ASK YOURSELF in the most silent hour of your night: must I write? Dig into yourself for a deep answer. And if this answer rings out in assent, if you meet this solemn question with a strong, simple "I must," then build your life in accordance with this necessity..." - Rainer Maria Rilke
k. this'll be a long one. so u guys want to know the full story on my breakdown at lunch? if so, go to randi's journal. i think it's on one of the 29th postings. i told the whole thing.
on another note, here's my siggy and it's english translation if anyone wants to know, since it's in japanese and all:

totemo ureshikattayo
kimi ga warai kaketeta
subete wo tokasu hohoemi de
haru wa mada tookote
tsumetai tsuchi nurakatte
mebuku toki wo nokoshite itemo
shinjitai kokoro hadaite yukeruto
umarekawaru koto wa dekinaiyo
let's stay together
itsumo.

okay, and in english:

i was so happy
when u smiled at me
with a smile that melts away everything
spring is still far away
and the cold earth is still wet
was waiting for the day when the first grass sprouts
for instance, even though today is painful
even if yesterday's wounds are left behind
let's stay together
forever.

i no it's a little and a little confusing since i had to cut parts out to make it shorter and also a lil sappy for me, it's pretty all the same.
in another note, i read a story in a book called fruits basket, volume 3. it's a lil strange and just the tiniest gory, but read it anyway and give me a full and non sarcastic answer for what u think the moral is. when a lot of peeps have answered, i'll give out my answer. here goes the story called "the most foolish traveler in the world":

a foolish traveler was on a journey
he was stupid because he was easily tricked. the townspeople took advantage of him.
on that journey, he was tricked into giving away all his money, clothes, and shoes.
but the traveler was foolish, so when the townspeople lied to him saying, "this will really help..."
tears would stream down his face
and he would say, "please be happy." while he gave them what they wanted.
when he gave away his last belonging..
he was naked and ashamed to be seen so he decided to travel in the forest.
then he met the monsters who lived in the forest.
they wanted to eat him, so they tricked him with clever words...
of course, the traveler was fooled and when the mosters asked, he gave up his arms and legs.
eventually, the traveler was nothing but a head.
he even gave his eyes to the last monster he met
as the monster munched on his eyes he said, "thank you. i'll give you this in return." and left him.
but that was a lie, too.
his gift was a single piece of paper that had "fool" written on it.
but the traveler cried and cried, saying,
"thank you thank you.
"this is the first time anyone's ever given me anything. i'm so happy. thank you thank you."
and tears kept flowing from his eye sockets.
and y he was crying...
he died.

seriously, i no how gory and weird it is, but say what u think the morale is anyway. the real one will surprise ya. 3nodding

omfg you have no i idea how much that first poem reminds me of things
if you don't mind... i think i'm going to put it as a sticky on my desktop smile with quotes of course and have it say from meghan fogg

hummm... wow there's so many things i could come up with for a moral... i'd say... "even if you give everything up, you just want people to be happy, and even if you don't get anything back, you'll still think you made people happy, so you'll be happy too. or... "be careful what you give up just to make others happy, because cruel people that exist in this world may cheat you out of what you have, even if you're just trying to make them happy, they're that mean and greedy"
thats just how my mind works
idk about yours though

i don't mind at all if u post the poem! and those r pretty good guesses. since i think ur the only one who'll respond, here's my moral thing or whatever. i'll just say what i think:

okay. sweatdrop umm, its kinda weird, but i envy him. focusing on his mistakes, the loss, the pain.... its useless. u can't go back. he just thought about all the good things and didn't pay attention to the bad, even though he died.

i'll never be like that, no matter who hard i try. there are only a rare few in the entire world who r like him. i'm kinda jealous. because i always think things back over, make them seem more horrible than what they started as. i wish i could be a good person like that and live with absolutely no regrets.

xd weird, huh?

confusing but true
i like it
i think storys are ment to have morals that are made up by the reader to let it fit their life/personality/reading style etc. but of course the author is a reader so they have their own moral too
