OMG I gotta an idea for bookclub?????

Ok ladies I thought of a cool way/sytem for us when we don't know what book to pick; tell me if you like this idea or not:

So I was thinking of taking all the books we have on our "suggestion" list and cutting them up and putting them in a hat (a container really). The concept would be that we have tons of suggestions in the hat and when anyone simply can't think of a book we utilize our current suggestion base by randomly sticking our hand in the hat and picking a book. So it's a book picked at random but from our suggestion list. Does that make sense?

You guys wanna do this? You think we will utilize the system?

Also I thought that if and when someone had new book suggestions; you just bring a tiny slip of paper folded and throw in in the hat, further accumilating book suggestions to utilize.

Also if someone wants to read a book on their own and can't think of one you could pick at random adding a little mystery to your read.

Let me know if this sounds good or not. I wont commence cutting until I hear back from the troops.

In Class

This is a poem I wrote in Highschool. I remember well cuz I wrote alot during class instead of pay attention. Julie I thought you'd get a kick out of it even though you're students are younger.

By Ali Scontrino
Kill me now
I don't know how
I'm bored inside, and want to hide
The noise is driving me insane
I want to kill this dame
Take me away from this hell
I guess I'll never hear the bell
Loud and annoying is all I hear
Save me before I shed this tear
I struggle inside until the end
Please read this message that I send
Run if you can
Try to get away
Before we come here another day
Kill me now, before I choke
The proding teacher continues to poke
The knife insdie starts to cut
My insanity lies inside it's hut
She talks and talks until i'm bored
I want to cut her with my sword
Save me please, whoever cares!
Draw in this sharp pain that I bare
My hot tears roll down my face
This boredom flows at a slow pace
Kill me now, I say again
Before there is no more ink in this pen.

What is a fuck-up?

What is a Fuck-Up? by Ali Scontrino
I don't understand?
Who are you to determine?
We all make mistakes, do something wrong.
Are you beyond it all now that you've aged?
I always thought a fuck-up was someone that has given up on life or lost their goals.
Maybe dipped into harsh drugs and can't come back.
I thought it was someone who stopped caring, whether it be about life, themselves or the people around them.
So I ask again what a fuck-up is? I know I'm not, for I keep going each and every day.
I live life to the fullest and fulfill the goals I give myself.
I heard this term thrown about in argument before ad it hurts.
It hurts to be referred to or have people close to me referred to as fuck-ups when the mouth stating the term is the biggest fuck up of them all!!!!
Best not judge or be judged.

Written a few years ago when I was in the lengthy process of acknowledging that Mott was a negative, belittler due to his own insecurities and unhappiness. Found as I was cleaning my desk and thought I'd share.
