Change

I was thinking today. Every day brings change. Change can be good, change can be bad. But most people fear it, rather than listen to what its trying to tell them and let it use us.

See, change is trying to help us. Change is good, it gives us variety, interest and plain spice of life. But, we don't let the change work, rather we pick a boring job, have a schedule, aka "Wake up at 8 on the dot. If not, toss and turn until 8. Have banana yogurt and toast for breakfast. Go to work, do same thing as usual, have lunch at 12 on the dot, work until 3, go home, look after the kids, watch tv from 5 to nine, read, go to sleep at nine thirty ON THE DOT!" and that's your life. You get frantic cause Christmas is coming, so your schedule has to be altered.

It's totally barbaric! We need to let change change.

Have a splendid new year, and listen to change next time it attempts to speak to you. :)

6 reasons not to mess with kids (thanks Anne)

6 REASONS NOT TO MESS WITH CHILDREN

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said that it was impossible for a whale to swallow a human because although they are large creatures, their thoats are very small.

Then the little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.

Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it's physically impossible.

The little girl said, "When I get to Heaven I'll ask Jonah."

The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to Hades' Hideaway?"

The little girl replied, "Then you ask him."

*****

A kindergarten class was busy drawing pictures, when the teacher noticed that one little girl was working very diligently on her drawing.

The teacher asked the little girl what she was drawing, to which she replied, "I'm drawing God."

The teacher said, "But no one knows what God looks like."

Without missing a beat, the little girl said, "They will in a minute."

*****

A Sunday school teacher was discussing the 10 Commandments with her five and six-year-olds. After explaining the commandment about honoring thy mother and father, she asked if there was a commandment that taught you how to treat your brothers and sisters.

One little boy said, "Thou shalt not kill."

*****

One class had just had their picture taken, and the teacher was trying to convince them all to buy a copy of the group picture. She said, "Think how nice it'll be when you're all grown up and you can look back and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer' or 'There's Michael, he's a doctor'.

One small voice in the back of the room added, "And there's the teacher, she's dead."

*****

A teacher was explaining blood circulation to her class one day. She said, "If I were to stand on my head, all the blood would rush to my head. But when I stand upright, the blood doesn't rush to my feet. Why is that?"

One boy replied, "Because your feet aren't empty."

*****

A Catholic school set out some apples in the cafeteria during lunch time. They wanted to make sure the kids didn't take more than their share, so one of the teachers put a sign next to the apples that said "Take only one. God is watching the apples." There was a plate of cookies further down on the table, and one of the students put a sign next to the cookies that said "Take as many as you want. God watches the apples."


^^ Anne shared that with us on SAYS and it was just tooo funny! I just had to post it here! Its just hilarious!

Merry Christmas!

Wow, its already boxing day here in Australia. Yeserday was heaps of fun for my family. I got that pink phone I wanted, a new stereo system I can plug my iPod into, lipgloss, a Ptouch labeller, a few new cds, a new outfit and a few other bits and bobs.

What I'd like to know, though, is why everyone is so selfish and contaminated with jealousy and envy around this time of year. Christmas is the time for giving, not getting. We should feel a special emotion rising up, taking charge and overflowing with generousness, no selfishness.

Being selfish ruins you. No one else, hey they probably won't even realise it. Its up to you to make up your mind on your happiness, your fun and your emotions. No one else is going to make you happy and even if you had a billion dollars, you wouldn't be able to buy everything you want. Because money can't buy happiness.

SAYS, an amazing forum ( http://www.says-skills.com ) has voted moi, Shona, as 'Always Online' and I got an award for it too! How cool is that? OMG, I can't believe it!

Merry Christmas everyone and have a jolly good one too!

The MADhatter can see that with a bit of encouragement you could become a master of madness but it would take a lot of encouragement indeed. Locked inside you is a power that you keep hostage. The MADhatter has not got time for these games so tells you to lighten up and with a click of his fingers you find yourself back where you started, on the side of the magica riverbank.

~What kind of Christmas are You?~

You're the Fun Christmas! You probably prefer the multi-coloured lights to the white ones, and a plethora of all the different ornaments that you've collected to the set colour-scheme trees. Or maybe you don't use the traditional Christmas tree at all!

Holiday Symbol: The gingerbread man from Shrek! You're not the traditional gingerman, no, you're the gingerbread man who knows the Muffin Man, and is out to change the world. One pastry at a time.

