I'm on my family's laptop right now because the Internet on my computer is not working. I don't know how it started, because I hadn't installed any new programs or went in and tried to change anything. But it started saying that it couldn't connect to the wireless network, which it does...

I don't have any of their CD's yet--a situation which I hope shall be remedied--but they're quite good. I saw them the first time on TV, and they had such beautiful, ethereal voices that I had to listen. I like Irish folk music and they also did some pretty Italian pieces and covers of...

So...the old Randomness! Yay! thread has sunk into the depths of oblivion, and I feel the need to say... ...I could really use some pancakes and blueberry muffins right now.:( And of course, this knowledge has required the starting of a whole new thread! Let's fill it quickly with random...

A friend just got me into this, and I'm loving it. I have the CD's Powerslave and A Matter of Life and Death, and I plan on getting Brave New World next. Anyone else like Iron Maiden? Any suggestions for me?

I dreamt I heard the nightingale sing on the evening air, Of places lost and far away and wonders she’d seen there: Of buildings carved as by God’s hand and stretching to the sky; Of valleys green, and deserts bare, and deep blue waters wide; Of mountain peaks with snowy caps that touch the...

I know. I just posted a similar thread in the movies section... Bascially, I'm curious about the relationship between a master and a slave. I want something that goes into how they feel about one another and the imbalance of power between them. Something deeper than "the evil master...

I know there are some out there, but I wanted to see some things that were more about the relationship between master and slave. Can the two be friends? Can they reach a mutual understanding? Or is the nature of their relationship such that only one gains? I already know I'm weird. I...

I am SO happy! :) (Hence the excessive exclamation marks and whoop for joy in the title of this thread.) Near the beginning of my junior year of high school, I convinced my parents to let me go on a school trip to Europe, nine days in London and Paris, scheduled for June or July of this year...

I have a problem and I don't know what to do about it. For days I'd been hearing scuffling noises in my room, which is getting messy, that sounded like someone was walking over the papers on the floor. These noises always ceased as soon as I turned my head. Naturally, I assumed that it was...

I didn't think I would like this, but I did. Every year just before Christmas, my father takes my brother and I to a movie while my mother wraps presents. I thought we were going to skip it this year, but my dad showed up at my workplace at 6:45 and told me that when I got off, we were going...

Is anyone else unable to wait for Christmas? I love Christmas, but I have never been so anxious for it until this year. Maybe it's because I'm so tired of going to school and I feel like I need a huge break. Maybe I just want the presents. So here is my list. Surprisingly, there weren't...

I am getting bored with the kinds of books I've been reading. I know exactly what kind of book I want to read, but it's rather difficult to come by. In fact, the only series I've read yet that meets the criteria for this kind of book was the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series, and it went...

Okay, there seem to be a despairingly small number of these in the world. Which is sad, because I adore them and wish I could see more. Therefore, I would like some recommendations on fantasy movies that you have seen and enjoyed, or warnings on which ones to steer clear of. I don't mind...

I recently got a touching note from a friend of mine, a seventeen-year-old Mexican exchange student who shares some classes with me. She does not speak English very well, and I help her with her homework and translate for her when she needs me to. The note basically thanked me for everything I...

I was just wondering how many multilingual people we had here, and what languages they speak. I know we have a few members who learned English as a second language. My native language was English, but I speak a little bit of Spanish and English Sign Language. I plan to learn how to speak...

So....I'm back. Betcha thought I'd died, didn't you? Things just got kinda hectic back here in Nowhere, USA, and I hadn't had as much time for the forum. But at any rate, I'm here again, and I'm dying to here if anything interesting has happened since I was gone. I noticed some new faces...

Has anyone else here read Dracula Prince of Many Faces? It's really my first historical non-fiction book, and I'm very impressed by it. It's about the real Dracula, Vlad Tepes, who lived in fifteenth-century Romania. In addition to telling what happened in the life of Dracula, the authors try...

Hi, I would like to read some good books set in the Middle Ages. I like books with romance, but that isn't necessary...I read a lot of war/action books, too. I'm trying to think of books I've read from this era, and this is all I've come up with: Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet Castles...

While I was running down the stairs a few minutes ago, eating a hot dog, it occured to be it is not a good idea to run and eat at the same time, as the increased breathing makes it terribly easy for a piece of hot dog to make its way into your windpipe. Thankfully, after coughing a couple of...

Thank you, GreenKnight, for the wonderful idea that solved my coffin dilemma. After writing the scene, I realized I didn't need to go to the funeral home at all. Everyone, tell me what you think. I put the icon thing on for a few bad words Erin says. Also bear in mind that you have missed...
