Flying Home
Its hard to let you go
You've always let me in
And helped with all the endings
And you know where to begin
I need you here for me
Cause you always know my heart
I cant believe we'd change
Or have to be apart
But if you've seen the love that's in his eyes
Then everything is good
And if you know the way he felt inside
He's flying where he should
I never believed we'd ever live to see
An angel being born and flying home
Its good to know your laugh
And you'll always hold my hand
And watch from up in heaven
And always understand
We'll take you down the road
And in everything we do
We'll know how much you love us
A soul that's kind and true.
But if you've seen the love that's in his eyes
Then everything is good
And if you know the way he felt inside
He's flying where he should
I never believed we'd ever live to see
An angel being born and flying home

Narcissus
I know you've had your butt licked by your mother
I know you've enjoyed all that attention from her
And every woman graced with your presence after
Dear narcissus boy,
I know you've never really apologized for anything
I know you've never really taken responsibility
I know you've never really listened to a woman
Dear me-show boy,
I know you're not really into conflict resolution
Or seeing both sides of every equation
Or having an uninterrupted conversation
And any talk of healthiness
And any talk of connectedness
And any talk of resolving this
Leaves you running for the door
(why why do I try to love you, try to love you when you really don't want me to)
Dear egotist boy,
You've never really had to suffer any consequence
You've never stayed with anyone longer than ten minutes
You'd never understand anyone showing resistance
Dear popular boy,
I know you're used to getting everything so easily
A stranger to the concept of reciprocity
People honor boys like you in this society
And any talk of selflessness
And any talk of working at this
And any talk of being of service
Leaves you running for the door
(why why do I try to help you, try to help you when you really don't want me to)
You go back to the women who will dance the dance
You go back to your friends who will lick your ass
You go back to ignoring all the rest of us
You go back to the center of your universe
Dear self centered boy,
I don't know why I still feel affected by you
I've never lasted very long with someone like you
I never did although I have to admit I wanted to
Dear magnetic boy,
You've never been with anyone who doesn't take your shit
You've never been with anyone who's dared to call you on it
I wonder how you'd be if someone were to call you on it
And any talk of willingness
And any talk of both feet in
And any talk of commitment
Leaves you running for the door
(why why do I try to change you try to, try to change you when you really don't want me to)
You go back to the women who will dance the dance
You go back to your friends who will lick your ass
You go back to being so oblivious
You go back to the center of the universe

Talking to Americans Part II
After that lovely exchange of words, Mr.Intelligence's daughter approaches me and I am once again speechless. ( twice in one day is pretty tough, well done.) I take a double look at the "Bling" hanging around her neck, and what I see is absolutely appauling. She has a gargantuan charm covered in jewels and crystals in the form of a very detailed HAND GUN! Call me old fashioned, but I really find that repulsive and extremely un-appropriate. If my daughter were to ever wear something so tasteless and un-fashion saavy I would rip that thing right off her neck, and send her straight to boot camp. (well, actually Ill just go ahead and admit right now that I would probably undo it properly, I mean who wants to ruin a perfectly good chain...minus the ghastly charm of course?)
So completely off topic, a lot has gone down lately, both for the good and bad. I will unveil these updates in the very new future...If i want.
History Brief
Growing up I was on a skipping team for a solid 11 years of my life. I loved every single part of that sport. (yes it IS a sport.) And before you start making assumptions no we did not just bounce around chanting "had a little sportscar in 1978 took it around the cooooooorner and slammed on the breaks. policeman stopped me and put me in jail, all i had was ginger ale, how many bottles did i drink..1...2...3.." ok wait a minute. Just because I know that rhyme does not mean anything...hmm..Im really not supporting my argument to well. But I don't care about that, because once you watch these videos I will have made a believer out of you.
First of all, let me give you a quick breakdown on how a skipping competition goes down:
They are usually 2 days long. First day is generally speed and endurance. In this catagory there is both single and team events. An example of an event is single rope 30 second speed. My best time if i remember correctly was 168 revolutions in 30 seconds. If you don't understand how fast that is, i suggest you try running in one spot for 30 seconds counting only one leg. You may be lucky to break 70. You then take that number and times it by two. (obviously so you can count for both feet.) The same rules apply to team events, except for it is done in double dutch and one person is skipping working their ass off and two people are turning the ropes at lightning speed. An example of another event is called "power" and it is where you do as many double or triple unders as you can until you mess up.
Second day is generally the freestyle day. This is where it really gets creative. As a single skipper your routines are usually close to a minute long, and you must pack as MANY of the hardest tricks you can into this tiny window of opportunity. Points are knocked off for mess ups and added for difficulty, use of space, creativity, time to music, and certain other technicalities (much like figure skating. including the politics.) Same rules apply to team, you are just in the double dutch format with either one single skipper or two skippers in the middle.
Now that you have been briefed i think you are almost ready.
I attended numerous competitions throughout my time on the Rhythm Ropers and closer to the end of my career, placed in the top 3 at provinicial and national levels for the greater part of my performances. (as a single and as part of a team.) It is something that I am proud of and I can brag about it if i want. I gotta lot of blue kickin around in the ribbons and metal bin i have stashed away. I kicked some serious ass. So for all you non believers out there, Ima guna make a believer out of yous. If more people skipped with the intensity and drive that these next videos do, maybe skipping would finally be recognized as a real sport. (even though it already is a real sport, I made that very clear at the beginning. I' just saying maybe now people will ACKNOWLEDGE that.) The only vids I could find on youtube so far are all double dutch freestyle, but its a good start. Anyways, i guess you can watch the videos now. I really miss skipping, can you tell?

