Samhain, (pronounced SOW-in, SAH-vin, or SAM-hayne) means "End of Summer", and is the third and final Harvest. The dark winter half of the year commences on this Sabbat.
It is generally celebrated on October 31st, but some traditions prefer November 1st. It is one of the two "spirit-nights" each year, the other being Beltane. It is a magical interval when the mundane laws of time and space are temporarily suspended, and the Thin Veil between the worlds is lifted. Communicating with ancestors and departed loved ones is easy at this time, for they journey through this world on their way to the Summerlands. It is a time to study the Dark Mysteries and honor the Dark Mother and the Dark Father, symbolized by the Crone and her aged Consort.
Originally the "Feast of the Dead" was celebrated in Celtic countries by leaving food offerings on altars and doorsteps for the "wandering dead". Today a lot of practitioners still carry out that tradition. Single candles were lit and left in a window to help guide the spirits of ancestors and loved ones home. Extra chairs were set to the table and around the hearth for the unseen guest. Apples were buried along roadsides and paths for spirits who were lost or had no descendants to provide for them. Turnips were hollowed out and carved to look like protective spirits, for this was a night of magic and chaos. The Wee Folke became very active, pulling pranks on unsuspecting humans. Traveling after dark was was not advised. People dressed in white (like ghosts), wore disguises made of straw, or dressed as the opposite gender in order to fool the Nature spirits.
This was the time that the cattle and other livestock were slaughtered for eating in the ensuing winter months. Any crops still in the field on Samhain were considered taboo, and left as offerings to the Nature spirits. Bonfires were built, (originally called bone-fires, for after feasting, the bones were thrown in the fire as offerings for healthy and plentiful livestock in the New Year) and stones were marked with peoples names. Then they were thrown into the fire, to be retrieved in the morning. The condition of the retrieved stone foretold of that person's fortune in the coming year. Hearth fires were also lit from the village bonfire to ensure unity, and the ashes were spread over the harvested fields to protect and bless the land.
Various other names for this Greater Sabbat are Third Harvest, Samana, Day of the Dead, Old Hallowmas (Scottish/Celtic), Vigil of Saman, Shadowfest (Strega), and Samhuinn. Also known as All Hallow's Eve, (that day actually falls on November 7th), and Martinmas (that is celebrated November 11th), Samhain is now generally considered the Witch's New Year.
Symbolism of Samhain:
Third Harvest, the Dark Mysteries, Rebirth through Death.

Mommy’s essentials
These items must be in your bag, or you’re bound for trouble!
* Hospital or insurance card.
* 2 bras (breastfeeding bras, for those who intend to nurse).
* 6-8 pairs of underwear (you can leave the frillier ones at home—you’ll probably end up staining a lot of them).
* 2 or 3 night gowns or pyjamas that button at the front (great when nursing)
* A warm bathrobe.
* Comfortable slippers and sandals.
* Sanitary napkins (some are especially designed for new mothers).
* Toothbrush and toothpaste, soap, shampoo, hair brush, deodorant, contact lens case and solution (if needed) and hair dryer.
* Clothing to wear when you leave the hospital.
For mommy’s comfort
Don’t forget these items: they’ll make your stay at the hospital a lot easier and are bound to pick your mood up…
* A thermal water atomizer (Evian, Vichy, etc.) will be nice and refreshing during labour, since you won’t be able to drink.
* A few bottles of water, some fruit, and a few granola bars (for when you get the munchies after giving birth).
* A small pouch containing your favourite makeup items for when you leave the hospital.
* A good facial moisturizer and lip balm (childbirth will cause your body to be very dehydrated and your lips are bound to chap).
* A comfortable pillow.
* A bottle of non-greasy massage oil (for when your man offers himself to rub your back and feet).
* A breastfeeding cushion.
* A bottle of hand-sanitizer (such as Purell).
For mommy’s entertainment
Despite the frequent visits from friends and family, you’ll probably have several moments of quiet when you may feel the need to relax a bit.
* An mp3 or CD player (with your favourite CDs).
* A few easy reads (such as magazines, short novels, etc.).
* A camera (don’t forget batteries and some film or an extra memory card).
* A list of people you’ll want to call to tell the good news (and their numbers).
* A pen and notebook (so you can jot down any important info or tips from your doctor and nurses during your stay—it’s hard to remember everything).
* Make sure to have some small change on you (to use in vending machines, public phones, etc.)
Baby’s essentials
These are the last items on our list, but definitely not the least… Make sure you’re not missing anything for your beautiful newborn.
* 5 pyjamas (at least one that’s a little bit bigger than the others—hey, you never know!)
* 5 newborn bodysuits.
* Diapers (some hospitals provide them, but it’s quite rare).
* 1 pacifier.
* An outfit for the trip home (take the weather into account).
* A warm blanket.
* 4 bibs (to protect baby’s clothes).
* Socks.
* A cotton bonnet.
* 3 small towels (to put on your shoulder when burping your baby).
* Baby soap and shampoo or a bottle of baby wash.
* A pair of small mittens (to keep him or her from scratching her face).
With all the above-mentioned items in tow, you should be just about ready for the big day.
Good luck!

