I think of you now and then
But I remember when love was new
And you were mine, my love
So why would we pretend
We were lovers and now we're friends
I don't want to say goodbye to you
Again, my love
What we once had is gone
No tears, no right, no wrong
It could never be the same again, my love
The more we see the less we know
My love, how would I survive
With another broken heart
On my own again
When I need a friend
To help me find a place to start

The Scent of a Woman
Chris O'Donnell plays Charlie Simms, a seventeen-year-old boy attending Baerd Prep School for Boys. He is a kind young man with a good soul. For Thanksgiving break he takes a job watching over retired U.S. officer Leitunant Colonel Frank Slade, played by Al Pacino. The Colonel, now blind, is a tough man with a rough exterior (not to mention, a bit of a drunk), but Charlie learns over time that he is kind hearted and has good intentions. He surprises Charlie by telling him they are going on a trip to New York City.
The trip turns out to be an adventure where Charlie will meet Frank's family and find out the true reason he is blind. The whole time in New York they eat at fancy restaurants with $24 hamburgers and stay at the Waldorf. Frank later reveals to Charlie that he is in New York to eat at an expensive restaurant, stay at an amazing hotel, sleep with a beautiful woman, and then commit suicide.
Meanwhile, Charlie is having a dilema at school where him and a fellow student witnessed an act of vandalism on campus and he is being held responsible until he tells what he saw and who did it. The headmaster told him he would take away his chance to go to Harvard if he doesn't fess up.
Charlie is struggling with the problem at school during the weekend in New York. He shares the story with Colonel Slade and Slade gives him advice. They exchange thier views on the matter. Where Charlie stands, he isn't going to rat out anyone and doesn't want to use connections to get into Harvard and risk his honor and character in the meantime.
In a crucial scene of the movie, Charlie has to fight with Slade in order to keep him from commiting suicide. He succeeds in the end and thier friendship and confidence in eachother only grows. By the end of the trip, a true bond has flourished.

Tanzanite
Please tell me why I'm wearing this ring on my finger (my right finger that is, don't worry!). This ring was given to me by someone who loved me, who I loved back, very much, with my whole heart, my everything. This ring is now on my finger, I wear it every day. But this ring was not on my finger for a long time. Ok, so I lost it for a while, but during that time, and before, I had deliberatly not worn it for a while. I didn't wear it because I was hurt, I wanted to forget. I didn't want to care.
When I first realized this ring was lost, I was surprised at how upset I was that I could not possess it. When I found it after it being lost, I was surprised at how thrilled I was that it was in my hands again.
Two reasons I love this ring. Two reasons this ring is dear to my heart.
The first is superficial: This ring is a tanzanite ring. I had wanted a tanzanite ring for quite a long time. My mom had said she'd get me one for my Sweet 16, yet that didn't happen. I saw beautiful tanzanite in Mexico and had dreamed of having one of my very own. So for Christmas of 2005, I received one. It was special. But like I said, I really just wanted the tanzanite!
The second reason this ring is dear to my heart, the reason I wear it today, the reason I don't take it off, is because it is more of a symbolism than anything else. This ring reminds me that I once had a great love. In A Bronx Tale (good movie, check it out) a wise man tells a young boy everyone has three great loves in his life. So far, I've only had one. This ring reminds me that I am capable of loving and being loved in return, for this is one of life's greatest treasures. It also reminds me of true friendship. A friendship that is very dear to me, almost non-existant at the moment, but one that I will cherish until the day I die.
Tanzanite is my sweet reminder of a past gone and a future bolder than I can dream at this moment.

True friends
I'm sitting in my friend Hector's room, watching Tim and Hector play cards, Katy's sitting on the couch eating a pizza from the freezer downstairs, and I'm on the computer, working on a writing project for school. We're all watching The Legend of Bagger Vance. I just have this sense of happiness I have been feeling so often lately. This feeling brings a smile to my face every day. This feeling makes me laugh out loud. This feeling warms my heart. This feeling of knowing I have tru
e friends. Friends who will stand by me no matter what. Friends that are there to help in times of need, with or without asking. Unconditional love and acceptance is always in our midst. We do homework together, have long talks, and laugh incessantly. We are a group, a tight-knit people who wait on eachother every day, hoping to see each other...looking forward to the next time we'll be together to experience something. It's the first time in my life I can honestly say I have a wonderful group of friends who love me as I love them. I'm not concerned about things coming between us. I'm so excited we will all be living in Gainesville together and being able to extend our experiences into the future together. Thanks guys, you are my heart:)
