The days have been flying by! And writing has just fled my mind.
Thanksgiving break was freakin AWESOME. 6 days off and Analisa was in town, and it was just wonderful!
I love my sister :)
Nothing new has been happening, school is laid back and so is home life.
I seriously can't think of anything to write, so I bid thee farewell.

Dum De Doo Dum De
Did you know...
I laid in my car for an hour today. In my garage, with my ipod on, and my seat reclined back, nice and comfy.
I write in my journal everyday. Not about my day, just about life and whatever comes to mind.
my car died this weekend. And Madeline had to jump me in the rain. Jump my car I should say...:)
I light candles and stare at the ceiling.
that I have an addiction to caffeine, and that Capri Sun is my druggg.
that I make lists and lists of countless things.
I live on burned cd's, and if you made me one I might just kiss you.
that I don't believe in miracles. But I do believe in fate.
that I burn my stresses. Literally. Write them on little pieces of paper, and light them with a match, and watch them float slowly into the wind. Because what will these stresses be in 10 years?
that I have a whole essay due tomorrow, but I can't seem to find my words.
I'm listening to the song Boats and Birds by Gregory and the Hawk, and it's simply beautiful.
I love beds, cozy ones only. That have lots of pillows and piles of blankets.
that I want to know you, yes you!

Afterwards
and she flew, she flew
guided by the rope of light
secured at her waist,
held between transparent fingers
she looked over her shoulder
lifted her hand in a slight goodbye
the rope tugged gently,
all thoughts of home
fled her mind
and she flew, she flew
guided by the rope of light
secured at her waist,
held between transparent fingers

The weather reflects my mood.
The sky is hiding, this isn't our sky. It can't be.
This somber attitude always seeks me out,
it always finds me.
It will be gone by tonight, I guarantee it.
So what is this phase?
The phase that makes me lay in the dark
and really think.
About the people I've lost,
the people that I'm losing.
The things I'm missing,
the opportunites that I can't afford.
I think of my 2 dimensional life.
But that becomes 3 d when I'm happy.
How can I be all these things, all these contradictions?
I'm lost in the places I want to be,
the person I wish I was.
Sadness never seems to let me go.

Weekend Extravaganza!
To the very few of you who read my blog, so sorry for the long gaps of time. I find myself uninspired to write for some reason, which is just completely out of the ordinary for me. Ah well.
It's 12:01 currently, so Happy Halloween to you all!
My weekend has been quite enjoyable. On Friday me, Madeline, and Marney found ourselves at Taco Bell. Typical. Then we found our way to our new favorite place; Westside Lanes. We can't help but make up inappropriate screen names, and to be so utterly obnoxious that no one wants to share a lane with us...
Marney and Madeline are surprisingly good at bowling, and I am disappointingly horrible! I was very upset, so I suggested our second game that we play for 'FUN'! I discovered I am better at Retro bowling. Behind the back, between the legs, backwards, and left handed. I beat Mads and Marn in all those categories, so suck it! It was an overall great time, and we always make new friends when we go bowling. Interesting people at the bowling alley on a Friday night at 9:30...very interesting. After leaving we drove downtown for a bit and waved at the costumed people. We then proceeded to drive around the round a bout 4 times, proclaiming our love for friday's! Taco Bell was next, yes twice in one night. And Taco Bell worker gave us a great discount, and attempted phone number. We drove away. We finished the night with some tv, and woke up to a beautiful saturday morning (sarcasm), and watched the Hangover. How bout that ride in?
Tonight was full of running to and fro, going from place to place. Me, Madeline, and Sara ended our evening sitting in a truck watching the rain slide down the window and talking about sweet nothings!
Now I find myself in my comfortable bed, and am so exhausted from this eventful weekend.
Have a great Halloween everyone, and be safe ;)
Peace and blessings, peace and blessings

Blurps of The Mind
When I stop and think, these are my recent realizations!
1. Marshmallows are very difficult to stop eating once you've started
2. It's oddly easy to switch from emotion to emotion
3. I'm mad shy
4. I like the sky turning from day to night
5. The heated bench is more popular than I thought
6. I'm dying to go to a concert
7. I want to sled to school when it starts to snow...hmm
8. Snowboarding this winter is a must
9. Innertubing this winter is a must
10. I'd rather live in my book worlds than my real world
11. Embarrassment seems to follow me like my shadow
12. Yoga is relaxing
13. I eat so much junk food!
14. I don't care that I eat so much junk food
15. I miss my sister :(
16. Disney is my guilty pleasure
17. Burned cd's are really awesome, make me one
18. Wow, do I really still not have a job?
19. I'm really sarcastic
20. I've hiccupped every day for about 3 years now
21. Is this realization above something I should worry about?
22. I'm gonna be a foster parent soon! Woo!
Happy Monday!

