Angel - Sarah McLachlan

Only the best part here. I really love the first verse. Comments from me are italicized, and do not apply to the song.

"Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it ok
There's always some reason
To feel not good enough (Ain't that the truth)
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty and weightless (good god, if only I could be empty)
And maybe I'll find some peace tonight

(Chorus)
In the arms of the angel
Far away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here"

I remember when this song became popular it was right about the time of the Columbine shootings. I can't hear that song without thinking of the kids I knew and the parents and the lock downs at our own school. Crazy. Those kids did it on April 20th, Hitler's birtday.

My step-grandma lived a couple blocks away from the school. I used to live there.
I think I was too old to have went there, but my sisters might not have been. I think it was almost a year later that the shootings at Springfield happened, and I remember going to work and just being completely astounded that that could happen here in Oregon.

But, I guess that is what everyone thinks...."It can't happen here".
Yeah, right.

Anonymous no more?

I might have to stop the anonymous comments. Apparently the only people who leave them are going to form snap judgements of me based on how I look, and since I can't go and read their blog or anything, it really doesn't seem far, since I can't even try to read their stuff and see if they are reasonable people. I have to assume that they are jackasses. What follows is the wonderful comment I read right before I left work yesterday and my response. I should have been the bigger person (HAHAHA!) and not said anything cause of course they replied again.

Today is the day, we break free.

Today I am 26 and 50 weeks and one day old. Which means in two weeks it will be my birthday. That's really what I was getting at, LOL. You know how people on TV are always having their birthdays forgotten? Not me, I inform people on an almost daily basis that it will be my birthday soon. There is no way they could forget. I look at birthdays like a special time for me. And I am all about me. Obviously. I hope the weather is like today on my birthday. I like rain in spurts. I like how fresh everything smells and I really hate it when it's too hot. I'm not sure how I was a summer baby, what with this hatred of heat. I work early that morning to get out of here early. Maybe go home and put some make up on and be lazy about getting ready. In any case, I will make it a good day. (I'm slightly embarrassed by this and NO ONE WILL MENTION IT EVER AGAIN, just so you know, but it's my blog and I feel the need to share.) Last night I spent entirely too much time checking out...
