Blaze's blog: "October 2006"

So first, I would like to inform everyone that Halloween has only been celebrated in Sweden for the past decade, but has established very fast here, mainly as a marketing ploy.. "The occasion is mainly celebrated by children and teenagers. They go to fancy-dress parties and ghost parties, light lanterns and venture forth into the streets to scare the life out of the neighbourhood. Many pubs and restaurants stage Halloween parties and decorate their premises with fearsome attributes. Halloween has come to stay. On the island of Öland in the southern Baltic, the arrival of Halloween has led to an upswing in pumpkin growing, and the giant fruits are now quite readily available." ~Sweden.Se Now a Little on the history of Halloween itself: "The term Halloween, and its older spelling Hallowe'en, is shortened from All-hallow-even, as it is the evening before "All Hallows' Day" (also known as "All Saints' Day")." ~Wikipedia "Origin: Celtic observation of Samhain According to what can be reconstructed of the beliefs of the ancient Celts, the bright half of the year ended around November 1 or on a Moon-phase near that date, a day referred to in modern Gaelic as Samhain ("Sow-in" or alternatively "Sa-ven", meaning: End of the Summer). After the adoption of the Roman calendar with its fixed months, the date began to be celebrated independently of the Moon's phases. As October 31st is the last day of the bright half of the year, the next day also meant the beginning of Winter, which the Celts often associated with human death, and with the slaughter of livestock to provide meat for the coming Winter. The Celts also believed that on October 31, the boundary separating the dead from the living became blurred. There is a rich and unusual myth system at work here; the spirit world, the residence of the "Sídhe," as well as of the dead, was accessible through burial mounds. These mounds opened at two times during the year, Samhain and Beltane, making the beginning and end of Summer highly spiritually resonant. The Celts' survival during the cold harsh winters depended on the prophecies of their priests and priestesses (Druids), and the accurate prediction of how much food would be needed to sustain the people before the next harvest. They believed that the presence of spirits would aid in the ability to make predictions about the coming year. The exact customs observed in each Celtic region differ, but they generally involved the lighting of bonfires and the reinforcement of boundaries, across which malicious spirits might be prevented from crossing and threatening the community. Like most observances around this season, warmth and comfort were emphasized, indulgence was not. Stores of preserved food were needed to last through the winter, not for parties." ~Wikipedia Although I am rather lazy and do not wish to write all of that myself, I think it's important for people to know the true origin of the holiday they are celebrating, and so I post it here.

My first is guys who say their ''with someone'' But still let skanks sit on there laps and hug them and such, And then have the complete cheak to go and say theyve been with the person for ages and there happily engaged! Okay and thats another of my pet hates Teenagers being engaged. 1.Its not gunna work out you pathetic loser 2.You've only been going out with her for a few months (Soon your come crying to me about how anoying she is! Okay and my last pet hate is girls with boyfriend who think cause there far away they can play away. Its rank and actually stupid cause your nice boyfriend actually trusts you. When really your telling every guy under the sun you love then, and getting up to no good I have come to see only the cocky girls who think there pretty do this.

Halloween is coming, the goose is getting fat! yep, and I think this halloween is going to be a blast. I am going to a haunted house and to a party this weekend and then going to go and mess with little kids on halloween, working at a camp grounds where we are having this hunt thing. good fun =] that's all for now

Sorry for the Double blog today, but i think this is a journal entry of mine I would like to share I've always been the most involved. I've always given the extra effort and been the team leader, seeking utmost victory. I've always felt like I needed to be the biggest and the best to please the people around me. These all sound like admirable traits that many wish they possessed, but being such a perfectionist only makes me feel less perfect. I've always been afraid of failure. This directly causes me to be a workaholic, therefore I am declaring to relax. Being an overachiever, I am bombarded by standards- standards from my parents and other authority figures, standards from my peers, and mostly, standards from myself. As I reach for the top, these standards push me further away from my goal. The pressure I create for myself through my high expectations is self-destructive and is the source of stress. The effects of my tension wear on my emotions. My goals overshadow my well being, and consequently my ability to care for myself is set aside. I miss meals and I don't sleep enough. I am my own burden. I am my biggest critic. I am my own worst enemy. My life has revolved for so long around a motto that is simply put, but much more difficult to pursue. "Good, better, best. I will never let it rest, until my good is my better, and my better is my best." If I loosen up, does that make me a slacker? Will people see me as lazy, a quitter, or a failure without a care, traits I've worked hard to avoid? If I miss an opportunity because I took time away from my quest for greatness to take it easy, I may never forgive myself. What if I can no longer do my best, or even improve from my daily monotony? On the other hand, if I don't stray from perfectionism, I may fail the people who care for me, and letting them down is worse than failing on my own terms. As a result, I further declare to take a break. I declare to sleep without discomfort caused by the time wasted. I will no longer work myself to death. I will see signs of drainage before I am completely empty, and I will rejuvenate myself by whatever means possible. Although I am chilling out, I dare not lose sight of my dreams. I will learn to reach for the stars, but not on such a precarious ladder.

This was written by a good friend of mine, Nicole Seligman. She is only 16 years old and has a great future ahead of her! I wish to support her in her quest to become a known model and actress, and I start here. This is Nicole: Forgive me if the link is eventually broken, but believe me, she is a wonderful and VERY LOVELY girl. and THIS is what she wrote: "I didn't simply come out of the closet. I gracefully slipped on a pair of four-inch rainbow pumps and kicked the door down." I am the unexpected. I'm a humbly confident girl living in a small town in Texas. I'm a big dreamer, but, unlike most, I'm also a big achiever. I know what it means to want something and the effort it takes to accomplish. I am very involved at school. I'm bright in the classroom and out, using my intelligence to change the world. I take part in theater, I'm the Secretary for our Thespian Society board, and I'm on the Varsity Forensics Team. I'm a performer. In order to be successful in portraying another character, one must know about herself and her surroundings. I'm a very passionate person, and a very expressive person. I love writing, fashion and music. I believe that I would be a strong candidate in Seventeen's Reader Model Contest because if I'm going to change the world, why not start there. I feel that a photograph really does say a thousand words, and I have at least that many to convey. I understand fashion in a different way than most teenage girls in our society. Fashion is more than color or fabric or what's inside the magazine. Someone had to rack their brain to design them, just like any other product. Fashion is about pyschology. I think Seventeen does a fabulous job of selling the fashions to girls of all different pyschological levels, and I would be honored to model those emotions in the pages of the magazine. I have a look that is like no other. My mind and drive are incomparable to any other applicant. Expect the unexpected.

first, i'm sorry i havent been on in two days.. read the bulletin about it because i'm too lazy to type it all again here. and here's my BLOG: What if when we are alive we are actualy dead and when we die we are actualy alive. Heres another: I feel that we are each in line until it is our turn to die many think I am crazy but I mean think about it you are in line and every step you take you are closer to death similar to the fact that everyday we live we are closer to our time of death. And Another: What if our dreams are our life and our life (when we are awake) is our sleep we can have good days that seem like nightmares. And Another: we are here until there is room And yet another: We are actualy reincarnations and in another parellel universe we are all opposite of what we are here. In another we are the same just older and younger basically we live every year in order over agian in another universe one that is ahead and another that is behind. De javu you have heard of it I believe that it is actualy our brain telling us what has already happened in one of our parellel univereses and it is up to us in this one to make the other decision and see where it will lead I f anybody reads this please comment I don't want to seem like I am alone in any of my thinking so yeah if you have any thoughts send them my way THanks bye