Holiday Suggestion: Try out an old-fashioned tradition. It may seem outdated, but who knows? Maybe our ancestors knew a thing or two about celebrating. Or maybe you can put a modern twist on an old tradition! Like caroling with puppets.

Who is your HP Desiny? (extremely long results)

House: SlytherinBF: Draco MalfoyBeginning Its your first year at Hogwarts but youre in second year classes since you just transferred from a different school for witches and wizards. You were on your way to the train that was supposed to take you to school but you couldnt find the station. You were asking around and people just kept laughing at you. Finally an older kid in a weird colored striped scarf says What are you stupid? Huh? is all you can say. He sighs like he cant be bothered with this and says Just follow me newbie Then, just like that, he takes off pushing his luggage cart like hes in a chariot race. You can barely keep up with this rude boy but you follow him anyway. You gone by like three stations by now the numbers were getting bigger and bigger. Then with amazing precision the guy turns and starts heading right for a red brick pole. He must be insane, you think what is he trying to do kill me? Just as this thought was reaching your mind you see that the kid has disappeared and you are heading right for the solid pole, you skid youre feet along the pavement but its too late you brace yourself for contact squeezing your eyes shut tight. Youre eyes are still closed but you cant feel anything, oh no! you think, I must be dead! Thats when you hear it All aboard! You finally open your eyes and see the man shouting All aboard last train to Hogwarts! You shake a little but get on the train anyway, hoping someone could explain what just happened. As you pass through all of the train cars you observe all the people that could eventually become your classmates. Wow, you think, scarves must be popular at this school. Every cart you went through had people with the same colored scarves huddled together discussing and laughing. Each color of scarf seemed to have its own personality to match its wearer.Meeting You were beginning to think that you were never going to find a place to sit when at last you stumbled into a car with only a couple seats taken you sit down in an empty section and begin to study the other people in the car. First your eyes wander to the back of the car where you see three kids about your age. First you saw the girl she had brown scraggly hair, she was reading a book in a very concentrated way. There were two boys sitting next to her one had bright red hair and freckles he certainly did look a little strange as he was talking and eating chocolate toads at the same time, but the weirdest one in the group was the guy he was talking to. This one had very dark hair like the color of coal or something he had these wiry glasses that kind of fell off his nose and scar in the shape of a Z or maybe a lightning bolt or something like that. Then further up in the car were these three boys who also looked to be your age there were two heavyset boys laughing like idiots at something you hadnt heard. Then youre eyes wander and fall on what must be their leader. Man was he hot! He had white-blonde hair and a look on his face like a smirk or something his eyes were darting but you could still see the soul inside them. You decided to listen in on the conversation. Man that Potter, what a fool. the blonde said and as his cronies laughed he began to get even more into it. Ill bet he shakes in his boots every time he sees me coming! he said his voice raising.The trio in the back stop talking.This year Ill show that idiot Potter not to mess with Draco Malfoy! He was practically yelling now.Shut up Malfoy, you dirty snake! came a voice from the back of the car.The threesome had stood up and were all staring right at Malfoy. It was lightning boy who said it, you guess this must be Potter.Whatever happened next was like a flash, and the two boys were fighting becoming more and more vicious by the second. After a big struggle it seemed Potter had Malfoy pinned, but Malfoy punched him in the gut. Potter was weakened by this and Malfoy managed to get away. Then Malfoy jumped on him and got him in a headlock, Potter reared back and Malfoy was flung towards the back off the car. Once both boys had regained consciousness they charged at each other at full speed meeting in the middle. They were both standing there in struggle pushing against the other ones hands. From the look on their faces you knew this was no joke. You had to do something before one got killed and the whole car was expelled! The other bystanders certainly werent going to help. Potters groupies were busy with the redhead yelling thing like cmon arry give um whats been comin to um! chunks of chocolate toad flying out of his mouth. You at least expected the girl would have some sense but she was all like, Harry youve got to determine his weakness! Then there was Malfoys group they were yelling things like Come on Malfoy destroy him already! in totally idiotic ways. You began to frantically look about the car for something to stop those two. Youre eyes wandered to the snack cart, it would have to do. You picked up the stalest mooncake youd ever seen and hurled it at the two. It connected right