Peate" Subject: ET: i sit alone i sit alone in the world missing my robin in pain because if the abuse of a so-called "friend" who is not a friend at all unable to sleep in the dark in the light of new love but weary of all the pain caused by the unloving i wonder how it is people can throw away love does anyone have too much? is it that common? or is it that they know not what they do? - --robert a. peate ***** it's terrible, but we can't do all the work for the ones we love, as much as we want them to feel good about themselves, and see themselves as we see them. ~robin cole ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 1 Oct 1999 07:07:31 -0500 From: Courtney M Gordon Subject: ET: whoo hoo, naptown! Dear Everybody, Well, tomorrow is the MSBOA festival. :-Þ I wanna go cuz (well obviously) John is going to be there, and there's going to be a load of hot drum majors there. But I don't wanna go because there's not going to be anything to do but work booths and of course, stare at the great one that has come to be known humbly as John. Whoo hoo! Yesterday, when we all went outside in band so they could rehearse their drills, I held open the door for everybody cuz I gotta make myself usefull (on account of the color gaurd people having nothing to do until christmas), so anyway. John came out like 3rd to last, as he always does, and they he said "Courtney! thank you my cool little homie". That was kinda weird, but he said it so it must be cool. :) Hee hee. I must go now, school awaits me. It's 7:06 now. At 1:15, band class starts. This means there are 6 hours and 9 minutes left....:) love and luck always Courtney ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.

Any comments for better or worse are more than welcome. "Brevity is the soul of wit", as Shakespeare said, so worry not about the length! Do not hesitate, I would really appreciate any opinion. Thanks! Easy to Remember, Impossible to Retell Isabel's voice is like a siren's song it has held me fast for so long. Her hair is like little strands of light like the dawn out of the darkest night. Her laughter is like seeing an angel Easy to remember, impossible to retell. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 01 Oct 1999 11:23:15 MDT From: "Princess Phish" Subject: ET: Love is a wonderful thing Hello all of you beautiful angels I was just sitting here thinking to myself that I hadn't written to this list in quite some time. I was pondering if I had anything of value to say. I don't know yet, I haven't quite decided...I believe it's going to be one of those long...ramble as you go...message with a heart-felt tone... My one main though is that life is to short to be angry with people and hold things against them. I found a love that I never knew possible...I never knew people could care and be kind to you...It's amazing. I went my whole life being put down by the people I cared for most. I thought that was love...I thought my brother sneaking in my room in the middle of the night to do as he pleased was love...I thought that is what mattered most. Two people have come into my life and changed it dramatically. The first person is My dear love Jacob. He has been there through thick and thin. Shown me what happiness is, he taught me how to smile. I never knew guys could be good people and he has brought that faith to me. The second person is my dear friend Cindy who I lost for quite sometime. Our dear friend Heather died and it brought us back together. It was wierd almost as if it were fate. We were there for eachother at the hardest times. I wouldn't trade her for the life of me. She has become someone so dear to me. A few weeks back she learned she was pregnant. This scared me a bit...I mean I guess why I was most scared is yah, it could have been me. I don't know it's a quick reality to see your friends life change. We got in a fight and said some harsh things and I told her I didnt want her to have the kid. Some part of me doesn't want her to because I remember growing up and not being wanted and being told that straight to my face...so part of me hurts. But, I want her to have this child. I know she will do well...I trust her and know she has such a strong heart. I know I am rambling about people you don't know...but this is a place to speak your mind so Im doing just that. I don't know. I do have one main thought inside my head I think I should lay on the table...and I suggest listening with an open-heart...its life changing When life gets you down, and the world falls into your lap and is quickly getting flooded by your sad tears. Find a friend. Find someone who will be there. They don't need to have all the money, the looks, or the nicest clothes...all they need is a big heart amd a willingness to be a friend. You see..there is always someone out there who needs that friendship just as bad as you do. I spent 15 years of my life hiding my sadness...my closest friends didn't even know I went home and cried myself to sleep each night...I was ashamed of myself