I read it carefully twice and that's >how I take it anyway :-) Tammy's take on this is exactly how I understood the instructions, as well. I think several of you that are getting upset over the instructions are excluding yourself needlessly. You can still publish your own entry elsewhere, any time you like. But of course, anyone is welcome to not participate, if youre uncomfortable with the rules.

Hey.. just incase no body noticed (boohoo), i've kind of disappeared for a while... I was sick this entire past weekend (from friday on), which was a long weekend here in Canada.. so it was a downer to say the least. Didn't leave my bed until last night (tuesday) when i went to the hospital.. Don't know how i made it, but went to school today still feeling terrible. I'm slowly but surely getting better (yeah for me). And now i'm going to be disappearing again as there is under three weeks left till my school year is done, and i have independent studies to do, and well i'm much behind especially because of this last weekend since i was supposed to do a gr.13 Physics project (which i didn't), and it's due on monday... (fun).. But anyways.. I'm off to see "Spirit of the Dance". Really excited :) :) I'll write whenever i have a chance.. Hope everyone is doing great! :) Love, Jenny ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 20 May 1998 21:36:53 -0500 From: vonfam@rapfire.net Subject: ET: a wierd poem Hey angels~ I just wrote this, it's kinda strange...but...it's the best I can do at explaining it right now. :) love you guys~ Naomi the unknown angel naomisplace@angelfire.com - ---------- mirror I stare at my reflection not reconizing the image I see not good, or bad, just different, than me Like it's someone elses face. "That person is so beautiful, why can't I have that? Why can't I be that person?" Only I am that person; I am, but I'm not. That person, the reflection in the mirror, is beautiful, unlike me. I want, what that person has; I hate, what I have. I want to be, on the other side, of the mirror. 5-20-98 ------------------------------ End of eda-thoughts-digest V1 #30 *********************************
