L-O-V-E
The word love can really freak me out sometimes.
I mean, we use it all the time. Well I know I do. We love chocolate cake, we love ice cream, we love the new kitchen.
We love our friends, we love our family, we love ourselves.
We love that 'one special person'
But how overused is it in that last context? The others I can handle. We overuse it until it loses it's meaning because in those situations, it almost doesn't have a meaning. It doesn't need one because, and especially in the first case, there is no meaning to it. The word gets thrown around easily and noone thinks anything of it.
Then you get situation number two. Again, it doesn't really need to be meant when it's said. It's the word you throw out when you're not really sure how else to sum up everything there is you want to say. Or the way to sign off a thank-you letter to your aunt twice removed. Or maybe just to make that other person feel better about themselves. Or to let them know you care about them, but it's just reinforcing what the already know, so the initial shock of the word, the acting out of love through hugs and willingness to talk and smiles and calling up to hang out doesn't really have it's shine because it doesn't need it. Again, it is almost too overused.
But then there's situation number three. Love. Real, unconditional love. It's here the word freaks me out. When you actually have to mean it. It has so many strong connotations that can be misinterpreted or overanalysed or ignored. And in this case, you can't not mean it. So is it better to just not say it at all? I think the whole idea of 100% sincerity is scary because in this case, you aren't really protected by the meaninglessness of the word.

i disagree
Everyone's just pretending.Anyway, in other unriveting news, our kitchen is STILL uncompleted, we still only have one toilet and one shower and my P&L oral is not finished. Or pretty.
But today, being Harmony Day, means we do not discriminate on the basis of race.
So instead, discriminate on the basis of the colour of your eggs.
Great bus trip.

things to be happy about
So I found this lovely little community on the LiveJournal that I pretty much never use, and I reckon it's pretty cool. And decided I'd do a little plagiarism and write down my five things that made me happy today, although I kinda had to think pretty hard at first to find them.
1) Finding that despite being a pile of rubbish, my old phone still works, so I can still be in contact with the world.
2) Mum bought me a mango frappe from McCafe on the way home from Group Dance in the Roger Goode which has no air con and traps heat like no other building I know. And that frappe was the greatest thing I have ever tasted.
3) Liv and I hijacked Pete's secret supply of Cadbury choc chips at work and ate them.
4) Getting the chance to veg out and watch Devil Wears Prada
5) earning back the money I spent yesterday
This kind of reminds me of that Kat kid's post about the Gratitude Journal - taking a chance everday to realize there's always something to be thankful for!

weekend!
My favourite word ever.
An exciting weekend, which has just been kickstarted by two fresh, homegrown cold ripe mangoes. Ooohhhh yeah.
The last time I'd had a mango was when I was in Penang. Penang! That was ages ago!! *sigh*
Bowling tonight, lunch, ice skating and babysitting tomorrow, work, Group Dance and church Sunday! All in all...a busy but unproductive weekend =] my favourite!

she danced the night away!
You forget how much you really love something until you start doing it again!
Like dancing. Or choreography. Being able to create something amazing to a piece of music that stretches you and entertains an audience. It's addictive, I tell you!

My dear, dear friends! I love you so much. I do want the very best for you. You make me feel such joy, fill me with such pride. Don't waver. Stay on track, steady in God

one down...
First rehearsal for Group Dance was today.
And yes, I will admit it, I was terrified about how it was going to go. I was dreading it. I was coming up with excuses not to go.
But I went. Twelve to two in the Roger Goode couldn't be that bad right?
Right!!! It went really really well =] Okay so we didn't get mass-loads done, but it's patterned, we have the chorus choreographed, Jess and I have half the dance under control.... *major major sigh of relief*
So I will get no credit for it, but I don't care! De Grey will not be embarrassed, I am sure of it.
I did get a not-so-happy email from someone who was quite upset about not being in it, and I don't blame it. I hate being responsible for making other people sad! But if it is working out well....who am I to complain?
I love this weekend. Greatest weekend on record.
Mmm...pancakes...crave....

this is your life
Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you’ve broken
Don’t close your eyes, don’t close your eyes
This is your life and today is all you’ve got now
Yeah, and today is all you’ll ever have
Don’t close your eyes
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose
Yesterday is a kid in the corner
Yesterday is dead and over
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
Yesterday is a promise that you’ve broken
Don’t close your eyes, don’t close your eyes
This is your life and today is all you’ve got now
Yeah, and today is all you’ll ever have
Don’t close your eyes
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be

beautiful surprises
Things can fall apart.
House Choirs
Things can go well.
Lit help
People can be ignorant and demanding.
Let's not mention
People can understand.
Too many to even start mentioning
I miss people!
I'll bet you can guess who you are
My mum sure loves me - dress, shoes, more shoes, belt, brooches...I should get stressed out more often =]

when you get right down to it
sometimes life isn't what you expect, but it can be a whole lot better.
First Gig Sunday arvo session yesterday.
I was too scared to be honest.
Team Xtreme were extreme-ing it up at church last night.
Again, I was too scared to be honest.
I'm a bit scared of being honest with God all up. It still scares me someone can actually take control and let me just sit back and relax. I've never been too talented at that, as I'm doing a great job of demonstrating at the moment with all the Arts-Fest related things going on. Something to think about, I know that much.
More importantly, something to act on. But I'm still working out how.
Sometimes it's a lot easier to say you're thinking about something, then choose to never act on it. So you still have your facade up, but you're really just stuck in the same place as you've always been and never really moved forward.
So - to move on to more superficial, but quite exciting things - ball dress is almost finished!

another supre purchase
It seems to be happening more often to me lately. I buy things at Supre. But hey - a $15 dress I can wear to afters/anywhere else, I can't complain!
Other than a few Supre purchases (I didn't just buy a dress...you know how it is, you've got to spend spend spend!), I had the first official dress fitting today where the dress wasn't just calico. I'm still a little 'hmmmm' about it, which isn't necessarily a good thing, but like I keep reminding myself, it is okay because it's not actually finished yet, and it would be weird if I preferred something unfinished than finished. So a final fitting on Monday should see all the yellow tacking pulled out, Uncle Peter happy to have me stop walking through his room to look at the dress in the mirror/his Premiership Cup and me finally owning a dress! Which is always a very exciting part of the ball, seeing as it is basically the main focus of the ball.
Hair issues and makeup issues which will resolve themselves =]
Don't you just love setting aside a day to do all your homework, then ending up shopping all day? To me, that is what makes it perfect!

* frustrated
* furious
* happy (again)
* surprised
* relaxed
* happy (again)
* fed-up
* ecstatic
* blase
* hungry
* full
Great isn't it =] Other than that, I saw the wonderful Kattyo for a whole three minutes! That has so got to be our personal record. And I saw Stevo which was quite awesome, cos I haven't seen that boy for a long time! In any case, back to my strenuous media assignment involving watching three movies and making yourself sound smart about them. Ooohh yeah =]

so the first thing i'll say to anyone starting year twelve...
Expect a fair few mood swings in the space of only a few short hours!
So yet again, I'm back to happy Emily. Still slightly wound up, a little stressed, but it's amazing what a good House Choirs rehearsal and a hellish Group Training session can do to your relaxation levels.
...don't give up, you've got the music in you...
