Day ahead of you Lauren!

Lauren oh Lauren
You're nothing but a funny
You may be clumsy and stupid
But I love ya cuz you give me money!

Alicia oh Alicia
We didn't know that one
But what we do know is
that you're a heck a lot of fun!

Parry oh Parry
You carry on that name
Until you get married, let's just hope
That your husband is opposite to you - sane!

Well this is Lauren y'all...

She's crazy...but I love her heaps! We've had some funny times, some bad times, some awesome times, some sad times, some hysterical times, some crazy times, some momentry times, some random times, some confusing times, some ... I think you get the picture!

I'll tell ya a little story bout how me and Lauren met (Well, How I remember it!)
She came round one time when we were YOUNG...and I mean young...probably a bit younger than this age...

So anyway...me and Lauren were writing christmas cards to people - With my best christmas children's note paper may I add!...on my red table and chairs...

And Lauren wrote a christmas card...and showed it to me...with an envelope to open and all the trimmings. I was so discusted with what it said inside...it said this...

Dear Lauren

Merry Christmas

Love Lauren
xx

I was so unbelievably angry at her...that I wouldn't let her write anymore Christmas cards, and as soon as she left...I ran upstairs and ripped the card up in the toilet and flushed it away...then went and cried my eyes out!

Now we argue for other stuff...possibly stupid...but not as stupid as that whole Christmas card dealio back a few years!

But Lauren's brought me through some hard times...and still is. I know I can always go to her for a shoulder to cry on, someone to get me thinking about something else - but confuse me at the same time, someone to just chill with, someone to go for money (:P). But nah seriously, Lauren...there's only one you in the world, and I'm so lucky to have ya hun. You're awesome and you're a real blessing to me.

You're doing great with your flute in church hun and you're a real inspiration.

Just incase I'm ever snobbing you again...y'kno that I love ya.

You're in my prayers.

Ace ya exams girl!

xx

Oh, and for the rest of y'all...if your eyes aren't all teary eyed from this heart touching post...check out Lauren's blog. Just click here...no here...not that one!...HERE!

Mrs Original

I've been thinking about myself recently. A lot. How different and unique I am. And each time I think about it...I get deeper and deeper in awe of how undescribably different I am to everyone else.

Sure there are gonna be things that I do or feel the same as other people...but there's no other Hat. There's no other me in this world. Wanna know some things that make me me?

I love sitting watching comedies with my dad late at night. Like; Lee Evans, or the Two Ronnies, My hero, My Family.
I love listening to cheesy old love songs. Like; Raindrops Keep falling on my head - B.J Thomas, Will you still love me tomorrow - The Shirelles
I love awesome scenery. Like; Sunsets, Sunrise's, Stars, Fireworks.
When I'm down or upset, the thing that makes me better...is making someone else feel better.
I love just sitting in silence and people watching.
I love taking pictures of family, friends and other things that just make me smile.
I love being happy and being myself with Ben and Nicola.
I love the fact that my family are too scared to ask whats up when I'm upset.
I love the fact that I get comfort from my dog snooring under my feet.
I love it how a cup of tea calms me down.
I love how I cry at stupid programs like Neighbours, Friends, Hollyoaks, Scrubs and movies.
I love the way my hair is never perfect.
I love my taste in music.
I love how I have so much faith in everything and everyone...but not in myself.
I love how my face tans in one day, but my body is as white as a white magnum.
I love how I have such a passion for you.
I love how my voice changes...from good to crap.
I love how I can laugh at myself along with friends and family.
I love that I'm me...and I don't have to be anyone else.

'You're born an original, Don't die a copy.'
John L. Mason

Love to all me homies

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a Godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season!

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

This is our chance

Open up your arms
Let me see your light
Guide me through the forest
Of my daunting life.
Tomorrow is another day
Giving me the chance to seek you
So as I sing this song
Bring me to your throne.

This is our chance to surrender
To give our all
This is our chance to surrender
To see it through

We can only suceed
With your strength
So walk with us daily
And sit with us as we pray
We don't know where our path goes
Where our tracks lead us
Where our road wonders
But you've promised to show us the way

This is our chance to surrender
To give our all
This is our chance to surrender
To see it through

Rosie Posie Nana Head

Discovering that no-one reads this ol' thing, instead of stopping...I'm gonna carry on! Cmon life...throw ya best at me...you just watch and see, i'll bat it right back at ya!

So things are starting to look up. Gotta job lined up for the summer, finished school, got exams coming, God stuff's awesome, I'm just happy...except when I'm not.

Someone who has really encouraged me is my friend Rosie. We haven't been that close for a while, but she's still awesome. A couple of months ago, she asked me if she could come to church...she wanted to know more...and I was shocked cuz I hadn't really been salt and light, or told her much about church...only all the gossip probably!!! And so she came along to youth one night...and enjoyed it. She chatted to people she'd never met real well and she just had fun. She came along to church the next week...she had to get there for 9am with Andy (an hour and a half before church actually starts) and she started to help set up the bomb! No questions asked! The next sunday...she gave her life to christ! And I was a bit gutted to miss it (shouldn't be singing in the main I knew it!!!!!) but she gave her life. And she's so involved, she's having fun and she's making new friends! It's been such an encouragment to me...so thank you Rose...you're awesome. xx Blim!

