a life you don't live is still lost

please answer YES or NO.

in the last 12 months, have you:
1) had male to male sex?
2) had syphilis, herpes, or any other form of STD?
3) been pregnant, or given birth?
4) breastfed a child?

these are the kinds of questions they ask you when you decide to give blood.

today, i had just over 400mLs of blood sucked out of my arm. you're supposed to give 470mLs, but if you're a little small, or if your blood's a little uncooperative, you give less. as it was, i spent 15 minutes in the chair [almost twice the normal time] and i only managed to pump out 405 mLs.

but...... i left with a full stomach, a very cute soft toy, and a gaping hole in my arm.

it feels nice knowing that i might be able to save three lives
though.

ok, maybe two and a half.

save three lives. give blood.


blogger is being really difficult tonight. none of my pictures will upload.
but here... the new Goo Goo Dolls single for the Transformers movie.




Before It's Too Late Goo Goo Dolls

I wonder through fiction to look for the truth
Buried beneath all the lies
and I stood at a distance
To feel who you are
Hiding myself in your eyes

and hold on before it's too late
Until we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives

and the risk that might break you
Is the one that would save
A life you dont live is still lost
So stand on the edge with me
Hold back your fear and see
Nothing is real til it's gone

Hold on before its too late
Until we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives

So live like you mean it
Love til you feel it
It's all that we need in our lives
So stand on the edge with me
Hold back your fear and see
Nothing is real til it's gone

Hold on before its too late
Until we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives

Hold on before its too late
Until we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives

It's all that we need in our lives
It's all that I need in my life


this guy sings such nice lyrics.

hi kim, this is sharon here.

Ive thought about it and i realise no im not okay about it.. because now that i think about it, i feel sick. Well, actualy i felt sick, after we left, i was sick , sick of all the things that went behind my back that i hoped wernt true. Then i felt sorry, sorry for what i put everyone through, and how i made them feel so disgusted and like pissed. Then i felt angry , angry that they had a right to butt in and tell me off. Then i was especialy pissed at certain ppl bcoz i thought of the times when i thought they dint care about it when i have instead found out they were one of the main ones who hated me touching. and yes i know everyone hated me touching and perhaps u disagree and say that there was no main ones and they all hated it equally, but the point is. im annoyed at how superficial everything is, im not saying im totaly perfect and a non hyprocrite bcoz we all are.. truth is we are all two faced and hypocritical. I just dont get why its so fuccking complicated, okayes you all hate it.. i get it.. but do u have to wait so effing long until u tell me.. ? now i just feel so effed up.. and i feel like a total slut and its just like. shyte..

gawd if i dont sound normal.. its probz coz my minds going damn weird right now.. and i would send u an email or wateva , but msn sucks shit and aint working. excuse the swear words, its very rude and i try my best not to swear but i just need to let out some steam. i dint mean undermine so many ppl [if that is the right word] but i need to put the blame on something right now, and human nature says it cnt b me!


mmm.. let off a bit now.. so i think for now its okay, would say more but i dont think i should.
bye kim
sorry for u know.. making u caught up in the middle, i bet u get so damn sick of it.. and if u dont, i get sick of it for u

dont u juz hate how u get caught in the middle.. but then again, here i go.. contradicting myself..


pfft,,, typical,

shar... it's okay.
seriously, don't worry about it.

like i said before, it's really none of our business, and you have the right to tell everyone to butt out if you want to.

and again, like i said, nobody wanted to tell you because there was no way they could have said it without sounding offensive. we're 16, and totally tactless.

breathe a little. two weeks break, give yourself a little room.

we don't love you any less. not at all. and i know that's not the point, but you just need to know that we are NOT gonna turn on you just cause of something stupid like this.

chin up, sharon.
