I'm 15 years old and I would do anything to be on stage, but I have no idea where to even begin. I'm most passionate about historical plays, especially Shakespeare. I pretend I'm Juliet whenever I'm alone and I know most of her lines by heart (that's another thing, I'm very shy, though I KNOW I could play Juliet very well). I don't go to school (I'm homeschooled) but I might be going next semester, I've heard that highschools put on plays? I'm interested in doing historical plays, I ADORE the Renaissance... but I don't think the highschools around here do those sorts, they do modern plays
I DO NOT plan to pursue this as a career, I don't care if I never make a cent from it, I just really want to act (I'm not too big on being in movies like most..a live, passionate play is my idea of perfection)
I want to be Juliet. problem is, I have absolutely no idea where to begin, and the fact that I'm very shy doesn't help either. Any help is appreciated--I see this question is asked 1000 times

I have only read the Harry Potter series until the 4th book and recently just saw the movie (again).
I was just wondering do the likes of Fleur Delacour and Viktor Krum ever make a return?
And a signifcant return at that?
Not like a mention or a love letter/interest but does the plot ever truly involve either of them, or anyone from another school for that matter?

When you are on your death bed and there is nothing left. No promise of eternal life will you change your mind? Will thoughts that maybe you were wrong run through your mind. Honest thoughts on the matter please.

Well I did a few photo shoots for abercrombie but now I really want to try acting. Thing is I ask this, because a lot of models I know didn't make it well as actors because they lacked something "unique"

I tried some auditions already but I keep getting told you would do well in soap operas...WHYY!?

India is famous for all the best costliest jewelery in the whole world. Semi precious stones and gold. Yet the British came to India, took away everything we had, the wealth of India...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koh-i-Noor

http://www.diamondtutorials.com/articles/diamonds.tutorials/71/The_Kohinoor_Diamond.html

Now the Queen wears it on the top of her awful head and they don't even want to return it back!!

Isn't it pathetic, they just robbed the wealth from other countries.

Especially India, the land of riches and wealth.
The world learnt how to adorn jewelery only from India.
Yet the Brits came and robbed most of what we had.

What do you think?

The walls I built of my paper-mâché
Are flaking and crumbling apart.
The gaps and the cracks are spreading much wider-
Revealing my crucified heart.
Here it's displayed, atop a white pedestal...
Once guarded so tightly, now exposing it all...

It once was so young, so vibrant and strong.
Beating the rhythm to a light, wordless song.
Pumping out happiness, sucking out pain,
Making my blunders seem more like a gain.

It started to falter, often skipping a beat,
But the rhythm continued as though on repeat.
Overexertion was crucial, too much stress perhaps,
Causing the heart to pump madly until it collapsed.

'Twas put on display, in an upright position,
To be seen as a model of perfect cognition.
Nails held it steady, the spot-light was bright,
Causing the mass to heat and ignite.

I took my emotions, thoughts, aspirations,
Mixed them together to a paste combination.
This became a tomb for my heart on display,
So that quietly...solitary...it could decay.

I have bought a bunch of expensive "Georgian" brand oil paints at a low price but it still ended up expensive for my budget, because of my inexperience and a busy schedule, I wont be able to use them for a while,
1)can they just sit there for a long time?

2)how long?

3)will time effect them at all if they are sealed in their original tubes the whole time, even a little bit?

If my knowledge of philosophy is darn thin, does that mean I am ignorant. I took a short online quiz about philosophy http://www.tuitionplaza.com/tutoring/question.asp?GID=23&FID=0&dbqp=25175 but got it all wrong. So am I stupid? If you know philosophy, does that mean you are smart?

I work with a canon eos 1d mark I (it's old I know but it's not in my hands to change it I have to work with it) and my pictures come out unfocused or not well focused. I've also had trouble focusing on still subjects(!!!)with its autofocus function. When I turn it on manual things are a little better but still the pictures aren't as good as they used to be!!! I'm looking at the manual right now to see if I'm doing sth wrong but I also wanna know if there's a chance that sth might be wrong with the camera....

Iraq seems to be coming into alignment with the initial policy and procedures employed/deployed into that arena. This example is a great one for explaining what that saying means and asking if a valid case can be made for this case study in particular.

the mental causation problem, one that has been around for a while asks how can a mental activity cause a physical activity? many philosophers are discontent with a physicalistic solution because mental life is not reducible into physicalistic terms and concepts.
however arent the mental processes that bring about action physical themselves (electrical impulses, neurotransmitters)? or does the problem arise from the step before these mental processes begin? or is it the reasons, decisions, and causes that cannot be given physical attributes to?