Tips For Homeowners to Conserve on Heating Bills
Insulate walls, ceilings and floors as required. Savings in fuel costs in a well insulated home over an uninsulated home will pay for the cost of proper insulation in a few years.
Install storm windows and storm doors. These items of good quality and properly installed are a major factor in fuel savings as the reduce both heat transmission and air leakage.
Caulk all cracks around door and window frames and at the foundation.
If storm window and doors are not installed, use good weatherstripping to reduce air leakage.
Close outside doors promptly and securely.
Keep doors of an attached garage closed.
If the garage is heated, maintain the temperature at about 40F.
If the basement is to be heated, or there is no insulation in the floor above the basement, insulate the walls and seal cracks at the foundation, windows and doors. If possible install storm sash.
If the house is built over a crawl space, make sure the ventilating grills are closed and air tight during the heating season. Insulate the walls of the crawlspace if possible.
Closing the damper in the room with the thermostat can cause the rest of the house to overheat.
Lower the thermostat settings in unoccupied areas and close doors to those areas. A 10% setback overnight will save fuel.
For best performance a thermostat should be located on an inside wall where it will not be affected by sunlight. Do not locate on an outside wall, on a chimney wall, over a radiator or in direct drafts.
Keep the windows closed and locked when not opened for ventilation.
Close the fireplace damper when the fireplace is not in use. With the damper open, the warm air in the room will be drawn up the chimney. Install a set of glass doors on the fireplace which can be closed when the fireplace is not in use or when the fire is very small.
Have your heating equipment serviced and kept in top working condition. A dirty furnace wastes fuel.
Insulate heating pipes or ducts in an exposed or unheated space.
Make sure inspection doors and cleanout openings on your furnace are closed. Prevent air leakage into the combustion chamber.
If an automatic draft regulator is supplied on the flue pipe, make sure the damper swings freely.
Replace or repair hot water faucets if they drip. Always close securely after use.
Do not let carpeting block the bottom air opening of a baseboard heating unit.
Periodically examine the fins on the pipe inside the baseboard heating enclosures. If they have a lot of lint or other material on them that will restrict air flow vacuum or otherwise clean them.
A major source of air infiltration into homes is through wall outlets and switches. To stop the infiltration, install wall plate gaskets and safety plug covers.

For Those Of You Asking ....
Here it is!
How my hubby & I met!
*** I got married On Valentines day 2005 To my wonderful husband! Who I love very much.. We met on a online game back in September of 2004 thanks to our awesome friend we met in game as well! & City Of heroes * The Game * But it was funny cause at that time he was playing a female charter as most men do. Reason why? I don't know most do because they say they rather watch a female characters ass running then a males which I could understand. But it was funny because I thought he was a chick =oP Opps! My bad?! Its funny cause he is another me and i am another him just the male female difference and everyone says and agrees ... hehe ... I'm so happy and yet so spoiled he is to of course.
Well one day after months and months of talking daily 2-4-6-8+ hrs a day on the chat and phone he had said that he would buy me a bus ticket to come the USA to visit and told that he loved me once again.. he secretly planned to purpose to me on Valentines day over dinner I didn't know this at all! ... But I didn't matter I was taking that bus! So I then jumped on the bus and headed over the border. Well before I did I called everyone I could get ahold of to say goodbye and that I would be back soon. Most I got ahold of thought I was OUT OF MY MIND! Well I called my best friend because I knew if i left and didn't say bye and something happened she would find some way to hunt me down and strangle me herself. But sadly at that time I got the machine. So I left a msg. Well it sucked anyways because when I got to the border I didn't know about all the proper paperwork. Usually when i went to the USA all i needed was my birth certificate little did i know i needed rent receipts, work statements etc to prove i was coming back to Canada.. Because after 9/11 It got more strict. Well when we looked to see what I needed to cross on the government website all it said was birth certificate... BUT! The Website wasn't UPDATED I was informed in quite sometime! But they where just doing there jobs I understand and I am not worried. =)
Well when I got back into Canada I called him from a payphone crying cause I wanted him to know what had happened. Well I was downtown in my city tears frozen to my face because it was WAY BELOW 0 degrees at this time. He told me, " Don't worry get home where its warm and I love you and that we will get though this." We talked for a few hours after a while when i got home on the phone AFTER my roommate went to work. He said he was going to see about taking a 20hr bus ride to come up and see me. I told him he was crazy! But I knew he was crazy for me! hehe =) as i was crazy for him and we are still crazy but anyways ... We then went to bed and i woke up the next day to a msg on my PC saying " Gone 2 dads to see about a rental car " Then my friend that i met in game msg'd me and told me he was planning to drive up to Canada to see me and he wouldn't leave without me. I was like OMG okay.... She said, " If this/that isn't true love I don't know what is Chickie."
So sure enough when he got back he messaged me and told me he got a car. I told him okay. Drive safe, Love you and all that good mushy stuff. =) So he drove 14hrs to come spend the weekend with me then try to take me back to the USA to meet his parents. Well on the weekend I showed him around town. We had fun. We went out to dinner with my 2 best friends we did a bunch of things. =) Then the one night in the hotel room he says lets get married Monday since it's Valentines day and all... I didn't know what to say but YES! I know we talked about it before but it seemed so right for the both of us because of the timing and because we are so much in love. Then he said, "Valentines Day I sure wont forget our anniversary now! And if I do you can kick my ass." I started laughing. Well after we got married we said our last goodbyes and headed for the border and from there it was a long 14hr drive back. We stopped to visit our friend that we met in game for the first time and her daughter and her husband then after we left. We then looked on happy and excited to see what would happen next and sure enough! We get allot of excitement everyday!

