HELP TALIA !!!

So I was reading the comments in reference to my 12/21 posting and came across one posted by some nameless loser who called me a nasty name. Not only did this person do something mean, but they didn't leave their name meaning that they are a coward too. I found out that she is a friend of He Who Should Not Be Named and she did it after he had to "vent" to her.
~Anywho, if you, my friends and readers are so inclined, you can help me out. Send an e-mail to one of the two mentioned above and let them know that stomping on someone's happiness, calling someone bad names on the internet, and being a general over-all pain in the butt is unacceptable. The e-mail addresses are He Who Should Not Be Named: [email protected] and The Offender: [email protected] . If you choose to help me out send me a note to let me know. Better yet, send me a copy of your letter.
~Happy Holidays from Talia

Never A Dull Moment

So I'm still alive although some people don't think so since I haven't posted in a long time. I finished up student teaching and on Saturday the 15th I graduated from college. It's only taken me seven years to accomplish this so I'm more than a little bit excited. Then, like that wasn't cool enough, on Wednesday the 19th Killian proposed. I was so stunned that I stood there and stared at him on bended knee and he kinda had to ask me again cuz I didn't say anything. Gosh I'm a goof! Of course I said yes!!!!!!! So now I join the ranks of the happily engaged. No, this whole blog is not going to turn into a day by day account of the pending nuptuials (we have quite a while since Killian and I haven't set a date). I plan on complaining daily about my lack of employment and the fact that life goes on. Boy am I lazy. Later kids.

WE REMEMBER

'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS,
HE LIVED ALL ALONE,
IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE MADE OF PLASTER AND STONE.
I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE,
AND TO SEE JUST WHO
IN THIS HOME DID LIVE.
I LOOKED ALL ABOUT,
A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE,
NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS,
NOT EVEN A TREE.
NO STOCKING BY MANTLE,
JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND,
ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES
OF FAR DISTANT LANDS.
WITH MEDALS AND BADGES,
AWARDS OF ALL KINDS,
A SOBER THOUGHT
CAME THROUGH MY MIND.
FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT,
IT WAS DARK AND DREARY,
I FOUND THE HOME OF A SOLDIER,
ONCE I COULD SEE CLEARLY.
THE SOLDIER LAY SLEEPING,
SILENT AND ALONE,
CURLED UP ON THE FLOOR
IN THIS ONE BEDROOM HOME.
THE FACE WAS SO GENTLE,
THE ROOM IN SUCH DISORDER,
NOT HOW I PICTURED
A UNITED STATES SOLDIER.
WAS THIS THE HERO OF WHOM I'D JUST READ?
CURLED UP ON A PONCHO
THE FLOOR FOR A BED.
I REALIZED THE FAMILIES THT I SAW THIS NIGHT,
OWED THEIR LIVES TO THESE,
SOLDIERS WHO WERE WILLING TO FIGHT.
SOON ROUND THE WORLD
THE CHILDREN WOULD PLAY,
AND GROWNUPS WOULD CELEBRATE
A BRIGHT CHRISTMAS DAY.
THEY ALL ENJOYED FREEDOM
EACH MOTH OF THE YEAR,
BECAUSE OF THE SOLDIERS
LIKE THE ONE LYING HERE.
I COULDN'T HELP WONDER
HOW MANY LAY ALONE
ON A COLD CHRISMAS EVE
IN A LAND FAR FROM HOME.
THE VERY THOUGHT BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYE
I DROPPED TO MY KNEES
AND STARTED TO CRY.
THE SOLDIER AWAKENED
AND I HEARD A ROUGH VOICE
"SANTA DON'T CRY,
THIS IS MY LIFE BY CHOICE;
I FIGHT FOR FREEDOM,
I DON'T ASK FOR MORE,
MY LIFE IS MY GOD,
MY COUNTRY, MY CORPS.
THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER
AND DRIFTED TO SLEEP
I COULDN'T CONTROL IT,
I CONTINUED TO WEEP.
I KEPT WATCH FOR HOURS,
SO SILENT AND STILL
AND WE BOTH SHIVERED
FROM THE COLD NIGHT'S CHILL.
I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE
ON THAT COLD, DARK, NIGHT
THIS GUARDIAN OF HONOR
SO WILLING TO FIGHT.
THEN THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER,
WITH A VOICE SOFT AND PURE
WHISPERED, "CARRY ON SANTA,
IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL IS SECURE."
ONE LOOK AT MY WATCH AND I
KNEW HE WAS RIGHT.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND,
AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT.

~written by a marine stationed in Okinawa, Japan.

jumping off of bridges without parachutes and other thoughts

I don't think I've ever been more "down" in my entire life than I am at this very moment. I fell like running around and screaming at everyone and then crying for no reason. No, I'm not PMS-ing if that's what you're thinking. This has nothing to do with any of the following: hormones, the holiday"blues", lack of sex, end of the year "blahs" or crap like that. I'm frustrated, depressed, angry, tired, sick, lonely, and alone. I did talk with Killian tonight although I didn't get to see him. During the conversation is when I realized that I was feeling so down. It wasn't anything to do with him, the realization of my feelings came at that point. Thinking back through the past week, I notice that I've been down all week. I hide my feelings so well (yeah right) that I'm sure no one's even noticed the change (again, yeah right). I need a vacation. I need a life. I need... something. ~~What the hell is it that I need?~~
~ Excuse me, I'm going to go cry now and then discuss things with my decreased Papa. Yes, I know I said decreased. I hope everyone else has a better freaking night/day then I'm having.

Had a really nice weekend with Killian and his family. Saturday Killian's parents, grandparents, aunt and uncle, C.J., and I went Christmas tree hunting. This was my first time hunting for a tree since my family has an artificial one. It was nice to do something with a family for once. Ever since my sister got married and got a life, things around here have gone downhill. The parental units don't decorate for any of the holidays and could care less about actually celebrating. So now I've kinda adopted Killian's family whether they like it or not (they seem like they do). We spent Sunday shopping for presents and to my amazement I totally avoided the jewelery stores. Kinda made me sad in a way though. I guess I'm suffering what addicts call withdrawal. Am I going to go through tremors and stuff too? I'm worried.

Talia News

Found out that the baby my sister was carrying was found to be not alive. Therefore I won't be an aunt again any time soon. It's really depressing, but it obviously wasn't meant to be now. This just means that I'll hafta spoil the niece I have even more. Secondly, I got a lead on a job and have a possibility of getting it. I don't want to say anymore so the whole thing won't get jinxed. Lastly, I'm working on getting over the whole ring obsession thing. I figure if I don't talk about THE RING and I don't think about THE RING and I don't go to any jewelery stores or look at their fliers or watch television or listen to the radio (commercials) I should be ok. Now if I could just live in a dark padded cell with no contact from the outside world... It's all good.That's all for now.