Life Update
- got my bike here finally. Now I can bike to work and save buttloads of money.
- Have just signed up to become a volunteer at "NEED" a crisis line here in victoria. My traning will commence sept.29th.
- Have lost 10 lbs. Don't look any different but i guess its 10 lbs of something from somewhere right?
- Another peice of good news goes here but its subject cannot yet be disclosed.
- Victoria idol starts on sept.29th. Well this is when my audition cd needs to be in. I have to have 2 pre-recorded songs and my friend cody is going to help me out. Still don't know if i am going to endure this at a recording studio or try to create a makeshift one at my house. Any suggestions?This may quite possibly be the most terrifying experience I have ever done as of yet. I still can't believe im doing this. But i will keep you updated with the progress, if any.
That's basically it for the brief news update. It's my day off today but I have just been notified there is a possibility I will be called in so i better go to the gym now or i wont get to go.
What if it all means something?
Believe me I would
Do you feel the same? Feel the same as me?
If I could be anyone for you,
Believe me I would
I'm not ashamed not ashamed to be.
Its hard for me to know,
Sometimes I feel like letting go
But what if it all means something?
If I could go anywhere for you,
Believe me I would
I'd run away, I'd ran away, I'd leave.
If I could fix everything for you,
Believe me I would
Do you feel the same, feel the same as me?
Its hard for me to know, well maybe I should just let go.
But what if it all means something?

Overdue
So I have been doing something for the last month and am now ready to disclose what it is. It has taken me a while because I wanted to make sure I was going to be 100 % into it and a bit successful before i disclosed this information to the world only to let myself down in public.
I am on a fitness and meal plan through my gym. This is what my week looks like:
Mon - Weights & Core class
Tues - Cardio
Wed - Weights
Thursday - Cardio
Friday - Weights
Sat - Cardio
Sun - Weights
I know it looks boring but i do in fact do different things on the days marked "cardio" and still do cardio on the days marked weights. So really that is not even a remotely good representation of my week at all.
On another note, the meal plan is fantastic. I have only been on the nutrition plan for 11 days now but It is completely personalized to my choices. (they had me pick things out of a huge list and then It got sent away to make MY book) .It is based on the "zone" theory and concentrates on keeping your blood sugar levels the same throughout the day (among a plethora of other things.) It it is based on a 2 and 3 point system. A 3 point meal is made up of 3 Protien points, 3 Carbs, and 3 fats. Your snacks are instead 2, 2, and 2. (you get it. its not complicated math....well maybe for me.) Anyways, it focuses on created a completely balanced diet so you are not depriving your body of things it still needs (like carbohydrates...)and it is designed to help create muscle mass and reduce weight mass.
It is a huge book and I have learnt so much already. My days are planned out for me but it is easy to replace food with other things that have the same value, there is even a conversion chart to help me :) And best of all, my grocery lists are already made so I don't even have to think about it when i go shopping. Only downside is I am spending twice as much money on groceries as I was before (there is actually a new list every week) but I haven't eaten out at all so I guess it weighs out.
Now, some of you may be wondering "well has she lost any weight?" And my response is this. For some strange and unknown reason I am not yet willing to divuldge my original weight amount before this little project. It is completely bizarre since I just recently uncovered my inability to do fractions on a very large and PUBLIC scale which is probably far more embarassing then my weigt will ever be, but I just at this time and no comfortable doing so. But I will tell you this:
- I have gained 6 lbs of muscles mass
- I have lost 7 lbs of fat mass
- And have reduced my Fat % down 4 percent.
And on a whole I have lost 5 lbs.
Right now I don't feel like I look any different, but I am way happier and I have definately noticed a change in my energy level and also have improved mental acuity. (although my co-workers may beg to differ based on how many times I have forgotten my day planner at work i nthe last week...).
So that's that. Its a go. If anyone has any suggestions or would like more information on my nutrition and welness plan just ask. I am not afraid of questions and as you probably already know I would tell yo anything..yeah other then that weight thing.
But now its time for some bike action. Off to the gym I go.
10th wonder of the world
over to the point of tonights post...aaand switch.
Today at work i did not have a hair elastic. However, when i put my hair into a bun, it stayed there for over 2 hours. Without any assistance from so much as a clip, bobby pin or hair elastic. nothing. ziltch. wich is why I am proclamining this phenomenon an unexplainable wonder of the world. the 10th in fact. Left a lot of room between 7 and 10 to ensure that way i am not stepping on any other wonder of the worlds toes, cuz that would be a tragedy.
Off to make some more earrings. gotta keep up with the daily minimum of making 3 per day.
out and over.
step by step
I could not believe my ears. There it was, a brand new white jetta with one induvidual driving the car, with a sound system turned up louder then my headphones on my ipod busting out "step by step" by new kids on the block.
Now let me tell you, whomever you are...i know you are out there somewhere...you are my idol and quite possibly my soulmate. No one else would have this kind of courage, and for that i praise you.
I am still speechless..if you don't count the 216 some odd words I have just typed out..225...226... ok enough of that.
Good riddance.
P.S. For those of you who did not spend the majority of your early childhood in the 80s and early 90s, let me tell you this. New Kids on the Block were musical geniouses. Nothing will ever be able to match that kind of pure, solid talent...haha..oh and the dancing skills...
Productivity level = + 300%

