It's a sort of bliss noticing everything around you.&lt;br /&gt;This post is going to be short because i'm just about to walk into bliss...&lt;br /&gt;The sky is blue, the grass is still wet, the leaves are a warm honey, and maple syrup red, the birds are singing sweet melodies, and i am wrapping my fuzzy scarf around my neck.&lt;br /&gt;Going on a walk is a very capturing experience for all of your senses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a little enlightening poetry for you:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;as I have seen in one autumnal face"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;John Donne&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3176343636872414953-2539582437920803132?l=pure-rain.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pure-rain.blogspot.com/feeds/2539582437920803132/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3176343636872414953&amp;postID=2539582437920803132' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3176343636872414953/posts/default/2539582437920803132'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3176343636872414953/posts/default/2539582437920803132'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pure-rain.blogspot.com/2009/10/i-love-taking-morning-walks.html' title='fuzzy scarf'/><author><name>Emily</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13283629992255920879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176343636872414953.post-1906413438334415585</id><published>2009-09-26T07:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-02T15:18:07.245-07:00</updated><title type='text'>i wish the real world would just stop hassling me</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I was on my rickety old bus that shook me to the beat of the music, while my thoughts were abysmal. I was so mesmerized inside my head that when an empty bottle came flying over my worn, blue, seat and fell into my lap, i didn't even realize it. I was in a seventh heaven, looking outside the streaked window. I just started to write my blog in my head. The best and easiet kind of writing dosen't need a paper or pencil because somehow it hinders your thoughts, a plain rectangle, almost like a barrier. Maybe if I cut the paper into a different shape... So i just sat there and let the music build to a symphony in my ear "dragonfly out in the sun you know what i mean." It's the most alluring time of year. The leaves are sitting on the edge of forever, cut right down the middle, one half is painted red and orange while the other side is a sweet,crisp green for the last taste of summer. We're inbetween fall and summer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;As I came back to the real world, I handed the kid the plastic bottle as he mumbled some kind of half, sorry excuse. It didn't matter anyways because the music overwhelmed the words escaping his mouth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;It's a new dawn&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;It's a new day&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;It's a new life&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;For me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;And i'm feeling good&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;michael buble's voice is his own instrument,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;and mine is my thoughts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;As i walked off the bus and the light brushed across my face,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;i was feeling good.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3176343636872414953-1906413438334415585?l=pure-rain.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pure-rain.blogspot.com/feeds/1906413438334415585/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3176343636872414953&amp;postID=1906413438334415585' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3176343636872414953/posts/default/1906413438334415585'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3176343636872414953/posts/default/1906413438334415585'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pure-rain.blogspot.com/2009/09/i-wish-real-world-would-just-stop.html' title='i wish the real world would just stop hassling me'/><author><name>Emily</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13283629992255920879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176343636872414953.post-8526349664880638804</id><published>2009-09-12T08:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-17T12:56:38.924-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Harriet The Spy</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I'm sitting and typing away at the computer i'm going to have in my room. It's downstairs right now, but soon it will be in my room where thoughts seem to flow more frequently and easily. I want to do that whole "Harriet-The-Spy" work in my room. I'd love to have a typwriter, even just the sound of fingers gliding across a normal keyboard seem to sound like music clunking along the old keys of a typewriter. A pen stuck in the wild mess of my hair, my legs curled up under me, rain pattering against the windowpane and the "ding" of ressurance when you've reached the edge of the paper. I'm re-doing my room, giving it a new story. There are just three main pieces of furniture i really want. An old distressed bookcase, maybe with an old, clouded , stained door on it. A big desk, right in front of my open window, for paper, pencils, stacks of books on photography, and my computer/typewriter. And lastly a bed, filled with pillows and blankets. I want to hang national geographic pictures teared from my magazines, black and white photos taped to the walls and stacked all over that i've taken on my dad's old camera. I'd love to develop them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Hardwood floors, black worn converse(i love thinking of their story of walking mountains in cali).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I want my room to have "a little romance without getting too cinderella sweet", i want to take myself, and have my room capture that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I want my room to look like the sky has come in.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

a feeling of being on the edge, ready to plunge into all the knew challenges.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I'm usually eager, i want to show everyone what changed in

So i won't lose what i'm trying to get across...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;When we went camping, Mary and I talked a lot about L . o . v . e, and faith, but suprisingly love is easier to explain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;And one thing I said sort of stuck with her, and when she told me she thought more about it, it made me look deeper into it...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I told her she talks about Josh a lot and it's not a bad thing, but i'm just wondering if he is such a big part of her life, what am i missing?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I don't know how to put it into words what exactly i'm "missing", I guess you just have to see someone in love.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#000000;"&gt;metaphor/analogy:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;It's like without glasses, those blurs in the distance were all i could see. I didn't think i was missing anything, or there was anything at all to see. They were too far out of reach.