I know it's only been a day but what a day it was!
Sunday night I headed to bed about 11pm

Finally by 5am still tossing in turning I then decided to get up and start cleaning and repositioning the living room and spare room, since hubby's dad's house finally sold he is moving his stuff in between today and wed.
So when hubby got home from work at 6:30am he just looked at me cleaning away got changed from work and came to help.

When I got done work I was so wanting to go home like NOW!
But instead I went to hubby's dads house to bring some blankets and stuff downstairs (In my heels and stuff cause I haven't changed from work) Then took a seat while the guys took the bed down and put it in the truck and other things.
Then FINALLY was able to go home, poor hubby been up for 24hrs before he fell asleep
I was so happy to get home, I figured pizza was the easy way last nite that way there was left overs for lunch today, the place was such a mess and I was so tired I didn't wanna cook.

Tim Hortons
Wow, reading Yahoo news today I found out a few things about the place I worked for ... for 4 years....
It was a crappy place to work, treated people like crap, they prolly still do, reason why many people I know quit.

My Boobs!
Hello!
My Boobs, my boobs
My boobs are ok
My Boobs, my boobs
My boobs are ok
I'm lazy, admit it, work is not for me
Busy doing nothing
I'm a beauty queen
I don't cook, I don't clean
They do it for me
I'm such a stupid girl
I keep my religion in a Gucci purse
Oh my god, I just forgot the rest of this verse
Who cares? I never passed junior high
It was so hard!
So what?
(Chorus)
My Boobs, my boobs
My boobs are ok
My Boobs, my boobs
My boobs are ok
And no matter what you say
I know they're ok
My boobs are ok
Just stupid to study
I ain't got a brain
So I never went to college
Couldn't find the way
I wished every tomorrow was a holiday
I'm such a crazy girl
Dumb as they come, oh, can't you see?
My cup size and IQ work in harmony
Just don't ask me about economy
Unless it is for free
[Chorus]
And with the makeup on, to make these fine
A little glamour from my hips to my tongue
That's the name of the game
You gotta know the rules
If you wanna give up
You gotta play it cool
You're so cool!
Come on, girls
Give me a Boo (Boo!)
Give me a b (B!)
Give me a s (s!)
Go Boobs!
Go Boobs!
Go Boobs!
[Chorus]
My Boobs, my boobs
My boobs are ok
My Boobs, my boobs
My Boobs, my boobs
My boobs are ok
My Boobs, my boobs
My Boobs, my boobs
My boobs are ok
And no matter what you say
I know they're ok
My boobs are ok

Smell Good Stuff & Stuff !
Well wow, time just flew by its already September!
That means time to stick in my fall smell good wallflowers :)
I wasn't to impressed with the pineapple mango, I couldn't even smell it. But my friend Jilly said she could, it was quite weird.. But I still wasn't impressed with them.
But I did pick out 2 good ones this time they smell wonderful and I can actually smell them, well prolly until I get used to it then I wont be able too.
I picked:
For the bedrooms :)
AND
I picked:
For the living room/kitchen.
So far it smells like a apple and pear orchard. It smells so yummy!
Today hubby and I went to the breakfast buffet then came home and watched Sailor Moon. We had alot of fun, but now hes headed back to bed cause he's gotta work tonight. So I think I am awake enough to play some City Of Heroes
On another note I start my training this week for manager, I am pretty nervous yet excited. But again I keep telling myself if it gets to be to much to step down and go back to being at home more which I know I love being at home and taking care of things but time will tell, I am going at least try and hang on as long as I can if it gets to be to much to help save moneys and pay back a few things and then see what happens after that but so far so good :)
I couldn't ask for much more really, I am happy :)

