I was woundering who wrote the poem about the person on stage.  And how they enjoyed to see them on stage.  I can't seem to find it and it is one I wish to read again.  Anyone that can help it would be greatly apreciated.

Vandalarius~~ Eh, could of been me. I was a major drama geek in highschool, and I wrote a couple poems about a girl I admired when she was acting...but that was a long time ago, and through my many many formats(windows sucks!), I probably lost them...only poem I recently made about theatre is <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.10.08.05.17.30185">Theatre Rat</a> .. sorry I couldn't be much help.

Darkwing - so you thought jehad's latest was aimed at you?  I must say that's a more comforting interpretation than mine: I was starting to wonder if it was some sort of coded terrorist message (jehad, evil-from-the-sky, etc etc etc).  Guess I need not have notified the FBI after all!  Give them my apologies, Kirk, when they show up at your door ;)  (Of course, if it WASN'T aimed at you then maybe... nah!!)

I no longer have to question about my soul mate because I found him :) and trust me, it is definately worth the wait. We have started our own little family and everything... I couldn't be happier... :) Just be patient..... Again, definatly loved the poem.... Preciousprncss

Tangerine~~ The Bin Laden thing was pretty funny.. but I wanted to comment on a few things... Like the line where it says he's a coward. Our presidents don't grab a Ak-47 or jump into a F-16 and go shootin' over enemy lines. All current day leaders are cowards, if you think about it. Also... Kinda funny how the world only looks at things that happened to them in particular... The united states bombs the hell out of many many places, killing thousands of people... innocent people. Take Panama.. I Don't know the exact reason, but I do know we bombed the hell out of it around 10 years ago... Killing around 7000 people sitting in their beds in the middle of the night. It's all a matter of perspective, I suppose. Yea what happened to us was terrible, but you gotta look at things in the perspective of everyone.  Everyone has "good" reasons for doing things.<BR>
We shouldn't worry too much about things any ways. Curious George is already goin' ape shit, and there is nothing we really could do to change it. (If we wanted too.. heh)

This site has been the one and only place that I don't get constantly reminded -- if you are going to write or post a romance related piece with regards to events surrounding Sept 11th then please do, I (personally) don't think the Bin Larden thing was appropriate for this site.<BR>

i find i have to really agree with you Deevaa, there are  too many opinions out there on the subject of bin ladin infact every one has one that differs...   and far too easy to hurt another's feelings with those, no matter how well thought out, we have many people here of all walks of life and a number not from the states as well so please on this subject can we have an end?

Violet I have 'the pilot's wife' beside my bed to read, I haven't started it yet... have heard good things though. My sister-in-law gave it to me saying "oh, you'll LOVE this" which usually puts me off big time!<BR>

I've just got done with Chocolat by Joanna Harris and La Cucina by Lily Prior...  the first was good, the 2nd had its moments but was abit 'chatty' for me... they both had plenty of romance.