I wanted to work out this summer, go back to school feeling better about myself in many different ways...but i never took that leap.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;California was amazing, i took in every surrounding.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;But i want more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#000000;"&gt;"It's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;All of my friends had there whole summers planned out, at first that didn't seem very exciting. You know, knowing exactly what you're going to be doing everyday. I wanted each morning to be a suprise, i wanted to be daring.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#000000;"&gt;"You're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Except now, you guessed it, i didn't take advantage of that. And now school is going to be here so soon and i don't feel prepared.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I don't want to give up the simple moments of long grass blowing in the field of my backyard, swimming in the pool lit by the moon, walking down to the only streetlight for miles in dresses, converse and cowboy boots, playing my guitar on the porch...all those simple things i did, together, they seem right.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I kind of convinced myself in this post that i &lt;em&gt;am&lt;/em&gt; having a summer with even the few moments &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;that make me smile.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;so maybe my real problem is time...lack of it i mean.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Isn't it everyones?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;If you're still following me after all of that, there's one last thought i'm going to type.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I'm going to lake george with mary for a week and i'm going to make it my everything.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Everything i didn't do up until now, i'm going to do in that week.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Not a lot of time, but i've got to get over that whole time issue sometime.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#000000;"&gt;"Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Have you ever thought of the world

late at night and seeing what i think of it in the morning, then i'll post it. maybe even add more to it once i'm &lt;em&gt;awake&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt; why does the truth come out at night; it is pitch black. does darkness seem to take in all your secrets like a black hole, so it seems safe to say them outloud? telling the boy now, all the thoughts that were racing through your head in daylight...but now your brain is slow, blinking, heavy breathing, simple things...the words seem so easy now to say. it's a hard concept..but just think, wherever you are, late at night..at a moldy hotel 6 backed up against the wall on a bed, laying outside under the stars, or just sitting at your computer typing mindlessly, you can say whatever you want and think about everything because your tired, your brain is in a transe...on the verge of sleeping, breathe in and out. once you can let your body go, your mind follows fearless. like a monster in a closet, it only comes out when the sun goes down.&lt;br /&gt;i've noticed lately that i can't shut up. my mom tells me to do something and i have to say what i think...she won't listen, even if i yell, i just need to be heard. how can i be passive about some things and then want to scream out loud at other things? all i know is my "attitude" seems to be getting me in trouble. maybe i'm tired of just listening. so i just keep on talking. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;crossroads &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;broken glass &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;sweet perfume &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;words that seem to work&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;why does the moon shine night and day, but the sun sets? don't go scientific..just why is the moon up in daylight...something that glows at night hearing all your secrets..is still faintly there in daylight, when you wake up. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;blah.bed.for now.short and sweet.never would have thought i could be that way.2nd post i said i was never short and sweet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;now that i look back on everything i wrote, something has changed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;goodnight&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;good morning&lt;/span&gt;...i guess i was pretty awake, or sane last night..because nothing i wrote seems too "out there"..but maybe night or day, my thoughts are still the same..i care how i say them and want them out there naked.(used to use that word ''naked" and "undressing my thoughts" a lot) maybe i should let go more, not care..and let the true monster come out of the closet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;i guess why i have the title "bulletproof" is it just seems like a cool word, and the meaning might be that sometimes we feel like nothing can stop us, or maybe being bulletproof is like taking a bullet but not letting it brake you.

