That’s what I said.
Road Trip!
I think all thr writers of OE should do a survivor like weekend thing
in toronto or some other neutral city
and see who can rough it

Sound good?
how many of you guys would actually do that?

Hey dybbuk you want me to grab your ass?
First tell me why you’d want that.
Second you probably wouldn’t know what to do if a girl were to do that to you.
So Bring it.

I learnt a few valuable lessons this weekend
1.) When my friend really needed me I was there for her
2.) Most Guys I have chatted with on the internet are sick twisted pigs
3.) The guys friend I do have are worth their weight in gold
4.) You have not met your best friend yet

Guys please explain why it is so important to know a girl’s bust size, height and weight when you chat online?
Here’s the thing We don’t ask you because we’re not that shallow.
I mean who really cares if their talking to someone who’s not Pamela Anderson, or Some supermodel.
Has our society become that superficial?
Guys it shouldn’t matter what the girl looks like if you’re random messaging them.
and another thing….. wait kids could be reading this.
I’m not saying all guys you meet on the internet are creeps, just that if you’re going to be shallow enought to ask about my physical appearance please don’t talk to me.

I saw the coolest thing on the back of a t-shirt as I was leaving my class at school today.
There was a guy in his early twenties with a white t-shirt on.
As I passed by him I read the back which said, “Fear is your only God”
Which got me thinking .
How many times do we not go for ours dreams because we are afraid?
We try to be optimistic and rationalize before hand
Nine times out of ten saying what’s the worst that can happen?
How about saying What’s the best that can happen? for a change
Someone once told me that if you give into your fears
then you have already stacked the odds against you.
Life is too short to be afraid of something happening or not happening
With the way society is going children need to see
You can have dreams and you can succeed at those dreams.
Given that I’m still worried about what’s going to happen in september.
Any body else hate being in limbo about the next phase of one’s education?

Who the hell do these people think they are?
I’m sorry I don’t walk up to you and say “hey cutie, how about you and me and room 23?”
so please don’t do this to me
It’s so bad that this happens even at work, AT WORK!!!
I’m sorry last time I checked I wasn’t Pamela Anderson or Trish Stratus
and even if I was I still wouldn’t like being treated like a piece of meat.
I’m not doing anything to bring this on
and since when did “Hi can I help you with something?”
turn into “Hey make a lewd comment and you’ll get my phone number”
Honestly Guys
I find it even worse for some of the guys I work with
Some of these girls have no class
What does it say about our society
when people can’t even go to their work place without being harasssed on a daily basis?
Oh and another thing
I don’t walk up to you in a bar and grab your ass
so please do think I’m part of the petting zoo
c’mon people show some class
In the past month I’ve met 5 peple out of 35 that I would say were classy , ten more that were passable, that leaves 25 major Dorks
YES you read right DORKS!
there is no other way to describe them
for some reason these people think it’s “cool” to make others uncomfortable
My whole point in the matter is think about your actions….
If you would feel weird or uncomfortable if someone did it to you then don’t do it to someone else

Have you ever watched a puppy, kitten, or child sleep?
It’s the most adorable thing. the image is so peaceful and angelic.
Sometimes it’s the only time they’re quiet and “behaving” most
other times while they are dreaming they do some interesting things.
For example Bailey our chocolate lab will run run and bark in her sleep.
It was so funny to see her kick my brother off the couch and on to the livingroom floor.
Jacob our “baby” puppy is a yellow lab and he likes to move his pillows and blankets
around while he sleeps. (I know some guys like that)
Shaddow our grey lynx clone like to sleep right against my back,
this little monster (I really do love him) turns into a furnace
about five minutes into his sleep or “nap”.
I end up waking up with a huge wet patch on the back of my t-shirt
and he just looks at me as if to say what’s you’re problem I had a wonderful sleep.
He doesn’t give a rat’s ass about anyone other than he’s warm and cozy,
and I’m his possession.
My former Landlady’s son on the other hand likes to play hockey in his sleep.
I don’t kow if he’s better awake or if he’s better asleep.

Anybody else feeling anxious about getting out of school and getting right to summer?
I mean honestly I’m sitting in class thinking to myself why am I here? really?
I only have five more weeks to go but it seems lke it’s taking forever to go by.
If this sounds like a rant it’s not meant to be.
I’m just curious to see if anyone else is feeling the same way I do.

I was reading an assignment that a co-worker wrote the other day which sparked a thought in my mind and it stayed there for a while and I thought I’d write about it. have you noticed that conventional school doesn’t really teach you anything about life? I mean yeah we get the theories and the histories of what is going to work for most of the people but does it really teach us anything? I bring up the point of home schooling and tutoring. Most of the people who’ve ever been a part of these types of schooling seem to do just as well if not better that the classical institutional setting of our wonderful “schools” and have you ever thought even just for a moment that maybe it’s just a money racket? I mean think of the money spent on tuition and it gets raised every year hmmmm, what about the fact of some course making no forcing you to take these god awful bird courses that remind you of high school. I know this sounds like a rant on the concept of education but I mean truly are we actually learning anything? I’m starting to wonder.

