I am in trouble finding a good title for a story of mine. It is about dreams, nightmares and computers, somewhat influenced by Ray Bradbury stories and Starcraft.

Preferably background info, like where he went to school. I know who he's married to, how he lives in two places at once, and the fact that he's a vegetarian and never wears jeans... but I'm looking for more details, mainly about his childhood. If you could send me the URL link, as well as the information, that'd be great, thanks!

I have an idea what the seventh horcrux might be, based on J.K. Rowling's habit of mentioning something apparently unimportant on passing that then turns out to be something very important. I'm curious to know other people's ideas. I will tell you what I think it might be when I choose best answer. Best answer doesn't necessarily have to name the object I'm thinking of. In fact, I am curious to see if it might be something else I haven't thought of.
The horcruxes we know about are:
1. OK, one is in Voldemort
2. The ring (destroyed)
3. The diary (destroyed)
4. The locket (at Grimauld Place)
5. Nagini, Voldie's snake
6. Hufflepuff's cup
7. ? - something belonging to one of the founders of Hogwarts

Please do not say Harry! Dumbledore says in HBP that it is risky to make a living being a horcrux, though he thinks Nagini is one. So it seems definitely unlikely that Voldemort would make Harry a horcrux!!

Wanna play?? :o)

Zara trudged through the aisles of the DIY shop. It was a sad fact that this was the only place she could let out her worries. Annie was by the counter, straightening her uniform- a bright green apron and trackies. Smiling, she put her arm around Zara when she saw her.
"So Zee ...what stresses does this week at school bring?" she grinned, running her fingers through her short, multicoloured spiky hair. "Them cheerleaders bothering you again?"
"Well they always do Annie! I'm such a wannabe it's scary- I even tried out for the cheerleading team and entered the Gothic Art competition!" she moaned.
"God Annie, will I ever fit it?"
"Sure you will kid, so did you get anywhere?" she replied. Zara raised her eyebrows and then leaned on Annie's shoulder. "Aw, well I never used to fit it at school and I'm getting off okay!"
Zara stared intently at her friend. She sure was beautiful. And so...different. She wasn't cheerleader beautiful. She had punky, short and very colourful hair with a perfect nose and mouth. Annie Jo would always wear so many weird and wacky but wonderful earrings and nose studs, it was impossible to call her boring.
"Why are you staring at me, kid?" Annie laughed, then going to check her watch. "What time do you have to be home by?"
"Seven. Ma's preparing dinner. She says you can come."
"Thanks, I accept the invitation."
Annie Jo grabbed Zara's hand and dragged her to the paint aisles.
"Pick two colours to represent your personality!" Annie ordered, her eyes glittering.
"Ummm, pink and black- why?"
Annie swung on a metal bar and landed deftly on the second shelf.
"Let's see...pink..." she whispered to herself. Finally she picked up the most deep, shocking pink and plucked a can of black off the opposite shelf.
She jumped down and handed both the cans to Zara.
"What are these?" she asked, puzzled.
"These my dear are paint cans!"
"Well duh, I know that but what for?"
Annie Jo stroked the cans.
"Ok, tomorrow I'll be round yours for lunch at dinner okay?" she said. "And then we'll get to work!"
"Doing what?"
"Oh you'll see!"
Linking arms, Annie walked out the store.
"You know, when I was your age my refuge used to be my bedroom. It practically saved my life. I remember spending all my money on ten different coloured paint cans and having a laugh just splashing them around. I tie-dyed all my bedclothes and made multicoloured-dye rugs and shawls to hang on my walls- but consider yours on the house. I get thirty cans free every year!" Annie explained. "I was weird for a twelve year old Indian girl. But that was the way I liked it."
"Thanks. Well, do you still go to that room?" Zara asked.
"Sure, you ever wondered what lies on the third floor of our house?" Annie smiled.
"Yeah, sure I have but I would've thought that was some storing area."
"You would've thought wrong."
"So do you have to get back to work?" Zara asked, brushing through her thick black hair.
"Nope, let's got to yours."

I have Ray Manzarek's book "Light My Fire: My Life with the Doors" and I think it's great. I've tried reading other autobiographies and was bored by them. Drew Barrymore's "Little Girl Lost" sticks out in my mind as being boring. Can anyone suggest an entertaining celebrity autobiography to read? I like the stories where people start off not having much and make it big. There's so many to choose from. I'm open to suggestions.

Childrens picture book that i am desperate to find!! please Help!!

I was in primary school when I had a book that I loved, I am pretty sure that it had no words but it was beautifully illustated. The main character was a smart gentleman who wore a bowler hat, (not Mr Benn) and he went for a walk in the park, He walked past some railings and in the background there was alwasy something wrong, like an apple on the wall or a chimney on upside down and I think it finished off with him sat on a bench in the park. I really can't remember what it was called and please please help me as I want to buy it for my baby cousin. Thanks in advance.

I think that we can agree with MarkTwain, 'cause the most of classic literature isn't very interesting. What would you say?

How did the creature first demonstrate ethical behavior from his hovel?

Why does the creature approach the father first? How does the father respond?

How has the creature come to regard himself?

What are we to take from this story about the importance of physical beauty? How does it compare with the lessons your Christian faith has taught you about beauty?
