I was wondering who else has the same background as me...
My mum was born in S.Africa, my dad was born in Switzerland and I was born in Canada. But both my grandparents are from Switzerland. So what nationality would I mostly be? ( Besides Canadian)

When a radiant sun sets over a glistening lavender bay,
Or a tiny baby robin takes its first flight during a magical spring hour,
What words come to mind, what grander message can one possibly convey?
For beauty is by far the most wondrous pleasure this world has to offer.

It takes its presence in every object and every being on this land,
From the most marvelous and kingly palaces to a delicate blossoming yellow daisy.
Beauty has no definite shape nor figure, as I have come to understand,
It all depends on how pure one’s mind and how deep his soul can see.

Thus, the brilliance of such beauty is without a doubt unrivaled in extent,
For how can one possibly compare the magnificence of a priceless Greek statue,
To the breath-taking elegance of a simple red rose left in its element.
For beauty should never be measured as many wrongfully do.

The uniqueness of said beauty has limitless achieve,
So open your eyes and acknowledge what others have failed to perceive.

I'm having a Phantom of the Opera themed wedding. Does anyone know where I can find a Phantom of the Opera Instrumental soundtrack? Movie or from the play -- it really doesn't matter -- but I do need the music without the singing,

Thanks!

I'm looking for a book, it's about a girl who is murdered, and I think raped, and then she talks about being buried and a dog finds her bones. And then she talks about her heaven. The only line I can remember is " there wasn't any BullS**T in my heaven." it's a teen book anyone read it?

I don't like fantasy and mystery books.

Preferably books with tragedies that people face through and overcome their problems, something like that, if not tell me another book to read.

Thank you

:)

I'm sixteen going on seventeen and I wish to take ballet lessons again. I took classes for a year when I was younger but had to stop due to lack of transportation and I didn't like the studio much. Is there a place any of you would recommend in North Dallas or Richardson where I can train as a beginner but with my own age group? And would I be able to pick up ballet again at this age and be a more than decent ballerina?

I see many more "mature" people try to pass their wisdom onto me and my more youthful friends. It seems age only brings a excessive degree of confidence or rather superiority. (No offense older crowd, but hey, a lot of people do this, and I don't appreciate being treated like i know little of the world)

I'm in a Sherlock Holmes skit this coming April and I borrowed a pipe from a friend of mine to use as a prop. He collects them and lent this particular one to me asking me to take extra special care of it, of course. Problem is, it still smells horribly of tobacco and I can even taste the smoke when I inhale with it in my mouth. It's not very pleasant, unfotunately. I was wondering if there was any way I could possibly get rid of those things without harming the pipe itself in anyway?
