Welcome to Gaia! ::

That I have.

Vinnie: Let's have sex.

Me: No.

Vinnie: Rape it is!

Celibacy?

"She'd only gone with boys like her brothers, they'd share some Olde English 8oo and a cheap reefer with you and tear your clothes off, too mean to undo the buttons."

I just stumbled across this 'cause I'm just bored at work and it looked neat.

Kirby your monk story made my night. rofl

Celebrate indeed! xd (WOOT Cookie for me!)

and now - an oldie, and possibly quoted already, 'cause I didn't read through the other pages:

"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts."

~William Shakespeare

"Not all who wander are lost." J.R.R. Tolkien.

"Love is a tragedy; the human heart, a stage." -- Anonymous

"I can feel the pressure... it's getting closer now." -- Paramore

"When we left off last night
The hideous dragon
Had carried the maid to his cave by moonlight
He gnashed his teeth, and breathed his fire
The heath quaked, and we trembled in fear.

I said someone must save this sweet raven-haired maiden,
Though surely the cost will be steep.
So we lads all drew lots,
Our insides tied in knots,
And I won, and the rest went to sleep.

So, I picked up my staff,
And I followed the trail Of his smoke
To the mouth of the cave,
And I bid him come out,
Yea, forsooth, I did shout,
Ye fool dragon be gone or behave!

And then under my breath,
I uttered a charm said
To make the worst fiends become kind.
Knaves and knights of dire plights,
Now diminish his sights!
And it worked and the dragon went blind.

And he charged off the cliff
Howling mad and he died,
And the maiden accepted my ring.
And then you came along,
And were brave, bold, and strong,
And in thanks, every night now I sing:

Race you to the top of the morning!
Come, sit on my shoulders and ride!
Run and hide, I'll come and find you,
Climb hills to remind you,
I love you, my boy at my side!"

~Archibald Craven, to a sleeping Colin in The Secret Garden

One of the best songs in the show.

My Favorite Shakespearean monologue - and also my standard audition piece.

I do much wonder that one man, seeing how much
another man is a fool when he dedicates his
behaviors to love, will, after he hath laughed at
such shallow follies in others, become the argument
of his own scorn by failing in love: and such a man
is Claudio. I have known when there was no music
with him but the drum and the fife; and now had he
rather hear the tabour and the pipe: I have known
when he would have walked ten mile a-foot to see a
good armour; and now will he lie ten nights awake,
carving the fashion of a new doublet. He was wont to
speak plain and to the purpose, like an honest man
and a soldier; and now is he turned orthography; his
words are a very fantastical banquet, just so many
strange dishes. May I be so converted and see with
these eyes? I cannot tell; I think not: I will not
be sworn, but love may transform me to an oyster; but
I'll take my oath on it, till he have made an oyster
of me, he shall never make me such a fool. One woman
is fair, yet I am well; another is wise, yet I am
well; another virtuous, yet I am well; but till all
graces be in one woman, one woman shall not come in
my grace. Rich she shall be, that's certain; wise,
or I'll none; virtuous, or I'll never cheapen her;
fair, or I'll never look on her; mild, or come not
near me; noble, or not I for an angel; of good
discourse, an excellent musician, and her hair shall
be of what colour it please God. Ha! the prince and
Monsieur Love! I will hide me in the arbour."

Kay no more long ones - I promise.
