  • Ahh one month left until you're 18! How exciting! :D hehe.

    I'd love to visit America some day. I have some family there, so who knows maybe one day...haha.

    Unfortunately, no I did not. But I do draw :) I'm just a little too shy to let people see *blush* haha.

    How has life been treating you? :)
    Why hello there Bramblefox! I know this may seem random, but random can equal a potential awesome TDL friend! :D.

    Let me introduce myself. I am Elika. 18. From the land down under.
    Drawing? sounds exciting, I love drawing too! lol, just found out i had the talent xD i had never tried it before, but i love doing it and i'm getting better at it! :)
    How's school going? or u'll get in college??
    I've been doing fine, just surviving :p and TRYING to keep up with life. It's been pretty surprising these last days, so I'm like: Come on, give me a break!
    hey, u have msn?
    oh, and btw... I don't think I know your name :eek:
    The Man Who Laughs is out of print, I think, but I have it in a Barnes and Noble Collection of Hugo. I don't know about the others....
    Hugo was a depressing man who seems bent on making me cry almost every time I read something by him...
    I didn't have time over vaction. I will over the summer though, although I don't have the tranlastion I perfer....(the one I have now is in this giant hardbound book I have that has three novels by Victor Hugo in it. At 15 bucks it was too big a deal to pass up)
    I named a toad I found yesterday Javert. And a Beetle that landed on my today. Once I found a wolf spider and called it Javert the Spidert. Because I'm not obsessed.

    have you read anything else by Hugo? I've read The Man Who Laughs, the Last day of a Condemned Man, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Toilers of the Sea.
    It's been a while since I've read the book. I need to read it again...
    But I did realize the 24601 thing was from the musical. Mostly cuz Javert sounds so darn sexy when he sings it. lol.
    My poem to Victor Hugo was better, but I don't know where it is..
    I'd probably hate her for not being Victor Hugo. Lol.

    Here's the Javert poem. It's not so good. (I wrote it during Bio)


    There was a man called Javert
    Who hunted Jean Valjean
    Whenever he came near
    Valjean was sure to run

    He hunted him for many a year
    With bitter determination
    Valjean always lived in fear
    Of the unavoidable confrontation

    To the revolutionary barricade
    Javert set out to spy
    But Gavroche saw through his charade
    And exposed him with a cry

    “I’ll deal with him,” a loud voice said,
    The voice of Jean Valjean
    Javert thought he would be dead,
    Tied tightly in his bonds

    It is his right to kill me,
    Javert grimly thought.
    I’ve hunted this thief without mercy,
    And now he has me caught.

    Javert readied himself for demise,
    For that final blow
    But Valjean took him by surprise
    Cut his bonds and let him go.

    Javert ran from that place,
    He left to sneak around
    So he lurked, he laid in wait
    Valjean must be found.

    He again met Valjean
    At a sewer’s exit
    Carrying a wounded one
    From down within that pit.

    “24601, again we meet!”
    Javert said as he came near
    Catching him would be so sweet
    After all these years.

    “Please sir,” the tired convict said,
    “Just let me bring him home,
    He’s wounded and he’s almost dead.”
    Javert agreed, but followed so he could not roam.

    The weary old Valjean
    Carried the wounded home, safe and sound
    But when he turned, Javert was gone,
    Nowhere to be found.

    Javert ran away
    To a swollen river
    Thinking about what had passed that day
    Made his stone heart quiver.

    “I cannot live in a thief’s debt,”
    The Inspector cried.
    “He saved my life, and yet
    I know that I should have died!”

    And so Inspector Javert
    Could not stand to his forgiver
    His life he could no longer bare-
    He gave it to the river.
