I've heard a lot of speculation as to what exactly happened in the end and would love to know what you guys think actually happened. Did he reach another place and the echo he heard was music from where he came from, as is the most intuitive interpretation of what happened. Or, did he actually retur...

It was actually a little boring last I was on there. Plus, its not the prettiest of forums. Totally shallow I know but how long can you stare at something that is pink and yellow?
Pink and yellow? It looks blue and silver to me...

How about pink, yellow, silver, and green?

Mine is a rather lengthy, roundabout, thoroughly boring story. I became crazy about Dune but was waiting to see the miniseries. I tried to glean some info about it from the internet, crashlanded onto a Dune forum, joined it and started looking for other forums. I also discovered the Dancing Lawn (Na...

I would head out to Quebec. Maybe a couple of days in Montreal and then in Quebec City (what they like to call the national capital - humph). Those two cities are incredibly beautiful and just amazing to experience. Of course, there is the usual touristy stuff like the Biodome in Montreal that you c...

Casino Royale ****1/2 Finally got around to seeing this movie. A terrific start and possibly the most beautiful opening titles sequence I ever saw. A clever plot that didn't try to lose the audience with over-complexity, quite witty dialogue (the romantic exchanges did border on corny though), wond...

In response to hive_king: Which is exactly why I think OSC has an element of truth in Peter's speech. Currently, Islam is not lead by Muslims but by Islamists whose fundamentalist ideas are destroying the true meaning of Islam. We see many terrorist acts and crimes committed in the name of Islam by ...

Most dystopia fiction uses the abolishment of feelings as an effective way of controlling the society and maintaing "peace" and order. I think Brave New World degrades feelings of love to the point of being meaningless. In 1984, there is no source of passion in the dreary world. The Giver ...

It took me a while to find this again, but I think it is a powerful speech that Peter gives. No doubt, some of it (if not all) is OSC's opininion on what Islam can become. Is he painting a darker picture than Islam actually is, or does he speak truth? "Islam," said Peter, "has never l...

Calc teacher:

Student: Sir did you cut your hair?
Teacher: No...
Student: Well it looks different.
Teacher: The rate of my hair growing is changing.

my teacher: "Just go find a hot dog stand and go suck on a hot dog."

needless to say, a lengthy silence followed.

Dear you, Have you noticed that I stopped caring? Have you noticed that I am about to stop pretending to care? You're mostly nice but sometimes you really are a pain to sit beside and a horror to know. You are NOT allergic to humidity (but yes, I know you are allergic to everything else), your joint...

I'm Sarah.
I'm from Canada and am in grade 12.
I play the violin and piano and have a habit of daydreaming when I should be stressed out.
I joined pweb in April/May this year (I think) but rejoined in October.

I'm also slightly besotted with Harper.

Ithilien

Woops, I noticed this a little too late.

But as said before, I like A Midsummer Night's Dream the most of the ones I read (Romeo and Juliet, and Macbeth).

Ithilien

Anybody have any input?

Only on English teachers. I have a personal vendetta against the ones in my school.

I thought Macbeth was okay. I thought the forest bit was a little predictable, but the witches were fun.

Ithilien

Mmm, the movie is good. Better than the Midsummer one (despite Christian Bale being in it). But most of my class remained relatively untouched by the romance. We claim to be more practical people and less inclined to kill ourselves for some other person.

Ithilien

No smells right now - just an incredible amount of smoke. What on earth could produce such a haze throughout the house when cooked?! We had to open all the windows and let the midwinter air work on the clouds near our ceiling.

Ithilien

Before, met too, but Midsummer Night's Dream changed my mind about him. But Romeo and Juliet...everyone in my class couldn't stop rolling our eyes at their death. How tragic are today's youth?

Ithilien

Shakespeare can attest to that.

Ithilien

O...M...G. Did someone just mention EQUILIBRIUM?! *hyperventilates in corner* Ok, back on topic. I think the book presents a good question: is sacrificing individuality a good price for the sake of social stability? There are no more wars, no injustice, no human right violations, no crimes, no natur...

Congratulations!!!

Victoria is a gorgeous place! Hope you enjoy yourselves!

Ithilien

Strangely yes! I think its harder to notice it with myself, but I sometimes reread my posts and start to think I sound a lot nastier than I ever intend to be. Mostly, I have noticed it with a good friend of mine. We go to school together and are part of the same forum. When we start passing notes to...

I agree with v-girl: this isn't the most scientific of sci-fi novels. I always wondered how they managed to control stirrings: was it through regulating hormones? So how did sexual reproduction occur with the birth mothers? But I guess this detail is slightly trivial. So far (I've read this book a w...

Dear you,

What are you doing right now?
What are you supposed to be doing right now?

Why not head to North Carolina instead?

Chemistry
English (bleh...)
Discrete Math
Data Management (I heard its a waste of time though)

Me too! I rehearse all dialogue before making a phone call and get paranoid trying to think up responses to anything that might be thrown from the other end.

Ithilien, I actually rather liked the most recent Pride and Prejudice movie and I didn't expect to. I really hated Keira Knightley being cast (though I adore her to death), but I thought she did a fantastic job. The acting is top notch. But what really did it for me is that has to be one of the mos...

this is probably the wierdest, but black lines or dots formed densely together. Not that they scare me, but for some reason I find it totally disgusting. Completely irrational, I know.

Pride and Prejudice (recent version) *** Ugh, I pretty much hated the movie. As a huge fan of the book and previous production, I couldn't warm up to Keira Knightley's portrayal of Elizabeth Bennet. She seemed arguementative and overly serious rather than light and witty. Matthew MacFadyen was prett...

In all the groups I belong or semi-belong to, I'm 'the smart one'. Enough people (some of whom don't know each other) have said to me, "But you're supposed to know everything!" that I'm beginning to think that everyone half-believes it. Not that I dislike being smart or knowing things, bu...

Actually, at the moment I'm in ON, but I hail from BC. Although I really could have said that if I came from any province other than Ontario or Quebec. So there

Heh heh, I love my deduction skills.

I'm supposed to clear the table for dinner. Instead, I am posting on top of it.

Ithilien

hey Ontario might get more money for a change.

Heh heh. Let me guess, BC?
