Oh, wow. I didn't know that. Mmm...how about this. Marie Antoinette was frequently said to have shouted, "Let them eat cake!" at a hungry crowd. However, the incident came from a book written before Antoinette ever arrived in France. The passage described a "great princess" and the quote...

I don't know. I've seen the difference between the polar ice caps twenty years ago and now. And way out here where I live, we're getting freak storms like never before. I've never seen ice so heavy that it turns huge trees into splinters before, and I pray I never will again. I kind of...

Um...I guess I'd get a one-way ticket to Egypt and see everything I could in one day. At least I'd die happy.

What about "Starfall"? I know it's bad...but I've been thinking and it's the best that I can come up with...

My mouth doth hang open in envy. Living in Small Midwestern Town, USA, our library was in a trailer until about five years ago. They now have an actual building for it. But don't get excited. It's still about the size of a trailer. I wind up buying all of my books, or going into the...

I think I'll do that sometime--I was meaning to do another inventory of my books, to keep organized--but it'll take a few hours. There are three bookshelves in my room that reach the ceiling, and I think I ran out of room even on those. I'd better have a HUGE library when I get older, or the...

I don't know that I understand why you have a problem with that passage, waveguide. It doesn't seem like a big deal to me, although it might seem a little annoying that the Palestinians weren't mentioned again. But I do know the feeling of reading something and enjoying it until it reaches a...

Erm...that's a toughie. Paradox, maybe? It's a little too simple, but a poem like this can't have a long title. It could wind up longer than the poem. I'll try to think of some later, because nothing comes to me now.

Maybe magenta would look good on your hair...but not on my bird, mmkay?

I'm too greedy with my books to do that, but I frequently lend them out and buy people books.

To my eternal shame, I wrote a book about my cat Bama when I was eight years old for Young Authors. I still have it somewhere, but I secretly long to throw it away and no longer look at the crayon drawings, poor technique, and messy handwriting. I don't care how young I was, it's awful. There...

If you're having some trouble, this is a good idea. http://www.writersdigest.com/ If you subscribe to the magazine, it wouldn't hurt to join the book club. I have bought many good and useful books from them, but you have to know what you're looking for. What you need to do is start a...

LOL. It amused me...is this how you feel about all Internet forums or are you just making fun of certain ones? Before I came here I was on a couple forums where everyone talked like that.

OMG, SevenWritez, I thought you were serious for a minute. LOL. Thanks for being honest, and I appreciate that you replied.

Well, one of my firends brought the book "Why Do Men Have Nipples?" to lunch with him once...that opened up a whole can of worms... And eyez0nme, tell me if you ever find out if it sizzles or burns. I'm curious. I suspect it would sizzle, then burn.

LOL. Nice cartoons. Seriously, though, I think my purpose in life is to study. Otherwise, why would I be the only person on earth who enjoys most of her classes and spends her spare time learning more about whatever she can? I'm taking the academic path...

Granted, but she's ugly and annoying and you have nothing in common, and when you try to break up with her she goes psycho and hurls a javelin through your chest so no one else can have you. I wish I could finish my art project and move onto something else.

I love you, too, Vespertilio. Better watch out if you still want those Birthday Massacre CD's, or the Nightwish ones. :p I appreciate all comments and am considering them. When I rewrite the poem I will post it. Coincidentally, Vesp, this is how I'd originally envisioned the nightingale...

In the sense that it's chattel slavery. Era doesn't matter. Could even be fantasy, really. I'm more interested in the characters and the nature of the relationship than anything.

Huh. Wouldn't you know, I have "fabulous" feng shui. I never pay any attention to that stuff, either.