with the dark-haired boys head and he was out cold. Had that mooncake just knocked him out? You begin to sweat. All eyes in the car turned to you , except for Harrys of course. Even Malfoy was staring at you forgetting all revenge plans he had had for Potter only seconds before. Then there was a click and the sound of a door opening. The snack cart lady came in. So this is where I forgot my-oh my gosh! she cried What happened? The girl began to tell a lie about how Harry had gotten train sick and banged his head on a hard seat. Everyone went along with this and Harry was escorted to the hospital car followed by his friends close behind. You finally look back at Malfoy and realize he was still staring at you. Are you okay? you ask him noticing the extent of his wounds for the first time. Finally pulling himself together he says in a suave tone, Oh Ill be alright. Though it could have been worse if it hadnt been for you. You turned a little red in the cheeks and looked away so he wouldnt see. Hey he says taking your hand, Wanna sit with us? You nod and he leads you over to their booth as if he were leading you to a dinner by moonlight instead of just some old train seat. You guys got to talking and instantly hit it off. He was so fascinating you barely even noticed the dirty looks you got from Harry and his friends when they returned from the hospital car.The Real Relationship Begins Its was about two and a half months into the school year. You had been sorted into Slytherin, and was surprised at the hostility between your classmates and the Gryfindors. So maybe we dont always play by the rules of the game, and that makes us awful? you think thats just unjust. Malfoy had always agreed with you on this, but why not? I mean he was your best friend after all. Anyway you were all getting papers back from your first big test on the history of magic, you got a B- pretty good, and then you look down to where there should be notes from the teacher but instead you see a note from someone else: Hey, (Enter name here) meet me after class, Draco. How does he do it? you wonder as you turn the paper over, thats when you find something you werent expecting, a pressed rose (one of your favorite flowers) taped to the back. All of a sudden you cant wait for class to be over. At last the longest period of your life ends and as the whole of the class files out leaving just you and Malfoy alone in the room. Dont you think we should get out of here before the professor comes back and finds us?, you ask. No, Ive got Crabbe and Goyle distracting him, besides its much more quiet in here. I guess youre right. you reply looked at your feet shyly. He puts his hand under your chin and brings your head up so youre looking straight into his eyes. Look (enter name here) weve been good friends for the past couple of months, but Id like to be more. You find yourself staring at that face as if it were a portal into a perfect destiny. What do you say, will you go out with me? Of course Draco you say. Good he says then I can give you this He pulls a rose bud out of his pocket and gives it to you. I put a spell on it so it wouldnt wilt he says in his most romantic tone. Wow, Drac- but you couldnt finish your sentence because he was already leaving a soft kiss on your lips. And like a rude alarm clock waking you up from a wonderful dream, the bell rang.The Proposal We will fast forward many years later to the day that you will graduate. Youre in class and everyone was being all sappy. You were looking but couldnt find Draco anywhere. Finally the bell rang and everyone went back to their rooms to get ready for the ceremony. You had just gotten into your forest green dress when you heard a knock on the door. You ran over to open it tripping on your dress on the way there. You swing the door open and you see Draco standing there already in his suit, he looked better than ever. He throws a big romantic hug on you and says, What happened to you? You look down and see that there is a big rip down the front of the dress. You start to blush but he says No I like it better that way and takes your hand. Where are we going? you say. The ceremony doesnt start for another two hours. He doesnt respond he just smiles and leads you down the hall and out of Hogwarts. Then he covers your eyes and says OK come on but dont peek When he finally takes his hand away you see that your at the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Why did you bring me here Draco? you ask surprised at where you were. Dont you think its nice? he asks. You look around and realize that it is kind of beautiful the way the trees reach toward the setting sun and the mystery beyond the edge didnt seem like anything awful but more like a destiny awaiting you. You finish taking in the scenery and turned to Draco who was staring at you the same way he had that first day on the train to Hogwarts. I have something for you he says and reaches into a nearby thicket bringing out the most beautiful ring youd ever seen. (enter full name here) I love you Ive always loved you ever since you walked into that blasted train car, will you marry me? you cant believe this, its the best day of your life. Yes! you yell, of course. Then you two began to kiss you kissed so long and passionately you missed the ceremony. Oh well.

