yeh i kno its been like ages. year ten sucks so bad. but im gonna try and do a monthly update on the 13th of every month, not counting now. or around that date anyway, like depending on how i can get acses to a computer or not and stuff.

harleys saying how he wants to change schools which sucks. and alyson wanted to go vegan but her parents wouldnt let her. she was really bummed about it and says shes gonna still try and do it in secret. heres a poem i wrote about that.

oh yeh but before i put the poem on, every month i think ill put up the best poem i wrote. sometimes i only write one poem in a month other times i write like five or twelve or something it depends on what speaks to me.


the enforcers

they tell you what to do
they tell you where to go
they tell you how to act
but do they really even know?

they tell you not to smoke
they tell you not to drink
they tell you not to do drugs
and try to tell you how to think

like a flower you grow
they keep you in their greenhouse
but theres no need for the gardeners
to keep heaping fertilizer upon your house

whatever you do
whatever you say
however you act
its not good enough for they

but your still like that flower
trapped in they're nest
and yet all we hear
is 'father knows best'.

yeah im pretty proud of it, i think im gonna submit it for the english prize in a few weeks. alyson wrote it out in red pen in her diary. i put the first copy (after i wrote it out agin) on my wall.

Hey Courtney. Have you ever thought of competing in the Rock Eisteddfod? It would be a good way to express your feelings and desires.

I'm sure if you asked your teacher you could probably work in an emo theme with the costumes and everything. Maybe you could also work some My Chemical Romance into the dance bits - i dunno if you like them or not :)

Anyhoo I reckon it would be totally sweet.

Sometimes the world looks perfect
Nothing to rearrange
Sometimes you get a feeling like you need some kind of change
No matter what the odds are this time
nothing’s going to stand in my way
This flame in my heart and a long lost friend.
Gives every dark street a light at the end

Standing tall on the wings of my dream
Rise and fall on the wings of my dream

The rain and thunder the wind and haze
I’m bound for better days
It’s my life and my dream
Nothing’s going to stop me now

Hey Courtney, glad you finally stopped posting. No one really likes to hear your EMOtional bitching. If you're so "alternative", then how come all of the bands you have listed I have heard of before? I can list many quality bands you have never heard of before (unlike like your crappy quality bands everyone has heard of). If you are so intelligent, how come sometimes I have problems deciphering what you are trying to say? Learn to spell. Emo is not anti-conformist. It is pro-conformist. Very many people do it. As for your "vegan in secret" friend alyson, even though that is her choice of life style, and i respect that, my opinion is that becoming a vegan is an unintelligent choice. If we were made to eat vegetables/products not from animals, we would be cows. Maybe your friend Alyson is a cow?
