*hugs* for all the ladies! Too many to name here have helped me in one way or another over the years. There's a list of gents who have helped a lot too so I guess I should just say thanks to all the people here.

seven years ago today matthew, a gay college student, died as a result of the savage beating he suffered at the hands of two inhuman monsters now serving a life sentence for his murder.
gone but not forgotten.
rest in peace.. visit the foundation created in his honor: .
RIP young man. May there come a day when intolerance and hatred no longer exist...
Seven...are you the Seven I know and love? :)

how the hell did I miss THIS?

It has Valparaiso on it, that was used in a movie? That is the one that didn't make my top five but I really, really debated if I should put it in. That song is a masterpiece.
"Chase the dog star over the sea,
home where my true love is waiting for me...
rope the south wind, canvas the stars,
harness the moonlight, so she can safely go
Round the cape horn to Valparaiso."
Sheer brilliance.
I have got to get my hands on that cd!

fleur...we are practically twins...exceptat no.3 i would have....why should i cry for you
tijkmo...of the amazed someone else has ghost story class
Holy freakin cow, tijkmo...why should I cry for you was the song that after I posted I kicked myself later for not putting it at number 3! I was having a neurology patient moment. That should be my number three instead of Fields of gold, I swear if you could wear a cd out I would have worn that song out by now.
That's scary LOL edited to add, you said: "someone to watch over me....from the film" as in the old 'standard' Someone to watch over me???"! I'm gonna have to find that!
Ah...now here's a thread I cannot resist.

disfellowshippinga loving provision?.
"holy, holy, holy is jehovah god, the almighty.
Well...it "lovingly" assured two things in my life:
1. That I don't ever want to get reinstated so I can show similiar "love" to others
2. That I will do everything in my power to assure my child doesn't become assimiliated into that kind of "love" herself.
Yes, df'ing is very effective in that manner.
