(this just reminds me of the boy who said that he wasn’t going to be the one to tell me to stay)
honestly…
Soooo someone in my flute quartet arranged a trio for Adele’s Turning Tables…3 flutes and a voice.

packing face…. camp in five
“The war had changed these people, too, but only slightly; it had merely splashed over their lives a little of the hatreds and miseries of the great cities, for quite unwittingly they lived tonight as they had done for years, with their thoughts and actions mainly determined by the habits they had inherited from their forefathers, from the Loyalists who had come here generations ago from the United States because they preferred King George to the new freedom, from the English who had settled in Halifax when their time of service in the garrison was up, from the Irish who had escaped the potato famine seventy years ago, from the Highlanders who had lost their clans at Culloden. They lived in Halifax in an anomalous permanency, still tied to England, suffering when she did but rarely partaking of her prosperities, unreconciled to be Americans or even Canadians, content for the moment to let their status drift with events, convinced that in being Nova Scotians they possessed a peculiar cause for satisfaction, an excellence which no one had ever troubled to define because no one outside the province believed it existed, and everyone on the inside took it for granted.”

“He thought now that a man could only know the meaning of peace when he no longer reached after the torment of hope.”
Barometer Rising, Hugh MacLennan
“Even though his world was composed now of nothing but chance, it was unreasonable to believe that a series of accidents should ultimately matter. One chance must lead to another with no binding link but a peculiar tenacity which made him determined to preserve himself for a future which gave no promise of being superior to the past. It was his future, and that was all he could say of it. At the moment it was all he had.”
Barometer Rising, Hugh MacLennan

I need feminism because I belong at the head of the family, not as an after thought and not as a victim of the men in my life.

Who Needs Feminism?: I need feminism, because...
I don’t deserve to feel like less of a feminist when I say that I am pro-life. This post isn’t meant to argue about when human life begins, but is about respecting other feminists. Just like how other women shouldn’t assume that girls who wear makeup only do so under the pressures of patriarchal…
True patriot love.
oh, yeah,
I GOT IN :D
it’s always darkest before the dawn
