Yes I would have to agree with you on that statement. She's not at all my favorite author, but the "Bell Jar" really was a phenomenal novel. I loved how it was autobiographical, but she never even admitted to it... She was a fascinating individual and I don't regret ever reading her. Do you still like to read books within that genre of like "realistic/angsty fiction"?

Hey there,

I'm not going to say much (haha, right?), but I wanted to just update you on how I've been doing, since I've barely been around Shelfari in the past few months, and I'm probably going to delete my Myspace this summer (sorry, Truvy, and whoever else has me added. I just don't maintain it and to have all that personal information just sitting there, with the possibility of it getting spread, isn't worth the risk to me.) Anyways, some things: I graduate in four days from today, on Sunday. I'm pretty excited, I think, more to see family and such than to graduate. I'm sure it will be an emotional day, anyhow. Had my final choir concert last night, too; it was one of the most amazing nights of my life. So much connection, so many tears, so many memories all packed into about two hours. Crazy, but amazing! Ummm... what else? The day after graduation, I will be starting training to work six days (and sometimes nights) a week at a stables. Then this fall, I'm entering college, hoping to major in vocal (for now, since I got a scholarship), office administration (which seems more... job acquiring after college... than a vocal major does), and I'm still considering veterinary technician studies (I'd have to transfer twice, including once out-of-state, to complete that, though, so I'm not sure.) Other than that, not much else going on with me, just being driven nuts by all the graduation preparation in these final few days. I will probably not be writing at all this summer, and I don't know when I'll be writing this fall, due to my unknown college schedule, because Shelfari isn't exactly my forte anymore, even though it was for a while.

I guess that's all from me. Sorry if this is too long. I guess I had to cram a lot to say into a little (well, sort of... haha...) message. Hope you are doing as well as I am and have a great summer, if I don't talk to you before I start working and college and all that jazz.

P.S. BJG, if you know Japanese, even some, you should get in contact with my friends. They're obsessed with manga and anime, yet they know nothing of the actual Japanese culture (which I find incredibly strange and a bit childish.) Anyways, they want to learn Japanese words; maybe you could help them some?

Cool, that's awesome, yeah when they say that making things has its rewards they are right. The feeling of completeing something that you made with your own bare hands and something that is unique is just unbeatable.

Hi belljargirl,

I was wondering if you've seen the new movie, August Rush? It came out last year and I've seen it twice. I was wondering, though... I'm writing a fan fiction based off it and at the point where I am right now, Evan (August) is asking his mother (Lyla) what kind of books she is going to get him, since he doesn't have clothes, books, etc. of his own. I'm stuck at that point because I don't know what kinds of books Evan might read, being only 11, almost 12, years old and already a Julliard student, a music prodigy.

I can give you more information on the movie if you need it, but I was wondering if you had any suggestions for books Evan might read, being 11, almost 12? The story is set in 2006-2007, which is 11, 12 years after he was born.

Thanks,

Cammy

Happy Birthday BJG! I hope the month treats you well! I have a question for you: I noticed that you're recently read The Hundred Secret Senses and Anne Sexton poetry. I was tossing about the idea of reading those, but wasn't sure... What did you think of them?

This is so true.
Live every day like it was your last.
Who knows it might be.

What a difference a sad event in someone's life makes.

GEORGE CARLIN (His wife recently died...)

Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and
80's - could write something so very eloquent...and so very appropriate.

A Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller
buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints.
We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have
bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less
judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less
wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh
too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too
tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We
talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added
years to life not life to years.
We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble
crossing the street to meet a new neighbor.
We conquered outer space but not inner space.
We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.
We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.
We write more, but learn less.
We plan more, but accomplish less.
We've learned to rush, but not to wait.
We build more computers to hold more information, to produce
more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men
and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships.
These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier
houses, but broken homes.
These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway
morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do
everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.
It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and
nothing in the stockroom.
A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time
when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit
delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are
not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe,
because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because
that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't
cost a cent.

Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved
ones, but most of all mean it.
A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep
inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that
person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share
the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by
the moments that take our breath away.
