Hopeless at this kind of thing, so tell me - how do you pronounce Kurt Vonnegut?? Is it VONN-I-GUT (to rhyme with BONNY NUT as someone on another website once said) or something completley different?

The Mediator
The Left Behind Series (also theological)
Eragon & Eldest
Enchantment
Coraline
The Goose Girl
East
Beauty
T*Witches
and lots more, but I can't remember the rest!

I will get to:
Lord the Rings series
Tamora Pierce books

If every species on earth is different in genetics and appearance, it's most likely that every species on every other planet in some other galaxy is too. What are the odds of finding a human population in another galaxy just like ours?. And why is it that God is always male? If he is truly the God that we define in the bible, then why must he be worshipped ? Isn't being worshipped something that a vain man would want? Why must he be jealous? After all he is the almighty right? Or is he that insecure that he needs to be reassured that he is great and loved? Isn't jealousy a weak human trait? If he was truly here way before the big bang, then he would love everyone no matter who or what they worshipped, because everything that is here, he created, directly or indirectly.

i work with people with intellectual disabilities. we are doing a play, part of our play is about Harry potter and we need a song to dance to.
-it can't be sexual , AT ALL
-not too fast, but not a slow song.

so far we we've decided to wear all black with capes and glowing/flashing/fluro detail.

we are going to be dancing around with 'glow in the dark' wands it must be a 'fun' song.
can you suggest a "magical" song?? right now they are going to use HOCUS POCUS - and i hate it.

S Do you think my life is over because of this?
i dont want to have a boyfriend, or a husband or get married, i dont want to have kids.
i dont think i could love someone really or make them happy, i just dont feel like anybody deserves me not even a child and for the child to suffer because i would be his or her mother.
i dont even want to meet with my textmate for three years though we have known a lot from each other, i avoid social interaction with men i feel inadequate, i mostly feel like killing myself but i just tell myself tomorrow is another day i serioulsy might get better, im turning 20 and turned down all the chances to have a relationship with men. and i cant even focus on my studies, i seriously feel that nothing is important anymore not even money, career, or my dreams, im losing all, its just empty, i know im depressed but i just cant even tell it to my parents cause its far too weird for them to understand that most days i wish to have cancer just so i could feel pain, and then perhaps i would want to cherish life

Is the act of questioning something only human beings do? Do rabbits ask "when" their next meal will come from? Do flies ask "why" a spider is devouring them? Do birds wonder "where" they are when they are flying about? Do bears ask "how" to climb a tree to get the honey? Do white corpuscles question "what" it is they are devouring?

Is it unnatural or even silly to ask questions at all? We humans have higher brain functions, something that separates us from other creatures. It would seem that this gives us an extraordinary perspective on the universe, and thus this need to ask questions about, well, everything!

But is it possible that the rest of the Wild Kingdom has it right? Why bother asking questions at all? Do you see the irony in all the questions I've asked? :)

I've just started to play the guitar and the book I'm using mentions deadening a string but doesn't tell me what exactly that is. I thought it might mean not plucking that string, but I'm not sure. Can anyone clarify?