Dreams
My stomach is knotted and my head is a whirlwind. The only thing that calms me is the book in my hand. I want to live in the words, forget who I am and be someone else. I want to blow off school and spend every day riding my bike in wonderland. I need to find peace within myself, but the stresses of life keep making themselves known. I think about my purpose here on earth, and internally I'm shrinking and shrinking, and really, what will I amount to? All I want is to be writing, reading, flying, sleeping. I contemplate and think too much. And this blog is my only retreat.
"I am not quite sure whether I am dreaming or remembering, whether I have lived my life or dreamed it. Just as dreams do, memory makes me profoundly aware of the unreality, the evanescence of the world, a fleeting image in the moving water."

Love and Memories
What a crazy past few days! I'll start with Friday which begun promptly with my spinny hat. I had been basking in anticipation for weeks, waiting til I could wear that hat! And finally the day came. Me and Marney put our best swag on, and walked in to school, hats a flyin! I think throughout the whole day 10 people told me 'Don't fly away'...Talk about repetitive. At the football game about FIFTY children touched my spinny hat, and kept chasing me. I was rudely confronted by some kid that wanted me to trade my epic hat for his stupid New York hat and after declining I was met by a 'Well excuse me Miss Daisy. You think you're better than me!' Crazy crazy kids these days. I spent a whole whoppin' 9 hours on homecoming decorations, hoped you guys liked them! After streching out bruised knees, and straightening my whole body from tiredness, I returned home from the school at 12:05 pm.
Saturday: I woke up at 8...what kind of crap is this?! Sometimes Sandman does not do his job. The majority of today was spent dollin myself up for homecoming. Although some things proved to be disastrous, it all worked out in the end. I was so stoked for a strech hummer limo, and Gary the driver was just top notch (or knotch?). Dinner at Harbor Lights was also quite delicious. When most people stuck to a baked potato, or an order of clam chowder; I went the other route. I had to get the ground sirloin, with salad, bread, and a baked potato! Yummm-mmmy. The dance was also enjoyable but the heat of the whole thing was almost too much for me. Dennis was a great date, and the day turned out fantastic.
Now as I lay in bed, with my limbs aching I can release a great sigh. All is well, All is safe, All WAS fun.
Love you bloggees!

The Loved Come Home
Long time no blog...
Anyway, sorry for the delay on writing, but nothing had been happening! My week carried on as usual, with school and helping with the rambunctious batch of 1st grade kids. My days were normal, nothing special. But on Friday, two great things happened! My sister came home from Spokane, and Grammy was finally able to go back to her humble abode. That night, I attended the football game, disappointing loss but a great effort! Then I spent the rest of my evening with my sister and hearing the wonderful story of my mom locking her keys in her car at 11:30 at night at BLE attempting to do school work, and having to walk to Madeline's house to use the phone, and then waiting in the dark for my father to come rescue her. Long sentence, but it was a very hilarious tale. On Saturday we had a huge celebration at Grammy and Grampy's house, which was to honor Uncle Timmy's and Grampy's birthdays! Also to welcome Grammy home. Right away I tested out the stair chair, see below:
Timothy rode that thing about 10 times throughout the night. It was quite thrilling. It was so wonderful to see my beautiful Grandmother home and doing her crossword puzzles once again, and it was a great McCann family party.
As each day passes, remember to cherish the people you love, and the things you enjoy. I can't feel blessed enough about the miracle God worked with Grammy, and I smile each time she comes to mind :).
Have a great spirit week people.

