If you see a man/woman who is the sexiest darned thing in the world, and they are pretty nice, are they beautiful? Or if you see a man/woman who is not all that attractive opening their heart and trying to make other people happy, are they beautiful?

should i discard of this or write it in my journal?

welts all over my body
broken glass surrounds me as i sleep
the world fades as my dreams get deep
a feeling of temporary content
only temporary until

GET UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the ominous voice boomed a reaction of silence filled the room going as far as to make the furniture feel uncomfortable
roaches scattered and lights flickered
oh how i wish i could hide with the roaches
how i wish i could just simply hide away with no bothers no cares no priority's or responsibilities

NOW!!!!!!!!!

fine i'm awake

COME ON
COME ON COME ON BONES DON"T BURN THEMSELVES!

no more no more i hurl my self into the fire
give me the painful loving embrace of death
i've waited so eagerly for


NO these flames not meant for you to desecrate

skeleton hands push me out out back into my room surrounded by broken glass once again

once again the day stays the same

I fight to do whats right
I long to do whats wrong
I must be strong
People dont understand
They dont know my heart
or their not that smart
I must go
and let them know
I am no wild thing
I am a child of the king
There was a price paid
and nothing is greater
Than the sacrifice he made.

I want to be an actor and was wondering which would be better for my career, going to college and earning a theatre degree (which would take 4 years of very valuable time) or jump straight into acting classes?

Retract the rails laid across this wasteland
Boxcars filled with thoughts of redemption
Seeking salvation
Transcendence
Rebirth
An epiphany (for what it's worth)
Is where I missed my stop
Now I don't know where I'll get off
But I can't get any information
About the location of the next station

Which way to the asylum?????

Drowning in a quagmire of toxins
The acid and oil with which
They once baptized the mad
Electric shock therapy
Raising the dead
Parade to the slaughterhouse
For which we are bred

To rise above is blasphemy
A veritable Tower of Babel
Blind as moles we struggle
Towards the light at the end of the tunnel
Personally, I've grown weary
Of near-death experiences
Tired of being railroaded
Into astral projection
I lay down the tracks
That lead from absolution
Please don't resuscitate me this time
I beg you...

got revenge on this guy. I destroyed his property. I ruined his finances. Made the love of his life leave him. I tricked him. I hired an accomplice to help me out and even got some of his misery/break down on video. He knew I did it and confronted me. I laughed but I didn't admit what I did. Does that make a coward and why did it feel good keeping it from him even though he knew I did it?

Should I confess or keep it inside and keep laughing at his misery? He's really angry, do you think he will get me back? A friend told me that he said I 'had mine coming?' Also, is it good or bad karma when you take revenge into your own hands? There were rumors going around that he wants me dead now. He isnt one of those little harmless guys, hes pretty powerful but I had to take my revenge, should I be worried?

If not, then why does "God exists but I don't believe it" sound contradictory?

In all the writing books I have, it says to determine what your main character wants. As I try to analyze books that I've read, I'm having a hard time determining what the character wants so that I can see how this affects the plot exactly and at what point that desire shows up in the book...

So if you have read any of these books, could you tell me what you think is the real desire of the main character?

Twilight
(I see Bella's first desire, as - fitting in, or just surviving something she feels she has to do, but doesn't really want to do. But she ends up on a totally different journey. Eventually, she wants Edward and later, wants to become a vampire. So which one is "what the main character wants?")

Harry Potter (Use Book 1)

Fablehaven

Eragon

Dracula

Secondary Question -- Does the main character need to know what it is they want at the beginning of the book, or is that something that comes about with the presentation of events?

Alisdair had entered a contract to purchase a valuable painting. when he arrived at the antique dealer's premises, he was informed by the sales assistant that his employer - the antiques dealer -changed his mind about selling the painting to him because he had received a better offer from a prospective buyer in the United States

I'm painting a border of my canvas with acrylics. I decided to use a wood grain texture, but I'm not sure how to do that. Can someone please help me? I'm new to acrylics and I really do not want to mess this up.

I have had my moms gemeinhardt (about twenty years old) and recently it's been giving me loads of problems and right now it's away getting fixed.(if it can be)
I have played the flute for about six years and I am pretty decent and just need a flute to get me through high school and possibly to pass on to MY daughter (...well thats if it lasts)
I was wondering what is a pretty decent intermediate or student flute not costing more than 500$ ( I just recently got a gemeinhardt 4psh piccolo) preferably gemeinhardt and new.
If this is not possible does anyone have sites of good used flutes?
The flute doesn't have to be gemeinhardt if you think theres a better one of a different company.
and just ask if you need more info.

It may be a weapo cuz it looks like a huge bullet. If you know exactly what this is, then let me know please. Thanks!