Guess What We Did Today?
Well today is Monday, day off for myself and hubby as well as D&D nite.
His only one again this week :(
I wanna steal him to myself one night away from D&D so we can just have some us time, we haven't had that in over a year on his days off....
Ah well, It's alright
Time will fly by when he goes back to work I'm sure :)
I did get the promotion at work too to a Manager.
I will amit I am nervous, I'm scared about not doing a good job even though I do the best I can at everything I do... and I am told I am great at what I do.
I will miss being at home most of the time and I promised myself if it gets to be to much for me I will step down and go back to a regular sales associate.
But if it does get to be to much I am going to try and stick it out until we get Mom paid back at least and more moneys saved :)
Well I guess your wondering what we did today eh?
Well today we went to the vets to see about Salem's stitch that wouldn't fall out like they said it would... we got that taken care of :)
But while we where waiting there was a kitty sitting in a cage waiting to be adopted, went by the name of Skeet.
They told us neutered male very lovey and we could see that, oh was he ever!
Just then hubby read the sign on the cage and said what does: " Last Day Aug 20Th " Mean? The nurse turned around and said, "we usually give them a certain time to be adopted and if they don't we are required to put them down."
I almost started crying I felt the tears filling up in my eyes as I looked at the date today is the 27Th... right then and there I thought, "great now that he said something they are prolly gonna put him down later cause they musta forgot" I turned to hubby and said "we are taking him" he looked at me and said... "Uhhh...."
He knew I wasn't gonna take No for a answer so he asked how much it would cost to take Skeet home they said $95
I told them when we got back from taking Salem home we would hit the bank and be right back, we fled home little did we know it was only 8am we had time to kill before the bank opened....
We ended up going to the grocery store, grabbed some quick meals to last us until next Monday when we could make a grocery run and it will be after payday so we could stock up on alot of stuff.
As soon as we got home 9am, we ran off to the bank got the money then ran back to the vets and Skeet had to be checked again before we left to make sure he was nurt.... wait a sec the vet said... he isn't a he ... hes a she ;P
Guess they over looked that one!
It's all good though they said they think shes Spay cause she does have a belly scar but that could also be from a C-section but they said they are uncertain unless we wanted them to go in and check for themselves.
We shook our heads NO WAY! Poor girl been though enough!
So they said if she does happen to go into heat bring her back and they will Spay her for free since it's part of the deal when we adopted her.
So off we went!
Hubby scooped the litter and we did with her like we did with Salem, Scyko and Slayer when I brought them from Canada, start them out in the basement where the litter is, get em comfortable down there and let them come up when there ready.
I think she is gonna be alright, just gonna take some time :)
But that was our excitement for the day!
Things have still been going great, I just miss hubby cause he works alot :(
But I am sure we will make some "us" time soon enough ;)
Gonna try for a movie tomorrow afternoon before he goes to bed to get rest for work and maybe lunch, we will see :)
As much as I love D&D maybe we can have a night to ourselves next Monday, i dunno, hehe.
well anyways I am off, need my coh fix b4 D&D tonite :)

Updates, Life, Everything!
Well It's now Thursday, things been getting better.
I talked to my boss today and she said if I open my availability to everyday all day, it's a possible for sure promotion to a customer sales lead which could mean more cash and more hours which is perfect! For what hubby and I want :)
I haven't been so depressed anymore I been getting happier and happier everyday with life changing but changing for the better.
Bruce FINALLY moved out!
That was my biggest depressed issue was him living here and being a fucking pig!
Excuse my language =P
Next step though is getting my licence, cause I will need that for my job among prolly a few other things too, not sure what though.
What else been going on?
Not to much, work, eat, sleep, City Of Heroes and chatting with friends, and of course hanging out with hubby weather it be movies, Dungeons and Dragons or whatever its been fun :)
Need to make some plans to go out with Jill sometime soon, been awhile since we done girly stuff =P
Salem is now recovered from her spay and shes back to crazy Lil Salem =P
Anyways I started a loaf of bread, prolly gonna get some game time in then go to bed earlier then normal cause I wanna get up earlier to watch a movie or something with hubby when he gets home :)
I'm out =P

Five Breakup Signs
Five Breakup Signs
How to tell when you're about to get the boot
By Elina Furman
Special to Yahoo! Personals
Updated: Aug 22, 2007
One day, you are madly in love. You're cuddling on the couch, reading love poems and feeding each other sushi. And that's when it happens: Your partner sits you down for the "It's-Not-You, It's-Me" talk. You're confused and left wondering, "How could I have missed the signs?"
Breaking up is never easy. Your ego and heart are bound to get bruised. But if you could just see the breakup coming, it might make the whole business easier to stomach.
While hindsight is 20/20, there are always warning signals
While hindsight is 20/20, there are always warning signals along the way.
Top five signs you're about to get dumped
1. Picking fights. No one is saying you have to get along 24/7. Constructive conflict can actually be good for your relationship. But if you find that your partner has become argumentative over petty issues like your clothes or choice of restaurant, that should serve as a warning sign that he/she may be looking for an excuse to bail.
2. Forgetting to call. Used to be that your phone would ring all day long with your sweetie wanting to make plans or calling just to say, "I love you." Now your significant other doesn't even call when he/she is running three hours late. It may seem obvious, but going from speed dial to a blocked number is a sure sign that your relationship may be nearing its expiration date.
3. Changing their stripes. A major change in appearance can be a sign that your partner is looking toward greener pastures. Whether they've chopped off their hair, lost 40 pounds or gone from a bold brunette to a sultry blonde, major cosmetic changes should be noted. Of course, there's nothing wrong with being a little vain, but if the change is accompanied by any of the other signs listed here, you may need to get ready to go solo.
4. Criticizing. If your sweetie isn't feeling you anymore, don't be surprised if he/she becomes less tolerant of everything, from how you brush your teeth to how you tie your shoes. Constant criticism is a telltale sign that your days as a twosome are numbered.
5. Losing sexual interest. A healthy sex life can make or break a relationship. If you find that your partner is becoming more sexually aloof, you need to get to the root of the issue. While it's natural to have less sex as you settle into a comfortable groove together, waiting weeks or months to have sexual contact is a sign that something is amiss.
Now that you know the warning signs, don't panic. Just because your partner exhibits some of these behaviors, that doesn't necessarily mean the relationship is over. In fact, it's usually a combination of signs and not one isolated incident that foreshadows a breakup.
If you're worried that your partner is itching to get out, the most important thing you can do is sit down and discuss your issues in an honest and open manner. If you take these signs as your cue to improve communication, your relationship may just have a fighting chance.

