To be, or

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

To be, or

To be, or not to be, that is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing, end them? To die, to sleep--no more, and by sleep to say we end the heartache, and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to. Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished.

Er . . . random? I've memorized the the first part of Hamlet's famous speech. I think it means:
To live, or not to live, that is the question. Is it more honorable to suffer the unjustness of life, or to end it by killing yourself? If death meant to sleep, and by sleep I mean to end the suffering of life, it would be wonderful.
Or something. What do you think it means?
This can be a thread about Shakespeare, quotes, randomness . . . ;D

No umlauts to do that way, unless there's an umlaut over the N. :)

How do you do the umlauts anyway?

I have a Microsoft Windows. A really old one. It's, uh, about six or seven years old.

I dunno how the links happened. I did copy + paste from another site, but how it linked it, I have no clue. (small mistake, Admin, perchance?)

Willa, when I post (like now), I only see your above comment. I can't tell what you are referring to. What link? What thread is your comment on and how can I find it?

Ooh! I've performed in Macbeth (Lady Macbeth), Twelfth Night (Olivia), Much Ado About Nothing (Hero) and A Midsummer Night's Dream (Helena last year in school, and now Titania outside of school).

So I know parts of all those plays . . . Although we did do abridged versions, still! 

Fun fun fun!!

The "D" word?

"Oh single soled joke! Solely singular for it's singleness!"
*giggles* Who said that? Does anyone know? Guess! :)
