_The Princess Bride_ is deservedly a classic...when I was little, my mother
read it to me.  When I got older, I read it myself.  Then I forgot completely
about it.  I went to see the movie on opening night, having no idea what it 
was about. (My friends dragged me along...) It was the weirdest sense of
deja vu.  They remain very close to the book (which always makes for a better
script, if you ask me...) and so I was hearing these lines that were *so* 
familiar, and yet I *knew* I couldn't have seen the movie before.  (It was
opening night...) I didn't realize where I knew it from until about halfway 
through the movie.  Of course, that made me love it all the more...:)

*hugs* and *warm fuzzies* to all...

	The sun was setting in a brilliant display of color, casting
rainbow beams of light over the Land. Ripe grain sparkled gold where
the light caressed it and mountain streams glittered coldly as their
rushing depths absorbed the motes of sunset.

	He walked quietly across the courtyard towards the Great Hall
where Kathrea would be finally telling her story. There, at the
entrance, he could see the slim, lovely form of Brianna waiting for
him. The Feral Knight noticed a movement off to  his left and glanced
over to see Wolverine striding towards him. Suddenly, Wolverine halted
and his face contorted with rage! A nimbus of light swirled about him
as he crouched and clenched his fists. Adamantium claws snicked out
and his stocky, muscular form glimmered and faded away!

	FK bounded over to the spot where Wolverine had stood and
found nothing but the slightest odor of ozone. Where had he gone? Who
or what had Wolverine seen to enrage him this way? Feral Knight stood
for a moment pondering a course of action. Wolverine was certainly
able to take care of himself, outside of a susceptibility to magic.
There was no way to learn where he had gone and the first stars in the
evening sky were beginning to show. 

	He sighed and strode again towards Brianna and told her of
Wolverine's strange disappearance. They agreed that it was best to
wait and listen to Kathrea's story and walked together into the
vastness of the Great Hall to sit close to the black clad woman of
mystery.

Hi shadow,

sounds like you've just experienced something sad. If you're searching
for some understanding and caring people, listening seriously and maybe
giving you some *hugs*, it's possible to find some on this list.. Just

Hello all my fellow ARCers........

I heard a song this morning in which part of it said something to me and 
thought I would share it with you.  

               I'm in a hurry to get things done,
               O I, rush and rush until life's no fun.
               All I really got to do is live and die,
               O, I'm in a hurry and don't know why.

The Dragon curled around her, a protective circle of light.  He murmured
softly to her as she cried.

"My Lady, do you not know how it pains me to see your unhappiness?  I
would that there was more I could do to ease your pain.  Only the
Goddess knows what lies in store for you - though I am sure great
happiness is there.  Do you suppose that somewhere your soulmate cries
out at the injustice of life as you do?  Do you not suppose that he
feels just as alone as you - for being your soulmate he will not feel
whole until you are together.

"But if you hide in the woods, how can he find you?  If you weep in a
corner how will he see the beauty of your face?

"Live your life, and love yourself - knowing that here is out there,
knowing that by holding his image to yourself you will draw him close,
so you will be together at last.

"Cry now, release your pain.  I will keep you safe until you wish to
return."

The Lady Elaine's sobs at last began to still, and she slept awhile in
the safety of the dragon's circle.

Hi Chris, 

altho I usually don't care much for the texts of songs (I love the
MUSIC, not the lyrics), this one really is touching. It sounds sad.
I'd love to hear the music for it. Just an idea, can you wite MIDI
files? Don't ask if you don't know what this is...

Let me just generically disclaim that I *wouldn't* look in such a
singles group (we don't have one anyway, I would think).  That's just a
personal thing - I want to get over my broken marriage first, before
worrying about *another* relationship.  Maybe in twenty years or so ...
Anyway, it's not clear to me whether singles groups are an electronic
manifestation of the old "bachelors and spinsters" dances, or just of a 
bar without the smoke and alcohol.  I don't have any experience to say,
though.

Go to Indonesia when it's time to harvest the sugarcane. You'll see the

  Honestly? .... No.  And if you fall in love with your LDR, it gets worse.
Best thing to do, is find some more friends to go out with to take up more of
your free time.  I did it for a year, it was still an *icky* feeling after all
that time.  Got to the point of giving up many times during that time frame,

Thank you.  That was beautiful.

And yes, I cried.  I lost my mother when I was thirteen, and there are times
in my life when I really need to share a joy or concern with her.  I don't have
a grave, but I have an inner place, where I can feel her love.  You did a 
wonderful job of portraying that feeling of sharing.  
I was deeply touched.  
Again, thank you.

Yep, also good luck wishing hugs from me, Clare! I believe you'll

Hi Martin. Nice to see you again. (Gruetzi!) I guess we should
talk English here this time before the other ones get mad about
our German :-) But if I say something like "My dear Mr. Singing
Club" I believe only German speaking people can understand that.
Right Martin?? :-)

Kai.