I did have a post before, but none of it is true anymore, i thought i didnt like it so i made it a draft;unfinished thoughts. The only thing that seems to be true is how screwed up i am over this one boy..and please dont be the there-are-better-things-to-take-over-your-thoughts-besides-a-boy-and-maybe-you-should-just-forget-about-him- person because getting over it isn't an option for me. i'm stealing this from a friends profile because it jumped out at me...I close my eyes and the &lt;strong&gt;flashback &lt;/strong&gt;starts. That's what keeps me going or falling...hard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;When i hit that bottom crash you're all i have&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I was sitting in a dark corner, with some weird artificial tree branching over me, i didn't care that it was cramped, it was dark and noone could find me. The moon was dim and a perfect backdrop. I just pulled my feet up to my chest and let my ipod fade in and out. I thought about everything...why is it that wherever i am i think about you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I just want to talk to you, i need to do something.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;you need to say something.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Every rain makes its way into somebody's song&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;But i still love&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;i'm all in&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;emily&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3176343636872414953-6507921645019577903?l=pure-rain.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pure-rain.blogspot.com/feeds/6507921645019577903/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3176343636872414953&amp;postID=6507921645019577903' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3176343636872414953/posts/default/6507921645019577903'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3176343636872414953/posts/default/6507921645019577903'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pure-rain.blogspot.com/2008/10/and-reason-is-you.html' title='and the reason is you'/><author><name>Emily</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13283629992255920879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_70EAQczryz8/SPALB3rlxiI/AAAAAAAAADM/QqxfrfrukJQ/s72-c/spilling+heart.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176343636872414953.post-872843777680588568</id><published>2008-09-05T13:18:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-05T14:15:47.597-07:00</updated><title type='text'>talking to the rain</title><content type='html'>&lt;img title="free spirited; out of control" height="400" src="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-set/BQcDAAAAAwoDanBnAAAABC5vdXQKFjZNYllOcjVzM1JHeHNzb3ZUMFZTQWcAAAACaWQKAWUAAAAEc2l6ZQ.jpg" width="400" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;ok i know i'm going to be posting a lot more because i get what i need to say from a single bus ride. With my headphones on and the bus just riding along with trees passing just makes it perfect. All i need right then and there is my music and the road even if it is a beat up school bus. Moments blurred into focus like just realizing as i was tapping my fingers to the music, the sun streamed in right onto my hand and bright pink nail polish, was the perfect moment for a picture, i think atleast. Everything just seemed right then and there, it's still summer and there was a gorgeous breeze, my hair was wispy and blowing onto my eyes like any movie moment, a new song predictably came and went, the bus got emptier and emptier because i am one of the last ones off, it was me and my thoughts strumming to a guitar...it's hard to explain because it's little moments pieced together when i realized music on the road is just&lt;strong&gt; right&lt;/strong&gt;. I kinda realized i look at things as the perfect movie moment, a picture captured just right, the perfect sentence for a blog, or just the right thought to go on paper. Paper is what i never leave the house without, a post-it note, composition notebook, journal, hand outs in school when we're taking notes, an old crumpled napkin &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I grabbed a pen and an old napkin And I wrote down our song &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;It's like an obsession but atleast its not illegal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I am bright nail polish,pouring rain, a single star, a starry night, waves crashing, out of breath, soft breathers, speechless moments,song writer, night sneak outs, morning sunrise, broken glass, broken hearts, wishing, my playlist,crushing on him,open fields, moonlit water,naked, on the road, music.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I know that i can't wait for my licence because i will just drive to the end of the world. dirt road, blaring music every turn with me at the wheel. Plus with a friend it makes it that much more awesome.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I've been driving for an hour Just talking to the rain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;as i walked into the house when i got home, i lowered my music so it was softly playing for only me to hear, like background music or the soundtrack to my life.i thought that was cool&lt;3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;for those of you who want to stop crushing, here is a little snipet from"out of my face" by saving abel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;So get out of my face&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Get out of my sight&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Get out of my head and give me back my piece of mind&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;and suprisingly going back to school doesn't kill you)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;-em&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;p.s. i stole the pic from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/profile?id=118422"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;C α я ℓ у ♥&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt; on poly&lt;3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3176343636872414953-872843777680588568?l=pure-rain.