Nothing much to do besides clean house and write .&lt;br /&gt;  Have you ever woken up one day to find out your family never really wanted&lt;br /&gt;  you ? To think that your childhood was just an illusion , well it's like having&lt;br /&gt;  the wind knocked out of you . And if people don't mean for you to think of it&lt;br /&gt;  that way then they should learn a different way of talking . Words mean a lot &lt;br /&gt;  of different things . How many of you thought you found your soul mate  when you&lt;br /&gt;  were in your teenage years . That stuff affects females differently than males .&lt;br /&gt;  The boys can just go on like everything that happened meant nothing and there is&lt;br /&gt;  some girls that are just as heartless . What is a person to do if the one they&lt;br /&gt;  are in love with his/her friends don't like the love ? Life is such a balancing&lt;br /&gt;  act it gets tiring . What do you think ?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/873680017323938656-8527879300897628398?l=merlinsdragun-9lives.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://merlinsdragun-9lives.blogspot.com/feeds/8527879300897628398/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=873680017323938656&amp;postID=8527879300897628398' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/873680017323938656/posts/default/8527879300897628398'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/873680017323938656/posts/default/8527879300897628398'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://merlinsdragun-9lives.blogspot.com/2007/04/all-about-nothing.html' title='all about nothing ...'/><author><name>merlinsdragun</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518598062269281128</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873680017323938656.post-3911122682285659428</id><published>2007-03-21T21:21:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-03-21T21:42:45.763-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Kat</title><content type='html'>She is turning 3 at the end of may and it seems funny how time has passed by so fast.Her hair is long and curly , she has an adorable smile and the funniest laugh.Well at least I think so but I'm the mother so of course I would think so .She is so independent , sometimes it's funny to see how she want to do things.Kat had a rough start in life but she is doing so good now .&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/873680017323938656-3911122682285659428?l=merlinsdragun-9lives.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://merlinsdragun-9lives.blogspot.com/feeds/3911122682285659428/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=873680017323938656&amp;postID=3911122682285659428' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/873680017323938656/posts/default/3911122682285659428'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/873680017323938656/posts/default/3911122682285659428'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://merlinsdragun-9lives.blogspot.com/2007/03/kat.html' title='Kat'/><author><name>merlinsdragun</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07518598062269281128</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873680017323938656.post-1280513161177467167</id><published>2007-02-25T20:42:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-02-25T21:13:17.595-05:00</updated><title type='text'>past life in chatham</title><content type='html'>I was just thinking about my short time in chatham mass. 88-93.All the different memories flooding my thoughts ,some good -
