I used to get …

Of all the things I believed in I just want to get this through with

Tears form behind my eyes but I do not cry, counting the days pass me by

I been searching deep down in my soul, words that I’m hearing are starting to get old

It feels like I’m starting all over again, the last 2months were just pretend

And I say goodbye to you, goodbye to everything that we knew

I used to get lost in your eyes, and it seems that I can’t live a day without you

Closin my eyes you chase my thoughts away, to a place where I am blinded by the light

but its not right

And I say goodbye to you, Goodbye to everything that we knew

You were the one I loved, the one thing that I tried to hold onto

And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time

I want what’s yours and I want what’s mine

I want you….. but I’m not giving in this time

Ability

So I am doing Modern Hebrew this semester and I have to go and do a placement test with the teacher so she can ascertain which class I am most suited to. I bet after my three year journey doing Hebrew I am going to be best placed in beginners, but anyway.

So I wrote Ian an email telling him I had organised this placement test with the teacher and he says:- “Good. Yes, it’s better to get placed in the right group.  Unlike the guy I knew who fudged his Hebrew ability then ended up in Israel in a class where he couldn’t understand anything that was going on!”

This made me laugh.

a photo somewhere

I spent today going through Ben’s (my new colleagues) dropbox stuff. It is all the different material he uses in workshops and classes. What was lovely is that in one of his powerpoints I stumble across a picture of Ryan and Keith standing on the top of some mountain, staring of into some distance with Ryan pointing in some direction. The tag line was “we need to be clear together on our directions.”

There might be something a little ironic about all of this, but it was nice all the same.

“The Boys”

Dave, Hayley, Bill and I went to see “The Boys” at the Stables theatre in the Cross this week. I have been meaning to see a play at The Stables for years. It was really amazing. Dave had never been to the theatre before and I was wondering if he would leave at intermission, but he was transfixed. We were all transfixed. Hayles loved it.

The actors were incredible. They took us into this world which started out as aggressive and violent, but turned into pure evil. Three brothers, all who have girlfriends, commit a terrible rape and murder on a girl. We follow the boys into their drunken stupor before the murder. But most interesting is the girlfriends who are left to contend with the aftermath. It sound horrible, and it was, but it was also so real and visceral and fascinating.

It was a powerful 2.5hrs and I loved sharing it with three of my speakers.