Cream Jelly and pie is the way to say goodbye

So, I never thought I'd be posting this kind of post...and I do feel the guilt wrapping itself upon me.

I could be giving up blogging.

Random Person 1: No! Did she really say that? :O

Random Person 2: Oh my gosh! I think she did...what has the world come to?

Random Person 1: I'm in such a state of shock, I'm just gonna have to keep reading that sentence over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again until my brain decides to process the words so that it makes gramatical sense in my central sulcus.
Random Person 2: *silence* ... yes well, erm...wait...I've found a flaw in her sentence...'I Could be giving up blogging.' - HA! She's doing it just to scare us!

Missharwood: and my explanation of that would be...I'm not bored or fed up of blogging, but I'm just always doing stuff and I'm always busy so I have no time. And when I do have time...It just ends up of a boredom post like this...so...posts could be slow, comments on other blogs could be slow. And I just feel blogging and reading other blogs just doesn't do much for me. I'm still around, but if you wanna know where my heads at, see how I'm doing and any of that cream jelly, then just email me y'all...you know what to do at the end of the beep.

His song to you.

You never dissappointed me
Sweet little child.
You never hurt me
Precious son of mine.
You never wronged me
My little brother.

You did what you and I agreed was best.
We talked about it together.
Focused our hearts on the future.
And I made you strong.
Keep coming to me.
Don't run away.
Run to me.

You never shamed me
My beautiful daughter.
You never shocked me
My loving friend.
You never wronged me
My little sister.

You did what you and I agreed was best.
We talked about it together.
Focused our hearts on the future.
And I made you strong.
Keep coming to me.
Don't run away.
Run to me.

I smile at you everyday.
When you wake up, I shine the sun on your glorious day.
I walk with you everyday.
Through your toughest decisions you've made.
I speak to you everday.
Through the most unexpected ways.

You did what you and I agreed was best.
We talked about it together.
Focused our hearts on the future.
And I made you strong.
Keep coming to me.
Don't run away.
Run to me.

You heard my cry

I felt unsafe, even though I was with the safest people.

In and out, in and out.

Was this the end? - I was thinking.

I wanted someone to hold me, and they were.

But too tight, they had too much control over me.

I wanted out, breath after breath.

I couldn't stop, wirling and swirling.

I was helpless, they cagged round me.

Theres was no way out, dragging me every way.

Left, right, back, forward, down, under.

I was trapped, being bullied almost.

They stood there, laughing, pointing.

Thinking I was having fun, but inside I was crying out for your hand.

And you helped me, thank you.

You took away my fear, pulled me out the trap.

Held me in your arms, and took me to safety.

You heard my cry.

Don't wanna stay inside

And may had arrived. Let's all welcome it...*round of applause* wooohooo *women screaming ahhhh, i want your babies may!* erm...okay *group of teen girls ahhhh, we love you may we...* woah! okay...let's leave that one alone!

Yeah, so anyhoo...May's back for another time in my life! woohoo! It'll be the 15/16th one...can't quite work it out. Let's try...I'm 15 now - but my birthday is in may, (my 16th of course...and no, not my 21st im afraid!)...but it's at the end. So yup, I'm totally confused as to whether it's my 15th or 16th of MAY. Someone tell me! Give me sanity may!

Exams start in 20 days now. Well, technically they start in 4 hours, 26 minutes and 15 seconds. But it's just an oral...and no-one really cares about them. (Except me) - but I'm not important when it comes to this blog.

Lets go some count downs (I actually just put 'count days')...

Study Leave starts in 9 days, 6 hours, 38 minutes and 48 seconds. Yussss! Actually...Why am I saying 'QUOTE: Yussss!'? I don't wanna leave! I know I won't have much motivation to revise and I prefer learning stuff when teachers teach me! Not when I teach me! Flip...I can't even tell the time! How am I gonna cope?!

And then theres my favourite: Let's Go. Which starts in 11 days, 5 minutes and 30 seconds. Now that I can say 'QUOTE: Yussss!' to! woot woot

May Camp Count Down...Which I'm gonna call the MC Count Down. 23 days, 14 hours, 27 minutes, 43 seconds. minus about 1 hour to put the tent up...yeah, you got it Iz...6 man all to us! rock on!

And then last but not least my birthday. I wouldn't normally count this down...as I'm not as sad as someone I'm not going to mention...

Count down: 28 days, 14 hours, 25 minutes and 50 seconds.

So y'all leave ya love as I love y'all peace.

Just incase you didn't get it...here's my may tribute

May
Oh what a beautiful summers day
When we all turn gay
Oh no wait, thats the hay!

May
From little miss tray
Just show your friend fay
The way...

May
No its not june
And no its not a prune
Its just beautiful May.

May...
May...
May...

SUP.
