"She was only seventeen, lost in the spaces in between, looking for a place she could belong. He was a new face on the scene, another punk with his heart on his sleeve, he was gonna change the world with his song. But the world has its own ideas, we all must play the hand fate deals. When our plans have come and gone, we all sing a one heart song. We All Sing Along!"

At the moment I'm listening to "We All Sing Along - The Bouncing Souls".

I've had a pretty emotionally crazy week. I guess my food poisoning I had last night and today hopefully brings my mental and physical sickness to a stop, for now. I really just need to keep my head focused on Uni and my close mates!

I made cookies today to ease my mind, check the photo below! They were peanut butter and choc-chip cookies! RIDICULOUSLY yummy!! They made me happy!! :D

I'm quite looking forward to my weekend! It should definitely take my mind off things! I'm going to see my mates band on Friday night, Saturday day I have an 'Equal Marriage Rights' rally in the city, Saturday night I might be going to the footy (not sure yet) and Sunday is mothers day!

As far as 'The Raven' is going, I have completely memorised the first 5 stanzas. I think I'll stop there (it's only the start of the poem that I like):

"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
`'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.'

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore -
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore -
Nameless here for evermore.

And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me - filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating
`'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door -
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door; -
This it is, and nothing more,'

Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
`Sir,' said I, `or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;
But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,
And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,
That I scarce was sure I heard you' - here I opened wide the door; -
Darkness there, and nothing more.

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, `Lenore!'
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, `Lenore!'
Merely this, and nothing more".

I have a lot to look forward to! Hopefully this pain will go away soon! Really hope so! For all of you guys reading my blog, I love you all and thanks for putting up with my shit! :D <3
