About 2 years ago in college there was this girl (Amy), she was so so very beautiful but I didnt get chance to ask her out and ever since Ive carried that guilt with me like a 100 ton medallion. My life is kinda messed up right now and I haven’t got a gf and I havent seen Amy about for about 2 yrs. How can I get over her? I love her but Ive lost her. Every time I think about her I feel very depressed that Im not with her and I knew she liked me. Every time I here songs such as The killers - This river is wild I feel like crying.

Though both man and monster are seeking revenge for violence committed against them, Kainan leads the alliance to kill the Moorwen by fusing his advanced technology with the Viking’s Iron Age weaponry.
Can you rec. me a few (or many) fantasy-romance books?
For example, things like Diana Gabaldon’s "Outlander" series, or Maggie Shayne’s "Prince of Twilight".
Any good, readable (meaning NO Twilight!) romance-fantasy books will do.
Thanks!
I don’t really read fantasy-romance but the Vampire Diaries is good:) Also, the House of Night series. It’s about vampires…it’s not really romance but there is defiantly romance in it though out the six books:)

Romance isn’t always the most major theme but i recommend Wicked lovely by melissa marr
SiriusisbetterthanEdward | Jan 15, 2010
House Of Night!!! They are fantasy, about Vampyres, and there is lots of romance, and drama!
Suh-weet | Jan 15, 2010
Like the answerer above (below?) me said, "Wicked Lovely" by Melissa Marr. It isn’t very romantic all the way, but I loved it and I think that it’d satisfy you.
Harry Potter comes next, and (although I don’t recommend it) you can skip to the 6th book cause there’s tons of romance in that one. We all know who the author is, don’t we?
That’s it, I don’t really read romantic stories. Lol. Sorry~~
ItachiSaysHI | Jan 15, 2010
Okay this is for teens but it is a romance, action, kind of thing and its called "Maximum Ride".

Seven Years in Tibet, the movie…?
I saw the movie Seven Years in Tibet the other day. Is it a true story? If so that is pretty amazing. Thanks
Yes a very real story
Seven Years in Tibet is a 1997 film based on the book of the same name written by Austrian mountaineer and onetime SS Nazi Heinrich Harrer based on his experiences in Tibet between 1944 and 1951 during the Second World War, the interim period, and the Chinese People’s Liberation Army moving into Tibet in 1950.
Seven Years in Tibet tells the story of how Austrians Heinrich Harrer and Peter Aufschnaiter, having been imprisoned by the British while mountaineering in the north of India at the beginning of World War II in 1939, eventually escape across the border into Tibet in 1944 and cross the treacherous high plateau. There in Tibet, after initially being ordered to return to India, they are welcomed at Lhasa and become acquainted with an unfamiliar way of life. Harrer is introduced to the Dalai Lama, who is still a boy, and he becomes a tutor and then close friend to the young spiritual leader during his time in Lhasa. Harrer and Aufschnaiter remain in the country until the Chinese invasion in 1950.
Harrer and the Dalai Lama to this day remain in contact

Plot: As the title would suggest, it follows the travels of the legendary sword Excalibur through Arthurian myth, from the violent, powerful hands of Uther Pendragon, to a long-years’ rest in the stone to being redrawn by Uther’s son Arthur, who uses it to defeat the evil invaders and establish the great court of Camelot and the great Knights of the Round Table. It is there in Arthur’s glory years and in his decline, brought on by the love affair between his wife Guenevere and best friend and best knight Sir Lancelot, the Holy Grail Quest which produces many casualties among the knights, and the arrival of Mordred, the son Arthur had by his evil half-sister, the sorceress Morgana. Through it all, the magician Merlin watches over everything, always ready to throw in a Charm of Making when it’s called for.
Looking for an excalibur/kingarthur movie?
I believe… not for positive that it was Disney but I haven’t found it. There was a live action movie, where a kid found excalibur or the sword in the stone…I don’t have many details I think merlin lived in a tree or forest and I remember the boy liked some girl and there was a birthday party or something and the kid hid the sword under his bed. Its not the animated sword and the stone… that is the only thing that keeps popping up when I am searching for it. I can’t remember any big plots or details about the movie other than something about "if you do this you’ll lose excalibur" The kid was kind of an outcast/unpopular…liked the cute girl… found the sword in the stone…I remember vaguely a scene where he was on his bed swinging it…and then hid it under his bed…And came back and it was gone…idk. Hopefully someone can help me so im not racking my brain anymore…or tell me I was dreaming the whole thing lol.
Perhaps it is "Kids of the Round Table"?
From IMDB: Eleven-year-old Alex and his fellow homemade heroes are having a backyard blast. Battles rage, knights fight and damsels distress in a cardboard Camelot of dirt-bike steeds, aluminum foil sabres and plastic armor. The summer fun and fantasy soon become a marvelous, mystical reality with the touch of a sword. Malcolm McDowell, Michael Ironside and bright newcomer Johnny Morina star in a modern-day adventure filled with medieval magic. One fateful afternoon, Alex comes across a sword sunk in stone - King Arthur’s legendary Excalibur! The sword holds untold powers of strength, magic and wisdom. With one motion, Alex frees the sword, Merlin the Magician appears, and Alex discovers the awesome power he’d always dreamed about. But to misuse Excalibur is to lose Excalibur… as Alex soon discovers. Now with Merlin vanished, Alex must prove himself worthy of the sword to bring back the magic. He’d better act fast - his friends need his power now more than ever!
Plot: Holmes is hired by Roland Carstairs to prevent the theft of the Star of Rhodesia, an enormous diamond owned by Carstairs’ mother, Lady Margaret.

