Friends Forever @ MindSay

Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. Work work work work. It's driving me past insanity. Tim was meant to be working for another week but not anymore. He's quit for good. So now I only have one other co worker souly in confectionary. For the other shifts (ie, weekends as my casual has a grandchild), I'm going to have to relly on my co workers around my section, and casuals. Christmas casuals don't come into effect til November. Late November. Fuck.

To other pathetic news, 4 days. I know that's sad. It hasn't even been two. But as said, what am I going to do for fun this weekend? Butt head.

And I miss you Reni. Lots and lots and lots. Can't wait til you're back in Canberra again cos it's awefully quiet without you... How many more sleeps?

The memory is an interesting part of a person, inside their mind is supposably every moment of their life pretty much, stored away.. waiting to be read. Wouldn't it be amazing to open up everyone like a book and read what they have to say? Read about their experiences, about what they have seen and heard?

A fear of memory is the loss of it.. and sometimes it's what people remember..

College started on a bad note, during the christmas break between, feeling too old for high school and overly excited, but scared of this new start a devastating occurance happened, leaving many, encluding myself with memories that we may never forget and experiences that will forever probably change some of my friends forever. Losing houses and friends was tough but the first day we strolled into college feeling fresh, mature and overall I think relieved that it wasn't as scary as we thought it would be.

I walked into this large new place and straight away Candy caught my eye, we ran up and hugged, my best mate was excitedly searching around the crowed.

"Look at all the hot guys!!" She whispered to me excitedly.

It was true there were alot of guys and they weren't that bad looking either, but then again that could of been just us being toey little teenage girls!

It didn't take long for Candy to pick out one that she liked, and flirted with.. He quickly returned the signals, and so begins the proof that looks can be lies.

Alas this fella, who seemed so cute and innocent.. had a girlfriend.. Just like every cute and innocent fella. This was something that we seemed to be learning over and over again. Looks Can Be Lies..

By the end of the first week we'd made many new friends, some of us had started planning our futures and the rest of us we're enjoying this new freedom.

The story opens with a reckless fight between the New Warriors, filming a reality television show, and a cadre of villains in Stamford, Connecticut. The battle goes awry for the heroes, resulting in villain Nitro creating an explosion that takes out a local school, the surrounding neighborhood, and all but one of the Warriors. This event catalyzes a government movement to register all super-powered beings as living weapons of mass destruction. The event also turns public opinion against superheroes, as many of them are blamed for the incident. Due to this, many superheroes -- most notably Johnny Storm the Human Torch -- are attacked in public by angry civilians. Meanwhile, S.H.I.E.L.D. tries to recruit Captain America to become part of the team that will force superheroes to register. Cap refuses, and after being attacked by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents for non-compliance, goes underground, perhaps to become the figurehead of the Anti-registration movement. Iron Man, on the other hand, supports the act and tells the government to leave Captain America to him and the other Pro-registration heroes.

The act is soon passed, and a day later Captain America and the Falcon, of Captain America's underground resistance, rescue the Young Avengers from a S.H.I.E.L.D. prison convoy. They bring the teen superheroes to an secret facility that Nick Fury has allowed them to use. Meanwhile, Peter Parker, after deliberating with his wife, Mary Jane Watson and Aunt May, unmasks himself to an audience of the world press, showing his full support for the registration act. This action causes J. Jonah Jameson to faint, as the thorn in his side for so many years was right under his nose.

Civil War: Front Line #1 indicated that all of the New Warriors team but Speedball perished in the Stamford incident and Speedball was arrested right after regaining consciousness in the hospital

In Civil War #2 Spider-man reveals himself to the public, telling them he has been Spider-man since he was fifteen.

Isn't that crazy there?  Crazy huh? I'm kind of against it but then again kind of for it with Peter Parker revealing his identity. The reason why Spider-Man chose so is that he's the everyday guy. Goes to school, has figure out how to make money, lost may people including Uncle been and first true girlfriend Gwen Stacy. So it was kind of a huge part for them to do that. Then I not really for it because it's Spider-Man! And it's kind of one of the most popular characters. It's nice seeing him in a very new setting but to reveal his Identity eh. @_@ Have to keep reading I can't wait for next issue.

I also do read DC Comics as well. Batman & Superman. there was a very recent comic that caught my eyes. I went to the comicbook store to keep up with what was going on and everything, and to pick up my comics I haven't had. there was a particular one I was reading up on in a magazine and there it was on the stands. It was Batman and Superman number 26. What's so special about this issue for me to pick it up. It's done by Sam Loeb. Yeah yeah I know you're like yea soooo. The thing is it made me think of two other people I actually know through here on Mindsay. Karolyn Dyinggasp and her friend who past away recently Natalie. Sam had cancer and had also been fighting it for three years. it's so sad that these people I've just heard recently are not even older then me, however they lived their lives more than anyone, I wish we could learn that instead knowing life's coming to an end for us you know? It's funny how I read this comic he did. It's about pretty much Robin telling the death of Superboy (Inifinite Crisis I talked about this before) But it was an episode where Robin and Superboy were together and were to find somneone. And they get into trouble like the teenage boys since they are, so it turns out to be a very funny funny comic and all the cool action. There were so many people working on this comic it was amazing. I mean people I've been reading for like more then half my life was doing artwork for this comic. If you really want to be inspired and have something to smile about. This comic is really a must get. Of course they have a little sad story of Sam at the end of this comic but left with some very encouraging words.

