I have discovered that it is impossible to read Jon's 'Sometimes She Cries' followed by Vishal's 'Fall 2' without getting a lump in my throat. Guys, they are awesome.

Wow I didn't expect anyone to really like "Sometimes she cries"...<BR>
<BR>
Ali~Thank you, I'm flattered that it touched you. Thank you, and like I said before I'm sorry you can kind of relate to it.<BR>
<BR>
Briana~Thank you so much. I've read the "raves" and I'm still surprised that so many of you liked it or could connect with it.  Thank you.  And no I don't have anything in my submissions for publication, I consider it sometimes, but I don't even know where to begin to get my work published.<BR>
<BR>
splat~Thank you so much.  It means a lot to me, because that piece means a lot to me...and I'm glad that you liked it.  And yes Vishals Fall 2 is amazing, after reading Fall and then Fall 2 I was blown away.<BR>
<BR>
Take care and all that sweet stuff.<BR>

Hi Everyone,<BR>
<BR>
I'm afraid Ive been rather slack and have not managed to post any of my writings for quite some time (ok, I actually havent wrote any!). All I can say is please pity this final year student writing her dissertation and therefore having severe mental blocks when it comes to writing creatively at the moment!<BR>
<BR>
However, I have taken the time to catch up on everything posted in the past few weeks and just have to add my comments.<BR>
<BR>
Splatipus - Paradise - I thought this was fantastic...it says so much between the lines.<BR>
<BR>
Vishal - Fall 2 & Jon - sometimes she cries - well guys, I have to agree with splatipus,both of these just had such an impact on me. They are both so beautiful and mesmerising, I could read them a 100 times and still feel the way they made me feel tonight when I read them - utter admiration for the work, sadness at the feelings, and a little bit of understanding (been there before). <BR>
I've always admired both of your works, but have to say these are the best I've read (possibly best I've read ever on the Blender).<BR>
<BR>
Anyway, I will try to get my creative mind back on track soon. In the meantime, keep writing everyone...I'm really enjoying reading all the work.<BR>
<BR>
Take Care & All that sloppy stuff<BR>

Jon, Vish and anyone else<BR>
Have you seen the Friends episode yet, (vish, if not, it'll be there soon babes - the new series is as good as ever) where Phoebe thinks that her new boyfriend is Monicas soulmate, and Chandler gets all paranoid because he thinks that maybe Phoebes right, so Monica explains that she doesnt believe in soulmates, but that they both work at the relationship and they both love each other. What do you think Monica would do if she met someone that she thought WAS her soulmate?<BR>

and while I'm on the subject, Rachel and Joey? The USA chaps probably know whats happened, but I'm at the one where preggers Rachel and Joey hugged for the whole night in the restaurant after he had declared his love and she did the "Joey, I love you but....." thang. I'm really feeling for him at the mo. Also very related to the recent poetry