Step By Step =)
Well today is now Friday, cause it's after midnight.
Thursday morning hubby and I made up a new Dungon's and Dragons (old style D&D) character for me, thinking of giving my bard a break for a lil bit, ended up making a dagger mage =)
Sounds and looks pretty freaken sweet =)
Well not much is new, things are back to normal now
Salem got her stitches out and I moved my compy back into the living room.
Cleaned up the house and got things back to normal.
Things are going well, hubbys dad should be moving in soon we are hoping by October.
That will be great cause time to save moneys and get things on track for whatever comes up next I guess heh. Who knows what that will be.
Well I got dye on my head and i have to wash it out in about 15mins.
Sonica my Sonic/Devices blaster in City of Heroes hit 43 about a hour ago =)
I am excited!
Frap there was something else I wanted to say and I don't remember now =/
Frap frap frap >:(
Ah well im sure it will come to me eventually heh

Well I gotta go to work for a few hrs tomorrow to train someone, even though I am suppose to still be on VACATION!
Ah well it's 3hrs no biggie

I am starting the whole diet thing again
I hope to lose 60-80 lbs and if I can I am goaling for 100 !

Ooops....
Bad blogger
Yeah Yeah
I know I havn't updated in awhile
I been camping out in my spare room for almost a week with Salem now.
First few days was rough, she had trouble sleeping thus made me as well. It's all good though. I think she was just upset she wasn't with the other cats and she could scence them outside the door and hear them.
She still gets touchy cause she still can but not as much.
But she is doing much better now and healing very nice.
I Finally got a decent amount of sleep Saturday, it was nice to finally get some. Well meaning I was getting like maybe 2-3hrs a day for the past week, yeah that 8hrs was perfect!
Last night was rough again, I hope I can get more sleep before Dungons and Dragons tonight, and feel better.
Yesterday I don't know why but I tossed in a pot roast and started to cook some burgers for hubby for dinner, as soon as I smelt the grease I ran to the bathroom and tried to vomit but I just woke up I had nothing to get sick with....
Anyways....
City of heroes been fun, ran Quarterfield last night with Toy and Yoshi as well as others. It was pretty fun and we where being silly so we wouldn't go crazy cause it is a long task force (TF) we finished it in 7hours and 11 minutes. Pretty good timing!
We talked about getting team cookie back on track because we havn't done so since Athena Storm, Phil and Freezer Toy was on the venture to 50. Now I am itching to get Sonica there. She is a few bubs from 40 at the moment.
She is alot of fun in teams but soloing puts me to sleep. I don't know why it just does. I think I was spoiled with hubby's Illusion/Empathy Controller Pinky when he played.
Well I think I am gonna log in game for a bit, see whats going on then prolly take a nap cause I am gonna need it with D&D tonite. I will be doing my rolls from the bedroom since Salem and I are still camping out.
Anyways I am out for now!
~Noire~

City of heroes been fun, ran Quarterfield last night with Toy and Yoshi as well as others. It was pretty fun and we where being silly so we wouldn't go crazy cause it is a long task force (TF) we finished it in 7hours and 11 minutes. Pretty good timing!
We talked about getting team cookie back on track because we havn't done so since Athena Storm, Phil and Freezer Toy was on the venture to 50. Now I am itching to get Sonica there. She is a few bubs from 40 at the moment.
She is alot of fun in teams but soloing puts me to sleep. I don't know why it just does. I think I was spoiled with hubby's Illusion/Empathy Controller Pinky when he played.
Well I think I am gonna log in game for a bit, see whats going on then prolly take a nap cause I am gonna need it with D&D tonite. I will be doing my rolls from the bedroom since Salem and I are still camping out.
Anyways I am out for now!

KoRn
I added some KoRn to my play list once again, I been trying to mix up all the music I like over time but for awhile they didn't have whole KoRn songs that I could add they where always bits and pieces but FINALLY they have some full songs!
Korn has been a big part of my life.. you prolly wonder why
If any of you know KoRn you prolly know Johnathan's childhood and how it was for him, I understand fully what he went though because I went though it all too, just a few things a bit different but I do understand, KoRn's music helped me realize these things where not my fault and listening to Jon sing his memories and get out his anger though the music again also helped me a great deal.
I wouldn't be where I am today if I didn't have Korn in my life during those dark times.
One song will always remind me of the day I sat and sang it with it playing in the background. (It's on my play list too)
" Kill You "
The words rang true at the time in my life when I sang this song, I will never forget the day my friends came home from school and I was singing this song I was so angry and crying I didn't' even know they where standing behind me until my friend Scott walked up behind me and called to me, I shoved him outta the way not knowing who he was because I was so upset and blinded by tears. That was the day my friends found out about my childhood.
Jon Davis is one of my heroes and I love him dearly, I want to thank him and Korn for the great music they continue to make! I seen them back in 2002 in Detroit, I would LOVE to see them again and again and they are coming to my area soon and I want to go SO FREAKING BAD! But I have a few bills I need to pay for first unfort :(
But his music I will always listen to because its like his music explains how I feel daily, again thank you :)

