Death and the Child - IBosun’s Log – The Cardinal Port Gaverne, Cornwall, United Kingdom 13 March, y.o.l. 1864
Men began work slightly skittish today. Word of fire in the farmland region east of the docks last night. Entire family killed, newborn baby missing. News has set sailors on edge, but the workload today is light, so they carry on as is without threat or motivation. Weather is clear and sunny at a comfortable 23°C. Traded with city’s merchants.

The Log of Captain James HookThe 16th of March in the One-Thousand and seventy fourth year
My advances on the Captain, Pietra, have been for naught.  All of my efforts at wooing the young and beautiful Pietra Jones have met nothing but a wall of impenetrable stone.
I wonder why it is.  In The Neverland I was able to have my fill in women.  Anyone I wanted became mine.  But that, that was hollow feeding compared to the fire that currently burns withing my heart and soul!  With every blow to my ego, the captain of The Cardinal knock me farther and farther into... dare I say it... love.    The Log of Captain James Hook

A Civil War EssayThe Civil War By: Nellie Melton
The war began when a bunch of people in the lower hemisphere of Americaland were ticked off at the ones above them because they ate all the pizza. What really used a straw to break a camel’s back though was when Lincoln was voted to be the president. South Carolina was all “AW HELL NAW,” and separated from the Union. Then, all the other states down there were all “Hey, let’s jump on the bandwagon too!” And so they did. However, the Union was going “OH NO YOU DI’INT”, so they started the war. This made people generally upset.

The first major battle of the war was when Lincoln was A Civil War Essay

Aaaaaaaall right. Time for a little game. Here's what I'm gonna do: I'm gonna give ya'll three words. An article, an adjective and then a noun. These three words are going to abstractly represent a specific composer from any period of Music History. I'm more interested what you think it means than the right answer, but if you get it well, hey, we ride the same brainwaves. I'll also post this on Facebook.

Here we go! Let's start of this series with an easy one:

Hey, I'm home for the summer. I'm around for about two weeks now, and another two weeks at the beginning of August. If you'll be around at all, we should get together.

~ShadesOfDestiny Jul 8, 2009, 8:01:20 PM

What about next Thursday. I'm out of state right now and go straight back to work when I get back, but I'll be off on Thursday if you want to do something then!

Awesome! We'll be heading to California that evening, but I'm free in the morning/early afternoon. Want to meet somewhere for lunch, and then hang out afterwards until I have to go?

~kailyia Mar 24, 2009, 8:48:59 AM

One more try... I'd like to catch up with you while I'm home, if that's possible. I'm flying out Friday (early), so if you can do something before then, please let me know ASAP.

~ShadesOfDestiny Mar 24, 2009, 2:16:18 PM

Hey Meghan!

It sucks that these things never really line up, but I'm not going to be able to meet up anytime. I'm busy with school all the rest of this week. Sorry, but hopefully something will work out next time!

Talk to you later!

I'm home, through Thursday. I'll try to remember to check DA to see if you've replied, but it'll be a lot easier to catch me via AIM (or just call). Hope to hear from you!

*waves*

Not sure how else to get in touch with you. I'm only home for a few more days, and it might be nice to get together at some point.

Let me know if you have time?

~ShadesOfDestiny Jan 4, 2009, 3:30:04 AM

Oh no! I'm gonna be kinda busy for the next few days. I work today and my truck is going to be in the shop starting on Monday, and who knows when it'll be done. If you wanna stop by my work today, we could chat a little bit and possibly have lunch. I work at Once and Again Books, which is on Sawdust. If you're coming from inside The Woodlands, towards 45, it's gonna be on the right just before you get to 45, between the Kroger's and Big Lots. It's the same shopping plaza as Kobe.

All right! Hopefully I'll see ya today, if not, let's see what we can work out.

And of course I don't think to check back. I'll have to catch you when I come home for Spring Break. If I'm trying to remember, and you're trying to remember, hopefully one of us will not fail?

Also, e-mail's much better for contacting me, or IM. You should get on IM more so we can talk!
