the next day, he passes alai in the corridor, and they greeted each other, touched hands, talked, but they both knew that ther was a wall now. it might be breached, that wall, sometime in the future, but for now the only real conversation between them was the roots that had already grown low and deep, under the wall, where they could not be broken.
the most terrible thing, though, was the fear that the wall could never be breached, that in his heart, alai was glad of the separation, and was ready to be ender's enemy. for now that they could not be together, they must be infinately apart, and what had been sure and unshakeable was now fragile and insubastantial; from the moment we are not together, alai is a stranger, for he has a life now that will be no part of mine, and that means that when i see him we will no know each other.
it made him sorrowful, but ender did not weep. he was done with that. when they had turned valenite into a stranger, when they had used her as a tool to work on ender, from that day forward they could never hurt him deep enough to make him cry again. ender was certian of that.

"it goes deeper than that. being here alone with nothing to do, i've been thinking about myself, too. trying to understand why i hate myself so badly."
"no, ender"
"dont tell me 'no, ender' it took me a long time to realise that i did, but believe me, i did. do. and it came down to this: in the moment when i truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment, i also love him. i think it's impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way that they love themselves. and then, in tha very moment when i love them--"
"you beat them." for a moment, she was not afraid of his understanding
"no, you don't understand. i destroy them. i make it impossible for htem to ever hurt me again. i grind them and grind them until they dont exist."

I wonder as I wander, out under the sky
How Jesus the Saviour, did come for die
For poor orn'ry people like you and like i
I wonder as I wander, out under the sky
When Mary birthed Jesus, twas in a cowstall
With wise men and farmers and shepherds and all
And high from gods heaven a starlight did fall
And the promise of ages, it then did recall
If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing
A star in the sky or a bird on the wing
Or all of gods angels in heaven to sing
He surely could've had it, cause he was the King
I wonder as I wander, out under the sky
I wonder as I wander
I wonder as I wander, out under the sky
How Jesus the Saviour, did come for die
For poor ornry people like you and like I
I wonder as I wander, out under the sky
I wonder as I wander out under the, sky

how do i say goodbye to what we had? the goodtimes that made us laugh out way there. i thought that we'd to get to see forever, but forever's gone away. its so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
i dont know where this road is going to lead all i know is where we've been and waht we've been through. if we get to see tomorrow i know its worth all the way. its so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
and i'll take with me the memeories to be my sunshine fter the rain. its so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond.
Where me and my true love were ever wont to gae
On the bonnie, bonnie banks O' Loch Lomond.
O ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak' the low road,
An' I'll be in Scotland afore ye;
But me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks O' Loch Lomond.
'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen,
On the steep, steep side O' Ben Lomon',
Where in purple hue the Hieland hills we view,
An' the moon comin' out in the gloamin'
O ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak' the low road,
An' I'll be in Scotland afore ye;
But me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks O' Loch Lomond.
The wee birdies sing and the wild flow'rs spring,
And in sunshine the waters are sleepin';
But the broken heart it kens nae second spring,
Tho' the waefu' may cease frae their greetin'
O ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak' the low road,
An' I'll be in Scotland afore ye;
But me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks O' Loch Lomond

It's been a long time since I read Ender's Game, I should read it again. Need to put that on my list of stuff to bring back after the break.

Ditto here, though not certain on the bringing it up part. It's actually my family's copy, so I don't know if I could bring it up.

if you could kelli, that would be awesome. i would get it from the library and read it here, but they are way slow, and i woudlnt have time to read it 'fore it was time to go back up to school (only 26 more days! yay!!). so if you could, that would be awesome.
