Our dream can become a reality

This is going to be very self indulgent and pompous. So let's jump straight in, shall we?

I think without a doubt that I live a charmed life. Yes, it is not perfect and I do spent an awful lot of time worrying but, deep down, (and well, not all too deep) it is truly wonderful.

I like to think of myself as a Jack of all trades (master of none) and although when you read it in 'les mis' it is a derogatory phrase, I do not feel that way at all. I am only limited by my imagination in the exploits I wish to pursue. I can and will, paint and sing and write and read and sew and knit and film and record and see, anything I want. I even take joy (though I don't work at it as much as I should) in the physics and maths and mechanics of that which I am studying. I can also spend my free time with those who I love and fulfill my need to do something, anything, good for the world, when I get the immense privelege of getting to know beautiful children.

I know, I talk about the same things over and over again in this "blog" but it's who I am. all this is a part of me. I can't help it.

I have recently seen 'footloose' for the first time, am continueing to make my way through the 'bloody jack' and 'Alex Rider' series, watched my old highschool's production of 'High School Musical' last night and am currently watching the Christian Bale version of Little Women. Oh, and I also had a lovely chat with someone who i haven't seen in a while on facebook this morning. I am content.

Study week is a week away and then the dreaded exams.eh, I'll study once the movie ends.

Until next time,
Katherine

If you wanna shine your light, you gotta go higher

Ok, I'm just gonna come out and say it, if I ever was to be the debrief leader on a camp, I have just found my debrief song.

My debrief songs have been (in no particular order)
Circle of Life - The Lion King
The Middle -Jimmy Eat World
Defying Gravity - Wicked
Light and Day - The Polyphonic Spree
The Moment of Truth - Survivor
Waiting on the World to Change - John Mayer (which still confuses me)
Get Ready - Live
It's never too late - Michael Franti

As I've said before I like 'I've got Nothing' by the Chart Jackers and 'Here Comes the Sun' by the Beatles. (Let's dance to Joy Division is in the maybe pile because I don't think everyone will appreciate 'everything is going wrong but we're so happy' which is the only line remotley acceptable in the song.)

Now I like this song for a few reasons. One, the obvious, the lyrics of -

"Run a little wild. Dive into the danger.
Don't you think twice.
Standing on the edge of life. Walking on a wire.
Jump in the fire.
Jump in the fire tonight"

"If you wanna shine your light, you gotta go higher.
And jump in the fire.
Jump in the fire tonight."

They're nice and enouraging. Two) it's upbeat and bopy and a little cheesy and all the good things you want at 11 o'clock at night to keep you awake for two minutes longer and motivate you for the next day. Three) It's off a 90s kids TV show and we're looking after kids so it kind of fits.

Until next time,
Katherine