and all that happened to me. It took someone caring about me to actually get my life in order...and I know there are other people out there just like me. Take the time to say hello...take the time to be a friend. If your friends make fun of you because of certain people you talk to they are not true friends...Your ego should never come in the way of your heart...giving is always the best feeling you will ever have. As one of my favortie quotes goes. ~The only thing better than being loved is loving someone~ be that person you need by your side and surround yourself with people that care...you will eventually find life a whole lot easier Just my piece of mind all my heart ~Kerry*bear~ the angel with quilted wings ~*~Little pictures inside my head are turnin inside out again if fuckin up takes practice i feel well rehearsed because the past is a bully and the future is even worse you tell me what you fear cos i can feel it like a curse~*~ ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 1 Oct 1999 23:17:06 +0200 From: "Claudia" Subject: ET: The wings of love Hi everybody! This is a brand new poem i just wrote a few minutes ago. As usual i'm looking forward to reading your comments and opinions! Please RESPOND!!!! You would make me really happy! Thanks and take care. Claudia **************************************************************************** *************************************************** The Wings Of Love Golden leaves fall down on the wet asphalt as tears of pearls frame her pale cheeks. Little Annie, in your green eyes nobody sees the key, the key to their hearts. Love is a treasure and the heart is a little jewel-case full of endless precious stones. But it's locked and just one key can open it. Just one. It's useless to force it. It would just break into little pieces and it's always too hard to recompose the puzzle. Some pieces might get lost forever. All the swallows have flown away towards warmer souls where their happy melodies can still fill cerulean skies. Your heart is cold now but no hug can make it warmer. White snow will fall on the nipped fields like icing sugar on a Christmas cake but a thin flame will always keep you alive, a sweet smile will always strenghten your belief. The wings of love will always be on your shoulders and they will make you fly high, so far from any human doubt and pain. ------------------------------ Date: 1 Oct 99 19:20:11 CDT From: Naomi Vaughn Subject: ET: blue these are...strange. my tribute to the most beautiful blue eyes ever, mostly. lol. alright, "uncork your mind..." love, me - --- it's become clear in a most unfortunate way that you simply are not in the mood to love me today - -- "you *do* your homework" she whispers quiet as her voice comes and it almost sounds like an insult to my disbelieving ears - -- at first sight he stole my senses obliterated my calm and sweetened all else with that heavensent blue - -- so blue it should be a crime to shame those jewels ah the shiver that comes when into my green they gaze boundless and beautiful so beautiful so beautiful - -- in that instant you blew all dust from my eyes and shocked me from my silence alive and amazed i came so willingly to your realm so willingly to your world so willingly - -- it's not with love? that i think of those eyes ah those eyes but with an obligation at fondness for who could not adore something so sweet? so rich and so deep it's with facination and rampant interest that i dream of that being that incredible creature my mysterious angel - -- so intently does he stare deep into my eyes for that glimmering moment smiles and smiles and crash of reality laughing blue and green till a bell shakes the stillness and you tear from me and i from you till next curiousity and unknowing with sweet beckoning finger draws you to me draws me to you "I can outrun all the devils here but never the doubt" ~Patty Griffin ____________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 1 Oct 1999 22:46:45 -0400 (EDT) From: Seth Fulmer Subject: ET: A flower and her petals(poem) Okey dokey :) This poem I wrote a few days ago but in my opinion, sorta sucks...but I thought...it's okey I guess..Feel free to pass it to friends if you want and/or whatever...I dunno...Also if you wish feel free to comment or not to comment...but please be nice.

Fulmer 9/29/99 A flower and her petals were sitting in their garden when along came a gust of wind and blew them to the roadside A bee came along with a dozen or so followers nursed the flower back to health and even helped her petals They planted themselves back into the ground in the garden and soon came along to them a young lad and his mistress The boy picked the flower up and handed her to the lady The flower soon became scared that her life would soon be history The petals said to the flower Don't fear, she's a lady and ladies don't hurt flowers just the men who don't respect them ------------------------------ End of eda-thoughts-digest V2 #280 **********************************
