Sailor Jupiter Says...

"In Flanders fields the poppies blow
   Between the crosses, row on row,
   That mark our place; and in the sky
   The larks, still bravely singing, fly
   Scarce heard amid the guns below.

   We are the Dead. Short days ago
   We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
   Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
   In Flanders fields.

   Take up our quarrel with the foe:
   To you from failing hands we throw
   The torch; be yours to hold it high.
   If ye break faith with us who die
   We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
   In Flanders fields."
                        --John McCrae.

This poem was written by John McCrae, a doctor in the Canadian Armed Forces, in 1915. He died in 1918 while on active duty, but his words remain a symbol of Remembrance Day even now. Remembrance Day, November 11, commemorates the end of WWI and the sacrifices of Canadians who died in WWI, WWII, and the Korean War. For more info, check out these links:

Courage Remembered Remembrance Day 1997 Anyways...not much to write this month, 'cause I don't think anything much happened to me in October...besides Halloween, of course, but I was sick anyways so I didn't even get to dress up! *sob* So there went my favourite holiday...oh, yeah, and the opera ROCKED!! It was really amazing. *L* I think the best part, though, was all the snotty looks we got from the regular season ticket holders (guess the four of us just didn't quite fit in, oh well!!).

Hmmm...let me apologize again for being so slow to work on this page...I added a few (very few!) links in October, but that was all I had time for, because I'm still in the middle of midterms. Actually, my last one is this Thursday...and then I have a whole two weeks until finals start!! YAY!!! Needless to say, I'm just a wee bit stressed right now. ^_^ But then, that's life, right? At university, anyways!

Oh, yay!! I just realized it's Monday, and that means ANIME NIGHT!! Since the semester started I've been a member of the U of L Japanese Anime & Manga Society (ULJAMS), so I get to watch anime every week (what fun!!). You can check out our club webpage here...or to take a look at pages on some of my new faves, check out the pics below!! Um...October's SJS is in the archive, and bye for now!!
