Welcome to Gaia! ::

For the life of me, I can't remember the URL for this, but it's a list of morals for life, all discovered by watching PotO:
1. Love and respect those who are different from you.

2. Never be afraid to love, even if it might mean you will be heartbroken.

3. Outside appearances do not always mean a beautiful person. Beauty comes from the inside. True beauty, is what matters.

4. Sing-no matter who might be listening. Your voice makes you free.

5. Voice your opinion. If you don't like something, then you should find a way of letting people know.

6. Travel the world, never cage yourself in a place you aren't happy.

7. Grieve for loved ones, but find the strength to someday say goodbye.

8. Find music and art in your everyday life, and apply it.

9. Don't be afraid to gossip, but be cautious of how cruel it might sound to your subject, should they ever find out about it..

10. Never get too full of yourself to not recognize another's talent, especially if it is better than yours.

11. Surround yourself with friends, be they young or old. This life is all we have.

12. Never threaten, unless it's necessary...and, never use a chandelier to prove your threat.

13. We all are worthy of love, friendship, and compassion. We never need to think we are alone.

14. Don't be afraid to party, and let loose once in a while. Just don't get too loose.

15. People appear as one thing and might be another...and if you aren't prepared for change, it will catch you off guard.

16. Keep childhood friends close...even if their name is Raoul.

17. Contact of the physical kind is needed. Hug often. Touch their face if you love them; kiss them when you know it's what they've always needed.

18. Dance, no matter how funny it might look.

19. Dress up, even if it isn't Halloween. There's a lot of fun in doing so.

20. When you get old, remind yourself of the people in your youth, and what symbolizes them. Often a possession, a memory, can bring them back to you. That's precious.

21. A person may have a dark past, but it can be forgiven, in time.

22. Your sexual side is there. Don't ignore that either. It's there for a good reason.

23. Don't be afraid to take risks.

24. Hiding is not a way of life. Hiding and not showing who you really are only will hold you back.

25. Your dark and morbid side is not to be shunned, give in to the darker things in life.

26. Never live your life in fear of someone.

27. Love your children, and often. Those moments are what make their life and yours, worth while. Push them when you know they have real potential, but not too hard.

28. Be mysterious.

29. Laugh, no matter what the reason.

30. Remember past romances, and think of them and how much you once thought of him/her. Ones that meant anything are ones where you wonder if they think of you the same way you think of them.

31. Don't ever call someone a toad. You'll regret it.

If you have anymore, feel free to add to the list!

32. Share your talents with others.

33. Always think before you act. No one ever got anywhere by rushing blindly into things.

34. Breaking randomly into song is never inappropriate even in the most tense of moments, and there is always a full orchestra to back you up even if you're the only one who can hear it.

I'll think of more later. That's all for now.

*sniffles of joy* I love these morals, they are getting printed out, and stuck on my wall of my bedroom...whcih is currently the computer room since my dad took my room...

Jeopardy had a topic 'Joel Schumacher' on it last week, with the Phantom of the Opera as an answer, I screamed it out loud and my dad looked at me weird, but after the topic was done, I had known all but one answer and dad said I was smart. *beams proudly*

These are great!! Thanks to all who responded!

See POTO is magical and has many good things about it heart No wonder we all love it!

Those rawk 3nodding

I'm awfully inspired. 3nodding

( I love # 39!)

40.All you have to do to make a huge chandaleir crash on somebody's head is pull at a few chains, cut a few ropes, and wear a sexy ruffly shirt.( xd )

41.When you wear a mask, somebody is bound to pull it off. If you must wear one, then prepare to be unmasked in front of the world.

42.(follows along the same lines as 41) If someone is caressing your face(especially if she's a vivacious two-timer), make SURE she doesn't touch the mask. She will undoubtably pull it off. (you notice every time Christine touches Erik's face, she rips that sucka off?)

43.Tying your mortal enimies to your little portacullus(sp?) is easier then it looks.

44.When you send somebody a letter that contains positive critisism, they always start screaming and acting like you're..... *gasp* threatening their lives, or something crazy like that....

45. If you go to a masqerade, and your love thinks her life is in danger, be sure to REMEMBER your sword(for all you Raouls out there)

46.If you are evil, you will have a black horse. If you are good, you will have a white horse.

47.When you are going to your fathers grave, make no attempt to be modest. Wear the long sleeve cleavage dress.

48. When you're on a snowing rooftop, in nothing but a flimsey dress and a cloak that seems to never cover your shoulders, you won't get cold.

49.Cleavage doesn't freeze.

50.(ok, time to be serious...) Darkness isn't evil. It is merely a form of greater beauty.

yay! might add more later mrgreen

51. If a psycho is after you, run away first thing and DONT wait till tommorow afternoon, especialy if you plan on apearign on stage

52. Just because Erik puts his finger on his lip while he confronts you on stage is no excuse NOT to run off the friggin stage screaming, k? That is, unless you WANT to get kidnapped

53. If a madman is after you, dont hug him over a trap door

54. When the phantom leaves the bound Raoul's side, nothing is stopping you from running to your lover and untying him rolleyes

55. When you lip sing, dont make it obvious

56. When you're at your father's grave and the doors to the tomb thingy open, dont try and enter

57. When you see a rose with a black ribbon, do a police sweep of the roof before claiming your love for Raoul
