For example:

There once was a lord from Nantucket
who turned water to wine in a bucket
on the plus sign, he died
all his followers cried
all because Judas said "F*** it."

~Jason Fenwick

(I know Jesus was not said to be from Nantucket... but hey, it's just a story, after all. Who cares if the "facts" are factual.)

GWTW is one of my favorite novels. I love the character development, storyline, & raw emotion. It's a great book. The film version, while an amazing feat of American cinema, was undoubtedly terrific, but couldn't touch the book.

When first released, I read Scarlett by Alexandra Ripley. The critics panned it. The miniseries was awful. Personally, I kinda liked it. It showed how Scareltt's character changed and evolved through time. While much of the plot was a little weird, I liked how she took Scarlett and built upon Margaret Mitchell's flawed herione.

Now, Rhett Butler's People is out. I am about 1/2 way through it, and I am a little confused. The novel is not a "sequel." Rather, it's a parallel novel. In some ways, I am irritated at how he's monkeying with Margaret MItchell's vision, adding scenes and concepts and taking liberties. While I am enjoying learning about the other people in Rhett's life, there's not much about HIM so far.

Anyone else feel this way?

I got a brand new sketchbook that I'm supposed to use for casual sketching as GCSE practice.
Now I'm not terrible, my sister is a qualified artist and she is amazing but I'm really stuck for ideas.
I drew one picture that blew everyone away but now I'm out of ideas. I draw a lot of eyes but maybe I should start drawing leaves or backgrounds?
What does everyone think?
some tips and ideas please!

a day in the life...


Frozen limbs today
Shaking from winter's shock blast
Stay inside all day


The feel of your thigh
Taught and soft at the same time
Sexy and a dream


Lost again with you
Two hearts beating with desire
Your eyes, no escape


Take me down with you
Nestled between your legs now
I feel your hot fire

Why does love vanish
How can it just disappear
It's time is over


The earth does feel pain
At times she cries for days
With anger comes fire

Fully developed people do not only believe myths they write them. I am still interested in seeing some cave dwelling paintings of dinosaurs. Artists paint what they see and fantasy. Many cave painting show something that looks like a space ship. There are no paintings that show a dinosaur where a size relation can be established.
A fully developed person should be able to come up with something besides a myth when it comes to something as big as a dinosaur. Bones can be put together a lot of ways. They can also be manufactured to gain grants. Like ol' Leaky. The hero of his time. He didn't last as long as Moses has. Darn it.

Most people would perceive commiting suicide as sinful, ethically wrong and cowardly. Although these arguments may seem perfectly valid at first, I must say that I disagree. After all, it is one's right to take his or her own life if one so desires. By preventing that, you would have that person suffer more. Besides, it isn't exactly going to affect the human population, is it?
Some would say it is ethically wrong? How so? After all, what are ethics? Ethics is only ethics as far as we perceive it to be as it is.

So my question is this, do you think it wrong for one to commit suicide? And please give your reasons why it is or isn't wrong. Answers in philosophical context preferably.

Thanks and for the record, no I'm not thinking of doing that.

I will be auditioning for a part in a play. The part is a young, quirky, giggly british woman. I have the accent down - my question is how should I dress? I am wondering what the current fashion is over there? I'm having a hard time finding anything online - not that I have a ton of time to look.
Thanks for any help.
