Olympics 2006!

okay, so Canada lost to Russia 2-0 in the men's quarter final. Thats pathetic. Canadians are always boasting about thier hockey skills, and we don't even get a medal! At least we have the ladie's hockey gold medal to console us.

In woman's ice skating (the short program) Mira Leung did really well, broke 50 and her personal best. Her jumps (as always) were awsome and very well done. Her dance has improved alot along with her coereography. Now maybe this is club pride speaking, but I wpould have to say that her small amount of time at pheonix gymnastics helped a little bit with that. How do I know she went to pheonix gymnastics? she was in my group for a little while and was in my sister's group for a little while. She never wanted to do dance or any apperatuses, the only thing she realy wanted to do was tumble. She was awsome at tumbling to, at the little time she was with pheonix gymnastics, she learned how to do back tucks, front tucks, etc. and she was good at them. I would be lying if I said that her training as a slkater didn't help her, but it was an amazing feat in itself. While she was in my group I learned that she didn't really talk about ice skating much, I think she found it as a given, but we (my family and the group) learned of it by accident really.

It is really funny though that although Pheonix has had several people go on to be great, they never do it doing gymnastics. for example, Mira Leung with ice skating and Kristen Kiurk with acting.

Breast Cancer

One of the adults I know from pathfinders, Liliana, is a visiting guiding leader from Chilli (is that spelt right?) and has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She is going to have surgery to remove her right breast next week.

Gymnastics!

Okay, I was at a competition at Bowan Island, it was small (as in only 2 clubs were there), it was a half meet, beam and bars. I recieved a silver on bars, a gold on beam, and silver all around.

Gah! Homework!

Homework, homework, homework! everywhere I turn, homework! why do all the teachers pile on the homework at the same time!!! I'm going crazy! well........ more crazy than I already am! ;D

Do you ever dream?I do.

I dream sometimes, about how my life would be, if I was had such a radience, a beauty no one else had, if I was stronger, faster, and more flexable, if I was popular, If I was smarter, If I had more friends, if I had better friends, if I had a best friend, if more people liked me, if I could sing, or dance, or act, If I was more sporty or better at sports, If I was more girly, If I was more fashionable, If I had a secret talent, If I ever did anything wrong, If my tastes in things matched other peoples, If I was more confident, If I was braver, If I wasn't afraid of what others thought, If other people didn't have thier perceptions about me, If I was an only child, If I was the oldest child, the youngest, adopted, If I knew how to fight back, If my sisters/family didn't constantly tell me about what they think and in a way not allowing me to think my own thoughts, If they didn't stop telling me that I wasn't my own person, that I was more of part of the crowd, even when I couldn't be farther from it, If they could see that I am unique, if others could see that I'm unique, If I could allow myself to be more of myself, If I was a true christian/jewish/ or religious.

There are so many ifs out there it would take me forever to cover them all. But I know that my dreams or at least some of them could come true, but for now thats all they'll ever be.... dreams.

exert from a Midsummers Nights Dream

this is an exert that I know off the top of my head as I had to repeat it over 100 times to help my sister in a play a couple of years ago.


'Over hill, over dale,
Through bush, through briar,
Over park, over pale,
Through flood, through fire.
I do wander everywhere, swifter than the moons sphere,
and I serve her fairy queen,
to dew her orbs upon the green.
Her cowslips tall, her pensioners be,
in those golden coats, spots you see.
Those be rubies, fairy favors,
in those freckles live thier saviours.
Farewell thy lob of spirits,
I'll be gone.
Her fairy queen, and all her elves
come here and on.'

My World, My Mind

here I am.... A new blogger, oblivious to the many going ons. This here is now my space to post what I want to, when I want to. Finally my freedom to say what I normally can't. My space to use as I see fit. To get away fom all the percieved conceptions people have of me. To be who I wish I could be.It's my space to be myself.