"Your destiny does not lie in a hospital bed. Far greater achevements are to come.
Own your destiny. Best friends, best doctors, best outlook, no worries."

One last thing! ^_^ haha can't let you go so easily. At the bottom of these are the trailers to the Marvel Civil War comics. Is'nt that crazy comics now practically have their own movie trailers @_@.

Marvel Civil War Trailer #1

Happy Friendship Day Katelin !

I am here, sitting at the computer, just having a million and one things going through my mind, but seriously, all I can think of is Katelin. It was exactly one year ago today that I met someone who I never would have believed that we would be a great of friends as we are now.  She is the most perfect best friend a girl could ask for. I need to explain myself a little more, as to we met, and why I believe we met.

As some of you may or may not know, a year and a half ago, my best friend, Michael decided to stop talking to me for no apparent reason. I was distraught, broken, alone and hurt so deep, that I believed that I would be alone in this world, with no friend like that again. Of course I had Genio, he would be there for me through thick and thin, but this was my best friend. We shared everything together, but it was gone in an instant. 8 years of friendship just vanished before my eyes. Three months had passed, and I was still broken. This happened at the beginning of June, and around the middle of June, another friend of mine told me about this place called Mindsay. I had been searching around for the best place to host a website, and I had a Xanga, but was unhappy with it, and I settled here. It was a perfect fit. It was a place for me to talk. Talk to people and for people to hear me. But it was not for another 6 months that I would be alone, and with this feeling over my head that there would never be another best friend for me in the world. Deep, deep in my heart, I always believed that what had happened with him and I would just fade away, and go away, but I did not. I think a part of me still wishes that, no matter what anyone says, but that is something I have to keep hidden, and to myself. I had to teach myself to be strong and move on. So, after having my blog for about 6 months, I went this girl named Lauren. She was awesome. And I always say on her blog history that there was this person ‘seekingclarity’ always there. I instantly felt a connection to it, since it had the word ‘clarity’ in it. And that being a John Mayer song, yeah, you get the picture! ;) Anyway, I got to know ‘seekingclarity’ and more and more I found we had a general interest, and that being, the ever so amazing Mr. John. Mayer. It was not after a few weeks, it came up in the comments that Lauren was actually Katie’s sister, and I had never known that. So, really, me and Katie and friends because Lauren. I will always be thankful for Lauren for that. I was thankful for her coming to my blog, for me having the instinct of going to Lauren’s blog and then clicking on Kate’s link, and voila. I wonder where Lauren got the link for my blog? Anywho that is not the point. The point is that it was over this love we both shared for John Mayer that we got to know each other a lot more, and trusted each other more and more with things, personal, social, emotional, physical and everything shared together. It was always as if, we were two people who were meant to be. I know it might sound cheesy, but I don’t mean it in any way by that. I will make a confession right here, right now. I prayed for 6 months straight for God to give me a sign that I will be okay. I believe, in every bone of my body that He helped me, and then I met Kate. God helped me feel whole again by granting me the chance to be friends with her. My life changed when we started talking more and more, and then added each other to MSN and exchanges phone numbers and addresses. It was all so much fun to feel this instant connection with someone what you felt so comfortable with so fast. I never hesitated telling Kate anything that was going on in my mind.  I trusted her so much with everything that I was. I so needed someone like her. She is perfect.

Let me tell you about Kate. She is in her last year of high school. She has a shit load of lip glosses. She loves a lot of music. She loves John Mayer. She wants to be an eye doctor. She loves reading and she loves books. Her favourite author is Dean Kootz. I bought two books by him, just because she said that he was a great writer, and he is! She is allergic to a lot of food. She has two siblings and a half brother. She loves her Daddy. She works in a movie theatre. She loves John Mayer. Her new found hobby is taking photographs of awesome things. She never really likes having her picture taken, but when she does have it take, she turns out magnificent in them. She loves to write. She has been woman of the month for 2 months. She is extremely smart. She loves being silly. She loves the stuff I have sent her in the mail. She framed some of the black and white 8 by 10 black and while photographs I took last year in my photography class. She gets sick frequently. It breaks my heart when I hear she is sick with all them dam infections. I wish I could take them away for her. She has a tattoo. She loves food. Especially Mexican. She loves being random, just like her sister. She loves movies. She loves pink nail polish, or polish for that matter. She loves John Mayer. She loves all kinds pets. She had two dogs and a cat, which are totally adorable. A lot has happened in her life, but she is one hell of a strong person, and she is still standing and she will continue to stand because she is amazing. I could go on and on about what I know about her. But there was a time I thought I lost her.