What's your inner power? (Girls only sorry. Beautiful anime pictures, lengthy results)

Creativity- Your inner power is Creativity! Any of The Arts-music, dance, pure art, drama, creative writing-are your passion. You love the way you can control what happens to you and your life while you participate in any of The Arts, and you can push your emotions aside when you do so. You at times can feel very depressed and alone, and yet it only further fuels your love for your art. Life to you can often seem bitter and cruel, a world of darkness with only a few tiny flares of light, stretched out far in between one another. In a way youre confused with what you want in your life, and find it hard to trust people. Because of this people of the outside world see you as cold and uncaring, yet those who befriend you love you a lot, and know you are only very lonely and hurting. Boys are intrigued by your mysterious mask, and one day, one of them will reach passed your barriers and care for you the way you so desperately want to be cared for. Dont let the popular people get you down; you are a wonderful person, and without the creativity you bring the world, it would be a very boring place. Love yourself for who you are, for you are very special. Boy/Girl who will sweep you off your feet: A sweet, sensitive man/woman. The guy/girl who understands your need for being alone sometimes. Yet also someone who would do anything to protect you for being hurt, even if it means giving up their life. Your stone: Jade Your power: Dreaming/Imagination Your element: Dream A quote that applies to you: Dare to dream, dare to fly, dare to be the ever chosen one to touch the sky.

It's the worst around holidays. Everyone wants to quickly stuff their last chapter in before HPFF stops validating things (20th December-7th January) for Christmas break. So now, they have what, half a million, chapters they have to validate. They may halve that, seeing as many authors are trusted and so a quarter of a million chapters are there for a small amount of staff to validate before tomorrow!

Does anyone else feel annoyed by this queue? I realise that the queue is appropriate to keep the site good and clean and nice, but couldn't they get more staff or make it so that you can't post anything until 2 days after your last chap has been validated? That may clear the queues a bit. Or just find more TAs. Anything...

Sorry for this rant, but I've put something in that NEEDS to be up before Christmas and I can't say anymore because it's meant to be a surprise for someone.

I know that it seems ironic to talk about death at this kind of year. Even to me it seems strange, sad and unforgiving. But I feel like talking about it and the impact it has on lives. The sadness and the joy it can bring people.I'm going to share with you guys a post about how people recover and react to death I made on SAYS on October 9th.

Grieving is a necessary stage in everyone's lives. Whether they like it or not, they have no choice in the matter. When they come out of it, they are usually stronger, but at the same time more vulnerable and emotional.Men tend to hurt more when they grieve. They don't have our logical minds so they can't come to terms with it. But at the same time they are afraid; afraid of what else death can and will do, afraid of what would happen if you found out they were vulnerable and afraid that you would have no one to lean on. So they hide their emotion, which only makes it stronger.When you write grieving, don't overdo it. Maybe have a chapter of them grieving and later on in the story just have little references to it, about how they are going and what stages they are at.Grieving, like love, has several stages; The first stage is denial. They don't believe with what they are hearing/seeing and try to bring them back. They either can't or won't come to terms with the simple fact that death is death and it means the end of someone's life.The second is mental shutdown. They are suddenly overcome with shock and can't really think like they used to without thoughts of that person clouding their minds; they can't sleep and when they do they dream about it, they find themselves comparing other emotions with it etc.The third stage is mourning. They are quite emotional through this stage and don't want to do anything except see this person again. This stage often goes on for a month or so if they are very, very close to this person but much less if not.The fourth stage is acceptance. They accept that the person is not coming back. They realise that they shouldn't be hiding away. They also see that death is 'but the next great adventure'The fifth and final stage is indifference. They stop thinking about the death and only the happy times. They get on with life and try not to think about it.In all of these stages, except perhaps the fourth and fifth, the person is quite vulnerable and easy to scare. They might open up in the third, but probably not prior to it.

See, as I highlighted before death is strange and hard. And another thing I want to say is that death can bring Joy. Here, look at Rachel Joy Scott. She was the first person to be killed in the Columbine School Shooting, America's worst shooting ever, in 1999 on April 20th. Now, it was a tragedy and everyone absolutely hated it, but also joy was brought to lives who became Christians and who were inspired, even six years after the killings.

Death is hard to deal with, but it can be helpful. People need to realise that death isn't the end of the world; merely a new challenge it tries to bring. It's not that we shouldn't mourn, or that we shouldn't have sympathy for their family and close friends. It's a terrible thing to have someone ripped out of your life. But they should do this respectfully, and then get on with their lives later, knowing that that person is watching over them and that that person wants them to do well.

Dreams

Dreams are always there
No one dares to grasp them
If we decide to pursue them
Maybe then we shall be content

Tomorrow isn't a definite
Only a possibility. If we
expect it all, its not going to
happen. We need to grasp
Our chances each day,
as though it is our final
opening.

Dreams are important
We should all have some
If we don't, what would
we become?

Dominic

Hey everyone!

