[Naomi Vaughn Subject: ET: Some thoughts from a FROM A NEPALESE GOOD LUCK TANTRA THE FOLLOWING IS TAKEN FROM A NEPALESE GOOD LUCK TANTRA. YOU'LL FIND IT TO BE WORTH READING AND WORTH SHARING: INSTRUCTIONS FOR LIFE 1. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully. 2. Memorize your favorite poem. 3. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have, or loaf all you want. 4. When you say, "I love you," mean it. 5. When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye. 6. Be engaged at least six months before you get married. 7. Believe in love at first sight. 8. Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't have much. 9. Love deeply and passionately. You may get hurt, but it's the only way to live life completely. 10. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling. 11. Don't judge people by their relatives, or by the life they were born into 12. Teach yourself to speak slowly but think quickly. 13. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?" 14. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk. 15. Call your mother. 16. Say, "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze. 17. When you lose, don't lose the lesson. 18. Follow the three RS: Respect for self, Respect for others, Responsibility for all your actions. 19. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship. 20. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it 21. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice. 22. Marry a person you love to talk to. As you get older, his/her conversational skills will be even more important. 23. Spend some time alone. 24. Open your arms to change but don't let go of your values. 25. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer. 26. Read more books. Television is no substitute. 27. Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time. 28. Trust in God but lock your car. 29. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life. Do all you can to create a tranquil, harmonious home. 30. In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past. 31. Don't just listen to what someone is saying. Listen to why they are saying it. 32. Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve immortality. 33. Be gentle with the earth. 34. Pray or meditate. There's immeasurable power in it. 35. Never interrupt when you are being flattered. 36. Mind your own business. 37. Don't trust anyone who doesn't close his/her eyes when you kiss. 38. Once a year, go someplace you've never been before. 39. If you make a lot of money, put it to use helping others while you are living. It is wealth's greatest satisfaction. 40. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck. 41. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly. 42. Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other. 43. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it. 44. Live with the knowledge that your character is your destiny. 45. Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.

I write a lot in school now........I never did before, and now that I'm a junior (oooh ahhh, I know), I probably shouldn't..some classes actually require attention, but I've actually found that it's pretty easy to shut out your teachers and write :) - -fare all ye well, blessed be your dreams James ------------------------------ Date: 10 Nov 99 21:08:14 CST From: Naomi Vaughn Subject: ET: It rains fish... from the sky... hello my babes... here's some poems. funny thing though :) i wrote these all... oh sometime around the weekend... as i was pumping myself up to tell ryan i like him... hehe, then suddenly once i see him and am fully prepared to talk to him about it... i don't know if i actually want to. craziness. then i'm taking an interest in these other guys... one of which is said to have a crush on me (not matt! not chris! :P)... well, i'm just in the mood to babble tonight... stopping now, i hope you all are loverly... ever, me the butterfly boogie dancing angel who's going to be 16 in 3 days!! (sorry, i'm happy about it ;) - --- ((lol... quite simply, me after ryan's basketball game)) you haunt me my angel being and I watch you with an inexplicable facination awe at the way your body bends and bows before me. - -- ((when we first met... *sigh* little red riding hood ;)) It struck me swift when first I saw you - -please God please- and there I was by your side with you looking over my shoulder infectious giggles spreading - -thank you Jesus- - -- ((hehe, i can't even remember this one...)) sweet bluebird fly from here with me wound into your wingspan and we will escape to our mutual heaven-freedom. - -- ((this one came from a cartoon i saw... lol)) it's something in the yellow of your dandelion spray that's causing me to act this way. - -- ((dum dum dum dum...)) don't be afraid to ask a simple question when you hold the moon and your heart in your hands this glowing blue-eyed boy might just have it in him to return these offerings. and if not, well, you're still your own. better now, then after the fall. - -- ((this one "came to me" the other night when i went to 'the bone collector')) the spirit of my legs lives in you the spirit of my arms-hands lives in you my entire being, save for this weary beating heart, has been reborn into your magestic creature and you comfort me now, winged saviour, watching me from your sill. and you scream as pain fills me and the tears flood. - -we are connected by our souls- we are one, and we live, and die, together.