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pure-rain.blogspot.com/feeds/872843777680588568/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3176343636872414953&amp;postID=872843777680588568' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3176343636872414953/posts/default/872843777680588568'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3176343636872414953/posts/default/872843777680588568'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pure-rain.blogspot.com/2008/09/talking-to-rain.html' title='talking to the rain'/><author><name>Emily</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13283629992255920879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176343636872414953.post-2052682872321864501</id><published>2008-08-16T18:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-16T20:44:29.026-07:00</updated><title type='text'>You can only move as fast as,Who's in front of you</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk295/murdoc_denden/Flyleaf_-_Flyleaf_cover.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 238px; CURSOR: hand" height="254" alt="" src="http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk295/murdoc_denden/Flyleaf_-_Flyleaf_cover.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;so i pretty much have nothing to write about. But i just need to write. Well ive never talked about my day, so i'll try that whole being a teenager drama. There was a garage sale going on at chez maison(no idea if thats right) But anyways i got to lay in a chair my feet dangling off the edge, sun was peeking through the clouds just enough to warm all your senses, the summer breeze making the wind chimes the perfect touch; God's music, and my pup sleeping on my lap. Kind of that "i love summer" moment. Then my mom talked to this girl, well woman...same sex anyways, but she knew this girl.grr woman, who had twin boys and one choked and died at a babysitters. The other twin is too young to know he has a twin, let alone a brother..but something will always be missing and he will just feel lost..its sad. And also my mom talked to her about these 5 really skinny horses, and the ASPCA cant do anything because they have a "no trespassing" sign..but they wont make it through winter without food..so i'm deffinetely calling again. I also went to the store and my mom and I bought over $200 worth of groceries...not eating before i go benefits me by getting tons of yummy snacks...but the only problem was if there is a camera in there, every action shot of me is pulling up the pants falling off my but. So anyone watching got a laugh, which is always good, it helps loose weight;) Now im hear listening to music (I didnt do only 3 three things today but those are the highlights...plus i climbed my favortie tree with a juice box..hard work) Anyways music gets me in a great mood, i dont care if i cant sing, i just love singing and dancing around, im a teenage girl so you have to expect that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I kind of like the pointlessness to this post, so i'll do what most everyone does and leave you with lyrics&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;in my rocker mood music...: a little snipet from "breathe today" by:flyleaf&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

Well i'm hooked on romance movies. Like the notebook, or titanic, anything. you jump i jump, just being taken to the stars,because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me... everyday. Im not getting sucked into them it's just our love is like the wind. I can't see it, but I can feel it. Now tell me you dont want that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;And even though its completely ridiculous i want a star named after me, have a summer love, and give up everything once upon a ship.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;Ever heard of the saying, "If you want to hear God laugh tell Him your plans?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Sing to me the song of the stars.

So let's get this started. I have definetely realized how hard it is to write a song and make the music. I have this journal that i write down words that might be able to be a song...but right now it just seems to look black and white(i mean its black ink on white paper so to a literal level, yes its black and white, but the words are more than that, theyre twisted, theyre helpless snipets of some thoughts, but what more can you ask from a teenager?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;color:#000000;"&gt;It's twisted&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;color:#000000;"&gt;Messed up&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;color:#000000;"&gt;And the more I think about it&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;color:#000000;"&gt;It's crazy, but so what&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;so what we're all "messed up" in our heads we think we're getting a grasp on the whole &lt;em&gt;life &lt;/em&gt;concept...but it's too unfathomable to put into words, or your stupid blog. Words are just proof that you are crazy, your thoughts on paper, theyre screwed up...and it's why so many people can't or won't believe in God is because he's not as simple as a word, yea we try to make it like that...we take ideas on life like this run-on sentence and have a gazillion words on that one subject of life..but taking every single word, belief, your entire life and others and making it into one "person" responsible, only one word, &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;God&lt;/span&gt;...well that there dares everything you once thought.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;can you do that? or am i merely wishing on &lt;em&gt;wild hope&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;In the crazy world&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Anything can happen&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;If you will it to&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I'm just a hazy girl&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Blurring all the edges&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Only seeing blue&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3176343636872414953-6579497424356586444?l=pure-rain.