(she's also the editor of "journal of family life.") it's a pretty big deal and is going to have a very big audience. so. my job is to solicit stuff from cool people my age. i picked you guys to start with because i know personally that you are all very unique people, a lot of you are excellent writers, and every one of you has interesting things to say. what i need are submissions! (to publish, of course.) this isn't one of my "wanna-be-zine" ideas; it's the actual thing. the theme, in general, is alternative education; but you can write about anything. you can also do a mini essay with photographs, and send artwork too - you can submit photos for the cover. you can write about going to school, not going to school, roots in your family...whatever. (to give you an idea, there's an article by moi in this upcoming issue about my grandmother. that's how broad it is.) basically, anything you take an interest in talking about and would like a lot of people to read - send it in! now i know it's just so easy to say, "aww, look, there's a lot of people on this list - someone else will do something." but think of what happens if everyone says that. nobody sends anything. i picked all of you BECAUSE i know you have a lot to offer. so get creative and go for it. (you can send already written things too - if they haven't already been published.) this includes you, ethan! :) it doesn't have to be TOO very long - but don't make it WAY too long (we've had to edit things down quite a bit when they were over 25 pages long - yikes). alrighty then. i hope you guys do this because i think it'll turn out pretty cool. - -sam ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Mar 1999 17:07:00 -0500 From: Glendelia Macaway Subject: ET: Re:Cities Hey, >Which city in US do you think it's the best city to live? I've only lived in one American city, but I would love to live in Seattle. I lived in bellingham- an hour North of Seattle- and saw Seattle a lot. I'd love top e back in Bellingham though. It's got all the essentials: mountains, valleys, rivers, the ocean... All around gorgeous. It's sometimes too warm for my Canadian blood, but, hey... >Which is the best: north or south US? I luv the North- you still get the seasonal changes. Luv, Tasha ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Mar 1999 18:09:37 -0500 From: "Seth D. Fulmer" Subject: ET: What you don't say hurts(poem) Last night I was talking to Naomi(*waves*) and how I had this song quote in my head but couldn't remember the quote..just the idea and couldn't even remember what song it could be from so I thought..Well, it could be a poem quote too. Today at work then I was thinking about stuffs and how my last poem made a friend want to cry :( And well you know me...that romantic melodramatic guy who thinks of every possible(and impossible) scenario and gets depressed about them then..so here's a poem I wrote today. It is based on truth about someone. Also, if any of you don't wanna receive these poems...that's perfectly fine with me. I'm sorry for sending them if you don't want them...just let me know and I'll stop. Anyhoo, Take care! and Have a Fantastic Day/Night(whatever it may be for you) :) What you don't say hurts by Seth D. Fulmer 3/11/99 You stay here and you stroll my mind You walk up and down the hall with me I ask you why you stay so long You ignore me while you sing a song The song is lovely; the sound is sweet Your song and my heart strum along in beat You turn to me and you say your piece I love you but your face is a beast You don't know but what you don't say hurts me down to where God can't save It stings my soul to a pulp so tender flies land on me and I'm crushed to tears Oh so little words can bring my soul up Can't I please hear them for once in my life?

even if some days the last thing we want to do is more work? a month ago i was doing nothing at all......i felt horrible about myself. this has helped me in so many ways, in seeing the world in a completely different life. i'm trying not to preach, but i just want everyone to be aware that you can do something, that you are never too young to start or too old. and i promise it will change your life for the better. kat imperfect angel ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Mar 1999 20:21:32 -0800 From: winters Subject: ET: friends angels we all have a close friend. that one person who has stuck by our side for years, or what seems like years. the person that has seen us at our worse, mascarea runned and a red nose. and at our best, bowing after a great play. the person has seen everything from inside....the changes that you go through, the obstacles you overcome, the growth you experiance. i read this quote once about success....it went on about what it really is to feel sucess, changing a social condition, having a child, being able to laugh, when the affection of children, and to ENDURE THE FALSE FRIEND. how would that be to succeed? because often times the one person who you think will always be there, the one who promises everything but ends up leaving you empty. not your girlfriend or boyfriend, not even your parents. this is your best friend, who ends up not being that best afterall. i was close to this girl for over the past 3 and half years. we have gone through more then most people go through in a lifetime together, we were the type of friends who stuck by each other even when the other friend was wrong. we had other friends, we just always did things together, because we complimented each other and helped each other. she knows everyone in my life, what makes me cry and what makes me laugh. i know how to make her see the bright side of things, to get out of bed and how to hold someones hand and feel independent. but somewhere along the lines, like relationships, something can get lost. a lot of things have gotten in the way and now neither of us look at each other in the eye or say hello in the halls. we have become strangers. a little more then a month away from graduation and we can't look at one another.things change. this has taught me so much though....that sometimes your best friend can be great, but all of a sudden you realize that it's time to go out on your own, to let go of the past chains and move on. even if it's without your friend who has survived everything with you....sometimes even the best of the things end, and it's for the best. high school is ending for me and i don't want to spend my life looking back on those "glory days". but i know when i do, i will think of her as my closest friend ever, and how even somethings can't be saved and sometimes it's best to just go out in the world alone, no matter how scary that sounds. thanks for reading this if you did. kat imperfect angel ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Mar 1999 22:12:27 EST From: Volleygrlz@aol.com Subject: ET: first posted poem-tell me what u think! hey guys. this is tara formerly known as lil.goalie31@juno.com. i'm finally back on the list so i just thought that i'd share a poem. my friend is depressed and he wrote the first two lines. i refuted them with the four line comeback afterwards. its really short :) the whole point is speaking out against suicide.....tell me what u think.