It was around the end of April of this year, and early May. Some stuff happened over there, in her life, and it was a not so good time with her. I tried everything that I could to be as much as a friend to her as I possibly could. She birthday is March 19. I had not sent out her birthday gift yet, since I was still searching for all the best and awesome things to put in this box to make sure that she had one HELL of a birthday present.  So, anyway, she stopped talking to me. I was devastated. I could not believe that it was happening to me again. I was so broken by Michael, that I never wanted it to be with her and I. I did everything that I could to get her to talk to me. But nothing. I felt the pain and the sadness in my heart. There were only two people who knew about this, Genio and my friend Jade. No matter what anyone said to me, this was something I had to battle, and try to win. But I felt like I was getting nowhere. My birthday is May 31, and I thought that maybe, just maybe she would send me an e-mail for my birthday, but nope. I was about ready to explode from the feelings that were inside me. It was getting to a point where I could not handle the sadness anymore. But I always put on the strong face for everyone. But there were times where I just broke down crying in Genio’s arms because I did not want to lose Katelin. So, within that time frame, I had finialized her present and I had it sitting in my room in the box and everything, ready to send it off to her. But I was afraid. What if I send it, and she throws it in the garbage? Or her Dad sees it and says who the fuzz was Danielle. So many thoughts were going through my mind. But, I sent out the package. I had mixed feeling. But I waited and I waited and I waited for word from her. Then, one day, I checked my e-mail, and there it was, an e-mail from Kate. I saw the name in my inbox and I began to cry. I was listening to Kelly Clarkson “You Found Me” at the time, and I found how the lyrics fit so perfect to what we were about and how I found her and how she found me. I read the e-mail, with no word of a lie, millions of tears streaming down my face. I finally had heard from her. I tried talking to friends of Kate’s friend who were on Mindsay. I tried every measure to get to her to let her know I missed her so much. It was a difficult time, and it took a few days to get back the sadness that we both had. When she started to talk to me again, I was so happy. I got the one person back into my life that helped me learn to be strong. I only wish I could do the same for her.

I care about Kate so much. People frown down upon long distance friendships like this. I know that my parents at the beginning could not believe that I was giving myself to Kate and telling her things that I had not told anyone before kind of thing. I told my parents about Kate and how we had made a close relationship and that we had been talking for a long time and that we wanted to exchange addresses. I had to ask. And I did. My Dad was like “are you sure you want to do this?” and I said “yes, with all my heart. She is my best friend”. He said alright, and there it was. I talk about Kate in my house all the time. My Mom asked about her, Krystyna asks about her and Allie too, and my Dad too :P I always wish that Kate could live next door to me. But then again, when I think about it, I would never have the chance to miss her so much that when I see her online I just right out of my skin. I would wait for hours for her to come online, just so that I could talk to her. Talking to her makes me so happy that I want to scream at the top of my lungs. (ten points for anyone who can same the song that lyric is from) I can recall the first time I talked to her on the phone. OH her voice =) it’s just too precious for words. It was an incredible feelings having her live, right there, sitting or standing and just talking to me. She took the time out of her day, to be there and talk to me. It was an incredible feeling. I love really talking to her. I love the way she says my name. I love her laugh.

I love you Katelin. I love all of the great stuff we have done. I love all the great stuff we are doing. I love all great stuff we will be planning to do. My life has changed so much in one year, and one of the things I am most proud of is you. You are a beautiful girl, extremely smart and amazing and just so warm to everyone. I can sit here and tell the world how much I care about you, and just how much you mean to me, but I will say this. You are and forever will be the best I go to when I need laughs, love, support, someone to make me smile, to cry with, to be a girl with. One day, when the time dictates, we will meet. And I will be able to see your face right in front of mine, and I can do the one thing that friends do all the time and underestimate it… is hug. One day I will hug you and everything will just melt away. And it will be you, me and John Mayer playing in the background with the smell of our 7 thousand cakes in the oven. God has blessed me with an another angel in my life. You. You make me so happy, so proud, so loved, so everything. You are my everything. You are everything a girl could want in a friend. No matter what has happened to you or me or us, I want you to know, I will always be here for you, no matter where life takes you. Even if we don’t talk to days or weeks or months, it never means that I don’t think about you. I think about you all the time.

I know in my heart we will see each other face to face, and it will be the most amazing moment ever. Why? Because I get to see my best friend in the whole wide world.

You.

Happy Friendship Day!

I love you so much beautiful!

Have a great day and remember…