Emotional Whirlwind
As I sit here in my bed on a friday night at 12:13 am I start to contemplate my emotions over this week. There are 2 that seem to have reoccured the most, those being; excitement and disappointment.
What I look forward to everyday, what I hold on to through my grueling classes, is that I will be going to Black Lake Elementary and seeing the cutest little darlings. I'm excited to help at work stations, excited to get bombarded with hugs, excited to see the faces of kids with no bigger issues than not receiving snack. For them, life is so simple. Play, run, eat, laugh! These kids inspire me to help, to be a happier and more care free person. These kids leave me with such overwhelming happiness, I can't even describe it! Being surrounded by specimens with such energy is so amazing. It's only been a week and a half, and I can't wait to learn more about these incredible first graders.
My disappointment leads to more personal stories. But school also relates back to my feelings. I seem to be disappointed when I forget about a quiz, or fail one. When I realize I didn't finish my homework, or recognize that my teacher is definately going to be a hard ass the whole year. Disappointment sets in when things don't go as planned. When someone steps out of character, and does something you never would imagine. When your fairy tale ending, even your end of the day ending, does not fall perfectly into place. This upcoming week I'm hoping my excitement and giddiness will overpower my other lackluster emotions.
This weekend is needed, and I'm EXCITED (see already excited) to sleep in tomorrow. I'm going to relax, and do what I do best, procrastinate on my homework! I'm also going to read my new library book, and go to Borders and spend my whole Sunday there. Because that's what makes me HAPPY. The next 2 days should be promising, and hopefully I will wake up feeling refreshed and much better than I do now.
Remember people, smiles are contagious. So if you kids think I'm some lunatic in the halls smiling at every random I see, then so be it. Hopefully you will learn to spread your smiles to other people as well.
Have a good night and make a blog!

A Few Words
We all grow up
We all change
Our souls twist
And rearrange
Some things we keep
Others we trash
Our lives shoot by
In just a flash
But life does not
Stay the same
Without time out
Or pointing blame
We recall friends
Hide and seek
Beanie babies
And Christmas present peeks
The sweet ignorance
Of being young
Grasping toys
And endless fun
We grow old
And discover life
We dabble in pleasure
And face strife
What we do
All depends
On self motivation
And pulling tight ends
Illuminate love
Elicit light
Shine through your skin
And climb new heights
Find your nitch. Accept disappointment. Shine through the shadows.

The Sky is Everywhere
Life teaches you to reach out. We are presented with different emotions and feelings each day. Why else would we get them, unless there was a reason for each? This week I want to reach out, branch out, extend my wings!
On another note, me and Marney went into my mom's classroom yet again and had a very interesting time. Jakob knows jitzsu? Tristan claims Marney is part of his family, and Willow was born in the jungle. Kids are so uplifting and put me in the best mood! Ahh, another teacher in the family?
I'm still on the lookout for a workout buddy. Please contact me :).
I'm not feeling at the top of my game this week, I've got the September sniffles and coughs. School was bittersweet. My allergy medicine made me completely drowsy in 2nd period, so I was having a hard time focusing. 3rd period my group and I created a rap...the marketing mix was a big hit. Pre calculus homework is rubbing me the wrong way, I can't seem to recall what I've learned. It seems I have the memory of a goldfish...Lunch went well, because well, lunch is my favorite time of the day! My plain burger was disappointing though. A bit dry and hard to swallow. Travis sat with us today, so I met yet another new face! Trevor caged me with his chair which was a great addition to the lunch period. Chemistry was blah and leadership was full of hard work ;).
So overall, just an alright day! The weather was beautiful late afternoon, and I hope for many more note worthy days.
This Thursday I will be attending an orientation to become a foster parent! For puppies of course. I am so very thrilled, and pray everything works out well!
That is it for today.
PS-The title of this post is a book that is spectacularly spectacular...most beautiful imagery and writing I've ever seen. I encourage you to read it! May be more popular with the ladies...haha.
Goodnight

Just the Weekend
Yesterday was great. I was enveloped in inspiration, and illuminated happiness and smiles. I couldn't help but laugh as I listened to Don't Stop Believing, by the Glee cast. I had a great time playing Uno with grammy, and visiting the kittens at the animal shelter. Unfortunately, my favorite was gone. I finished my night off hanging out with my girl friends, watching movies and going hot tubbin.
I was amazed at how beautiful the night was, perfectly starry, and perfectly serene. These are the kind of nights where nothing else even comes to mind.
I have been so much happier this year, even if it's only been 4 days since school started. My spirits are high, and my hopes are up. I'm discovering that I am the puppet master of my enjoyment, my happiness. I can't get over how much my attitude towards life has changed, and I can't wait for more days to come.
I know in my hard times I wanted nothing more than a friend to show concern, so just putting it out there, I'm always here to talk.
I'm not sure what this day holds for me, but if it's laundry and homework I will still depict an essence of contentment and good spirits
In all the sweet bliss, there was still a feeling of anguish because of the historic date. My heart went out to all the families and friends who lost any loved ones on September 11th.
PS-Analisa come home, I miss you.
"Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement"

