Well spoken 34... happy

And since I think we are all in a need for a little lighthearted fun- chapter four is up in Under the Desert Suns. Mara gets her revenge... and I pity the man who is on the recieving end. wink

Having been associated with the shuttle project in the beginning (my father was one of the programmers during from the prototype phase until the 1st launch), when I was just a little girl, I have been deeply affected by yesterday's tragedy.

Having also sat through a modern history class a few years ago where, when discussing the Challenger explosion, we were asked if "it was a plane or something," I will ask that you all remember to share this experience with each other and with younger people as well. Some of you might also want to ask your grandparents (I know most of you have fairly young parents so they wouldn't remember this) about the fire that took the first 2 astronauts' lives. Our collective history is only valuable when we share it with others and attempt to learn from it.

I sat and thought about what happened and prayed for the families that lost loved ones. May God watch over them.

I mourn the loss of life and the grief that will visit the families of the crew. We can only hope to learn from this event.

And now my moment of silence... (sorry its late)

Jaxxy- I'm not sure about that whole debate going on right now. What did you think? I know a lot of great fics go unnociticed because of the overwhelming amount of fics on the boards. But then again, by just browsing the topics/titles of fics when I am searching for one in paticular, I stumble across stories I would have never read before.

A late Columbia related post from me as well.

To those lost,

You challenged the unknown. You went to the place I've always dreamed of the place where no one has gone before. Rest in peace.

They were flying for me they were flying for all of us. They were trying to see a brighter day for each and everyone. They gave us their lives they gave us their spirit and all they could be. They were flying for me.-John Denver "They Were Flying For Me"

Well, I just got my copy of Remnant, so if you don't hear from me for a while, just know that I will be revelling in the glory that is SW for a few days (and it better be a huge improvement over Destiny's Way plain )

Just got mine today too, Ptrsons. And yes, I hope it will be better than DW. This mystery stranger is very intriguing! But the one immediate downside I see is a lot of Jag but no Kyp... sad Oh well.

Jaded - He's there for a little while, and being his usual self, as always.

I loved this book!! love Yes, I already finished it. I couldn't stop. Well, except when Gilmore Girls was on, and then I read during the commercials blush I also stopped at one point because my heart was racing so fast I thought I might give myself a heart-attack wink happy

Very good book. I have only one complaint about the whole thing, but to list it here would be a spoiler. So, if you really want to know, PM me. grin

I was beginning to think I scared everyone off ?:| wink

So, is everyone just busy reading Remnant, or has Darth Real Life taken over again?

Yeah, bit slow... This is such a horrid week. Everything seems to go wrong. sad Last night my computer ate one of my stories I was writing, 20 pages just gone. Microsoft Word says it cannot open the file... I tried for two hours, attempting to somehow get into the file. Nothing. It's probably damaged beyond repair. sad

And the thing that makes it even worse, it was for school too. Now I have to write a whole new short story by Monday. And I am gone this whole weekend, without a computer.

That upped my bad-week o'meter up a few.

sad

*walks slowly in and collapses on a couch*

I'm here. I've just been sick for the past week with tonsilitis, laryngitis and a cold. And tonight I have to go out, to an orientation night at the high school I might go to. At least some of my friends will be there.

*cough* I think I'll go get ready...


happy ~*^SARA^*~ happy
