Well, I'm not usually up this late. I've just been for a swim outside under the stars kind of thing. I like it, it's calm, just you and the bluish water, once you go under the waves. Away from the boring thoughts and problems, into an entirely different world. Tomorrow I will try to paint it, the view up through a later of water up at the starry sky.
I think it's because I'm naive about so many things. if I may say so myself, i'm an innocent soul who was never corupted. But because of that, I'm also a little shy. Worried I'll say or do something really dumb. Probably I seem to be one of the most boring people to ever walk the planet. So I take refuge under the water in the complete calm under the waves. Sounds poetic, but hey!
Like the song "but it's calm under the waves, in the blue of my oblivion."
It would be neat to end there, say I went for a swim, was calm and at peace with the world and all that. But after going for a swim I decided to go sit in the woods by the top of the waterfall and dry off my clothes. Well that would have been fine, if there hadn't already been someone sitting up there.
I don't think he told me his name, but i think he lives near there so i'm most likely to see him again soon. i got up to the top of the waterfall and lay down on the ground, completely relaxed, in my own little world, until I noticed someone sitting on a rock near me. i un-relaxed immediately - a little trick i taught myself so nobody would catch me off in my own little world. It almost worked this time.
"Did you know Galileo was murdered for saying the Earth wasn't the centre of the Universe?" What a long-winded way of saying hi, i thought when he said that.
"er, hi?" i answered, still off-guard, not ready for someone to just appear in the night. Finally my heart rate slowed to a normal rate. Yeah, I know about Galileo. So?
He was odd. Sometimes he'd just lay back, stargazing and other times he'd talk about the speed of light...or something. He did once ask me whas kind of stuff i was interested in and i just told him stargazing. Not quite a satisfactory answer.
Now, I feel bad thinking he was odd. He was really nice, just in an unorthodox kind of way. And here I am trying to convince myself to be less shy thinking nobody would think I'm odd. Well, he's nice, I hope to see him again sometime when i'm not soaking wet with twigs in my hair.

Sometimes the things you most want to get to are the things that are difficult to get...and sometimes it's better left that way.

Nothing that interesting has been happening these days except that I now know that I passed my exams :) Well that kind of remains to be seen about the physics one, but hey i can do that next year and I'll already know the stuff!
This is the first summer after a year at high school and that's crazy that i only have two more years of high school! I want to make at least one of these summers a significant summer but I have a feeling it won't be this one. We're not going very far on vacation (I mean I've been to Alberta before! What I remember from it is that it's dry and boring looking and it stinks when it rains. Oh well, as I said before I'm accepting that this summer's gonna be kind of boring. We're leaving on the 15th of July.)
Before then I want to make the best of the place i just discovered, a little waterfall falling between to edges of cliffs, and up at the top there's somewhere that looks really fairy like and I really want to find what is up there. But in a way I don't, it might ruin the magic. Maybe I'll go back there tomorrow or even later today..well g2g i was going to clean up my room this summer.. As if

I've been updating my other site ... http://prismrain.diaryland.com :)
So anyway, here's the real diary stuff...
Today, Lia and I went outside while Jenny was in art class and we were in economy - most boring thing ever, we went in it cause we thought it would be easy. i'd rather do another class of art (but you can't do 2 classes of art..)
Anyway, Lia and I went outside and it was hilarious cause our economy teacher came out when we were there on the grass and thought she saw us but then we ran in to the forest... anyway you have to be there..

I've just started this little blog, and I am going to use it as my diary.
First I'll start by introducing myself. My name is Jade Down, I'm seventeen, and I have a website that is currently being updated ~ http://prismrain.diaryland.com .. and an elfwood one that is also currently being updated. My PrismRain site is about color. Trying to think of an idea nobody has taken yet, I thought of color and what looks good on who, what colors go good together.
I live near the ocean and like to go walk in the waves and dream. I have long dark hair, and I'm pretty short. Sometimes I sing and dance in the waves and my neibors think I'm crazy. I swear I saw a dolphin once and it winked at me.
I have a few close friends at school but I'm far from popular. My friends are twins and for half the year they move away to Newfoundland, somewhere on the east coast of canada. (where they eat fish or so I'm told, lol Jenny) and when they are both gone I'm kind of a loner in school. I don't care what people think of me and so hey I can write what ever the heck I want to on this site and nobody is going to even care.
Eventually I will make this look like a paper ocean. That's what my old diary looked like till I stopped writing in it. Paper's so darn hard to handle, and I like drawing better than any kind of writing on paper ^_^
I'm in ballet, modern, hip hop and another ballet class. (Jenny and Lia dance too, but they're not in it as much. Lia ice skates, which would be neat but I'd fall on my ass, and Jenny sings. All my talented friends.)
So generally, I'm a loser to even make all these websites, but hey, why be normal? I also develop pictures in my own darkroom (The paper's freakin expensive. There you go darn paper agaoin!!) I'm trying to find a way to develop color pictures but still don't understand it yet. So go to my other site when it's done, Prism Rain, also the rainbows that come from the spray from the sea... well enough of that, be happy :)