Big Girls Don't Cry
Da Da Da Da
The smell of your skin lingers on me now
You're probably on your flight back to your home town
I need some shelter of my own protection baby
To be with myself and center, clarity
Peace, Serenity
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
The path that I'm walking
I must go alone
I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay
Like the little school mate in the school yard
We'll play jacks and uno cards
I'll be your best friend and you'll be my Valentine
Yes you can hold my hand if you want to
'Cause I want to hold yours too
We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds
But it's time for me to go home
It's getting late, dark outside
I need to be with myself and center, clarity
Peace, Serenity
La Da Da Da Da Da
The smell of your skin lingers on me now

I Can't Decide!
Okay call me crazy but um.
I can't make up my mind on what Wallflower scent to plug in next!
Strawberry Patch or Pineapple Mango!
I love both!
I was thinking maybe the pineapple mango cause it does smell yummy but then so does Strawberry!
I know I'm giving one bulb to my boss of the strawberry, when I do that things will be off balanced cause I want one bulb in the bedroom and the other in the living room...
So that's also why I think Pineapple Mango....
I could do separate fragrances in each room but that will just be a pain cause the scents will mix together ....
GAH!
decisions!

Song Lyrics - Nightwish
Wish I Had An Angel
Deep into a dying day
I took a step outside an innocent heart
Prepare to hate me fall when I may
This night will hurt you like never before
Old loves they die hard
Old lies they die harder
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I`m in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight
I`m going down so frail `n cruel
Drunken disguise changes all the rules
Old loves they die hard
Old lies they die harder
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I`m in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight
Greatest thrill
Not to kill
But to have the prize of the night
Hypocrite
Wannabe friend
13th disciple who betrayed me for nothing!
Last dance, first kiss
Your touch my bliss
Beauty always comes with dark thoughts
[sighing and laughter]
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I`m in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight
I wish I has an angel.........
I wish I has an angel.........
I wish I has an angel.........
I wish I has an angel.........
Nemo
This is me for forever
One of the lost ones
The one without a name
Without an honest heart as compass
This is me for forever
One without a name
These lines the last endeavor
To find the missing lifeline
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I`d give my everything
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again
Once and for all
And all for once
Nemo my name forevermore
My flower, withered between
The pages 2 and 3
The once and forever bloom gone with my sins
Walk the dark path
Sleep with angels
Call the past for help
Touch me with your love
And reveal to me my true name
Oh, how I wish...
Nemo sailing home
Nemo letting go
Oh, how I wish...
Deep into a dying day
I took a step outside an innocent heart
Prepare to hate me fall when I may
This night will hurt you like never before
Old loves they die hard
Old lies they die harder
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I`m in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight
I`m going down so frail `n cruel
Drunken disguise changes all the rules
Old loves they die hard
Old lies they die harder
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I`m in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight
Greatest thrill
Not to kill
But to have the prize of the night
Hypocrite
Wannabe friend
13th disciple who betrayed me for nothing!
Last dance, first kiss
Your touch my bliss
Beauty always comes with dark thoughts

For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I`m in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight
I wish I has an angel.........
I wish I has an angel.........
I wish I has an angel.........
I wish I has an angel.........

