Have you ever been alone in a crowded room when I'm here with you?

Have you ever been alone in a crowded room; well I'm here with you...

"And she takes another step
Slowly she opens the door
Check that he is sleeping
Pick up all the broken glass and furniture on the floor
Been up half the night screaming
Now it's time to get away
Pack up the kids in the car
Another bruise to try and hide
Another alibi to write"

Well, at least the MUN conference was pretty interesting. This time we got to ride in a coach to and from St. Catharine... the seats were more comfortable to sleep on. Congratulations to all the winners.

Ugh, I can't stand cake. Picture your typical layered cake... about 3 layers of cake with cream in between.... or 3 layers of cream with cake in between, whichever you prefer. It's not like it tastes bad. My taste buds are fine with it, but my stomach can't take it.

I hope everyone enjoyed their Valentines Day. I was just thinking, I'm sure we're all aware by now how commericalized holidays tend to become. People say that Christmas and Valentines and all these other holidays are all about money nowadays. Now this is true. I think it'd be stupid to argue that it's not. But is it really such a bad thing? I mean, if we take Valentines Day for example. Sure florists and chocolate shops take the oppotunity to jack up prices and make lots of profits, but like, they do it because people are willing to spend that extra bit of money once in a while and find an excuse to make a fuss over something (or nothing). I think it's a nice break from routine and who couldn't use that once in a while? Thoughts people?

"Dean, stop!"
"Why?!"
"Because I love you, you idiot!"

I remember being told that Valentines Day was originally created to keep young guys and girls apart, not draw them together. I can't remember exactly where I got this tidbit of information... probably from Uncle John's Great Bathroom Reader or something. That series is loaded with random, non related facts that sometimes come in handy... apparently 85% of educated people read while defecating. You all probably didn't want to know that but I'm telling you anyway in case any of you become teachers someday and want something to say to break the ice with your future students. Then again, if the first thing your future students hear is that 85% of educated people read while defecating, it might create an odd impression (especially if you're an English teacher and they've bought loads of books to read for the curriculum). But people often form odd impressions about their teachers anyway so it won't hurt your reputation any... unless you're aiming to form a good reputation. But you can always make up for that by being a good teacher. Isn't that what you're supposed to be anyway? I mean, that's what teacher's college is for right? Anyone can be a teacher... a B.Ed. is supposed to certify that you're a good teacher. So spread the news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way, happy Valentine's Day everyone.

So...

So... I read somewhere that 77 percent of all the mentally ill live in poverty. Actually, I'm more intrigued by the 23 percent who are apparently doing quite well for themselves living in society.

When all the sun shines down on you
Everyone's a lie but you're so true
You're symphonic, you're the light of the moon
How could I forget you?
You said...
Don't forget about me...
Don't forget about me."
-- Symphonic

Happy Chinese New Year everyone.
