The Life Lesson

Mood:thankful

Happy Thanksgiving my loyal followers. While sitting here waiting for the Turkey (it's almost finished and it looks delicious) to be finished;waiting to feast, I thought I'd give a little love to my friends here on Blogger. Just a moment ago I helped my mom cook the Thanksgiving feast. You see, it's just the four of us (my mom, my dad, my baby sister Sophia, and me), so unlike you - we're going to have a small feast. Why you ask, aren't you with your Grandparents or such? It's because they are halfway around the globe, that's why. But I don't care that it's just the four of us. I'm just as happy and joyful as the rest of ye' little minions! [:

So this thanksgiving, not only should you be thankful for what you have, but also what you don't have (i.e: herpes, AIDS, swine flu...) As I am waiting to feast like a swine, here are some things that I am thankful for this lovely month.

• I am thankful for the roof over my head
• the food that I'm going to be pigging out on
• my parents
• my family
• I'm thankful that my grandparents on both sides of the family are still healthy and fabulous!
• Sophia[:
• for the clothes on my skin (& tons in my closet!)
• my education
• to be healthy this cold Autumn
• for the extra money I get to spend on whatever I like
• that the world isn't really going to end in 2012 (or is it?) O_o
• to be able to eat sushi drenched in soy sauce and wasabi wherever I like
• for the lovely country that I am living in.
• (And last but not least), I am thankful for my followers, many of whom have become my friends; and most of all - you.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

one: I go to school just to see you. ♥

two: give me one good reason why

I should fall in love with you.

three: every time I try to walk away,

there's always something that reminds me

I should stay.

four: And if you give me a chance

-if you give us a chance-

I'm going to live the rest of my life

proving to you

that you made the right decision.

The First Letter; Immortal Beloved

Mood:inspirational

July 6, in the morning,

My angel, my all, my very self - Only a few words today and that with pencil (with yours) - Not till tomorrow will my lodgings be definitely determined upon - what a useless waste of time - Why this deep sorrow when necessity speaks - can our love endure except through sacrifices, through not demanding everything from one another; can you change the fact that you are not wholly mine, I not wholly thine - Oh God, look out into the beauties of nature and comfort your heart with that which must be - Love demands everything and that very justly - thus it is to me with you, and to your with me. But you forget so easily that I must live for me and for you; if we were wholly united you would feel the pain of it as little as I - My journey was a fearful one; I did not reach here until 4 o' clock yesterday morning. Lacking horses the post coach chose another route, but what an awful one; at the stage before the last I was warned not to travel at night; I was made fearful of a forest, but that only made me the more eager - and I was wrong. The coach must needs break down on the wretched road, a bottomless mud road. Without such postilions as I had with me I should have remained stuck in the road. Esterhazy, traveling the usual road here, had the same fate with eight horses that I had with four - Yet I got some pleasure out of it, as I always do when I successfully overcome difficulties - Now a quick change to things internal from things external. We shall surely see each other soon; moreover, today I cannot share with you the thoughts I have had during these last few days touching my own life - If our hearts were always close together, I would have none of these. My heart is full of so many things to say to you - ah - there are moments when I feel that speech amounts to nothing at all - Cheer up - remain my true, my only treasure, my all as I am yours. The gods must send us the rest, what for us must and shall be -

Your faithful Ludwig (van Beethoven.)

The United Nerds of America

Mood:dorky

So I'm in Algebra I; usually a 9th grade class. But I'm only in 8th grade. Last year, eligible math students got to take the Algebra test to see if they could pass it and get into Algebra one year early. You're reading the words of one proud nerd, honey. My friend Aaron somehow got into 10th grade Geometry and he has to walk over to the high school everyday for math. (Hehe, nerd!) Anyway, here is one of the problems we have to do on our math homework. I couldn't freakin' figure out what x equals! X, the 23rd letter in the English alphabet! Here's my proposal, friends. I'll have a contest. Whoever figures out the solution of the problem (correctly!) gets a personlised banner-award from me. After I get my homework corrected, I'll tell you what the answer really was and who got it right. (God, I feel so dumb right now.) I'm sure those of you who are in high school could figure it out easliy. Turn on your nerd button! GET SET - GO!

-(18+x)=2(11-6x)+x

Think you've got enough brain power? Comment-post your answer below! <3

Love always,

Candydork!

Into The Velveteen Sky

Mood:Inspired

Poem © 2009 by Candice A. Anderson. All rights reserved.

I wish, I wish,
I could disappear,

without a word,

into the Velveteen sky.

~

I'll ascend down into the water with the fish,

and please, don't come for me dear,

for that would be absurd,

for you, also, to whisper goodbye.

~

Twinkle twinkle little star,

how I wonder...can you be far?

Fly me away into the moon.

I hope, I hope, I can see you soon!

~

Okay, so I've been writing a lot of dark poetry lately. I'm not sure why. Don't panic! I'm not gonna consider suicide or anything like that...ever. I guess it's sort of my way of venting. Anyway, don't be lazy;leave a comment will ya'?

xoxo,
Candice.
P.S. How was your Halloween? Mine was pretty fun, even though it was too cold where I live, so my friends & I didn't get a much candy as we did last year. Last year, our pillowcases were nearly filled up. But weather here is pretty unpredictable. So, how was you Halloween?
