Tears
I feel so sad,
my memories are slowly being thrown away.
There's nothing I can do to stop the process
of my slowly dimming confidence.
Without them,
I am nothing.
Today I cry myself to sleep
wishing I could be back in the land of happiness.
Dreaming of the day
I hear their voices again.
Praying for it to be the same.
But, wishes aren't granted,
and sooner or later we all wake up from our dreams.
Prayers aren't always heard.
I guess I'll have to spend another year crying.

About a week ago, I took some pains to write an answer to a question about a Shakespearean tragedy, posted it, and then reconsidered and deleted it because I thought it might enable someone to plagiarize and turn it in for a class assignment as his own work. What happened instead is that another answerer, most of whose answers are on computer-related subjects, somehow retrieved it and posted it as his own, with only the opening words "Funny as it may seem" substituted for my "Ironically"--otherwise it was my answer word for word. Then at the end he actually asked for his answer to be chosen best. I reported it and thought that the matter had been resolved, but this evening I found that "his" answer had been chosen best, with mine posted right under it, so that one might think I had copied from him instead of vice versa. As I said, most of this person's answers are on computer-related subjects, while many others of mine are on subjects similar to that of this particular answer.

On A&E at 10pm (and repeated at 2am) is the documentary THE KENNEDY ASSASSINATION - BEYOND CONSPIRACY. I have been answering questions on Yahoo Answers for weeks about the killing of JFK, and have been reccommending this program. If you truly want to know the truth, nothing offers it in a better, more concise, and easy to follow sequence.

When you watch this, I believe you'll be convinced, as I am, as to what happened. Along with the book CASE CLOSED by Gerald Posner, this is definitive in showing that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, was not a patsy, was not part of any conspiracy, and was in the right place at the right time with nthe right idea to do the wrong thing.

Will you let me know what you think after watching?

I'm auditioning for 'The Crucible' at my school...the problem is I'm an underclassmen and my school plays politics...which is the only reason I DON'T make it into any of the productions. Can anyone tell me how to best prepare for this audition? I'm trying out for Abigail Williams...don't know why, but the role of a villain seems attracting.

Advice I would appreciate are things like should I read the script beforehand, should I wear what I would envision an modern Abby wearing, etc.? (Since the auditions are run where you are randomly called up to read a random character's lines, do you have any suggestions on how not to screw up on that, too?)

I know this paragraph is too long and I was wondering where to separate it:

In spite of her anger, Collette was spurred to send a secret note right back to Bessie. Collette quietly ripped a piece of paper out of her notebook and scribbled down a message she would not want her mother to see. The waded piece of paper flew through the air before landing squarely on Bessie’s desk. She and Natalie read the note quietly. Afterwards, Collette could feel both of their eyes burning through her golden blond hair and right into her brain.

Thanks.

(What did you think about the writing, by the way?)