I have had my eye on this little number for a while. Also, some of you extremely observant people may notice a certain thread chilling out in this picture. Well it is gone now, my camera died and i don't have time to change the batteries. (hmm.do i not have time or am i just lazy?....not sure.) I'll have more pictures up soon. There is a bigger story behind these sheets..not sure if i will share it for the sake of coming across as a bit creepy, i'll have to think about it.
Lisa the queen of productivity. (this is not a joke. please familiarize yourself with the post titled ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS - THIS IS NOT A JOKE for more information regarding when i am joking and how to react.)
Loosen up my buttons baby.....i just ate.
Tribute to the Pussycat Dolls - "Buttons"

I think this one speaks for itself. Can you tell how much this song repulses me? I had to make this as a retaliation because unfourtunately praying does not stop songs from coming on the radio as I was unpleasantly surprised by this little number which was ironically accompanied by justin timberlake's "sexy back" once again this morning. BARF.
Public Service Announcement
And now I pray.
To the radio gods. Oh mighty ones. For the love of all things holy please refrain from playing this song more then once in one hour, i really dispise waking up to it. You know how it infuriates me to see him flaunting my material. Amen.
p.s. I would also like to thank kirsten dunst for no apparent reason.
Definition - Broughten:
a.To bring something.....before someone else?
b. I had already planned on fighting you.
(For the recond, since we are on the topic of being original, some of you nerds that watch stupid movies *cough* bring it on *cough, may argue that use of this word is anything but original. This IS however my material, I did create the word broughten. thats right i claim this as my own without any guilt or remorse what so ever. and you cannot stop me.)
Interrupted.
Kind Regards,
Lisa the crumpy.

Steveiecore- says:
but i write SO SLOW that way.
Lisabelle says:
i just cant.
Steveiecore- says:
i can...
Steveiecore- says:

snowbirds



comon, hit me
With his arms spread out, shirt in hand, he turned around and slurred "com'on hit me...hit me...hit me tough guy.."
I didn't know what to think. It was so creepy. I couldn't believe how close I came to hitting him. I wonder what he would have done if I had.
Anyways..i honked the horn which in turn made him more agressive so I decided to just wait it out. After a few minutes I got a little break when he stumbled to the side of my car and I took off. I am not guna lie, I was quite frightened even though I did lock my car doors right away. But in a way I kind of felt bad for him. I didn't want him or anyone to get hurt so I called 911 right away and they informed me that they were already on their way. Turns out I wasn't the only person stopped in my tracks by this human being that night.
To the man in the middle of the road, try as hard as you can to not encourage people in automobiles to hit you. We do have an advantage and some people unfourtunately are not as patient or kind in this type of situation as I was. Also, if its possible, please try to control your alcohol/drug intake. My senses tell me that they do not help your decision making skills. If it is not possible to do this alone, there are people to help you out. Good luck to you.
Goodnight all.