T.G.I.F
I am on the hunt! Liana needs a job, and still hasn't found one. I'm still disappointed I never heard back from Balloon Distractions, which is a company who goes to different restaurants and entertains the guests by making balloon animals! I thought I would be a great addition to their team, but supposedly not, due to that I have no experience whatsoever in balloon making.
If you hear of any openings, or have any recomendations, you should let me know!
On the brighter side of things, I had another successful day at school. I continued making new friends, and meeting new people. Chandler my math buddy even added me on facebook! I shared lots of laughs with my friends, and I'm so happy to have my girl Marney in first lunch. What a thing to get pumped about.
I also went to the local animal shelter today and fell in love with a little kitty. After an hour there, I went to visit Grammy, and hung out with her and my dad. Grams requested for me to write her a short story about a band groupie...
After I left, I decided I needed to go back and see my little feline friend again. I spent half an hour there just to make sure no one adopted him. Hopefully I will have 3 cats starting tomorrow! A dog is a no go, because my parents are bein pretty strict...booooo.
Tonight I will be attending either the Black Hills game, the Tumwater game, or the Spaghetti Bowl. Either way, I'm very happy to be with 2 of my faveyyy girls!
Well folks, that's it for day. Have a great weekend.
"Hold fast to your dreams, for if dreams die, life will become a broken-winged bird that cannot fly."
PS-I love this quote, and decided to share it with you blog world. Sometime in the near or far future I'm getting this tattooed. Woo!

Oh Happy Days
My day at school was actually quite normal. I enjoy making new friends, even if they don't seem to reciprocate the feeling...
My favorite class today was Marketing. I was laughing the whole time thanks to my group, who decided our class mission statement was 'Smiles, hugs, and basketball'. Of course we got all the votes in class, so hello new motto! Dennis, my new russian friend, showed off some of his dance moves, which included a few Michael Jackson numbers. This was after one of MJ's songs was playing, and Dennis went on to ask 'Is this Justin Beiber?'
I was relishing in never ending smiles, and they even continued with Marney at Black Lake Elementary. My mom is a 1st grade teacher, and I enjoy to help her in the class! As we first arrive to my past walking grounds, mother is no where in sight. So Marney because teacher, and I because the student! Finally her class arrives from PE, and are reprimanded for their bad behavior. Tristan, my new friend, would not let me go as we sat in circle time. Little Sammi and Chase also had to be separated, even though they are planning to be married in the future. They held hands constantly. Young love, so adorable. After playing with the bugs for half an hour, it was time for the kids to leave. Jakob had me tie his shoe, Tristan attacked me with a hug/choke hold and proceeded to kiss me on the cheek, and attempted more than one! These kids were out of control! I met Lacey, who will become a teacher and knows how to play the harp. I met Katelynn who lied to me and pretended her name was Madeline. And I met Elijah who insisted I commentate on his beetle vs centipede fights. Today was a day worthy of many smiles and laughs.
So friends, I wish you to have great days in this new school year, to make many new friends, and of course, create some fantastic memories.
I think we can all say amen to that.
My favorite class today was Marketing. I was laughing the whole time thanks to my group, who decided our class mission statement was 'Smiles, hugs, and basketball'. Of course we got all the votes in class, so hello new motto! Dennis, my new russian friend, showed off some of his dance moves, which included a few Michael Jackson numbers. This was after one of MJ's songs was playing, and Dennis went on to ask 'Is this Justin Beiber?'

Life Here, Life There, Life Everywhere
As school starts, new stresses begin to add on to the old. I decided to create a blog
1) because I'm obsessed with reading my sister's and ebay's
2) writing is one way I release my stress
3) its a way for family and friends to get some insight into the life of Liana McCann!
As most of us whine and complain about waking up early, doing homework, and/or messed up schedules...I begin to think about the bigger troubles in life. As I sit in the hospital, next to my Grammy's bedside for the 36th day in a row, I realize that my sad little issues of getting up 3 hours earlier than usual really shouldn't matter. Even though my complaints won't stop even after I have acknowledged them, I still take a moment to feel blessed for the 36 days and counting I have been given with my Grandma. As I fight for my perfect schedule, she fights every day to win back her strength, and her normal life. The bigger issue here is what I take for granted. What we all take for granted! Life for one, we treat it so poorly, so recklessly. Beautiful family members, who can be annoying at times, but who have been there through everything. And every other little pleasure that we take in life. Here's my challenge to you; tomorrow while you're at school, or teaching(analisa/ebay), or even just riding your bike...take 5 minutes to stop and see something wonderful going on. Whether its the napkin with the note on in from your mom, or the snuggie commercial on tv, smile to yourself and let nothing else bother you! As I like to say, life is precious, life is short so you better live the shit out of it. Thank you and namaste.
