I'm curious how much folks have paid for their copies of "A Christmas Carol."

A few years ago someone in my town had donated a lot of brand new Readers Digest editions of some classic literature. Titles included "Call of the Wild" by Jack London, "A Christmas Carol and Other Stories" by Charles Dickens, and "The Sea Wolf" by Jack London. Normally the books I purchase at the library are books their getting rid of for what ever the reason or their used books people brought in for the library's annual book sale that didn't sale at that time. So I was a little shocked to find these very nicely bound books in brand new condition. I was even more shocked because they were charging just three dollars for them. Needless to say, I grabbed a copy of "A Christmas Carol and Other Stories" as I wanted "A Christmas Carol. The looks of the book even now, I dare say I'd be willing to pay thirty dollars or more for it.

How much have you paid for your "A Christmas Carol?"

my heart is cold and angry
and my life is all alone
my friends are falling before me
and my career is on its own

my past is now the present
my future gone up in smoke
i have no life to live
and my life is just a joke

my death is what i fear
wait my fear is not my death
my fear is dying slowly
and the coffin in which i rest

for my first love i have lost
and my strength is what i need
for if i fall in love again
i pray my soul to bleed

you seriously seem to know alot about this industry. i'd really like your advice on something. see, i'm 14, i'm doing very well at school, i have a knack for persuading people and impressing, i play in a represeentative basketball club [AAU team in america really similar] and i totally love the performing arts. i'm really new though. i've
been doing drama for less than a year and fluked my way into this high-profiled agency just because of my social skills. my friends don't know about my drama, and all the mean cocky classmates in drama are nice to me now. i'm staying in new york for a month and ten days this summer [winter for americans] and am thinking of visiting plays, going sightseeing, meeting family and so on. when i get back i'm going to attend a lineup of auditions. I'm not pursuing acting solely, i know how hard it is. but i love it. i'd just like to know if there was any chance you'd be in new york over the summer? [winter] if so, look me up, or just reply to this question

I was wondering if there is a complete biography on the WWI German military figure Paul Emil von Lettow-Vorbeck in circulation? He was a commander, I believe, in the East African front. If anyone knows, could you please give me the name, author and a place I could buy it? Thank you!

1. school for scandel
2. the crucible
3. taming of the shrew

The hour is upon us
Show us beauty and remorse
Let the holidays heal our wounds unmended
And the love heal our hearts untouched
May our mercy be the gifts we lay
From you to me let us pray
Let our secret thoughts unheard be heard
And the beauty of our world although wounded shine
Into your heart and to mine
Let our love heal one another
Let our thought change the world
As we gather round the big tree
All you strangers who know
Hear the sidewalk angles sing
Let us hear them now more then ever
Let the songs heal our souls
As our minds touched with love shine
Let us pray for one another
Let these old wounds heal
Let the earths beauty once unseen be seen
And let our minds be open to new things
Happy holidays.

I realize that a lot of people already asked, what would you ask God? This time, we're gonna look at things from the other side.

Be careful of what you ask, though. You might not like what you hear

“The Beginning”

Losing you would mean taking that one chance
I went out on that one limb and went for the dance.
Thinking everything was perfect, nothing was wrong.
When I was with you, I never felt so strong.

Without you by my side, without you here
Not loving you anymore is my biggest fear.
Only wanting me when no one is around
When we are with a crowd, you don’t make a sound.

This may not mean a goodbye for now,
But as for the moment, I am down.
Everyone has bumps in their life.
That doesn’t mean it gets twisted like a knife.

And Then Things Changed…

Knowing better, I am going to open up this one last time.
Unlike before, I will not fall for you like a drop of a dime.
Being with you, it is like nothing before, I can’t forget.
Although you might hurt me, I will never regret.

The times we have spent together and the ones to come
I don’t know where my feelings for you came from.
Maybe nothing is really wrong and you do love me.
Only the future will tell

Hey, I'm looking for scenes/plays with at least 3 people. I don't necessarily want realism-it's for a very important showcase, and I want to do both ends of the comedy/drama spectrum, and I would LOVE to show off my skills as a character actor. If you know of a play with a genie, witch, etc, I think that'd be really fun, as would something like a cocaine addict or a mentally handicapped person. (like Beth in Samuel Sheppard's A Lie of the Mind (there are no 3 person scenes with her)

so I would really appreciate any help if you have any ideas.

A Democrat and Republican falling in love?

Now be honest here, what do you think of a romance/comedy novel of people of two different political parties actually dating? lol

The novel would be comical. Just think about it, the couple walk to work hand in hand, give each other a big passionate kiss and wish each other a good day before walking off in opposite directions of Congress, all while their fellow party members watch in "umm..okay" expressions. lol

What do you think? Would you read such a story? would a politically themed Romeo and Juliet be entertaining to you?

Just a note: No I don't actually plan to write such a story, it's just a funny idea that came to my head today lol. thought I'd hear what you had to say.

A Few Trillion Diamonds


Enter into my glory, saith the Lord
Sometimes the day is so beautiful
Someone could die
The sunlight reflects off the water
Like a few trillion diamonds
The sparkling sea of glass

The earth is mine, saith the Lord
As blue sky and white clouds
Stretch out as far as the eye can see
Some of those clouds
Must be from heaven

My soul longs to be a part of that creation
That God willed, planned from the first
How beautiful the songs of the earth
When creature and creation
Sing the praises of the Lord

My heart beats in sadness
Longing to put off corruption
And longing to sing with the sons of God
Surely the Lord call us
I pray that we listen