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pure-rain.blogspot.com/feeds/6579497424356586444/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3176343636872414953&amp;postID=6579497424356586444' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3176343636872414953/posts/default/6579497424356586444'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3176343636872414953/posts/default/6579497424356586444'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pure-rain.blogspot.com/2008/07/wild-hope.html' title='wild hope'/><author><name>Emily</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13283629992255920879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_70EAQczryz8/SHpWbX8tBQI/AAAAAAAAABk/Olv6gQa9ZY0/s72-c/jump.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176343636872414953.post-1983840387918803002</id><published>2008-07-02T07:28:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-02T09:04:25.232-07:00</updated><title type='text'>All i can taste is this moment</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://images.gactv.com/packages/shortcuts/images/Main.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 183px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 256px" height="327" alt="" src="http://images.gactv.com/packages/shortcuts/images/Main.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;do you ever realize how many times you hit the backspace on words that just dont seem to capture those unwritten words inside your head, but when you speak it's a whole different vulnerability vs. your diary. Because what ever is written down is what you wanted to say kind of "fixed up". So when you speak your even more naked in front of a crowd, your you, because your saying what is really on your mind instead of revising and "touching it up".

I have this bag to go on my shoulder with my ipod a few pens and my notebook, whether i cant fall asleep,laying on a rock as the waves consume me, wherever i am i'll write and have that layed back look with a little bit of danger thrown in and be absent mindedly fearless, with the beach wave hair, just being anything but ordinary.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Me and my rose&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.minneapolismensgardenclub.org/2007FotoShowDigitals/Images/8.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 71px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 47px" height="93" alt="" src="http://www.minneapolismensgardenclub.org/2007FotoShowDigitals/Images/8.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;(&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;mon amie) are going to ride up to camp, music blaring and we have a list of crazy things to do, we're even burning a c.d just to dance to on the beach late at night.

(this whole no grammar thing isnt going to work, maybe a few wrong or misplaced commas but i need this to scream!!) i guess before i go and try to figure out everything and everyone else i need to start with &lt;strong&gt;just me.&lt;/strong&gt; you know what i love, to ride in a car with the top down hands in the air and just blasting the music late at night, theres no special twist about of explaining words to why...i gues maybe &lt;em&gt;girls just wanna have fun&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;in the car is where i get my best thinking going and i finally think i get why i flat out &lt;strong&gt;suck &lt;/strong&gt;with guys. Its because im afraid, of messing up, of letting someone see my imperfections i dont want to make any mistakes and i guess why i broke up with this one &lt;em&gt;boy&lt;/em&gt; was because as much as i tried to prove i could kiss him i was scared to &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;death &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;of what he'd think. oh and the other reason was because he was a jerk unable to see that. But thats over with, i want a guy who will whisper "good morning beautiful" in the morning and take away all my fears of doing something wrong, cause face it i will. and so will he.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;im not going to get caught up in wanting a guy, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;but just, i dont know everyone wonders&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#000000;"&gt;Is there a someone&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#000000;"&gt;for everyone&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#000000;"&gt;willing to be&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#000000;"&gt;your everything&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;(another something i thought up)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;color:#000000;"&gt;i dont really know what i want to say with all this.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;color:#000000;"&gt;For now, watch me &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;unfold&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3176343636872414953-7656506975723275567?l=pure-rain.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pure-rain.blogspot.com/feeds/7656506975723275567/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3176343636872414953&amp;postID=7656506975723275567' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3176343636872414953/posts/default/7656506975723275567'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3176343636872414953/posts/default/7656506975723275567'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pure-rain.blogspot.com/2008/06/ill-be-your-baby-blue-jeans.html' title='i&apos;ll be your baby blue jeans'/><author><name>Emily</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13283629992255920879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176343636872414953.post-146944912606845367</id><published>2008-05-26T05:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-12T22:32:21.926-08:00</updated><title type='text'>naked</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_70EAQczryz8/SDq0DoBECII/AAAAAAAAABI/OMlLrbkjxKQ/s1600-h/emilys+pictures+155.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204670293754513538" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 156px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 220px" height="269" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_70EAQczryz8/SDq0DoBECII/AAAAAAAAABI/OMlLrbkjxKQ/s320/emilys+pictures+155.jpg" width="197" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;did you ever want to go beyond your fingerprint streaked window pain, the scattered flowers, the pounding rain, the paint splattered sky, the world?... i didnt know where to put those song lyrics from last time so i kind of threw them into their own blog.

