Hey there!I'm a new member here - 19, Virgo gal from India. I have a Pisces Moon and a Libra ascendant. I adore swimming, writing poetry, spending time with my two dogs and little ninja kitty. E.E. Cummings and T.S. Eliot are two of my favouritest poets! I also love cooking! I make great Pasta [or so they tell me ] and am addicted to Cheese. I'm new here but am loving every minute of my roaming in Linda-land PS: How do you put up photos here? ------------------ for whatever we lose (like a you or a me) it's always ourselves we find in the sea IP: Logged |

Let's have a cheese and pasta party. You guys can't bring what I am bringing. OH and wine, can't have cheese and pasta without wine! So Mermaiden, to your party I am bringing MUNSTER cheese, cuz its soft and smooth. For your pasta, I am bringing LASAGNA, because I'm Italian and thats the way we roll. And for your wine, I'm bringing WHITE MERLOT, cause thats my new fave. K spread out the table cloth! IP: Logged |

Welcome! Always' good to meet new folk I might SAY I like cheese, but really I guess I like the novelty of liking cheese >.< and the word cheese I, in fact, do not appreciate pasta, however I find it not tasty, yet labourious to eat, and thus I don't enjoy eating it :/
At any rate, Welcome ------------------ Pisces Sun, Libra Moon, Scorpio Ascendant.. Cardinal Grand Cross IP: Logged |

@ katatonic: after a lot of researching I found out that it actually is E.E.C. The man used weird punctuation in his poetry but spelled his name the proper way And the party idea sounds super. Although I have no clue about wines. :'( I've just tasted white and red, and can't say I liked either I *do* like the Romantics. Coleridge, Byron and Keats especially. Felicia Hemans among the women poets And I'm overwhelmed at the responses. Heh. Can't wait to get to know all of you better. ------------------ for whatever we lose (like a you or a me) it's always ourselves we find in the sea IP: Logged |

:/ hate to burst your bubble, but your picture expired..where is the picture from? like the URL that is the picture? I don't even know if it's a photograph or a astrological chart, but if it's the latter, you'll want to copy it, and host it on say photobucket or anything, even facebook really, so it won't expire. because at the chart site they wipe the data clean every so often, to keep space.

My fav by Keats is "Ode to a Nightingale" and my fav by Wordsworth is the "Intimations Ode." I really like "She Walks in Beauty Like The Night" by Byron also. Actually, I love anything by Keats, so just name it, lol.IP: Logged |

"La Belle Dame Sans Merci"; "Ode on a Grecian Urn" are two of my faves. This brilliant professor from Paris (Alexis Tadier) taught us both. It was wonderful And is the photograph visible? ------------------ for whatever we lose (like a you or a me) it's always ourselves we find in the sea IP: Logged |

The Journey One day you finally knew what you had to do, and began, though the voices around you kept shouting their bad advice-- though the whole house began to tremble and you felt the old tug at your ankles. "Mend my life!" each voice cried. But you didn't stop. You knew what you had to do, though the wind pried with its stiff fingers at the very foundations, though their melancholy was terrible. It was already late enough, and a wild night, and the road full of fallen branches and stones. But little by little, as you left their voices behind, the stars began to burn through the sheets of clouds, and there was a new voice which you slowly recognized as your own, that kept you company as you strode deeper and deeper into the world, determined to do the only thing you could do-- determined to save the only life you could save.
