I got this off my friend's profile:
"It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for something you're not." -Unknown
Ain't it da truth!?!?!? BE YOURSELF! (ever seen Aladdin when the Genie turns into a bee and says "Beeee yourself"???? <--- see! Even Disney agrees that ya gotta stay true to yourself!)


Here are the lyrics to one of my favorite Clay songs:
"Measure of a Man"


If one day you discovered him
broken down; he'd lost everything
No cars, no fancy clothes
to make him who he's not
The woman at his side
is all that he has got
Why do you ask him Heaven and Earth
To prove his love has worth?

Would he walk on water
would he run through fire
Would he stand for you
when it's down to the wire
Would he give his life up
to be all he can
Is that- is that- is that
How you measure a man?

If by chance,
all he had to give you
was three words
wrapped around your finger
Would that be deep enough
at the end of every day
and how will you ever know
if a man is what he says
Why do you ask him Heaven and Earth
to prove his love has worth?

Would he walk on water
would he run through fire
Would he stand for you
when it's down to the wire
Would he give his life up
to be all he can
Is that- is that- is that
How you measure a man?

He never gives up,
lets go of his dreams
his world goes around
but his one true belief
Is that how you know?
Is that what it means?

Would he walk on water?
Would he run through fire?
Would he stand for you

Would he be your anger
when the dark unfolds?
Will he ALWAYS love you
the best that he knows?
Would he give his life up
to be all he can?
Is that- is that- is that
How you measure a man

Would he walk on water
would he run through fire
Would he stand for you
when it's down to the wire
Would he give his life up
to be all he can
Is that- is that- is that
How you measure
Oh-oh
Is that- is that- is that
How you measure a man. . .?

Well, the competition I so looked forward to this weekend at the fair is no longer an option. I cannot go because I am still sick, but there shall be other competitions and a plethora of other opportunities to engage in. I hope ya'll are having a great week. We just moved from our old house to a smaller, rental house, that I LOVE! It's hard being fifteen and suddenly downsizing, but it was so totally worth it!! We don't have roadrunner yet, so I can't get on my original screen name(s) but I have been able to hook my laptop up to the phone jacks and get on my 6 month free trial of AOL, so my new (6 month available) screen name is
Dancechic2287

(that's it. Do NOT pronounce it dance"chick", it is dance "CHIC"!!! lol. just kidding, whatever!) anyways, i hope all of you are having a really good week, and if you need anything, let me know. Also, if you go to my school, and happen to pass by a member of the cross country team in the hall, wish them luck, please, for their regional race on saturday!!!

LORD, I AM WILLING TO RECEIVE WHAT YOU GIVE.
LORD, I AM WILLING TO LACK WHAT YOU WITHHOLD.
LORD, I AM WILLING TO RELINQUISH WHAT YOU TAKE.
LORD, I AM WILLING TO SUFFER WHAT YOU INFLICT.
LORD, I AM WILLING TO BE WHAT YOU REQUIRE.....
WHATEVER IT TAKES, WHATEVER THE COST!

"This may not be the best of all possible worlds, but it is the world of the best possibilities!"

"Life is only sad and boring when we cease laughing."

"I wish that I could promise that the ride won't be bumpy, and that you won't have to hold on at times, but if you do, I can promise that the result will be completely worth it. So hang on!"

"He who can laugh at himself shall never cease to be amused."

"You can't dwell on what was and what has been, because history has proven that we can't change the past. Keep your eyes focused on making the future brighter!"

"Be the change you want to see in the world!"

"What we do in life echoes into eternity."

"There's a hole in the world tonight.
There's a cloud of fear and sorrow.
There's a hole in the world tonight.
Don't let there be a hole in the world tommorow."
~The Eagles (::BIG grin::)

Alright, I decided it was time for change!

*In the voice Dr. Humble uses to speak into the "P-A system" (if it can even be called that!)* "That is all!"

::big grin!::

Today in publications:

"Dr. Busonik, haven't I already told you that I CANNOT be twarted, even by hurricanes!"
He finds this amusing. "Well," I continue, "I can't."

Later, he is trying desperately to find someone who will be graphics editor for the second issue.
"Anyone willing to?" he asks for like the gazillionth time.
"I will," I tell him.
"Ummm. . .anyone?"
"Hello? I will."
"No, you are already web editor for this issue."
"Yes, but I can do both."
"Does anyone want to be graphics editor?" he asks again.
"I vote for Lindsay," I tell him
"I second that" comes another student's response.
After an agonizing five minutes and an unsuccessful attempt to con someone else into taking on the ardurous position, he gives in.
"Alright, Lindsay, you can be both."
I smile, "Thank you."
Another five seconds, and I continue "By the way, sir, I told you I could NOT be thwarted!"
"You know," says Mickella, "Now that you've given into her once, she will expect it all year."
Dr Busonik smiles and says, "Yes, I know, but you have no idea how amuzing it is to see her beg, and get turned down, and beg somemore. It is oh so much fun!"
Lol. THE END.