I'm ignorant, but aren't we all? I'm scribbling this post down on paper with pen scatches, lying on the ground, crossing out words that are miswritten. We smudge unwanted inked truths...we need to speak...so i'm going to say everything that comes to my mind (hmm i'm letting my thoughts run wild...how daring.) NOW, I was thinking that i find simple pleasures, I stare in amazement as a dandelion ball of white puff slides across this page and tumbles over me. Black and white photos tantalize me with bare, raw truth sketched into the camera lense. I could go on about how i find the simplicities more remarkable than the worlds bold intentions... (simplicity is &lt;em&gt;extra&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ordinary&lt;/strong&gt;...white paper thought.) I dont know why i started a blog it seems to be more of a jumble of thoughts...I guess to show people who want to listen and myself that everything... the whispers of the breeze, a splash of water spiraling into rings, whisteling a symphonic melody with the birds, sitting in a tree to grasp the tough skin, letting loose in an open field or a crowded room, throwing your thoughts into bliss and closing you eyes for one &lt;em&gt;damn&lt;/em&gt; moment...is where I find peace and serenity in a world people forget is here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;yellow post-it note quote:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"no matter what happens&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;keep your childhood innocence"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;~"Under The Tuscan Sun"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;what happened to the music where you danced to nothing (cool breeze thought)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;-&lt;/span&gt;Tip: Writing on pavement acquires a blanket of some mismatched pattern&lt;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;for future pen-on-paper bloggers&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3176343636872414953-6152847882095534661?l=pure-rain.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pure-rain.blogspot.com/feeds/6152847882095534661/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3176343636872414953&amp;postID=6152847882095534661' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3176343636872414953/posts/default/6152847882095534661'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3176343636872414953/posts/default/6152847882095534661'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pure-rain.blogspot.com/2008/05/where-heart-is.html' title='&quot;Where The Heart Is&quot;'/><author><name>Emily</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13283629992255920879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176343636872414953.post-3171455057130674051</id><published>2008-05-04T06:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-04T07:26:28.013-07:00</updated><title type='text'>rain drops sliding down the window pain</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.easterwood.org/hmmn/images/053103_kamakura_5_2S.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 201px; CURSOR: hand" height="177" alt="" src="http://www.easterwood.org/hmmn/images/053103_kamakura_5_2S.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#999999;"&gt;I assure you this is going to be a short post (then again every breath we take something can change...so if you assume that me assuring things is going to make them turn out the way I said...you cant always trust what i say...because words are as gone as the breath or swipe of a pencil it took to declare them)...What that drag on mixed up statement (i do that alot...remember i just wanted to be able to put these rain pouring words to mean something to show that i'm understanding atleast one little part of the crazy world...), so what i meant by everything is to trust yourself, because words spoken or written or whatever you do with them string along lies...so my whole oprah lesson is to trust, but dont be blinded. See look at this one statement i tried to explain and i go on and on...i'm not short and sweet i use everything i have to get my thoughts out, because everyone needs atleast someone to understand them. The whole point of this post was to talk about rainy days. They aren't as bad as you think...the rain cleans, refreshes everything, and it's like a new start...written words smudge and problems whirl in a puddle (My words somehow wound up sounding like a poem, bare with me...)The simplicity in rain is being able to curl up in an awkward flannel pattern blanket, sip dark, sweet hot chocolate as the steam rises and kisses your face, getting lost in a book taking you through a sunny field laying on your back with the breeze being the only whistling sound of music, as the raindrops just slide down the window pain. Sometimes (topic change-reminder) i just happen upon quotes, or theyre like a post-it note stuck to my head...it's post-it note time and i'm not saying its not lyrics...because sometimes the best quotes lie inbetween a melody and a guitar solo...so here it is:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#999999;"&gt;"I'm so&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#999999;"&gt;Damn curious to know &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#999999;"&gt;And there are too&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#999999;"&gt;Many unanswered questions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#999999;"&gt;That we hold onto"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339999;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3176343636872414953-3171455057130674051?l=pure-rain.