Something I find of intrest was the Tsavo maneating Lions. Two maneless, large and aggressive lions that killed 135 workers in Kenya. This story was turned into a pretty acurate movie called the Ghost and the Darkness.

The story of King Edward II was also pretty fascinating.

How he was hated as a king, how he finally became dethroned, then, murdered in a horrific way.

So it's your turn - what story in history that captivated you, or horrified you, or delighted you? Provide links to sites if you can so we can all read about it :)

I want to write a teen book series, since I love them so much and I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm 30 and I like them better then the best seller stuff not including Nicolas Sparks novels. But I really want to do this and I wanted it to be a teen series but have some kind of mystery to it like the private series or Pretty Little Liars and not just be a book serie about pretty rich kids like Gossip Girl or the A List. I've got a great idea and even started writing it a couple of weeks ago but some times, and I'm talking days at a time I just don't feel like writing. This is to all the writers out there how do you motivate yourself to write more?

I have an assignment for my 10th grade honors history class where we have to pick any american history topic and come up with discussion questions for that topic to lead the class. An example would be 'What affect would the Holocaust have on the world if it were going on today?' I was thinking about doing prohibition of alcohol. What are some discussion questions and answers tying in that topic with the world today. I do have a few in mind, I'd just like to hear some others for a better understanding on the positive and negative points of it.

Sometimes we go throughout our lives
And never have a clue
Of how to find true happiness
To find a love that's true
We look in different places
We open every door
But every time we end up
In a place we've been before
Each soul must search an endless path
Each heart must find it's way
With scars and tears through countless years
A price that's hard to pay
Sometimes we stay togather
Sometimes we drift apart
And sometimes life just throws a curve
Before we ever start
I don't have all the answers
Don't even have a clue
But if I have to start somewhere
I'll start by loving you..

My friend and a few of his friends asked me if i'd do some photos, both group and couples. They requested because they're aware i'm short on cash, but am rather handy with a camera... the problem is that they asked me what i'd charge, and i haven't the slightest idea what the going rate for a "middle-class" photographer is!
Can anyone give me any ideas?

~For Now~

Do me the honor of
telling the truth. Anything
else, only further pulls us
apart. If you're not
good, then I will
pretend to love you. It
will be my punishment on
you, for hurting me. But,
you see, mine is no
true love; so
perhaps it is
best just to say
goodbye.
Oh, but know
this: If I am still here, when
the moon has wept it's
last tear; when
the sun has bade
"Farewell!" to the Earth--then I
will still have your
picture, your words, swelling
in my heart. Keeping a light
burning, even in a frozen
place.
You may say goodbye forever,
but I will never, with still the
capability to hold tightly,
let you leave me altogether.


I would love to hear what you all think. I have diverged from my usual style, for a less technical approach. So tear it to shreds--I can take it. :-) And I would appreciate any information on the rules of free verse--I'm new to it.

It's my dream. I want to become one so bad. I'm only 14 years of age, but many actresses are younger than 18. I'm looking for websites that I can join, but you don't have to be 18.
I'm ready for rejection, I'm not stupid, I know it's bound to happen.
I live in New York, an hour from the city, so I can go there for stuff, I suppose.
I haven't been in any school plays, because If you mess up on stage, It's not like they can go "Okay, take 2" or something like that.
If you mess up in an interview or something like that, atleast you can go to another one or they can always say "Okay, take a deep breath and try again"
I already know what to say to the big question they will ask, "Tell me about yourself."
I haven't told either of my parents yet, but I plan on telling them sometime soon.
So please, Any websites that I can join where you don't have to be over 18, please type it on here, thankyou.
I appreciate this.
