    <content type="html">&lt;br /&gt;The things that one holds on to, to some degree anyway, amuse me. Take, for example, something that happened almost five years ago with someone who you never really gave a second thought to. Now, what in world would possibly make you think to reevaluate your actions from so long ago?&amp;nbsp;I myself cannot find the answer to that. Just a passing fancy, a spark of intelligence perhaps, or a smell to remind you of a wrong you committed, albeit unthinkingly and without purpose, years before.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone once did something for me that was so uncharacteristic of most 16 year olds, that I&amp;nbsp;took it completely for granted. To the point where I&amp;nbsp;did not &lt;em&gt;once,&lt;/em&gt; thank them&amp;nbsp;for taking the time to do what they did&amp;nbsp;for me. Until&amp;nbsp;yesterday. I&amp;nbsp;cannot for the life of me remember&amp;nbsp;what it was that made me think of that person, but it happened a few months ago, and the full force&amp;nbsp;of my actions hit me&amp;nbsp;so hard&amp;nbsp;I was utterly astounded and&amp;nbsp;left speechless. For those of you who know me, I am not one to be rendered speechless, especially not by my own actions. I still cannot believe that I was such an ass, even if it was done without purpose. For me to be so selfish and ungrateful, and to not realize it for years after. . . well . . . let's just say it was a rude awakening.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh sweet reality, how you love to play with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the years I have stopped questioning why I&amp;nbsp;am not &lt;em&gt;this&lt;/em&gt;, or why I&amp;nbsp;do not have &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt;. Instead I&amp;nbsp;have begun the process of changing the things that I&amp;nbsp;do not find to be to my liking. I have learned so many lessons, so many &lt;em&gt;truths&lt;/em&gt; about life and people and myself, that I&amp;nbsp;cannot even begin to describe the impact they have made upon me. I can, however, show it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been looking at myself from many different angles. Learning my strengths, my weaknesses, my faults. I've only just started piecing them together. I've only just come to terms with the fact that self discovery is a life long process; that the decisions we make &lt;em&gt;now&lt;/em&gt; effect our biggest plans &lt;em&gt;later&lt;/em&gt;. It is such a breathtaking experience.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are so many questions that hold no answers. So many thoughts with circuitous actions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;This steady beating will match the cadence of my footfalls,&lt;br /&gt;These inhalations will form the melody of my existence.&lt;br /&gt;Sounds will burst forth from shapely lips, &lt;br /&gt;And words will flow like water from this tongue;&lt;br /&gt;Tasting, Touching, Learning.&lt;br /&gt;A&amp;nbsp;journey so profound it leaves you breathless.&lt;/div&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">I'm sitting on the computer in the library at school. Totally thrown. I hate normal keyboards. I&amp;nbsp;have no idea how I worked with them before. It is as if there is an alien beneath my fingers, right now, as I type this. Entirely foreign. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;nbsp;want my laptop. And/or a good book . . . like the one waiting for me at home right now. Boo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh!&amp;nbsp;We got another dog!&amp;nbsp;Her name is Dakota and she is a German Short Hair Pointer, 6 weeks old. She's so beautiful!&amp;nbsp;But a great big pain the toosh. I've figured out why I don't want kids, and it's because all of my maternal instincts are for puppies and raising them. In short, dogs ARE&amp;nbsp;my kids. Therefore, I will not be repopulating the Earth. Sorry guys!&amp;nbsp;Hahahahahaha. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MMMyes, this entry is entirely pointless. I am going to go eat a lil sumn-sumn so I can survive these next 5 hours of class. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adios Muchachos!&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EDIT:&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;just wanted to point out that these keyboards are CRAWLING&amp;nbsp;with germs and microscopic life forms. grossgrossgrossgrossgross! I will probably scrub my hands raw after this. fdsafjdsak;.</content>
