i bet your teacher can look out the window JUST FINE!
>:(
jevad, sometimes these kind of feelings are because you have too much "must do's" in your life and too little "want to do's". Maybe some internal spring cleaning followed by a weekend of getting away will help refresh your internal PVN.
and for the record, i know that the "do's" shouldn't have apostrophes, but i kept reading them as DOS, so it's my creative liberty to modify it.
hi, i'm mayo and i'm a grammar nerd.

flowers are all dead. i wish they weren't but they are.

sounds like you had a good one para!
On jevad's topic, my report cards changed from getting the "Able To Dress Oneself" box proudly ticked at age 5, to the deputy head of my school telling my parents at 13 that i was the biggest liar he'd ever met, and telling me that i'd never amount to anything (that was cos i got suspended for a week for spiking the coke with bourbon at a religious end-of-term party). Funnily enough that deputy head got sacked a year later for having an affair with one of the religious teachers who was supposedly "married to god", whilst his wife was in hospital with cancer. I guess he must have been going through a difficult period.
Also 2 years ago i had a bit of a jevad moment and thought "who can i remember first encouraging my creative side as a kid?" and i remembered this teacher i had when i was 8 - she'd held up something i'd worked on for ages and said it was wonderful and told the whole class i was the "official class artist" *bless!* - things like that make such a difference when you're a kid. i think that was one of the first times i started to think of myself as "a creative"!
anyway i found her address online and wrote her a letter saying thanks and telling her what i'm up to. got an email back saying she'd just retired and was feeling all depressed until my letter arrived, it was nice to let her know that she made a difference in my life.

okay now this is going to be one of the more cheesier posts i make:
if the flowers are dead, just remember that they will either grow back or you can replant.
I've done a major weeding in my life and the flowers are starting to come up more beautiful and sweeter smelling. They are coming in slowly, but i can see them coming in.

cool story vespa.
it strikes me how different the comments on report cards in the UK vs. US. It seems that my report card commentswere always fairly standard, such as, "Not working up to potential" and things like that. But damn, UK comments are pretty specific. "Biggest Liar" "Smells Bad" "Horrible Dresser"...
=P

well the plan the seeds...modern life is bullshit..we create our own holes and idealize the exotic far away places...when all we need is to care for the peopl that surround us...no one said its not messy..in fact its never gonna be perfect...thats why relationships scare me i turn away and shut out people...but being the stupid dreamer that i am...i cant help give my all at times...and when i do...it gets broken.
but one can never give up hope.
plant new flowers :)
dream out loud.

salisae:
it interests me that whenever I read your posts I remember your post about you father's pursuit, and it fascinates me. It makes me think a little more about your posts and who you are. I find it incredibly interesting for some reason. I imagine you to have something to say that I would like to hear.

stories of hope are nice to hear.
i consider myself to be a pessimistic-optimist and have plenty of hope for many things. but more often than not, it is hard to look through all the bullshit and still feel that the flowers will grow back.

haha gruntt that was in australia actually, and it was before computerised reports after which they all became standard sentences year after year
- mrdobolina0
is it me, or are all of the cool folks in the pvn tonite?
- gruntt0
i bet teachers really miss the days before computerized reports, back when they could really let the kids have it.
i wish i had some of my old report cards. i can't imagine my mother saved them, not exactly "proud moments"
- zedvox0
except you foo. :)

that hurt my feelings, I am a very fragile creature.
