An Echo in the Dark
An aspiring novelist's deepest thoughts. Well, most of the time. Get them while they're hot people!
Life as we know it
Its always fun to be listening to the radio, and have one of your favorite come on, just as you are leaving their service area..... gonk *laughs* that happened to me yesterday... was interesting... was not in my typical mood... and one of my favorite christmas songs came on.... and then it died.... gonk I dont know why! I wasnt even leaving their service area! I was headed closer to the station itself... *shrugs* mustave hit a dead spot or something.... lol....

Anyways.... this might very well be the last day that I can get online for a while.... til January 3rd at least.... but I will try.... I know, If I am not on before December 27th... then I wont be on til then.... the joys of a road trip... *shudders* blah... wanna know how bland Texas is between San Antonio and El Paso?...... bleh.... lol... yeah... not looking foreward to the drive.... and we told the driver that the wheels stay on the ground whee not up in the air like he did four months ago. sweatdrop .... he was falling asleep behind the wheel... and then had the scariest experience.... like an out of body thing.... I was inside the car, but felt like I was elsewhere..... *Shudders* I'm gonna see if I can hang onto my cell til we get to salt lake... and then give it to the guy that's flying back down here to return... *shudders*

I have been able to write ... late into the night.... sweatdrop ... quite literally.... was up til 3:30am my time cause I got a creative spurt around 2am.... lol.... up by six cause something I'm doing for my dad at the other house..... ^^ so not awake.... *Giggles*


One of My Favorite Christmas Songs! *Sings Christmas Carol* There's only three and more of me writing at the end.... if you dont want to read the lyrics

<center>I was playin Santa Claus
Downtown on Christmas Eve
When a Little Girl of three or four
Climbed up onto my knee

I could tell she had a Christmas wish
behind those eyes of blue
so I asked her "What's your name?
What can Santa get for you?"

She Said "My name is Christmas Carol,
I was born on Christmas Day,
I don't know who my daddy is
My mommy's gone away.

All I want for christmas is
someone to take me home
does anybody want
a Christmas Carol of their own?"

Well, all that I could say was
Santa'd do the best he could
and I set her down and told her
"Now remember to be good"

She said "I will" then walked away
turned and waved goodbye
and I'm glad she wasn't close enough
to see old Santa cry.

She Said "My name is Christmas Carol,
I was born on Christmas Day,
I don't know who my daddy is
My mommy's gone away.

All I want for christmas is
someone to take me home
does anybody want
a Christmas Carol of their own?"

Early Christmas Morning
I got up and dialed the phone
I made a few arrangements
with the county children's home

They told me it would be all right
to pick her up today
now my little Christmas Carol
won't ever have to say

"My name is Christmas Carol,
I was born on Christmas Day,
I don't know who my daddy is
My mommy's gone away

All I want for christmas is
someone to take me home
does anybody want
a Christmas Carol of their own?"

Well, Merry Christmas Carol
I love you
Welcome home.

Okay... I also like the more traditional songs too....including the ones from the Messiah... like The Hallejah Chorus ... but my favorite traditional has to be this one ^^ *sings What Child is This?*

<center> What child is this, who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap, is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
Haste, haste to bring him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!

So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come peasant king to own Him,
The King of kings, salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
Raise, raise the song on high,
The Virgin sings her lullaby:
Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
</center>

whee Another Favorite of Mine ^^ *skips around, singing The Christmas Shoes*

<center>It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes
His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here"
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes
So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his face when he said Mama's gonna look so great

Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out I knew that God had sent that little boy
To remind me just what Christmas is all about

Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

    *huggles* But in accordance with your wishes...you've got all of me, forever and ever and as much or as little as you want, for as long as you want, whenvever you want. heart
    Oh...and...just thought I'd toss this out there....one of my perennial favorites...the Chipmunks Christmas song. ^^

    Christmas, Christmas time is near
    Time for toys and time for cheer
    We've been good, but we can't last
    Hurry Christmas, hurry fast
    Want a plane that loops the loop
    Me, I want a hula hoop
    We can hardly stand the wait
    Please Christmas, don't be late.

    Want a plane that loops the loop
    I still want a hula hoop
    We can hardly stand the wait
    Please Christmas, don't be late.
    We can hardly stand the wait
    Please Christmas, don't be late.

    Please Christmas, don't....be....late!
