Whats eating gilbert Grape

I watched that today, it put me in such a strange mood. Ive only felt that way Three other times. Once when i watched "I am Sam" I was in third grade i think. A second time when i watched "Radio" I was in Fifth Grade. Most recently when i finished reading "Of mice and men".

Pay us no mind

I thought i would write something,this, before i drown myself in the forgetfulness of social networking. I am sad, acutely felt sadness. A sharp sense of leaving, letting go of things i know now are special.

I went on a missions trip to england. Honestly, it was unlike anything ive been on previously and it surpassed every expectation i had set up beforehand. Meeting people who believed of their own will, when their parents wished they would believe otherwise. The scenery was breathtaking; I believed scenery such as that was no longer around. Modern expansion's Steel fingers left Camelford Untouched. After seeing the views and the sea, i can understand where Tolkien found inspiration to conjure up elves and Hobbits and magic. It is truly a place where you can still feel the remnants of a time gone by, where magic was thick and belief in it even denser.

More than any of the scenery or new friends,  i will miss those i went on the trip with most of all. They are truly people worth knowing, worthy of attention they will not get. I wish to live up to their expectations, so that i may give them credit. There are many things i wish i could change about our time together, but that is a moot point. With the time i am given, i refuse to squander. Carpe Diem. "Seize the day boys, make your lives' extraordinary". Be it a card on her windshield, or an invite to tea, I will seize the time i have left. Im sorry i Hurt people, im sorry i paid you no mind. Thats life tho, Im just your neighbor with 15 chickens, squawking away. Yet i am not home to pick up their eggs, so they lay rotting in my lawn.
