Who is Victoire? She is a "cousin" and as such is a Weasley. Is this Bill & Fleur's kid? Sounds sort of French...does anyone know for sure?? And I assumed that Harry would foster Teddy Lupin, so he could have parents like Harry never did!

Most of the time, couple fights over faults of each other, they keep giving reasons for their faults and the other partner questions his or her reasons... And after that, a big fight.

So, should we give reasons or question reasons?

If I entered your thoughts
what would I find?
Will it keep at peace the worries that
wrestle through my mind?
How will this work
if you don't talk to me?
I try so hard but you don't seem to see.
How can these bonds of trust we held,
no longer seem to meld?
I ask you this in hope that you'll understand
things will not work if we do not go through this together
hand in hand.

how long is a long time?

when is soon?

when is later?

who is us?

who is they?

what is a feeling?

what is a sound?

why am I here?

I'm going to be a Junior this year and like a year before I wanted to go to this performing arts school but thought it was to far but this year my sister is apparently going there (as a freshman). Now I CONSTANTLY rethink my decision because I SO wanted to go. We thought it was too late for me to apply this year but they said there was still a chance. BUT, I'm just used to my current school and...I don't know...I don't really feel the need to stay at that school because I really wanted to go to the performing arts, but I have a weird feeling like I want but don't really want to stay at my current school. Like I'm waiting for something to happen. Now I was really flip flopping on whether to go this year or not. I thought maybe I could always just go my senior year. You don't know I sad I get about this...I'm also trying to think how getting to know people situations would work out. I'm EXTREMELY SHY and have never really hung out with anyone (like other than family) my whole life.

My reasoning is this...that if a person "thinks of nothing" they are still thinking of something. (like that white room in the Matrix that extened to infinity). Agree?

this was written by a 13 year old.

im out of feelings,no emotion
nothing but anger
my brother who i love so much moved
when he left not a tear was shed
my aunt had a stroke
we went to visit her in the hospital
hundreds of tears fell
none of which were mine
i feel bad because i have no emotions left
except anger

...and, you still gain the future knowledge of that figure from 21st century! That means you REALLY know all about that figure, and you can avoid all his/her error in history!

You could be NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, avoiding being slaughtered by General Winter of Russia, conquering Great Britain, founding European Union centuries earlier.
Or, you could be ADOLF HITLER, avoiding confrontation with the Red Army, focusing on Western Front and Battle of Britain.
Or, you could be HANNIBAL OF CARTHAGO, succesfully driving Roman Troops, pre-emptiving their strikes to hearts of Roman Empire.
Or, you could be GENERAL CORNWALLIS, commanding Red Coats to ensure the failure of American Revolution, and the downfall of United States of America.
Or... whatever!! You could be anyone, anytime!!!


UNLIMITED POSSIBILITY!! What do you think then? Which figure and why? What would you do as that figure?

Ok, well i told him he could enter it in the writing contest at school, What do you think?

The moon rises,

The sun sets,

The moon sets,

The sun rises,

It will end.

Until then, we endure it,

Day with sun,

And night with moon.

The sun's revealings passed off as mirages,

But the moon's, they are demons.

Pathetic what humans think.

That story will end, until then,

I endure.

And thus, I have a purpose.



A school, a place to learn,

But if that is all a school is,

Is the radio a school?

What about the television?

The computer?

A book?

Some crazy man's rant?

No, there is more meaning to a school.

But what?

Is there even a meaning for life?

Making up people to impersonate,

What about that?

Fun?

Something to do while you are bored?

A way for a person who everyone hates to be accepted?

But, everyone has a story.

And every story ends.



So the school starts,

But ends, until then,

Enjoy what you have,

Someday, your story will end.

Until then,

Live.



Stories, we all have our own.

Some have more.

We all hide some of the story.

Most stories go untold.

Some aren't long.

Some stretch longer than you could read them.

But they all end.





A rose, the symbol of love,

Painful until you manage to pluck it,

Then it is sweet.

Weather you hang it upside down to keep it from losing its color,

Or let it sit there and rot,

It is your decision.

Just keep in mind that all stories end.

Love will also,

Weather you break up,

Or stay together for life.

It is up to you.

Just keep in mind all stories have an ending.

Until that end,

Endure,

Embrace,

Live.



Happiness,

Is it joyful,

Or is it like love?

Hurtful,

Yet sweet.

One who tries to make everybody happy,

Has got to be happy themselves.

Otherwise, one persons dream,

Is another’s nightmare.

Sometimes it is necessary to challenge what people in authority claim to be true. Although some respect for authority is, no doubt, necessary in order for any group or organization to fuction, questioning the people in charge - even if they are experts or leaders in their fields - makes us better thinkers. It forces all concerned to defend old ideas and decisions and to consider new ones. Sometimes it can even correct old errors in thought and put an end to wrong actions.
---So my question is: Is it important to question the ideas and decisions of people in positions of authority?

plz explain or give reason/example

a flick of light ignited a wick and illuminates her whole life. she fixed her stare and gazed blankly with thoughts that seemed so far away...

she brought her hands near the flame, felt its warmth.. played around with the melted candle wax which burnt her fingertips, a pinch of pain that ended soon enough before she could even remember the feeling that it brought her.

her sight starts to blur, as her light slowly hypnotizes her...

.....

crackling sounds that weren't supposed to be there filled her ears. a glint of bright orange forced her weary eyes to widen up. tongues of fire were licking the wooden furniture, crawling up the curtains. the flick of light that once illuminated her, starts to take her over. warm... hot... burning. the exit appears to be as clear as it can be. despite the scene that plays before her very eyes, no further action was made. she stayed fixed on her spot. never even dared to move a muscle. not even a strike of fear could be seen in her innocent eyes. she burnt herself to death. a twitch of a muscle left on her face that may have resembled a smile..

she was trapped within, or yet, she trapped herself. swallowed within the flames that once granted her the passion that's all she had ever asked for. gulped down by his fire... to her, his warmth... her so-called fireplace... his inferno...