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pure-rain.blogspot.com/feeds/3171455057130674051/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3176343636872414953&amp;postID=3171455057130674051' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3176343636872414953/posts/default/3171455057130674051'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3176343636872414953/posts/default/3171455057130674051'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pure-rain.blogspot.com/2008/05/rain-drops-sliding-down-window-pain.html' title='rain drops sliding down the window pain'/><author><name>Emily</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13283629992255920879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176343636872414953.post-5723872692556711191</id><published>2008-05-03T06:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-12T22:32:22.208-08:00</updated><title type='text'>for now its gonna be "just me"</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_70EAQczryz8/SBxkKnaBvtI/AAAAAAAAAAM/e9vikw8tfXk/s1600-h/dsm01437hstcrpdf2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5196138203618328274" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 125px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 87px" height="90" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_70EAQczryz8/SBxkKnaBvtI/AAAAAAAAAAM/e9vikw8tfXk/s200/dsm01437hstcrpdf2.jpg" width="161" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;I thought for now i'd start with something simple ...me. I'm not really sure how this whole blog thing works, but then again there really isn't&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;a sure way of doing anything. You kind of wing it...so thats what i'm going to do (and what i usually do when it comes to life.) But doesnt that make it a suprise? I have a friend who doesn't like suprises she wants to know what things will be without the whole unwrapping that ugly paper your friends managed to scrounge up for you birthday...but whats the fun in that, would you still live your life, live in the moment if you knew what it would all lead up too? I &lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;think&lt;/span&gt; my special bmark (thats blog mark, you know my speical twist to this...my own signature thing to do...beisdes making up words that are screaming with originality) will be writing down a quote from anything...one of my friends speaks out with song lyrics and another with random spanish words of wisdom (well just ordinary spanish, if you find wisdom with that..than my random babbling has made sense) Back to the beginning of this i was going to talk about simple ol' me. Except the thing is i enjoy simplicity like dancing in the rain, old black and white photos, swinging, walking to the end of the world, an old crickety italian house, planes (watching over everyone), the sweet taste of chocolate, how "summer came like cinnamon, &lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;so sweet", &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;sunsets(i can't find my old font i was using..ha), being a dork, laying in a an open field and wathching the sky spin around me, being an absolute dork and clutz...i can go on because the beauty of life to me is surrounding youself in it and that includes living with who you are. I always want to speak and (i change topics a lot~little insight on me) just be heard with these waterfalls of words that just make sense and seems so extra&lt;em&gt;ordinary&lt;/em&gt; (hmm that has ordinary right in the name) I am not simple by far... but i just want to have what i say be understood and i'm not expectecting to understand the whole world...but as i find little understandings in it i feel like little by little i understand me. Perfect moments for me are sitting back in a seat on the bus, my headphones in and just wtahcing everything fly by to the beat of the music. Which reminds me, i came up with a quote just sitting there, so i grabbed some paper and wrote it out...tell me what you think "Our bodies live to a beat, therefore music is within all of us." This is getting very long and i know i drag things on..so i'll end it on a note of a quote(hehe a rhyme) "if we got everything we deserved, I wouldnt have you"..think about that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3176343636872414953-5723872692556711191?l=pure-rain.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pure-rain.blogspot.com/feeds/5723872692556711191/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3176343636872414953&amp;postID=5723872692556711191' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3176343636872414953/posts/default/5723872692556711191'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3176343636872414953/posts/default/5723872692556711191'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pure-rain.blogspot.com/2008/05/for-now-its-gonna-be-just-me.html' title='for now its gonna be &quot;just me&quot;'/><author><name>Emily</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13283629992255920879</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_70EAQczryz8/SBxkKnaBvtI/AAAAAAAAAAM/e9vikw8tfXk/s72-c/dsm01437hstcrpdf2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
