It's a small world after all...

Heyho, This is Sarah V.B. Luty reporting live from the downtown library!

Heh, there's a good story as how I wound up here ... really!

Well, as some of you know, I've been doing a lot of meeting people that I'd never met in person (friends from the internet) before... This isn't quite as suicidal as it might sound! Yes, thanks to distance Ed (homeschooling with the school's own internet server) I get at least some indication of who the person is... for instance, they wouldn't let an 60 year old lunatic join the high school server... a 17 year old one, sure, but ... 'o) yeah. So far things have worked out quite nicely... Met Derek and Alyssa at camp at the beginning of the summer, then connected with Esther in Prince George on the way home. Aaron has helpfully moved to Victoria, which saves me travelling miles to get to meet that one! =oD 'Course, with my busy schedule and his .... *insane* one, finding a time to meet is harder than it sounds. Ah well, we talked and decided that today would be good, and I was to go downtown and meet him after school. It was quite the trip downtown, as I met my Bio prof from last year on the bus coming here, as well as another Aaron (he was a drummer at oaklands for a while -- I just saw him as he was leaving, so I didn't get a chance to say hi), and then walking down Johnson I ran into Amanda. In addition, on the walk here, I saw Sergio driving by, and we gave each other a wave and a nod. Funny thing about all this? I actually never saw the person I'd planned to meet! =oD Serious case of crossed wires, it would seem. We both got off classes at 2:30, so I was going to head down afterward, but (probably largely due to the late hour at which we made plans) while that's what I was thinking, he thought I got off earlier, and was going to be there at 2:30. Actually, he almost forgot, as I discovered from an email waiting for me here, and had to go back (now I feel more bad, sorry Aaron... =o/) And I missed the first bus that left, so I wasn't sure how long he'd wait... Actually, I met a nice guy named Robin... Aaron, apparently you already know him... oh yeah, and this would be a good time to mention if he asks if you met up with that girl... that girl's me. 'o) I saw him leaving VCM and went "hmm... hard to tell age, doesn't look like what I remember from the picture but... you never know, and I'll be berating myself if that turns out to be him and I didn't even ask" ...He said he knew you, but he was not you. Surprising, eh? =oD Appologies if you think you look nothing like him.... you're probably right, and I can't really be a judge as the last picture of you where I actually saw your *coughcough* face was quite a while ago, so yeah. =oD Anyway. I got exercise in, and got to see lots of people (obviously 'o) Better luck for us next time!

Signing out,
Sari

Um, yeah...

Well, you'd think that me becoming 2 decades old tomorrow would have me up to my neck in plans for the day... wouldn't you?

I guess school counts as up to the neck.... but really that's about all I have planned... It's kinda sad, but I didn't really start thinking about it until today, that tomorrow was actually my 20th birthday. Twenty. No more teens. No more ones... at least not at the start of the number... unless I make it to 100, anyway. But yeah. Plans? zip, zero, zilch, nada. Meep. I think this is going to be a classic case of me not realizing how important something is until it's gone.... *sighs* Eyah. At least Kristi said she'd do something with me.... and I have the sneaking suspicion I'll be getting a call from Derek... *grins* *shrugs* ah well..

Happy Birthday to Me.
=o|

please excuse the dust and coding errors

Yeah, I'm back to recoding my blog after so long away from it. =o) So if things look funky or just plain WRONG or don't show up.... You'll know what's going on.


Although, I must admit, I chose a rotten time to do this, as I keep getting a 403 error when trying to view my blog. it's happening about 50% of the time. Doesn't happen to anyone else's blog for me, so weird. (Robotranslator says that a 403 is a forbidden access error.)


God bless and hope to see you all later... If I survive. =oP

Talk About Jesus // Tait

You never told me, what you always said,
"We'll be here, we'll pray for you"
It echoes in my head.
I still remember,
Longing to escape
Like a man in prison chains,
Oh, is my life in vain?

I cry out for you to hear
And I wonder,
Does anybody care?

You talk about Jesus, how He set you free
You talk about a Savior, how He died for me
I don't understand, what you're talking about
All I see is pain when I look around

Oh...
Oh yeah.

All I ever wanted,
Never wanted me
All the dreams that I've lived for
Have left me incomplete
Now I'm still searching
If I can find the truth
But these voices haunting me,
Have left me so confused.

I cry out for you to hear (oh out for you to hear)
And I wonder
Does anybody care?

You talk about Jesus, how He set you free
You talk about a Savior, how He died for me
I don't understand it, what you're talking about
All I feel is pain, please help me now.

When I was cold, did you let me in?
When I was hungry, were you my friend?
When I was down and out and I needed your hand,
Did you see a chance or just a desparate man?

You talk about Jesus, how He set you free
You talk about a Savior, how He died for me
I don't understand what you're talking about;
All I feel is pain, please help me now.

Well, you say we're equal, all men are brothers.
Then why are rich more equal than others?
Yeah more equal than others.
Don't ask the answers, I've only got one.
When a man leaves his darkness, he follows the Son.


What we do speaks so much louder than what we say.
I'm trying to live my words, not speak them.

Fine Again // Seether

It seems like every day’s the same
and I’m left to discover on my own
It seems like everything is gray
and there’s no color to behold
They say it’s over and I’m fine again, yeah
Try to stay sober feels like I’m dying here

And I am aware now of how
everything’s gonna be fine one day
Too late, I’m in hell I am prepared now,
seems everyone’s gonna be fine
One day too late, just as well

I feel the dream in me expire
and there’s no one left to blame it on
I hear you label me a liar
‘cause I can’t seem to get this through
You say it’s over, I can sigh again, yeah
Why try to stay sober when I’m dying here

And I am aware now of how
everything’s gonna be fine one day
Too late, I’m in hell
I am prepared now,
seems everyone’s gonna be fine
One day too late; just as well

And I’m not scared now.
I must assure you,
you’re never gonna get away
And I’m not scared now.
And I’m not scared now. No…

I am aware now of how
everything’s gonna be fine one day
Too late, I’m in hell
I am prepared now
seems everyone’s gonna be fine
One day too late, just as well
I am prepared now,
seems everything’s gonna be fine for me
For me; for myself.
For me, for me, for myself
For me, for me, for myself
I am prepared now
For myself
I am prepared now
And I am Fine
Again

breathing // lifehouse

I'm finding my way back to sanity
Again
Though I don't really know what I'm gonna do
When I get
There
And take a breath and hold on tight
Spin 'round one more time
And gracefully fall back to the arms of Grace

'Cause I am hanging on every word you say
And
Even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
'Cause I want nothing more than
To sit outside heaven's door
And listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be
Where I wanna be

I'm looking past the shadows
In my mind into the truth and I'm
Trying to identify
The voices in my head
God which one's You?
Let me feel one more time
What it feels like to feel alive
And break these calluses off of me
One more time

'Cause I am hanging on every word you say
And
Even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
'Cause I want nothing more than
To sit outside your door
And listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be

I don't want a thing from you
Bet you're tired of me
Waiting for the scraps to fall
Off of your table to the ground
La da da, la da da da da dah
I just want to be here now

'Cause I am hanging on every word you say
And
Even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's all right, all right with me
'Cause I want nothing more than
To sit outside heaven's door
And listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be
I am hanging on every word you say
And
Even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
'Cause I want nothing more than
To sit outside Heaven's door
And listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be

Where I wanna be
Where I wanna be
To be.
