• profile"The peace we seek to win is not victory over any other people, but the peace that comes with healing in its wings; with compassion for those who have suffered; with understanding for those who have opposed us; with the opportunity for all the peoples." -Richard Nixon

    If you take the time to read through these pages of my healing journey, you will see the hills and valleys. Those highs and lows continue to take me toward my ultimate goal: one of peace within, one of compassion for others who have been through their own hills and valleys and one of opportunity for all (also known as reform). I strive, at this time, to find that inner peace. Join me as I fail miserably each day but find faith and hope enough to wake the next morning and try again.



*smirk* So True

It’s time for a brief dip into True Blog Confessions and then a funny line. Why a dip into TBC? Well, to tell you the funny line I have to admit that I watch a teeny-bopper, uber-emo show. But so does my Husband. So, at least we’re lame together.

We’re totally addicted to One Tree Hill. And have been for awhile. There, I said it. Last night’s episode delivered a few funny lines. I thought my readers would appreciate this one.

The only thing people use the internet for is complaining and p0rn.

My Husband looked at me, smirked and I threatened to throw a pillow about him and follow it up with a complaint about him on teh intrawebz!

That said, I’m tired of Lindsey but I can’t bring myself to read the spoiler blogs. Why? Because, what if Lucas doesn’t call off the wedding? What if he DOES marry her? Doesn’t he know that he’s supposed to marry PEYTON! ZOMG! Yeah. I told you. I get all teen-angst-emo about the show. I feel very much the same way as I did when I was trying to see if Ross and Rachel would get together in the end. Then again, that time frame was emotionally skewed since the Friends writers were busy writing crappy stereotypes about the birth mother that gave birth to Chandler and Monica’s twins. Oh, adoption. Why must you be in all of my shows? (That said, yes, adoption has marred OTH from very early on as Peyton had a “mom” and a “birth mom.” And an absentee dad. In fact, everyone has/had absentee parents. That’s what teen shows are about! WEE!)

Of course, I initially wanted Dawson and JD to be together but then switched it to JD and Pacey. (Though I just wrote Dawson and Pacey and that made me laugh out loud.) So, technically I’m winning in my wishes for people to be together. But I don’t want to wait until the show ends for Peyton and Lucas to be together. I need immediate gratification. NOW! NOW!

How’s this post for a departure from my normal angst since people have been complaining to be about being to complain-y? Ah, but, dontcha see? That’s what the internet is for. Ah yes.

Anyway. Get back to your complaining. Because there ain’t no p0rn here! *smirk*

(I think the line goes along well with the light-bulb moment presented in Judy’s recent post, no?)


I freaking LOVE one tree hill. My husband and I watch it faithfully every week!

And Gossip Girl

And I was a JD/dawson girl until the end.

I swear, my love of bad television is legendary.

I don’t watch OTH but omg you just made me all nostalgic for Dawson’s Creek. Maybe I should put it on the Netflix and make Mike suffer through it with me… Mwahahahahaha!!!

I’m addicted to OTH, October Road and Gossip Girl.

Same reason as you..oh the teenage angst gives me butterflies in my belly.

I am dying because I haven’t yet watched this weeks episode of OTH!!! Can’t afford Tivo in my apartment so I sneak back to my parents house to watch shows that I still season pass :)

And seriously. Lindsay??? Ugh. She is just not right.
