( [Oui.] )

I try to give people the benefit of the doubt. I try really really hard. Not everyone thinks like I do. Not everyone has the same values and ideas and goals as I do. Still, there should be some decency ( Read more... )

I'm stubborn. Always have been. Never know when to give up. Throw in the towel, Stéphane, it's just not worth it.

Except when it is.

And then it's worth everything in the world, every bit of hurt I've ever been through. Worth it all and more.

I just hope I can make it like that for him. Time will tell, but we may have taken the first step.

I'm going to find him. It doesn't matter if he can never love me in that way. I love him and I know he cares about me. He can use a friend, and I can at least be that to him.

Sometimes love does hurt. It's not supposed to, but it does. Some people might say that true, genuine love doesn't hurt, when there's trust and mutual respect and understanding. If that's so, does true love ever exist, other than small isolated pockets that don't last long? Even couples who have been happily together for years probably hurt each ( Read more... )

I'm back in Toronto. I'll be at the shows tonight and tomorrow. I'm sorry that I wasn't able to make last week's. Josh, I'm very glad to know you're still around here, but don't think you can horn in on the beer wenching duties of Diego and myself.

They say that we're just average, normal Canadian kids. Young people who live in your town, attend school or work in your neighbourhood, shop where you shop, drink coffee next to you at Tim Horton's, argue over who has the best chances of bringing home Lord Stanley's cup this coming season ( Read more... )

In other words, the song meme. I liked Ashley's idea of a theme, so I stole borrowed it. Not the same theme, just the idea of one.

ETA: I'm going to be kind of picky about the artists, because the theme has to do with them, and I have specific ones in mind. These songs are not obscure, they're easy. So there's going to be a lot of half-credit ( Read more... )

It was with great difficulty that I left Toronto after the wild card round. After all the nerves and singing and hugs and kisses and congratulations, I wanted to stay and keep hugging and kissing and congratulating. Alas, I had no good reason to stay, and ten good reasons to leave: my ten friends, now the Canadian Idol Top Ten, who I didn't want to ( Read more... )
