Hey Sheliah, I don't know if this will help at all, but I've always sort of liked this one. Hope it helps... if not, just ignore it. :) "Comes The Dawn" by Veronica Shoffstall After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't always mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure that you really are strong and you really do have worth And you learn and you learn with every goodbye you learn...

I'm still looking for articles, poems, essays, letters, rambles, notes, (and art) having to do with gender, which is anything, because nearly everything has to do with gender, or being a guy, or being a girl. - -NBTSCers: Would someone please write about the gender blender? Maybe explain it, or talk about the outcomes, or the purpose, or whatever? - -Still looking for stuff about being a guy, being a girl, or how society treats us as a whole/reactions we get individually/etc. Just get those creative ideas flowing - I know you guys have a lot to say. - -Shad and Jake, are you going to write anything (remember what I wrote you about...)? Still waiting for articles/whatever from: ~Lindsey ~Dawn ~Oona ~Melanie ~Mystical ~Jennyrose ~David ~Adrienne ~Carsie Maybe: ~Summer? ~Cory? ~Royanne? ~Angie? ~Heidi? ~Jeremy, will you please write something? As you can tell, it's mainly girls who are writing things, so guys, get in there! 1) If everyone could get their stuff to me by the 25th or so that'd be super - a little later would be ok. 2) I'm still being a freakin' perfectionist and trying to find an appropriate name for it (I like the idea of 'subtitles' too), (poetic is good, just not TOO poetic y'know?). There are things/ideas for names like Prufrock ('the love song of j. alfred prufrock') to Holden On (or Out) from Holden Caufield of Catcher In The Rye, to Cassandra (the woman who had the gift of prophecy but was doomed never to be believed). Now, my questions are - 1) is Cassandra too girly (guys?)? And if you PLEASE have any ideas tell me (and also tell me what you think on the three I just told you - there are more, like Chalk [Cory's idea], Simmering, Utter/ance..). I think Catcher in the Rye is kind of a good theme, because it's about not only growing up, but society, and wanting to save people from it or stay innocent or whatever, but you can't...Any thoughts, ideas, would be wonderful, and if you can derive a cool title from something from Catcher, that'd be super. 3) THE FICTION PAGE: Mystical (GDHarmonia@aol.com) is putting this together, so if you have short fictional stories, poems, whatever, send them to her. :) Reviews of those fantasy fiction books you guys are into :) would be awesome! 4) subscribing - I spent at least 1/2 hr muddling over all different possible figures, doing the math involving ONLY copying and postage, and I was getting such odd-ended sums and all that I just decided to even it out - - so the cost is $10 per year (or, $1.50 an issue), it's bi-monthly (or will be). Most of you should have a directory, so please send a check to my address there *, or if you just want a sample, just send the $1.50 (that's copying/shipping solely). If you DON'T have my address, write me (off the list) and I'll give it to you. Contributors: You will almost positively be getting a free first issue. - -What's gonna make this work is if people subscribe, of course, and it'd be really great if at least some of you did - think of it this way: You pay that much to see a movie or go out to dinner. :) This lasts a whole year (yippee!!)!!! So please, if you don't wana write, subscribe, OR get the first issue - you never know, you just might like it. :) Love, Sam *if it gets cancelled for any reason, of course you get your $$ back. ~Everyone should live in California!
