Hallo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully, this'll be a big long, rambly letter!!

Okay-dokey! How are you all? Everybody okay? Missed ya all. Is everybody here - CC, Caitlin, Ani, Wicket, Christina, Aura, Steffie, and the others? We all here?*Running around the room, hugging everybody, and handing them a lavendar stalk each. (Has something to do with my religion is the only hint I'm giving.)*

This is a nice place, here, the SkyFriends board. The background is nice. Not garish at all, but actually quite relaxing. Pity about what happened with ITW. Hope the owner of Just Luke made a link to here.

I am sitting listening to Disney Songs at the 'mo. "Colors of the Wind" just started. My fave. I love singing along to it... speaking of which, I have a song I want to share with you. Having just left ITW, because it shut down, those who have nowhere to go will feel lost, alone, and displaced. This song is from "Riverdance", and is sang at the start of the second act, as scene 1 - Harbour of the New World. It describes a lot of what the people who have been displaced by ITW's closing down feel, because it's based on the Irish People who left Ireland for America during the potato famine, and they would feel displaced, as you can imagine. So, here goes. (And it's pretty long...)

(solo)From a dark space
In the dark night,
I hear voices calling out in heartache.

They are wounded,
They are broken,
But their spirit rises when awoken.

Heal Their Hearts,
Feed their souls.
Their lives can be golden
if your love enfolds.

In their dreamtimes,
In their visions,
How they always hunger after freedom.
Every hard road,
Every dark road,
leads them on to reach a new horizon.

Heal Their Hearts,
Feed Their Souls,
Their lives can be golden
If your love enfolds.

(Guys chorus)Lord, Where is our freedom?
When will our hope begin?
Lord, what of the promise you made?
When will it come?

We have waited for the time,
for the truth to live,
When justice will shine.
Too long those hands of greed,
Held on and made us bleed,
When will your people breathe?
Lord, let it come.

(female chorus)Lord, what of our children?
Will they always depend on you?
Lord, Why are they scattered and torn,
And their young hearts
In chains.

How they hunger for liberty.
Feel their hatred of poverty.
Let their spirits rise
Soaring free.
Lord, let it come.
Our day will come.

(full chorus + A strike on the tubular bell, with full RD orch - That means Kaval, Accordian, Percussion, Fiddles, Piano, Uillean Pipes, Guitar[s], and other instruments in the very small Orchestra. )Lord, where is our freedom?!
When will our hope begin?
Lord, what of the promise you made?
When will it come?

We have waited for the time,
for the truth to live,
When justice will shine.
Too long those hands of greed,
Held on and made us bleed,
When will your people breathe?
Lord, let it come.

(solo)Heal Their Hearts,
feed their souls.
Their lives can be golden
If your love enfolds! (hold on last note.)

(Chorus) Lord, where is our freedom?! (Sung as the soloist sings "enfolds." Again, last note is held on.)

So, do you think it suitably describes how many people will feel now that ITW have shut down? I know another tune, but it doesn't have words, and it's called "Macedonian Morning.". That could describe the feeling of loss, I guess. If only I had a special lead thingygummy, so I could plug my Keyboard into the computer, record the tune, and show it to you guys. I like using music to show how I feel. Kinda fun.

I dunno if this'll sound stupid, but, what smell do you associate most with Luke and SW? For me, it's coffee! Why? Well, the first time I bought an SW book, I could smell coffee in the background. And every time I buy an SW book, I can smell coffee in the background because my two favourite bookshops, Waterstones and Ottakers, have a coffee shop in store, so, the smell I've grown to associate most with Star Wars and Luke is the smell of Coffee! Heehee! What about you guys? :)

Hey, Wickie, thanks for the healing Song. It helped me recover from my illness. Now, I've got an ewok song for you that is purely for your entertainment.

Yubby Yub, Yubby Yub, Yubby Yub Yommy! Yub Yub Yubby Yub Yub Yom Yubby! Yubby Yub Yom Yub! Yub Yub Yub, Yub Yub Yub, Yubby-Yub Yub! Yubby Yub Yom Yub Yom! YUBBY! YOM, YUBBY YOM! Yom, Yubbyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!

Hehehe!

Meanwhile, things are going fine in school. The bullying has finally stopped (yayyy!!!!!!! Time to celebrate!!!!!!!! Party On Endor MIDI tune from my website. Also known as the ROTJ victory theme.). I can walk through the school corridors, and feel totally safe, now. I didn't even have to go to a teacher about it. (Holly's a little protective, still. For the most part, the bullying has stopped, but, sometimes, the bullies do stupid things, thinking they are being smart, I.E., ramming a chair into my leg. Alisdair did that this morning, and boy, you shoulda seen the fur fly when I told Holly. She marched off and then began yelling at him to leave me alone! She is very protective. But, it's only really on the odd occasion such things happen.) I just showed them how mature I was and refused to retaliate. I think they got the hint pretty quick, because it began to fade off soon after. I got the script back from Neil, also. And I've edited it, and it is ready to go to Mark as soon as I can confirm the address I found on "Ashley's Mark Hamill Site", which is an AOL site. Hope he likes it! :)

Just got my math test results through. 43 out of 52. Brilliant! In Scotland, however, the grades system works different from America. A is an intermediate level, as is B . C and D are elementary levels. E is the level you are meant to attain by your second year in High school. And F is the grade you get if you do exceptionally well. In the U.S, isn't it that A + is the highest you can get, then A, then B, C, D, E and finally, F ? The pass mark for the math test was 39.

This year, I have to decide what subjects I am taking for 3rd year. It's to do with our career choices. I'm wanting to go into film production when I'm older, so, I'm taking (and We take 8 subjects.):

Math, English (Which we HAVE to take! Groan! Let's see.... If X=4, then what does 2X squared equal... ummm... X squared equals 16, then times two equals... umm... 32? As for english... To be, or not to be! That is the question! ), French (J'adore!), Business Studies, (no idea what that is called in the U.S), Physics (Yayy! Telecommunications, Electronics, Medical Science,Radiology,and tonnes of cool stuff!), Art (My Uncle should be happy about that. He's the headteacher at an art school, and an artist himself!), Music (Got wheedled into it by my Music teacher. Oh, well, I'm good at it, anyway!), and Modern Studies (Civics, I think it is called in the U.S.)

German class is kinda funky. I'm learning to speak German at school, and it is simple. We just moved off of Furniture to school subjects. I can describe Marky perfectly, too! - Heir ist Mark Hamill. Er hat Kurze, Blonde Haare, und blaue Augen. Er ist Vater zu drei Kinder und ein filmstreifen (Spelling of filmstar in German correct? Grammer there correct ? - I can't remember if it's ein or eine). Er tragt eine brille (Yep - he sometimes wears glasses. Honest!). I can even say my computer is broken, and that it's in my room. (the one in my room is, thanks to my dad, who bugged up the motherboard and hard-drive!). - Der Computer ist im der schlafzimmer, und er ist kaputt! (Vielen Dank, Vater!)

Gotta go.

See you all later.

With love, warm wishes and fondest regards,
May The Force Be With You.

Padawan Fiona.
