I was thinking and how do people get into movies then end up making it big? i know good acting/comedy and such are what do it but when people start out how do you surpass others and become well known?

My friends says she wants a "real camera" for her birthday. She is going to be going to photography school next year. She doesn't want a normal digital camera. She wants one that professional protographers use. ..I have no idea what this is- but some of her friends and I are looking into getting one big present for her and this might be it. Can you tell me more about "real cameras?" Also, where can I get a good one with excellent color quality?

Well, I'm an aspiring writer and I know that I have talent in writing. I recently bought a book called "Jeff Herman's Guide to Book Publishers, Editors, & Literary Agents 2007". In the writer's advice section I'm pretty sure there wasn't anything about copy writing, but if I did get my manuscript copyrighted and got it published and sent to literary agents do you think they would consider that amateurish?

Advice on that is greatly appreciated.

I know of some essays and online articles that explain more about the allround situation at the time 1984 plays out and some have broad info on how the situation came to be as it is in Winston Smith's day but: is there an actual in-depth book charting the war and revolution leading up to the 1984 world?

PS I already know of the novel 1985

Why? How? How does forgiveness make sense, how is it necessary, how can i not resent someone when it seems so reasonable and logical. Such as to prevent further injury, I should have resentment in mind, right?

I know I need to forgive but I don't know how.
and don't give me any of that "becasue its good for you" bullshit. just tell me why and how. or rather, explain to me how resentment and retaliation are senseless. please.

I've seen lots of questions about reading books online. I found the site below for anyone that is interested.

My Books and More Books
http://www.my-booksandmorebooks.net

is a web site that has lists of adult books that can be read online on the Adult_Books page and children's books and fairy tales that are either read to children on the computer or can be read from selected books a lot of which have illustrations on the Kids_Page. For people interested in the most recent book from their favorite author there is a New_Books page which lists a lot of sources for finding new books as well as a short list of the newest books that I have found. That page also has a link to the library and a new site link to "Library Elf" which helps you keep track of when your books are due so that you will never have to pay a fine again. There are many other pages that may be of interest.

I do not believe in past lives but instead I believe those memories are from the collective unconscious.

If you don't know what collective unconscious is look it up -- it is a very interesting concept.

Tell me what you think. Do i write well? Feel free to give suggestions.


It was a quarter to midnight. Three dark figures crowded around a small marble table in the center of a spherical room with a high domed ceiling. The orange glare of the crackling fire shadowed their features, leisurely clouding the room with dense, gray smoke.
Desarray Decklen studied her reflection in a mirror hanging above the fire place. Despite the semi- darkness, her radiance remained abundant… at least to Theodore Dexan who was admiring her from the opposite side of the table.
Dexan, as he preferred to be called, was dressed the same as Desarray – in a long black cloak— except for Desarray’s green broche which became a common accessory to those who knew her well.
Desarray caught his stare and smiled curiously, her teeth as white as snow. Dexan turned away, pretending to stare at the roaring fire.
