About Brian, you mean the online guy led you to believe he was this certain kind of person and it turns out he isn't that at all? Or there's a guy you love and recently someone else has been pretending to be him? I'm really sorry, that has got to totally tear your heart into a million pieces and cut it up with little silver tiny knives. It sounds like hell. :( I soooo hear you. Anyway the poem "Gullibility" is wonderful, really beautifully painted, I really enjoyed it. Gosh I'm so gullible too. I mean we just assume we're all who we say we are but wouldn't it totally freak us out (and sadden us, put a huge weight on our hearts) to find out that one of us isn't that person at all?

It is inspired by both a short story I'm working on and a little tiny bit inspired by the movie Titanic. As always comments are appreciated. :-) She sits by his side and holds his cold, limp hand urging him to wake up Urging him to come back to her, hoping her love can bring him back Something has taken hold of his body And made him weak Something has made him so sick he is too weak to love her back Too weak to even open his eyes But still she hopes that he will awaken, from his deep and deadly slumber She hold on to the hope that him and his love will be brought back to her For she knows that without his love she will be dead No matter how many promises she makes to him to go on she will break every one His love for her is what keeps her alive It has been too long since she has heard him say it And now she is slowly dying inside as he is On the outside So she will continue to sit by his side, she will hold his hand Until he opens his eyes, and brings back her world :) w/b Love Always, ~Kristin~ "If you cannot say 'I'll die if I don't do it', than you should not do it," -Madonna _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Speaking as a frequent reader, I have to say that I have mixed feelings. The style of the book is awkward, the language is contrived, and the tone is generally uncomfortable. However, I like the storyline, the characters are really great, and there are some moments where I literally laughed out loud. One thing that bothers me, though, is that although the character Jewel is playing is one of the more interesting, there seems to be no reason that she would be chosen to play it. the description is for dark hair and dark eyes, two things that Jewel obviously does not have. The characterization is almost that of, say, Winona Ryder. Oh, well, challenges are what acting is all about, so I hope she did well. I think we would all do well to read the book before seeing the film (always a good idea), but that's just my opinion. It's not a bad book, and I can see why it was chosen to be a film. It will almost undoubtedly adapt itself to the screen.

Aghhh... I'm really angry now.. I'm really time limited and I like just wrote a post for ya... and my netscape crashed... and me fool didn't save it... so I have to go all over again... and I really don't feel like it... so I'll be brief... I just felt like poetry an hour ago... so I wrote a few poems and I wanted to share with you... But first something that is long overdue - a quick mention of two poems I realy loved: First Jackie's COSTUME PARTY (if you care and don't remember it check the DIGEST #152) which is really excellent especially the last part: "It is not a fairness that has been dealt to you in the form of me And it is not anything that I can change It is me...... And the insecurities I have been cloaked in" Now instead of all that philosophy I had written earlier... just a brief thought... like things are like they are for a reason, it's just that it's a question if that can be changed... do we have a saying in it... sometimes the simplest of things make everything so complicated, and when it comes to our feelings and the existance - our being... then usually that is not negotiable... you have it like that. Now some see a way out in ignorance but it doesn't really help - so who's better of? And the other is of course Sam's "when starlight was popular" that can be found in Digest #167... you should've seen me ecstatic when I was reading this poem and after I read it... it's just so awesome... now I won't go raving about it all over the place, cause I doubt someone will think it as good, and also there's no time... But I have to say that this poem is detailed out inteligently so it paints "the fairs" ambient and atmosphere so it can show meaning and importance it has for the young... a little wit in there hidden... to stress the fun... yet youth pasess... some spend it carelessly... rare are aware of what they had... now all we can do is look back... but never again return to those days... to "the fair"... Sam in my opinion it is up there with the best of your work... if not the best! So finally here are a couple of mine: ESCAPE Tonight I feel like poetry Just to write something down Like I wanna spread the table-cloth Over the stinking bog Always surrounding me And maybe I'll be able to escape Without the mud sticking to my shoes THE LADY WITH THE HEALING HANDS I knew this lady once She had the softest hands She had the blessing in her eyes And warmest touch known to man She gave me all for a few seconds As to let me know Miracles do happen I know a lady She has this healing hands That she never lays on me again I just pretend she still brings a smile on my face When she touches me And breaks my heart Tomorrow, will I know her still This lady with the healing hands I think she want's to run away from me I guess she's falling in love And she doesn't need that now It's too uncomfortable To share someone with the mile stones And yet tell it to the heart Both of them One surrendered and one is hiding Cursing the pain of this silver lining And a head on the pillow Staring at the wall And a shadow of those healing hands closing my eyes When that lady stirrs inside! OK that's it... luv ya and keep up the good work! P.S. for those who were sending curses of 80's music... here's one very contagious: "(Pour some sugar on me) Ooh, in the name of love (Pour some sugar on me) C'mon fire me up (Pour your sugar on me) Oh, I can't get enough I'm hot, sticky sweet from my head to my feet yeah (Huh!)

I think we > Uhmmm... hehhe... so far all characters Noni did were like written for her... since we know that ain't the case - it shows her brilliance (It is by far my favorite actress - she's just always so convincing and adds her own beauty and personality to everything... she's a genious talent... NONI RULES!! hehhe... enough praise you get the point)... so we'll see how Jewel does her work... never seen her act before... everything she "touches turns to gold" - we'll see how's with acting... I know she won't suck, it is her first movie role though, so it must be considered... yet it may not even matter... let's just wait and see how she did... maybe she'll be new Noni...AS IF!! (Ok so I watched CLUELESS for the first time a couple o days ago) well maybe close) :)) I for one can't wait... and on the book matter... I rather watch the movie first and then read a book... because book is better most of the time... and I hate being disappointed watching the movie cause they didn't include some thing I loved in the book... I rather see myself impressed two times! :)) Anyway... that's all I had to say I guess! Oh And don't kill me if you don't think Noni is the best actress ever... I don't care, for me she is... :)) However I wouldn't mind hearing anybody's opinion on their favorites.

Ok I have a question for all of you...how many times do you think a person can truly fall in love? At lunch the other day my friends and I had a big discussion about that and some people thought that you can only fall in love once, others thought that you could fall in love and then out and then back in, and then the rest of the people thought that you could fall in love whenever and with whoever at anytime. I really don't know what to think. And do you think it is possible to not fall in love with anyone at all? And now a question for the guys on this list-what kind of girls do you like? And how would you feel if some chic that you didn't know walked up to you and just started talking an' stuff? Just wondering about this stuff... *^*NIKI*^* ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 5 Sep 1998 21:14:47 EDT From: Angeljlb96@aol.com Subject: Re: ET: new list In a message dated 98-09-05 19:03:41 EDT, you write: << Well i created a list of my own.
