SONG LYRICS AND/OR POEMS
To dream ... the impossible dream ...
To fight ... the unbeatable foe ...
To bear ... with unbearable sorrow ...
To run ... where the brave dare not go ...
To right ... the unrightable wrong ...
To love ... pure and chaste from afar ...
To try ... when your arms are too weary ...
To reach ... the unreachable star ...
This is my quest, to follow that star ...
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far ...
To fight for the right, without question or pause ...
To be willing to march into Hell, for a Heavenly cause ...
And I know if I'll only be true, to this glorious quest,
That my heart will lie will lie peaceful and calm,
when I'm laid to my rest ...
And the world will be better for this:
That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
Still strove, with his last ounce of courage,
To reach ... the unreachable star ...
~The Impossible Dream, Man of La Mancha
FOR JOSH
He stands there
slouch and scowl set in stone
Trying to hide his self
Beneath his tough-guy clothes
His I-don't-care clothes
But I know who he is, I know what he is
I know the self that he only
Lets out to play on those rainy days
When there are no mocking eyes around
I've seen him hold his little sister close,
Protecting her from the big bad world
That hurt him so
I've seen him run through the field in the sun
Laughing with carefree abandon
That's why I hate the bullies
The people really just insecure
Who force him to keep his soul concealed
Under his bad mouth and worse grades
Even though he's reading Beowulf--in his spare time
And most of them can barely handle Dr. Seuss.
~Poem I wrote
RANDOM STUFF
TOP TEN WAYS OF GETTING RID OF TELEMARKATERS
1. Say: "Mommy?" or "Daddy?" corresponding to the gender of the caller. Or not.
2. Turn on the radio very loudly and shout, "I'm sorry! I can't hear you! There's a party with loud music going on here! Have a listen!" Hold phone up to speaker and turn up volume very loud. "Uh-oh! There's a conga line going! Gotta go!" *hang up*
3. Hand the phone to a three or four year old and tell them it's their invisible friend Joe on the phone. Alternatively, pretend that you're four.
4. "STOP CALLING ME YOU STUPID EASTER BUNNY MONSTER!!! I DON'T HAVE ANY EGGS! I HAD AN OMELLETTE FOR BREAKFAST!!!"
5. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" through the entire schpiel. Then when they say, "Is that alright?" yell "Nooooooooo!!!!!!!!!" and hang up.
6. "Hello? Oh, it's you, Momma! Please, why don't y'all come back from the circus? Me an' Ellie Mae, and Jethro, we all miss y'all ta pieces! Besides, we're runnin' outta clean underwear! We've started turning them inside out and letting the rest air out all over the trailer."
7. Answer the phone in foreign language.
8. Put on a valley girl accent and pretend they're your football player boyfriend calling you about what you're doing next Friday night.
9. Ask them what color panties they have on. Flirt with them. Tell them you don't have any panties on.
10. Tell them all about your day, in excruciating detail, painfully slowly.
~Brandy from my english class
Do you get lots of annoying calls from telemarketers? Don't get upset about it! Use the opportunity to get a laugh!
1. If they want to loan you money, tell them you just filed for bankruptcy and you could sure use some money.
2. If they start out with, "How are you today?" say, "Why do you want to know?" Alternately, you can tell them, "I'm so glad you asked, because no one these days seems to care, and I have all these problems; my arthritis is acting up, my eyelashes are sore, my dog just died ..." When they try to get to the sell, just keep talking about your problems.
3. If they say they're John Doe from XYZ Company, ask them to spell their name. Then ask them to spell the company name. Then ask them where it is located. Continue asking them personal questions or questions about their company for as long as necessary.
4. If they are selling a lawn service to make your grass grow better, tell them it grows to fast now and green is not your favorite color anyway .
5. Cry out in surprise, "Judy! Is that you? Oh my ! Judy, how have you been?" Hopefully, this will give Judy a few brief moments of terror as she tries to figure out where she could know you from.
6. Say "No" over and over. Be sure to vary the sound of each one and keep a rhythmic tempo, even as they are trying to speak. This is most fun if you can do it until they hang up.
7. If MCI calls trying to get you to sign up for the Family and Friends Plan, reply, in as SINISTER a voice as you can, "I don't have any friends ... would you be my friend?"
8. If the company cleans rugs, respond: "Can you get out blood? Can you get out GOAT blood? How about HUMAN blood?
9. After the telemarketer gives their spiel, ask him/her to marry you. When they get all flustered, tell them that you could not just give your credit-card number to a complete stranger.
10. Tell the telemarketer that you work for the same company, they often can't sell to employees.
11. Answer the phone. As soon as you realize it is a telemarketer, set the receiver down, shout or scream "Oh No!" and then hang up.
12. Ask them to repeat everything they say, several times.
13. Tell them it is dinnertime, BUT ask if they would please hold. Put them on your speakerphone while you continue to eat at your leisure. Smack your food loudly and continue with your dinner conversation.
14. Tell the telemarketer you are on "home incarceration" and ask if they could bring you some food.
15. Ask them to fax the information to you, and make up a number.
16. Ask the telemarketer if they use the product they are trying to sell. If they do, ask for a complete report. If they don't, ask them why not since it is such a great product.
17. Insist that the caller is really your buddy Leon, playing a joke. "Come on Leon, cut it out! Seriously, Leon, how's your momma?"
18. Tell them you are hard of hearing and that they need to speak up ... louder ... louder ... louder ...
19. Tell them to talk VERY SLOWLY, because you want to write EVERY WORD down.
20. Tell them that you are busy and ask for their phone number so you can call them back. If they say that they don't give out their phone number or they don't take calls, then ask for the caller's personal phone number at home. If then they say that they don't like being called at home, quickly say "Bingo!" and hang up

TECHIE STUFF
really hope you get the neopets thing to work. The
name of the Harry Potter guild is (I think): Hogwarts
School of Witchcraft and Wizardry The LotR one is:
arwen_4ever
My sn with the harry potter guild is: meliathiel
To find the guild, type in "meliathiel" in the bar on
the left hand side next to the word "go" you'll come
to my page. the background is really dark (but cool!)
you'll be able to see the writing only if you
highlight it. go down to where it says "guild" and
then click on my guild.
My LotR sn is: galadriel_4ever2003 To find the arwen
guild, do the same thing you did for the HP one,
except type in this name. hopefully i didn't confuse
you. i think i confused myself!

Yes, I said I wasn't going to use this blog anymore, but I've changed my mind. It's not going to be a day-by-day, play-by-play of my life anymore, I'm just going to be using it in place of my random knowledge file since that's only accesable on my home basement computer and all can view it.
