Portrait

Such a lovely presence, soft to the touch,
scent of a flower, Acaena and Pyrus.
A beautiful sight those are to behold, but unequaled to your beauty, for that we know.
A tower of angels do you command, creatures of light,
Unmatched when you stand.
Their preying eyes are full of deceit, jealous being, One day they'll drown through God's feat.

A ruby Cardinal flies, stalking your steps,
it tries to learn, see what's so perfect,
For heavenly creature is what you are, accidentally dropped from that white star.

A smile is worth all a Kings gold, a flawless Jewel it is to behold,
it shines and inspires upwards bright, demolishes darkness with a sight.
Bestow goodness to out hearts, your a perfect creature from a world of art.

As people try to be more efficient and productive, life slips away and they spend their lives working for money, materialism, and technology. What is the point? Time slips by and you have wasted your life in a modern society without a soul or conscience. Are people that dumb that they don't realize their life would be more wholesome with less stuff and more human relationships?

Movies nowadays just show violence and sex. Cars fill the streets and everyone is in a hurry. 99% of people spend their lives working themselves to death just to survive. We pollute everything and destroy nature. Cities are horrible to live in due to smog and sound pollution. We are alienated from each other and we become selfish brats. We are so overpopulated people live in shanty towns and even the rich eat genetically modified food that gives them cancer. Democracy is a veil to fool people (just look at the 'great' USA).We are brainwashed by the media and we have fools govern us.

Why modernize?
What for?

Heres the issue: there is a theatre teacher that has been at our school for years, and now there is a new teacher. He has just cast a play w/ 20ish roles. The old theatre teacher did a musical earlier this year (i.e. auditions were last year). I was cast as the lead role. But this time i didnt get a part and niether did my friend...so we are planning to put on another production with the old teachers help. The issue is how do we convince the teacher to help us w/ out the new guy getting mad and thinking we are competing w/ him? BTW, we are just trying to give those who have true talent another chance because out of 70 tryouts, 2 advanced theatre students made the cast. and there are 60ish advanced students in all. He only picked kids from his classes.

If you emailed a talent agency your photos, and they are interested in representing you, and you live in San Jose, Ca, and you need to go down to Los Angeles, do they pay for your transportation and sheltering, or do you have to do that on your own?

also, what fees do you have to pay the talent agency, or anything to be an actor?

What prevents anyone from doing anything if there is no "law"of retribution. Don't say law enforcement because powerful people (like presidents and kings) are not effected by local or state police.

I've been working on a large pencil portrait..and my younger sister got a spot of juice (..I think it's juice) on it. I've tried using an eraser, and I'm afraid to ruin the picture by scratching at it..is there a way to safely remove this without ruining the picture?

I'm making a fanfiction of the book Twilight, and I just started. I would appreciate advice and tips.

Please rate the beginning (so far) on a scale of one to ten :)

Comments/Criticism appreciated!

“Really, Charlie,” I struggled to hide my impatience, “OK, Dad. I honestly think I can handle picking up a few things at a small town grocery store.”

This was getting annoying; only would Charlie, the chief officer in this undersized water Hell hole, worry about his daughter in a grocery store that somehow managed to profit enough money out of the tiny population to stay open.

“Dad, its Forks, for God’s sakes. I walked… Yes… No… Okay, Char- I mean Dad. I’ll be home by six.” I snapped the phone shut, cutting off his new string of lectures.

My watch struck 4:23.

So I have to admit, I was being a little too harsh on Charlie. It was only my first (full) day in Forks and he was trying so hard to get me settled in and comfortable. As if that wasn’t enough stress -

What is that like. What could you do. What did the ship smell like. Was it sanitary. Was it comfortable. What is like a cruise. Were there bad people. What food was there. Was there bathrooms. Was there beds. Im really talking about the early ships that came to Ellis island over 100 years ago.

I know there are Stage Plays which require nudity and simulative sex on the stage.
Are there any stage plays where it is necessary to perform oral sex and sexual intercourse on the stage?
