Where in their past did this develop and why didn't it spread? Are Runes ruled out because they were more prevalent than in just Ancient Britian?

This is going to be our high school musical this year. I have some concerns. I don't know what part to try out for... I have some questions for those who know about it or have done it previously. All I know is that our version is more like the movie with Dick van Dike. DOES THE PERSON WHO PLAYS KIM HAVE TO BE A SOPRANO? How high are the songs with her? DOES ROSE HAVE TO BE AN ALTO? If you had to describe the person best suited for Kim, Rose and the Mother (eg. experience and talent) what would you want? My strength that NO one in our music department has is that I am a strong actress and I have good reactions and faces. Don't get me wrong- I am a great singer too- I have won awards as the choir member of the year. I don't know the musical too well- just saw the movie- and i feel that i need to know more about the what it takes to play the lead girl roles. SO my main question is WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE KIM, ROSE OR THE MOM. or any other part that u may suggest.

someone told me once, you can tell a lot about someone's character ( at least make some inductive reasoning about it ) by knowing which book they liked best in high school and which they hated most.

for me 1984 was my favorite, on golden pond was my least favorite. how about you all? does it describe you in any way?

Christmas Snow Day

I vaugly remember the day we met,
so long ago it was.

With snow everywhere, you slipped and fell,
and pulled me down to you.

We lay there laughing heartily,
and attempted t get up.

And when we did, we smiled and played,
and then sang some christmas songs.

Then running home, we left our prints,
in the beautiful snow covered field.

We lit a fire and laughed some more,
and opened all our gifts.

Though not many did we find,
we joyfully thanked each other.

For meeting each other was definantly,
the best gift that we received.

...it was written for a couple of people,, and has referance to one.. lol. Merry Christmas everyone!!

The subtle art of trolling is almost as old as the Internets themselves, if you are new to the Internet and unfamilliar with trolling then I'll give you a quick guide.
Troll is a name for both people who post inflamatory messages on open forums, and the inflamatory messages themselves. Usually posting or provoking flamebait (posts aimed at getting strongest replies), the troll often pretends to strongly support a view he/she actually opposes or is indifferent to, just to cause debate.
Trolls argue that trolling is fun, it weeds out newbies and idiots in a forum and promotes healthy (albeit chaotic) discussion. Trolling a group is a good way to find information on a subject, for example if you didn't know whether to buy an iPod or a Zune, you could troll about how great iPods are and sift through the flames to find the genuine pros and cons spouted by experts on both sides.
Is it wrong to use people this way, or is it the correct way to use the Internet? Is it an art form or a nuisance?

Personally I really think Will Smith iz way better, as you can see on the big screen he has portrayed many different characters and emotions, he's my inspiration, but Denzel seems to play the same role, and acting the same way, he bores me.....

I have a book of fiction and suddenly realized that the name Godzilla could be copyright/trademarked preventing me using it without permission even though I am using it as a name for an animal. It is even in the dictionary with a description of the characteristics, not the movie character. Any lawyers out there to help me with this please?!
Many Thanks!