I’ve noticed in the past two years that the hardest lessons to learn are also the most expensive.
By expensive I mean costly, as in time, emontions or mental energy.
I think the hardest is finding out someone whom you thought was a close friend turns around and stabs you in the back. I think the worst of it is that I find the more I tell people to be straight with me the end up hiding behind excuses. I’m sorry but to me excuses are just skins of the truth stuffed with lies.
If there is anything I can impart to others is Love like it’s forever, Laugh like there’s no tomorrow, and don’t be afraid to cry because it takes a stronger person to cry in front of people

Have you ever wondered what it was like to be different? I don’t mean the trivial things like having a different appearance of yourself. I mean being truly different. How about people treating you differently?
· Because they found out a part of your past.
· Because you live with one parent, and not the “normal” family.
What is a normal family? A mother, a father, a sister, a brother, a dog, a cat, white picket fences and a two car garage. I had that along with a lot of other things. I’ll let you in on something, when you have it all but are not truly happy then why do you talk about these items of wealth. If you have true happiness then you have true wealth. Think about the days you are participating in something that makes you happy, something that gets you away from the terror and fear that lies in your mind along with the homework of the current day.
· Will they be alive when I get home?
· Do they know how much they are hurting me?
· Do they care?
Imagine being in that much turmoil and if that wasn’t enough add in “you’re never going to amount to anything!” “You’re stupid” “you’re a loser!” oh you want more, you say? How about having your peers make fun of you?
· The way you talk
· What your clothes look like
You get the drift rather well don’t you?
Right now ALL of you are probably saying to yourselves, ‘I would never do that?’ Cut the selfless act. Because I have seen all of you do that more than once you think I don’t notice, well you are seriously wrong, I do notice! Yet one day not long ago one of your kind was in need of help desperately! Should I do what everyone did to me? NO! Here is a living being?so I went over and stopped them from choking and when I had done my job, just faded into the background, into the throng of people. That day changed my life. I did the most courageous thing, so they say. I say it’s nothing that your parent(s) wouldn’t do for you. That’s not to say that anyone would just help anyone. There is a piece that should really hit a nerve, “you may be looking at a duck that is so homely and hideous now, but who know when that duck turns into the swan” that is my philosophy. Now I look back on my youth and see that I did a special thing and that makes me remember why I went into the medical profession. I’m here to help people not take revenge on them. You see when I see smiling children I know in my heart of hearts that I preserved a little piece of the future. Funny hoe the ones who ridicule are the first ones who brag. One thing I do know is who my true friends were. I have one thing to share with you look into a child’s eyes you are HERO to them so teach them that difference is good and treat their neighbours like a sibling and not an enemy, for you haven’t walked their path in life, trust me it’s not easy being different.

” As Saffron turned her head, Her waist length honey blonde hair fell over Quinn’s expansive chest. He knew then that this would be a night he’d never forget?” Tera rolled her eyes and thought to herself, who in their right mind actually reads this fluff. She continued to stock the shelves with the latest paperback of Daniella Van Couer de Franc, “Knight of my day”. As she was facing the books she realized that her and her friend had to be somewhere that evening. “Hey Layney? when did you say you were done?” A muffled voice emanating from somewhere near Science fiction said, “I think Seven why?” “Because we’re supposed to be at Val’s house by seven thirty tonight for that thing?” All Tera could hear was a groan followed by a shuffle of books and then she found her best friend since they were born literally nestled nicely in a pile of Kusy Kastinov’s Arkansas’ Invasion “I take it you forgot about it.” Tera said as she picked up a book and handed it to Layney who was in the middle of returning the dust bunnies back to their rightful home. “Tera, Have you heard from Dan yet?” “No, But the way Kevin and Mike horde over the phone I generally don’t get my messages, until three days later.” Layney rolled her eyes and said “Oh the joys of being in the Malcolm Clan.” Tera retorted with at least it’s not the Wallace or Campbell Clan” Layney replied sarcastically, “Ouch that hurt, Where you get that insult, MacGregor?” Just before Tera’s rebuttal came forth it died in her throat and all Layney could hear was a gasp of absolute terror come out of Tera. She followed Tera’s line of vision and saw the reason for the gasp. About six feet from was Daniel MacEwon the guy of Tera’s dreams and nightmares. There was only one problem; every time Tera sensed his presence she’d bolt. Layney found this amusing the first two years of her friend’s dilemma but now thought it was frankly childish after a total of seven years. The fact that they were graduating from high school didn’t help the matter either. “Tera you have to stop acting like you’re in grade three and guys still have cooties.” “What does he want?” Tera hissed and then proceeded to bolt to the languages section. Since Layney hadn’t really moved she saw what was about to play out in front of her. ” 3?2?1?Wait for it, Now!” URGH! Layney turned out of the aisle she was in to find Tera unceremoniously on her can and Dan obviously embarrassed. Who do you think you are? God! Brad Pitt? Oh wait you think you’re heath ledger and every woman is going to swoon and fawn over your quasi Scotch-Aussie accent. Well newsflash moron it’s not going to happen with me.” With that the redheaded fireball got up, dusted her self off and stormed to the backroom. “Is she always that articulate?” Dan asked dryly. “I was only trying to say hi.” Layney replied with, “You have quite an effect on her.”
