I've thought about this question, as have other Y/A users apparently, judging by others posting the same quote. I think the first part of the quote is correct (b/c frankly, who wants to go to hell except maybe Satan worshippers??). However, if people did wish to die, and I'm not talking about the terminal cancer patient, or religious person who thinks hell is here on Earth. I'm talking about the average Joe/Jane, going to work everyday, maybe has kids, pays taxes, etc... If they, being considered sane, but openly expressed a wished to die, would be called crazy or depressed, put in a padded cell, and/or be given medication? Even if they are none of these things?

This casts a dark shadow on the whole concept of Noah's Ark. Don't it? And the pudding is in the Bible. How quaint.

I got a Speedlite 430EX that came with my Canon Rebel xti and I don't have a clue as to how to use the thing or why I should use it over the regular built in flash. I did read the manual but i don't know how to apply what it said to my camera. For example.. what is flash exposure lock? What is high speed sync good for? Why would i need a "trail" in Second Curtain Sync? I semi understand bounce flash althogh it doesn't ever seem to do what i think it will. Any tips with that? And why is there a zoom option on the flash? And what wide panel are they referring to? Any help would be godsend, thanks lol. Oh and what is a slave? And while i have a whole stream of questions, why even with the flash on in my house can i not get a even semi decent speed in AP mode. It won't even go over 1/50 ever. Usually it stays alot lower than that, sometimes in the 0'' range.

What did Medieval/Renaissance people wear for underwear under their chemises(If dress required a chemise)?
(I am afraid my chemise may be see-thru because it is white, and I don't want to do the britney spears thing with no underwear.)
I have never been to a Ren Faire before, but it sounds like fun, so I plan to go to a local one this summer and I want to be as historically accurate as possible. So can you help me please?

Im 13. Ever since i was younger iv always wanted to be an actress. I really love acting and everyone in my drama class at school says im really good including my teacher. i get asked if i go to a drama club all the time but i dont. i used to go to musical theatre but i packed that in as im useless at singing and i wasn't gettin anything out of it as i hated every lesson. its my dream to be on TV one day, in a film or in a soap im not bothered, i just want to act. Im shy but when i get up an perform all that goes away and i get into charcter and i don't care if i embarrass myself. The main problem is i live about a 4 hour drive from the capital city, london, where all the auditions are and where the main shows are filmed so i cant really go. even if i did go and got the part i would have to move there for a bit or get a train. When im older i plan to go to university then get an agent, but how much are they?will i have enough money for on?Please help me acting is all i want to do.Thanks

-The glory of love-

Every morning I wake I think of her, this morning especially! Mystic thoughts keep going away making my life agony. I live in reality, where she is not mine, even though I wished so. Dire is my love, and so I think of it, hoping it to go.
Why do we fall in love, and make our lives misery. When being so, I think of it only, ignoring the others around me. Even though I know, that she is just another, I think of her only. What will happen to me, I dare not think of, honestly.
Betrayed I have a few that I care of, and because of that I curse on it. Still love is something dear to me, and I thank it for thee.
How I wished you were mine, then would I change? Behind the wall, would you see the one meant for thee? If not so, then I wouldn’t change, and would not give my heart to thee.
Either way, you will not be mine, for you are only imaginary!
