I love that one! The movie "Hoax" with Richard Gere is great. That having been said, I’m madly in love with both Richard Gere and George Clooney so I think anything there in is an amzing work of art (and the vast majority of the time, it actully is!).

I think my favourite of all hoax’s would be the enduring crop circle saga because it always comes back to the same old question "is it or isn’t it real"?

Speaking of Dolphins… I was at the "The Catalina Island Ski Race" in a cigarette boat going flat out from long beach to the island when a pod of dolphins began jumping next to our boat. Oh my gosh! "Go! Go!" We waved up and off we went! Exhilarating feeling. Wish I had have been skiing it! I will next year though! Xx

WOW! See, poeple in Australia, where I’m from, just arent as passionate about their country or their government. There’s a real sence of apathy, not all the time but enough of the time for me, a 20 year old, to notice it.

One day when I’m protesting for my cause, the craniofacial kids, of whom I’m one, whose surgeries are in the tens of thousands of dollars and so much of the time not covered by private health insurance because its deemed cosmetic (One of my little friends was born without a ear and her HMO wouldn’t cover the surgery because, apparently, having an ear is an aesthetic concern not a hearing and health concern!?). I sure that one day I will probably be arrested for that too and you know what, I’ll be proud! Standing up for what you believe in is the most patriotic thing you can do! Happy Independence day America!

All my love,

Me too! That and the last post. When either of them are played (even the bagpipes on a happy ocasion) i start to cry like a blithering idiot. There just so beautiful.

By the way james, I used to do the exact same thing you do… You said that no one would come to your funeral or that people wound’t cry. Don’t make appologies for yourself. I’m sure your an absolute stand up human being. If you say things enough you begin to believe it. its a mantra I live by… only I do the exact oposite- I say "I’m special and people love me for who I am and those who don’t aren’t worth the time". I’m positive your a really awesome dude! Have a good day and don’t let the world get you down. Your on my "cool people" list.

My name’s Bianca and I live in Sydney, Australia. I’m 20 years old, I’m a singer/songwriter and an actress (www.missbiancamoon.com). I was born with a Craniofacial Disfigurementand have had 4 plastic reconstructive surgeries and neuro surgery. Today I’m a normal looking girl (as you can see from my profile picture) but when I was born… well, lets just say there wasn’t a great deal of hope back then that I would be anything close to normal. I have organ donor muscles in my eyes, a metal rod in my nose, a shunt in my brain, I’m missing the back of my top two vertebrae and I have a 6 inch long synthetic piece of skull at the back of my head that replaces what my surgeons had to remove when I was 15.

You hear of people every so often that make you think "I am so proud of you!". Even though I don’t know either of you, Deniseann or Beth, what you have both done and been through makes me so proud to be someone who has battle scars to show for a life well lived. You didn’t give up and you both did what had to be done to be who you are today.

I was bullied so badly when I was at school because I looked different. People are so affraid of difference and its so stupid and incredibly infuriating! All I wanted to be when I was at school was normal like everyone else but then, in high school, I came across the most awesome teacher in the whole world who convinced me that its far better to be who you are… and who I was was someone who was different to eveyone else, not because I looked different but because I had the ability to keep on keeping on through everyday. It was then that I grew into myself, so to speak, and stoped try to make excusses for who I was. You never ever give up, that’s what she taught me! You guys are amazing and I love you both for all you’ve done!

PS. Ms Bergen, your my Idol and I think your totally awesome too! LOL

Lots of Love,

Xx Bianca