Yeah, so the guy I met again today was called Dominic. It's really weird- I don't have a single straight though about him. I think he's kind of cute, but then he's soo tall. He's brave, but then he's too daring. He's funny, but he doesn't reach his full potential. So I sort of have a half crush on him.

He handled my brother well though. Anyone who's met my brother shudders at his name. My brother (year two) beat up a year six kid. I'm not kidding. He is the rudest kid you've ever met, and I'm saying this as nicely as I can, and although I love him I seriously think I was adopted.

So, whenever my brother said something explicit or otherwise bad for the human ears to hear, Dominic picked him up, held him upside down and rocked him like a baby. It was funny... but I got him to stop. I do still love my brother, you know.

I think he was watching me the whole time. He's only 1.5 years older than me and I could sense this little prickly feeling. When I glanced at him, he was looking at me. It's so confusing. Is this right or is this wrong?

After all, I do have a little (okay a HUMONGOUS) crush on someone else- Noel, so I'm really confused. And then Josh is sweet. I've got a headache just thinking about it... I think I've turned into Hermione in Jessi's Complicated Hexagon.

Anyway, that's enough for now.

Rambles, Answers And Other Random Stuff

Hi everyone!

Yep, its me again. Okay, Anne asked me a question in her comment. Thanks for commenting, Anne, too. She asked me if I could use 'Iris' by 'The Goo Goo Dolls' in a Dramione songfic. Yes Anne, I'd be happy to, but I'll have to wait for my other projects to be finished first. But, Jessi, the lovely admin of SAYS, has one up on that song called 'I Don't Like You'. Check it out, its amazing!

I'm going to ramble now, so you can read it but you don't have to. Chocolate. Who doesn't like chocolate? I mean, it has so many purposes. It should be healthy too; it's made out of a vegetable, after all. The cocoa bean! Not to mention the fact that it is made with milk; full of calcium. Shouldn't it be on all our diets?

Sure, there is sugar, but that doesn't really matter, now does it? Who doesn't love sugar anyway? Chocolate should be in all our daily diets. Inspired by this, and dragonwriterhp (Crystal) from SAYS, I wrote a super short one shot for Dramione. http://www.perfectfanfiction.com/viewstory.php?sid=264 <<>

Today I should be meeting a guy I haven't seen for about three or four years. He was thirteen last time, so i'm expecting he's fifteen or sixteen. Freaky, I remember seeing this dude when he was six (just photos). Its weird ( Yes I am younger than him). He got me into Jesse McCartney, dare I say it Harry Potter and a lot of other things. But am I ready to see him again? Only time can tell...

OMG. He's here. G2g, bye!

Dreaming!

Hello everyone!

I'm Shona. Yeah, I'm starting yet another blog. Except this time I'm going to have about fifteen hundred times more posts. And if I don't, so help me, I will just start another one, and then another one and so on. :P

By reading this, you consent to not flaming with your comments, to not making fun of me, to not stalking me with the information you may or may not find out about me and you will not copy anything I post here, whether it be fiction, real life situations or anything else. Thank you, serious bit over.

Yes, I'm still writing. And Dramione is still my favourite ship! :) It'd be so OOC of me for it not to be. I put the first chapter of my latest fic, 12 Days Of Christmas through validation 5 days ago and am hoping my endless submissions might gain me TA status soon.

Okay, if I may be speaking gibberish to you, here is a translator. Dramione = the Harry Potter pairing Draco/Hermione. I write fanfiction; stories in JK Rowling's world with her characters on http://www.harrypotterfanfiction.com and http://www.perfectfanfiction.com and validation is the process where they look over your stories to make sure you aren't breaking any rules. TA status is when they trust you enough to not check your stuff.

I can't believe I'm actually going into highschool. Sure, our school is for littlies right through to year 12, but year 7 just seems so scary! Not to mention so much will be happening for me. And I thought getting Primary Dux was fast paced, rushed and scarily unexpected enough!

Last night I painted my nails a pretty silvery glittery colour. They go with every outfit I own, and seeing as School Holidays just started, I thought I might as well.

I finally worked out how to burn CDs with Itunes. No, I'm not doing anything illegal; just putting songs I've bought off the itunes store onto CDs so I can listen to them in my bedroom. I've gotta tell ya, I do love the Goo Goo Dolls.

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

Iris is such an original song; so out there and so sad. It shows in this verse.

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
And you bleed just to know you're alive

Wow, I love that song...

Okay, wow, I'm gonna get back to SAYS. Seeyah everyone.

Till next time.
