1. What did you do in 2003 that you'd never done before?
- I danced on stage.one of ballet and one of jazz.It was a wonderful experience.I had always wanted to do this and after a year of classes and lots of rehearsals I managed to get it right in the end.The theater was beautiful and it was a whole new place for me since im always going to the same places.It felt like an adventure i'd love to repeat again.
I also managed to get into music school.Im learning theory,choir and piano andits been a really rocky road but im still alive(yay).
2. What would you like to have in 2004 that you lacked in 2003?
A more oganized life.Making much better choices.I'd love to have more confidence in myself and in my abilities.To be able to be more like myself and lesss of what is convenient.There's so many things but they can be all sumed up in this word:balance.I never have it and although most of my grades are rarely affected,the pre-calculus and physics can be and with them my self-esteem.

Reading books was my only help during that time.

The Pope(as always ;) )
- And many others

Mine most of the time.crying and what not.I don't like crying or getting hurt in front of people.They can make you feel ten times worse.
A friend of mine decided to attack me one day and I just stood there hearing her because didn't know how to fight bck andmy other friendjust stood there two very quiet.After thatI left to where my other two friends(Gaby and Pheebs) and cry like a child.silly

Some quotes that made me think and some that I just love to pieces:
"You know, after my mom died, everybody told me that I was gonna be ok. That, it would take a little time, but I would heal. Well, that didn't ever happen; not really anyway. . . What you're feeling right now Amy, it doesn't ever really go away -- not completely. It's not like, ya know, you're gonna go back to being the person you were before they died -- the person's gone. It's more like something inside of you breaks and your body finds a way to compensate for it. Like if you busted your right hand, you figure out how to use the left one. And sure, you might resist for awhile because you're pissed off that you have to learn all this stuff again that nobody else does. Eventually your body takes over and figures it out for you. And your glad. because if it was up to you. . . you'd look at your broken hand forever and try to figure out what it was like before."
- Ephram - everwood
"Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine." LOL
Amy: I just want to feel better again. I just want to feel normal.
Dr. Brown: "Are you drunk?"
Ephram: "Obviosly not enbough, but we can change that, toss me a hienekein!"
Amy: Anyone else at County just tries to kill everyone else's good mood with their bad one. But you don't. . .you just make it funny. How do you do that?
Ephram:What do I do?
Amy: You make light of a situation even if it sucks... I want to do that.
