Violet, about <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2007.10.17.23.13.5218">quarter life crisis</a>:<BR>
 Oh, dear violet, <BR>
  when my child was born my husband and I looked at her, our eyes glued every second and watched this little infant grow at an extremely rapid pace and we too panicked wanting to savor every sweet moment and never wanting it to end, but you will soon see that there is beauty in ever stage and without growth, you will never see your deeply rendered love grow into something so special. This is what completes us and allows us to see pieces of ourselves in another's eyes so that they may carry us on and when she has children of her own, she will go through the same thing but you will be there to comfort her. This is a perfectly natural cycle to go through after all pregnancy, birth, and child rearing  are completely emotional and<BR>
 traumatic things within themselves. Beautifully written....

aparajita - that halloween game was amusing.  the animation of the skeleton was entertaining. though im not very good at hangman so after one game well the ol skeleton had to die again. i feel like i've failed the poor skeleton in some way..... thanks for sharing though.
