Lyrics

These are the lyrics to Darren Hayes’ new single “On the verge of something wonderful” im really digging the highlighted part (well the whole song really!)

A serpent, a rabbit,
A walk in the forest.
A tentative looking sun.
A feeling, a moment,
A bursting of bubbles,
A panic to overcome.

A samurai, an angel,
An etiquette table,
An AC that does not work.
A road trip, a car wreck,
A paperback novel,
A lover that ain’t been hurt.

When you let me go, now I’m on my way,
And the world below, is cold and grey.
On the verge of, on the verge of something wonderful.
A resurgence, on the edge of something wonderful.

For it, against it,
Said he’d never meant it, but Harry still dropped the bomb,
A trip to the dentist, the Hollywood black list,
A moment that time forgot.

When you let me go, now I’m on my way,
When the world below is cold and grey.
On the verge of, on the verge of, something wonderful.
At the edge of, on the verge of, something wonderful.

You can dance in the devil’s shoes, you like walking heels,
There’s a decent living to be made in the selling out of ideals,
You can lose your way, in the big city,
Get distracted and lost, and feel pretty, yeah..

Ohh, Ohh…

I want you, I need you;
I don’t wanna please you, or belong to anyone.
But life is for leading, for not people pleasing,
A race that has never been won.

When you let me go when I’m on my way,
When the world below is cold and grey…

On the verge of, on the verge of something wonderful,
At the edge of, on the verge of something wonderful,
On the verge of, on the verge of, something wonderful, Ohh,
On the verge of, on the verge of, something wonderful, Ohhh,
A resurgence, on the edge of something wonderful, Ohh…

On the Verge of Something Wonderful

Well Darren Hayes’ (picture) newest cd came out yesterday. I ordered it from amazon, HOPING it would be here on the day of its release…nope. maybe by friday if I am lucky. geez. But this is his 3rd cd since his split from Savage Garden, whom I also adore. Im really excited to hear this 2 cd set. His stuff has gotten more funky and techno the further away he gets from his Savage Garden roots-but man can he sing a ballad! *swoons* hehe.

Anyways, the title of this entry is such because of 2 reasons. Reason one is because thats the name of his newest single (available on itunes!) and reason 2? Because despite having the worst summer of my life, I feel like I am on the verge of something wonderful. Maybe its getting back to my classroom and job and having that family, or maybe its just something in the air. But something good is definitely coming! Reminds me of that west side story song. “Could be/Who knows?/There’s something due any day/I will know right away/Soon as it shows” …………. Ok im done being a musical geek. Time for bed!

Glad

I am glad I went to work today. I got the “pity looks” and the “im sorry”s etc, but I also got real compassion and understanding. It was nice to be social again and see familiar faces. Then I went into my classroom and I was at home. I opened up my cabinets and saw my penguins that my kids have gotten me and I smiled. I replaced the picture on my desk of me and the coward with a picture of me and my friend Cathy in Nice (see right) .  Thats a much nicer picture to look at than of the coward. lol.

But It felt good, like a theraputic good to be in my classroom. I am, for the first time this summer, excited to see my kids again. I know they will just brighten up my day. Update on the HR phone call-turns out they need me to do paper work. lol. I had to resign in february last year before they put me on Non-renewal (which means that S County Schools could NEVER rehire me and its a big red flag on a record). But then after I got my VA license (I only had a NC one before) they hired me back, no problem. Because of that, HR saw that I resigned, but they did not see that I was hired back. So they canceled everything-my email, my tax paper work, etc. So I have to go back and re fill out ALL of that. oh joy.  I needed to redo all of that stuff anyways because of the divorce. So, it works out.

I was freaking out though because knowing my luck something would just screw me. Its sad. The things I trust in scare me the most. Those are the things in my mind now that are going to fuck up my life. Why? Oh because I trusted in the coward and my marriage and that fucked up my life a bit (nothing I cant spring back from). So it makes sense that things I trusted, can no longer be trusted. Its almost easier for me to trust in new things than to trust in the tried and true. I know, weird. Thanks coward.

A New School Year

Today I have to go into work for a few hours. I am a buddy to not 1, but 2 new teachers. A buddy is someone who is still a relatively new teacher (1-3 years experience) and can give you the “real way” things happen around the school. Some lucky new teachers are paired up with a Buddy and a Mentor. A mentor is someone who has been teaching for a while (4 years +) and is more like a mentor in its truest sense. When I was a new teacher last year, I just had a mentor-who was wonderful! But no buddy for me. lol. I didn’t need one so its fine.

This year I will be buddy to the new 1 class only French Teacher, whom I’m told is a veteran teacher and just needs to know the RHS way, as well as the newest Spanish teacher who is a brand new teacher like I was last year. So, today I have to go in and meet them both at the Buddy luncheon and round table discussion! Then on Monday its back to work. Meetings, meetings, meetings. Oh joy.

I did get a phone call from one of the Spanish teachers yesterday telling me that the licensure specialist of the county has been trying to contact me. So, I called her and no answer. I have no idea why she would need to talk to me. Nor do I know why I can’t get into my school email anymore! The only thing that I can think of are my professional development hours. It says that I only have 17 finished (I need 20 a year) but I have done at  least 20 if not significantly more. Some have not shown up on the website and some have not been marked as “finished”. I’m really hoping thats the reason and it can be taken care of easily. Otherwise, I have no idea why she would need to talk to me. :-/ Hopefully she’ll call me back soon!!

Well I better get going. I need to get dressed. I’m still in my pj’s and I have NO IDEA what to wear to this thing today!! hehe. Plus side-I’ll hopefully get to bring some of my stuff into my classroom! Ciao for now!!

There’s no need to fear!

Underdog is Here!!

I just got back from seeing Underdog with my Mom. OH.MY.GOD. I have not laughed that hard in a very long time. If you’re a fan of the old cartoon (check) and you love talking dogs (check check) and Jason Lee (check check check) and somewhat predictable, yet lovable hysterical flicks (check check check check) then you need to go see Underdog!

My mom and I had so much fun watching this movie. There we’re some great one liners and a lot of little homages to the old cartoon. If you want a good laugh, take the funniest person you know and go see Underdog!

I want to know. Why can’t my beagle do that? She has a costume and everything!

She is much cuter
