Misti~I've heard of those places, but I have yet to visit them.  I went to a place called Club Orion which turns into something called Teknoclub...it's a rave and, well, yeah I go because I love to dance.<BR>
<BR>
BK~Thank you, I had never written anything so fast but that came out in less that five minutes and I'm happy to hear you liked it.<BR>
<BR>

Thanks guys... Jon, sure your friend can use the flower on her desktop, if she uses it anywhere else she must acknowledge the source, that goes for anyone here pretty much.<BR>
<BR>
I haven't painted 'properly' for a little while now, with anyluck when my boxes arrive from NZ, I'll get into it again.<BR>
<BR>

<BR>
Take care of your hearts.<BR>

ummm think i owe a lot of blenderites an apology... im a silent player it seems not really from choice but i doubt my writing to the extreme  of not replying, strange huh? lol try it from this side.<BR>
if i reply it seems like im asking for comments when all i ever wished for was only heart felt ones... yet it is rude as well not to reply. so catch 22,  damned for and against.  I've lived much of my life isolated in my own mind that it is still difficult to open up.  Far more the easier just to post silent and see what happens. I do have to say every comment i have received has touched me deep,  but i think the way i do it is far too selfish. i do read most every post here and so like so many have said before we have a great bunch of writers here both old and new.<BR>
and i owe a big apology to both chris and misti,  lately i have seen the true treasure you have found chris and i am sorry for my earlier remarks, i don't think my apology is really worth much to either of you but here it is in writing anyways.<BR>
so in the future? well i will try to get better at both commenting on work i like as well as replying to ones i get as well  k?<BR>

~*~Jon, Violet, and B.K.~*~ Thank you all soooo much!!! It just makes me glow for days on end when writers I look up to such as you three compliment my writing. <BR>
B.K., like you, I think my muse visits only at night. Lately I believe I've been sleeping when she knocks. It is an odd feeling to wake up with words just begging to be spilled onto paper though! I've never seen this so-called "clunky junk" though. Your words have always inspired this gal.<BR>
Oh and Jon, I'll have to look through the numerous(HA!) applications, but it looks like you've got the job! ;) <BR>
<BR>
love always,<BR>
Laurel<BR>
Ps. I still have that song in my head...anyone have any suggestions?

Duke; Glad you found us and hope you will keep writing for us. Your latest are very well done, my favorite is 'Hello's and Goodbyes.'<BR>
<BR>
R.H.; You have me pegged alright, just a hopeless romantic, guess it takes on to know one. ha I liked the way you changed the mood in 'One Hour A Lifetime' from cold to HOT!<BR>
<BR>
Ali; glad to see you back on the page again I was wondering were you were. Have seen your comments just glad you are posting again.<BR>
<BR>
Echolocation; The line 'soap scum of bitterness,' gave me shivers and worked quite well in 'Dreamkiller,' some powerful writing there.<BR>
<BR>
Ahh Jack; You know we love you whether you comment or not. (but comments are good too, ha)<BR>

Varda; I scribble notes when I like a poem to remind myself when I comment. Yours was on a page by itself and somehow It got past me but I loved <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.02.15.22.25.3965">Your Anticipation</a> It's one I wish I had written myself. May we have more please?<BR>

~*~musicalduck~*~ I'm so with you on <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.02.16.14.27.30441">why me?</a>. I spent today dress shopping and remembering someone I passed up, thinking I'd find a better fit...I was wrong.<BR>
<BR>
~*~wordley(R.H.)~*~ I'm pretty sure that nothing has ever stirred inside me the kind of thoughts and emotions that <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.02.16.13.29.21853">Remember? (2)</a>  did...<BR>
<BR>
~*~wistful~*~ <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.02.16.01.08.27474">Paper Doll</a> really got me thinking too! Incredible work!<BR>
<BR>
~*~beyond different~*~ <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.02.15.22.39.17819">Hope Dies Last</a> was really touching. Thank you for those words!<BR>