Hm.. Interesting..
If you’re concerned that you may be entering into an episode of stress depression and anxiety, you’ll want to know the symptoms associated with these problems and how they affect sufferers. Here are the most common symptoms of stress, depression and anxiety:
Lack of energy. This symptom is common to stress depression and anxiety and no matter how much you try, you just can’t seem to get energized for anything. This affects motivation and so you’re in a catch 22 situation. The less energetic you feel, the more your motivation levels drop. The less motivated you feel, the lower your energy levels become.
Exhaustion. This is major symptom of depression and it is so debilitating. This is a different kind of exhaustion than the exhaustion you feel say after strenuous physical exercise. In depression, the exhaustion is mentally and physically crushing. Even performing simple daily tasks is way too difficult and it doesn’t matter how much you sleep, the exhaustion just won’t go away.
Trembling Hands. This is mainly a stress or anxiety symptom. The sufferer may be in such a nervous, fearful state that the body floods with powerful chemicals such as adrenaline. In this state, the brain is in a high status of alert and trembling hands are a noticeable, physical and uncontrollable symptom. Until of course, the root cause of it is addressed and the trembles will then disappear.
Disturbed Sleeping Patterns: This symptom is common to stress, depression and anxiety and it works in 2 main ways. The suffer will either sleep too much or more likely, will only sleep for a couple of hours a night, maybe even less. In many cases, sleep is disrupted because of vivid nightmares, which some sufferers may not even remember. Other sufferers have recurring nightmares. Although these vivid dreams may cause distress, please realize that it isn’t representing anything about you, it is the stress, depression or anxiety that is causing the brain to work overtime and these vivid dreams are a symptom of this, so please don’t blame yourself or feel guilty. The nightmares will disappear once stress, depression and anxiety are under control.
Excessive Worry. Mainly a symptom of anxiety and stress, excessive worry means the sufferer worries about even the smallest of life’s events. A sufferer will be unable to find positive outcomes to anything and will continually assign negative outcomes to all situations. In continually assigning negative outcomes, life becomes very hard as sufferers are in a fearful state of mind for prolonged periods, a state that harms the body as well as the mind.
Irritable. Irritability is a major stress symptom as anyone who’s been under severe stress (and most of us have at some point in our lives) will know this all too well. When you’re under stress, you are stretched to your limit and your patience levels are thin. This explains why even the slightest thing can cause a sufferer to lose their temper or be off-handed or curt towards others. And even when the slightest mishap or accident occurs as they do so often during our daily routines, it will fuel the frustration causing more aggressive or nasty behaviour. Again, this is a symptom of stress and the irritability goes away when stress is relieved.
Isolation. Wanting to shut out the world is another major symptom of depression, although stress sufferers can sometimes seek solitude too. Retreating into a solitary, lonely world further pushes the sufferer down the depression spiral – it’s like self imposed solitary confinement – making it even harder for sufferers to find a way out of depression. This is because sufferers feel uncomfortable or even awkward around others and would rather be alone to avoid this feeling.
Panic. This anxiety symptom arises because the sufferer is convinced a catastrophic outcome to an event - or a number of events - in life is imminent. Possible examples could include a wedding, a house move, a work situation, relationship issues, illness, flying, or speaking in public. Sufferers simply cannot change this focus and the more they think about this catastrophe, the more panic stricken they become. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to address this so a person doesn’t enter the spiral that leads to panic.
Worthless Feelings. A symptom of depression although stress sufferers may also feel this way sometimes. This is a terrible feeling to have. Sufferers lose all sense of self worth, self esteem plummets and overly critical self-deprecation is performed, adding to the torment. Self confidence erodes away to nothing and at this point, an individual will find no joy in life, including pastimes and activities that previously brought them so much joy and happiness. The good news is that confidence and self esteem are skills that can be re-learned and along with many other skills form a crucial part in treating depression.
Guilt. A symptom common to stress, anxiety and depression, guilt can be a heavy burden for sufferers because it’s a lose-lose situation: They will feel guilty about things they’ve done or they will feel guilty about things they didn’t do. A continual replaying of events accompanied by regrets and “If only..” causes deep emotional anguish and heaps yet more torment on to an already tormented person. Guilt really is a powerful, destructive but ultimately worthless emotion yet the harm it inflicts on sufferers is immense. Guilt, like many other emotions, can be dealt with very effectively and this is another important skill to master in managing stress, depression and anxiety.
Headaches: Another common symptom of stress, depression and anxiety. This is a physical symptom and in some cases, the headaches turn into migraine, especially for people under severe stress. This is one symptom that shows problems like stress, depression and anxiety aren’t “all in your mind” and clearly demonstrates how stress, depression and anxiety have physical as well as mental symptoms.
Muscle Pain: Mainly a symptom of depression but stress sufferers may also suffer muscle pain. Muscle pain symptoms will typically be backache and leg cramps. These symptoms can be so painful, and a problem is that sufferers will be unaware that the pain is a symptom of depression. Once the depression is controlled, the pain vanishes.
Racing Heartbeat: Not so common with depression, more a symptom of anxiety and stress. Again, the highly-aroused emotional state floods the body with adrenaline and the heart rate rises. This may also cause “butterflies” in the tummy as well.
Loss of Appetite. A symptom common to stress, anxiety and depression, loss of appetite is perhaps one of the most obvious consequences of stress, anxiety and depression because of the emotional state of the sufferer. No one feels like eating when they’re frightened, panic stricken or feeling worthless and exhausted. There are some sufferers whose appetites have increased dramatically but they are in the minority. Loss of appetite is more common, and reducing food intake further affects energy levels and deprives the body of nourishment, further exacerbating stress, depression and anxiety. It’s important to note that the causes of stress, depression and anxiety are not rooted in diet and diet alone cannot cure any of them. However, healthy eating does have a part to play, and it should be a part of your stress, anxiety and depression treatment.
Loss of Sex Drive. Just as above, this symptom occurs because of the emotional state of the sufferer. Paradoxically, many people who are depressed can seek emotional re-assurance from sex even though their sexual appetite has decreased. So loss of sex drive doesn’t necessarily mean abstinence from sex. This is more common to depressed women than men, as for men, being in a highly stressed, anxious or depressed state can make the physical act of sex nigh-on impossible. For reasons that I hope are so obvious I need not go into any more detail! Again, as with the other symptoms, your sex drive will return once stress, depression and anxiety have been brought under control.
Lack of energy. This symptom is common to stress depression and anxiety and no matter how much you try, you just can’t seem to get energized for anything. This affects motivation and so you’re in a catch 22 situation. The less energetic you feel, the more your motivation levels drop. The less motivated you feel, the lower your energy levels become.
Exhaustion. This is major symptom of depression and it is so debilitating. This is a different kind of exhaustion than the exhaustion you feel say after strenuous physical exercise. In depression, the exhaustion is mentally and physically crushing. Even performing simple daily tasks is way too difficult and it doesn’t matter how much you sleep, the exhaustion just won’t go away.
Trembling Hands. This is mainly a stress or anxiety symptom. The sufferer may be in such a nervous, fearful state that the body floods with powerful chemicals such as adrenaline. In this state, the brain is in a high status of alert and trembling hands are a noticeable, physical and uncontrollable symptom. Until of course, the root cause of it is addressed and the trembles will then disappear.

