h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

ok.

Should I keep writing, or do you think what we have is enough?

I definitely think we need more verses. Can you write about two more?
Pweeze?

Of corse!

Oh and by the way, we have a literary magazine at our schhol (I worked for it last year) and the submitions are due tomarrow. I doubt you'll be able to reply before then but as soon as we finish this song, would it be alright if I sent it off to the magazine? to be published? I'm quite sure it would be, and I'd give us both credit. They'll flip when they here some one from across the globe is submitting to them. PLEASE! As soon as we're done, I want to submit it, we'll be aloud to submit and use it other places but I think it would be cool.

Thank you!

Yes!!
I think that's a great idea!

Ok, I wrote one more verse for the song… but I really need your help on the last one! The sparkplugs magazine has postponed their due date to Monday. So I hoping we could write, edit and finish by the end of today!

This is my verse:

Now I know I have to change,
Just can’t live and stay the same,
I must move on, now that you gone.
The sound of silence wants no pain…

er… yeah… you can edit what ever you like.

Oh! and also, To submit it, I need you first name (which is Lily… correct?) and I need you last name initial. For example, I would write my name like:
Alexandra C.

I don’t want your whole last name, just the first initial… so that if we’re published, we’re given credit.

Okay then... Lily R. And make sure to send me a scan of it, okay

Speak your mind, say what you will,
As I lie thinking, time stands still,
Days are long and years drag on
The sound of silence... it seems so shrill

(That was crap, but oh well. Feel free to change it)

That was fine! And then we'll have another chorus right? Well I'm sick today (the day it's due) so hopfully, I can give it in tomarrow explaining I was sick and they'll except it. I don't see, why they wouldn't... I mean, it's soooo good how can they so no?

any way keep your fingers crossed... this is what I'll turn in then ok?

Alexandra C. & Lily R.

Silent Sounds

Whatever this darkness seems to be,
The truth is only known between you and me,
And now you're gone and I've moved on,
The sound of silence sets me free…

And as I bid the dreams goodbye,
I hold back the tears, and try not to cry.
I shut the door, and ask nothing more.
The sound of silence tells me why…

Silent sounds from deep within
Call my name as the tears begin.
Sleeping shadows, spare my soul
In my heart a gaping hole.
Silent sounds - please take your leave
I need space to live and breathe
Steal my hopes and fly away
My life begins anew today.

Here I am, months down the track,
Vanished fate, slipped through a crack,
I can't move on - now that you're gone
The sound of silence holds me back…

Some get bored with how time lasts,
Others think it goes too fast,
But time for me hath no boundary,
The sound of silence won't let it past…

Silent sounds from deep within
Call my name as the tears begin.
Sleeping shadows, spare my soul
In my heart a gaping hole.
Silent sounds - please take your leave
I need space to live and breathe
Steal my hopes and fly away
My life begins anew today.

Now I know I have to change,
Just can’t live and stay the same,
I must move on, now that you gone.
The sound of silence wants no pain…

Speak your mind, say what you will,
As I lie thinking, time stands still,
Days are long and years drag on
The sound of silence... it seems so shrill…

Silent sounds from deep within
Call my name as the tears begin.
Sleeping shadows, spare my soul
In my heart a gaping hole.
Silent sounds - please take your leave
I need space to live and breathe
Steal my hopes and fly away
My life begins anew today.

I just thought of somthing... in the chorus... the line

In my heart a gaping hole

shouldn't it be:
In my heart - a gaping hole

or perhaps:
In my heart's a gaping hole

????????????????????????????

ok, i'm gonna get turn it in by 5th hour tomarow, so try to get back to me as soon as posible, or else it's going in as is. (they might even edit it if they want it to be published)

I think it looks fine - did you submit it?

(And in Australia, we do go by grades... I'm in Year 9... well, I was. Next year I'll be in year 10)Auuuuugh!! Exams in year 10...

yes I submitted it... we have exams every year. BIG ones called the FCAT!!! EVIL!!!
