I only remember bits of it, so here goes ;

It was set in the 1800's. A man and woman had a child (daughter) and she was deformed the midwife was going to strangle the baby but the father walked in before she could do anything. (the woman had the baby at her mothers house in a city) When they went back to their farm the woman fell pregnant again. One day the husband went into the cows shed and he was near one of the cafes and the mother cow pushed him up against the wall and his insides exploded and he died instantly. The wife loses the baby and moves back to her parents with her child.(thats all at the start of the book.)

It goes through the daughters and her cousins whole life. I think the child's name was Bella.

If anyone knows this book could they please tell me. I have been trying to remember what it was called but I can't so help would be greatly appreciated.

that was a major turning point for you? One where you never looked at life the same way again, after that moment? What was it?

I'll be trying out for Beauty and the Beast soon and I really want to make a good impression. It's a musical, and I'm pretty confident in my singing ability, but what do I do? I'm sick of bit parts...

In other words, is the sun's radiance an accidental or an essential property of the sun?

Don't Be A Stranger

Though the light shines bright
You will not enter
Why do you stand afar off
In the darkness
Is there a pain that hinders
Or is rebellion your only freedom
Does chaos reign in the intricacies
And is order just a weak realm
Will the love you seek
Be found in the dark mist
For you were issued from light
But you resist to return
If eyes do not lie
Then view mine
And find some measure
Of truth, logic and love
A shadowy step
I offer you to climb
So that your brightness
Will be brighter than mine

Ode To Poe

Dark, decrepit, dreary damned night
Fills my bowels with stones of fright
My eyes shift from the left to the right
While shadows dance in the pale moonlight

No human should walk the earth at this hour
Per chance to meet some unearthly power
I watch, I listen, I dodge, I cower
While heart burns, stomach churns, and mouth tastes sour

The cold wind howls with evil glee
Anticipating my destiny
I know some spectre waits for me
To rend, to end mortality

I watch it standing up ahead
With fingers of bone and eyes of red
Beckoning me to join the dead
I change my path, with feet of lead

I begin to tremble and I can swear
If only in mind, there's something here
And I die in waiting, there's death in fear
Damned night be gone, glorious dawn appear

Pain, Rain & Music

Now he’s got the girl
And I’ve got the pain
He’s got the honey
And I’ve got the rain

He gets kisses
While I get insane
But I got music
Running round in my brain

Pain inspired to compose
Black and Decker prose
A rose is a rose
But ends in woes

Her voice is gone
Let my heart sing
Of the days of spring
She was everything

Now absence from me
I must drown in the sea
Let the wave cover my agony
My agony

When I rise again
From the depths
From the precepts
I must accept
My all alone steps

And it doesn’t matter
That I shatter the quiet
With a musical riot
Cause deep down inside
I just don’t buy it

Cause he’s got the girl
And I’ve got the pain
He’s got the honey
And I’ve got the rain…

L’Oneliness

What mountain is higher than loneliness
And what valley is lower than despair
For my heart is torn in the wake of apathy
And I long for a life to share

The light stays dim behind my shades
And all the shadows glow
My voice echoes off the wall
With words that I don’t know

An orange beam filters in
Unwelcome guest in my room
What right the sun to be so bright
When I am filled with deadly gloom

My heart beats irregular
And my thoughts have no pattern
And I hear the wicked laughter
Because the ravens are a-gathering

My soul is on the wire
This might be the end
All the darkness, all the pain
Just cause

Me, Your ID

If orange were red
And red were blue
Would you look at me
If I said I was you

If the truth were a lie
And a lie were a joke
Could you tell my painting
By the stroke

Cause you plagiarize
And you stole from me
Now a lie you are
And shall ever be

When the sun gets mad
Orange turns to red
And the strokes on the canvas
Is where I bled

Now you are me
And I got what I’m due
And a joke is a joke
Cause I stole from you too

I almost never use it. Love is wordless. I guess, if it is known, then why does it need to be said... And if it is not known, then saying it is no guarantee of its validity, unless the recipient can be certain of truthfulness. What do you think?

If it is for reassurance, then would it be effective if there were a transition from "loving" to "not loving"? The transition would be very gradual, but there would be a degree of untruthfulness even to oneself in the period of uncertainty...

I don't do the lead role, I do the crazy, hard to act person in plays. My job is to make people laugh so hard they flip a lung. I'm good at my job and at the end of the day, people always say, "Oh that was the play that Paige played the crazy lady right? Who was the lead anyway?"
I'm pretty proud, but now I'm going to a new high school and I realize that I'm going to have to be better then ever if I want to get the parts I want, because I don't have any "experience" that school. Do you have any suggestions on how I can show them my talent at the auditions so I don't get the dumpy part with two lines?