A symptom common to stress, anxiety and depression, guilt can be a heavy burden for sufferers because it’s a lose-lose situation: They will feel guilty about things they’ve done or they will feel guilty about things they didn’t do. A continual replaying of events accompanied by regrets and “If only..” causes deep emotional anguish and heaps yet more torment on to an already tormented person. Guilt really is a powerful, destructive but ultimately worthless emotion yet the harm it inflicts on sufferers is immense. Guilt, like many other emotions, can be dealt with very effectively and this is another important skill to master in managing stress, depression and anxiety.
Headaches: Another common symptom of stress, depression and anxiety. This is a physical symptom and in some cases, the headaches turn into migraine, especially for people under severe stress. This is one symptom that shows problems like stress, depression and anxiety aren’t “all in your mind” and clearly demonstrates how stress, depression and anxiety have physical as well as mental symptoms.
Muscle Pain: Mainly a symptom of depression but stress sufferers may also suffer muscle pain. Muscle pain symptoms will typically be backache and leg cramps. These symptoms can be so painful, and a problem is that sufferers will be unaware that the pain is a symptom of depression. Once the depression is controlled, the pain vanishes.
Racing Heartbeat: Not so common with depression, more a symptom of anxiety and stress. Again, the highly-aroused emotional state floods the body with adrenaline and the heart rate rises. This may also cause “butterflies” in the tummy as well.
Loss of Appetite. A symptom common to stress, anxiety and depression, loss of appetite is perhaps one of the most obvious consequences of stress, anxiety and depression because of the emotional state of the sufferer. No one feels like eating when they’re frightened, panic stricken or feeling worthless and exhausted. There are some sufferers whose appetites have increased dramatically but they are in the minority. Loss of appetite is more common, and reducing food intake further affects energy levels and deprives the body of nourishment, further exacerbating stress, depression and anxiety. It’s important to note that the causes of stress, depression and anxiety are not rooted in diet and diet alone cannot cure any of them. However, healthy eating does have a part to play, and it should be a part of your stress, anxiety and depression treatment.
Loss of Sex Drive. Just as above, this symptom occurs because of the emotional state of the sufferer. Paradoxically, many people who are depressed can seek emotional re-assurance from sex even though their sexual appetite has decreased. So loss of sex drive doesn’t necessarily mean abstinence from sex. This is more common to depressed women than men, as for men, being in a highly stressed, anxious or depressed state can make the physical act of sex nigh-on impossible. For reasons that I hope are so obvious I need not go into any more detail! Again, as with the other symptoms, your sex drive will return once stress, depression and anxiety have been brought under control.

My Beauty Lies . . .
Where Does Your Beauty Lie?
Your Beauty lies in Plain Sight. Plain, simple and the girl next door. People tend overlook you as you are the "normal girl", but you're actually very beautiful. And you have plenty about you to set you apart, but more that lets you blend. People love the stability you have because as others may come and go, you will always be there and you may always be the same. You like simple things and that's what people like about you. You most likely enjoy things most consider normal, like movies, shopping, that sort of thing and are very friendly and probably have many friends. You are sweet and kind and that shows on you, but you're also strong and not very naive. You're a rather well-rounded individual. Even though some people pass you off as just another girl, shrug it off because they don't know what they're missing.
Take this quiz!
Some Things That Represent You:
Element:Earth, Light
Animal: Cat
Color: Pinks, Blues, Browns
Song:Girl Next Door by Pilot
Expression: Simple Smile
Gemstone:Alexandrite
Mythological Creature: Fox Demon, Hobbit
Planet: Jupiter
Hair Color: Light Brown
Eye Color:Brown
Quote:"To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world."

FIRE!
What is your element?
Your element is Fire. Like fire, you have a hot temper and you can be warm and loving as well and angry and wild. It all really comes down to what you are feeling. You have a lot of close friends who you are very protective over, and with your temper probably some enemies too. You are not Miss/Mr Popular in school since you are your own person and don't want to be forced into behaving this or that way. You are the untamed wild horse, the kind that everyone wants to catch. But you don't want to be tied down for the moment and just keep going with your little crushes. Your will is strong and if you set your mind to do something, you will most likely succeed. But beware, your friends may not always accept your mood-swinging behaviour. Even if you don't mean to be mean, they can still feel hurt. You just need to start thinking some things through before you do them, and not always jump in with so much courage. One day you may be hurt because of that, but then again, your element isn't fire if you start to analyse situations before you act. After all, your nature is to shoot first and ask the questions later.

What Power is Compatible With You? [beautiful anime pictures + 12 detailed results]
~*~Result nr 3~*~
Your power is: The ability to fly
Explanation: This powers speaks pretty much for itself. Though you don't need wings for this power,you can fly anyway. Some people may consider it as telekinesis since they can also fly, but you can't make material things move like they can. This ability could be a relaxing activity when you want to get away from everyday troubles. Also it is good when sneaking upon an enemy since it makes no sound. When going over to the "dark side" the power could be used to harrass and break into building through windows etc.
You are quite similar to this power since you like to have your head in the clouds. Supernatural things amuse while ordinary life does not. If your daydreaming has gotten a little too far you might be zooned out all the time, even when you are having a conversation. Your desires and/or goals tend to be unrealistic even if you know those would probably never happen. Travelling is something you would be interested in doing since seeing exotic scenery fits with your fantasies of escaping your plain life. You can also have some creative ability (writer, playing an instrumen etc) that interests you.
Negative aspects: The whole reason you may be escaping life could be fear of being let down by it. So if that would come to happen, and an important dream had been crushed you could get depressed.
