Possible Solution:

gita is what got me, but it could be wrong. it doesn't seem to fit but i give up.

from http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/gita

Quote:
gita = [gee-tah] = n : (Hinduism) the sacred `song of God' composed about 200 BC and incorporated into the Mahabharata (a Sanskrit epic); contains a discussion between Krishna and the Indian hero Arjuna on human nature and the purpose of life.

 		Hmm...Miss Corinn has a poem here that is titled The Silver Garden.

Quote:
The Silver Garden
I wander through the tall grass while the moon shines above

My shroud trails behind me and I hear a singing dove

From somewhere up ahead on this flower-covered path

I hear an almost silent giggling laugh

As if from a child playing hide and go seek

And between the long grass the fairies peek

I can see them now in the silver grass

Looking at me as I walk do I dare pass

By without stopping before their forms start to harden

I must keep moving to the glorious silver garden

It is where adam and eve were once kept in the dark

And now the dove changes to a bright singing lark

The silver garden is the place where dreams are born

And it is also the place where dark things go to mourn

So as I walk through the long grass as the moon shines above

I smile, and I frown, and I remember our love

 		Finding the Keys?
...more like guessing the keys
The only thing I have to go on is that Katrina is writing these codes. So, I assume that the key and decoded text are going to be made up of words that she commonly uses. I look through her blog posts and test some of the words she likes to repeat over and over again (garden, needles, silver, fire, etc.) until I see some letter patterns that look familiar. Then I work back and forth between the key and the decoded message until I get it completed. I don't know if that helps, but that's the best way I can explain it.

 		Honestly, I do most of mine with pencil and paper...I'm a big geek. Geek

But here is one I use when I am in a hurry or out of paper.

Also, if you go to the unfiction home page there is a link to a list of online tools that has a lot of helpful websites for the ARGer.

KATRINA PLESSING

http://these-sounds-even-in-the-haze.blogspot.com/index.html

I left a comment in the last entry that said, "Don't take the Pills!

And she answered in this entry:

could this be a request? as in: I.M. (instant message) "shesheisI"? or am i reading too much into this? at any rate, i've added the name shesheisi to my buddylist, and we'll see if this person ever signs on.

 		Lots more posts... and lots more to try and decipher! YAY!

I spoke to Frank for a while, but he had to go to dinner, I'll try and talk to him about Katrina, and get him to post a comment if possible.

 		Another code broken
Here's the most recent code Katrina has posted:

Using the key:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
My name is katrina plessing and i need your help. This is the clearest my thoughts have been in a long time and I need you to come save me.


Gives us:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The black walls seem to melt my soul
As time flies by I don't hear it pass
But something comes from inside the haze
And in the darkness I hear it pass.
I don't know what's happening
I don't know where I am.
Can you please come save me
Before they hurt me again?
When they give me the pill my life slips away.
But when I haven't had it I'm sober.
I need to stop taking the small silver pill
Or I'm afraid my life will soon be over.
I don't want to go to the garden any more
But when I go I won't want to leave.
Please, come save me, don't let me go.
Right now I don't know what to believe.


I'm going to submit this into the poetry contest on Katrina's behalf...we'll see if we get any reaction from it.
