Madame Butterfly

^is indifferent, like me

BTW, MB, what does my voice sound like now?

 

Um...........still hear it like Suzy, sorry.

^ doesn't like Madonna.

^looks like Madonna

Thanks Chi.

I must say, until I saw you, I always imagined the voice to go with your avatar to be like Suzy's on Rugrats. :blush 2:

Linkin park-somewhere i belong

(when this began)

I had nothing to say

And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me

(I was confused)

And I let it all out to find

That I’m not the only person with these things in mind

(inside of me)

But all that they can see the words revealed

Is the only real thing that I’ve got left to feel

(nothing to lose)

Just stuck, hollow and alone

And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

[chorus]

I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real

I wanna let go of the pain I’ve felt so long

(erase all the pain till it’s gone)

I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m close to something real

I wanna find something I’ve wanted all along

Somewhere I belong

And I’ve got nothing to say

I can’t believe I didn’t fall right down on my face

(I was confused)

Looking everywhere only to find

That it’s not the way I had imagined it all in my mind

(so what am I)

What do I have but negativity

’cause I can’t justify the way, everyone is looking at me

(nothing to lose)

Nothing to gain, hollow and alone

And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

[repeat chorus]

I will never know myself until I do this on my own

And I will never feel anything else until my wounds are healed

I will never be anything till I break away from me

I will break away, I’ll find myself today

[repeat chorus]

I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong

I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong

Somewhere I belong

^has a new job!

^needs to adjust thinking.

At this site I have changed mine 4 or 5 times, but I'm staying with this one.

It matches well with my signature.

^knows alot about Chi, like me!!

I think this varies where ever you are in the world.

I'm in my own little corner of the world here, but I've been doing some research in my area since you posted this thread UA.

I'm very lucky that all of the school districts within a 50 mile radius of me have some sort of character development program and they have set policies in place on how to handle bullies from elementary levels to high school

Just put some warm socks on because the rains have dropped the temp greatly.

Listening to some music.

Doing a geography cross word with a friend.

Gearing up for my Tuesday night mad dash about town.

A study on bullying by the University of British Columbia, based on 490 students (half female, half male) in Grades 8-10 in a B.C. city in the winter of 1999, showed:

»64 per cent of kids had been bullied at school.

»12 per cent were bullied regularly (once or more a week).

»13 per cent bullied other students regularly (once or more a week).

»72 per cent observed bullying at school at least once in a while.

»40 per cent tried to intervene.

»64 per cent considered bullying a normal part of school life.

»61-80 per cent said bullies are often popular and enjoy high status among their peers.

»25-33 per cent said bullying is sometimes OK and/or that it is OK to pick on losers.

»20-50 per cent said bullying can be a good thing (makes people tougher, is a good way to solve problems, etc.).

Accomplished is my mood star since I returned home from South Florida on Sunday.

 

I got sixth place in the Light jig (bleah, I thought I had done better in that dance and it is my favorite one to perform).

 

But, I got a gold medal in the Reel ( I cannot complain at ALL . My first ever gold medal, and at a big competition too!!! Highest medal I ever got in gymnastics at a state or higher level competition was a Silver/2nd place)

Yay for you!!!

Doesn't this just sound like a remake of the Hatfields VS the McCoys?

Kind of Kor.

But I'm sure this could have and has happened in other parts of the country.

I personally knew of a girl who was attacked by an relative in her family with an ax for dating the wrong young man, who was neither of her race or religion.

Unfortunately until more tolerance is had at all levels, this type of story will continue to unfold all over the world.

Blah.

It fits exactly how I feel about everything in my life right now. Just blah. :lol:

Listening to music

Reading my book from time to time

Laughing at my friend on MSN

Going to my bookmarked sites.

*making children laugh

*having a sense of accomplishment

*that my dreams have become reality

AOL's New Wave station.

Lots of excellent songs playing tonight.

I don't understand the pink flamingo's myself.

Or the little gnomes, or the bending over people, the fake bear cut outs.

The only yard decoration that makes me chuckle are the ones at Halloween. Mainly the witches that have been flattened by flying into a tree.

I think the rest are rather tacky. Sorry if I've insulted anyone.

Thats absolutely ridiculous!

Yes, I think so. I wonder how many other mods got to read it, so they could judge for themselves.

Well I agree it was unrightly so Kor.

But he's been put into having his posted reviewed by the mods before he can post. He can't get a response as to when this will expire.

UA, your school sounds like it was out of control

If people were being cut here, then metal detectors would be installed at the school, and lockers would be searched.

Once a month dogs go through the local high schools here looking for drugs.

Apparently they don't do enough there.

They are doormats, and they invest nothing in the future of their country, their children.

You're right about them being losers.

I read somewhere that 84% of bullies end up with some sort of conviction by the time they are 24 years old.

How many bullies are the smartest in their class?

I don't seem to recall many being that way. Druggies yes, but the bullies usually weren't that bright. Thus they used their fists instead.

Men underestimate girls/women greatly.

They are the true experts of word wars. Many guys have no clue when women hate one another.

"oh, she's so sweet, how can you not like her?"

If you ask someone who is a normally rational female that, then she suddenly isn't irrational. She's spot on the mark.

How pathetic.

A country that used to rule the word is afraid of bullies?

What kind of idiots are making these rules? Surely it must be politicians, as they never accept responsibility for things themselves.

It's going to a part of the ruin of your country UA.

I already know the NHS stinks completely.

I'm not so sure about your educational system now.

And now on a social level, it seems it is also coming unraveled.

Of course the problem is deeper.

Children LEARN to bully.

Most likely someone in their home life is doing it to them.

Or their home life is such that they feel out of control, so they use bullying to fill the emptiness up.

After Columbine, responsible school systems work at this. Unfortunately responsibility and money to run a program don't always go hand in hand.
