very beautiful girl" sure most of them are older...much older people but hey if they can appreciate my looks why the hell can't guys my age?
It's obvious that I care about how I look (who doesn't?) but it doesn't make me narcissistic. I just want someone to look beyond looks. I want him to hear me...see me, you know? I don't need to have those silly little flings. My heart can't take those.
People always leave.
Most of my friends are leaving to go to University and for most that means out of my life. They say the friends you make at University are friends for life. It kinda scares me because I'm missing out on that opportunity because I have chosen College. I worked so hard in all the univeristy courses at school, and now it's for nothing. I could've slacked all through school and still make it into college. Funny how that one works out. Back to what I'm trying to say. People keep saying they are getting out of this town, or they are leaving to go pursue what they are the best at. Or for some it's for another job, or residence. I don't really know how to react when someone's goodbye is forever.

The sum of one
It's been awhile, but I am still alive. J-moose I'm sure you'll be happy now.
A lot has happened, however it's been awhile since they have so its hard to remember them all. I'll try my best :P
Well...most recently, I have a new job..along with the wal-mart one. I edit biographies for a company that's just starting out. I'll be starting very soon, so I'm really excited.
I just finished up my first semester of grade 12 and based on my courses for semester two.. I just passed gr.12. I know i can't fail any of the courses i just had and I have communications technology, food and nutrition, drama, and gym. I'm very excited for that too. :) My brother is actually going to be in my drama class. It's a spilt class because there isn't enough gr 12's to have a full class.
On February 6th I will be going to see One Republic at a club :D very excited.
I'm also sending in a video to much music...hoping to win a spot on the show "The Shift"
..hmm oh yes now for the really good story.
So i'm not sure if i mentioned this before but i was in a MADD video shoot and i met this guy there. We are really good friends. But we never saw eachother after that shoot. but we always talked on msn. Most recently we talked about what happened to his plans on coming down to visit. Well stick a sign on me and call me oblivious.... i was always working when he could come down so he said he took it as a hint, that i didn't want to see him. Then he told me that the only reason he was going to go to McMaster university..was to be closer to me and start something up if i was interested. I was stunned. I felt so bad that he took things the wrong way becuase i really would have loved for him to be closer. But now he has a girlfriend... they seem to be taken over the world...blahh he just moved in with his gf in burlington, so he is a bit closer which is nice.
see this is what i mean.. i had more things..but i have forgotten them. *Sigh* I'm sure i'll rememebr them at some point.
I'm gonna cut this short for now.