ok this is going to be long?
OK. I’m a 14 year old girl who loves happiness, excitement and many other emotions that i know it’s part of everyone’s life. I love getting mad, and getting sad. I love the fact that i have friends and family. I love the fact that i have a great imagination. I love the fact that i love all types of music and the fact that i love having alone times and talking through my feelings about a special person. I love the fact that i can get excited over something so little. I love the fact that i am me. But all that fell apart on December 26, 2009. That was the time i woke up at 4 something in the morning to something that i thought was a horrible experience. Now you might think this is stupid but to me it was something that i had to get over quick. I woke up that morning and heard my heater turn on, instantly i thought there was a ghost in my home. I was so terrified but the terror didn’t get to me until later that day. After that all my emotions felt like they we’re gone and there was only one feeling left and lurkes in the pit of my stomach and through my body. This feeling is very hard to explain but it makes me want to cry and it gives me intense fear, that anywhere i look i feel like i’m seeing something. It makes me shake intensly i can’t sleep at night but i feel sleepy at day, i can’t eat i can’t use my laptop or listen to my ipod or even talk to my friends or family, i felt TERRIBLE.So 3 days later i told my mom and she said that she turned on the heater alittle earlier and it was just a fault. After she told me that i felt like 1 million pounds have been lifted off my shoulders. I felt better about a day, then the feeling came back! But this time i prefered my house being hunted that me having the feeling because i can get away from a haunted house. I cried most of the time, anywhere my mom goes i must follow. I thought dying is the best way. A few weeks later it was a day before school and two days before that i felt happy again, but then the feeling kinda came back because i thought school! I thought what if i go to school and this horrid feelings come back, what would i do? Then a week of school past and i felt kinda ok again. And now it’s not as much as before. I can eat, sleep, watch TV, use my laptop, talk to my friends and laugh. But i still have some of left inside me but it’s not intense. It comes and go, but i sometimes barely feel it and i ignore it, but you can see that i’m suffering. Do you think it’s going away gradually and eventually it would disappear forever?
PS: I have a crush now, and going to school to see my friends and my crush makes me feel soo much better.
it sounds like it could be anxiety. I am paranoid about ghosts and such too. If it doesn’t get better I would see a doctor because they can help you sort through everything

Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005)
IMDB rating: 8.00
Plot: It’s ‘vege-mania’ in Wallace and Gromit’s neighborhood, and our two enterprising chums are cashing in with their humane pest-control outfit, “Anti-Pesto.” With only days to go before the annual Giant Vegetable Competition, business is booming, but Wallace & Gromit are finding out that running a “humane” pest control outfit has its drawbacks as their West Wallaby Street home fills to the brim with captive rabbits. Suddenly, a huge, mysterious, veg-ravaging “beast” begins attacking the town’s sacred vegetable plots at night, and the competition hostess, Lady Tottington, commissions Anti-Pesto to catch it and save the day. Lying in wait, however, is Lady Tottington’s snobby suitor, Victor Quartermaine, who’d rather shoot the beast and secure the position of local hero-not to mention Lady Tottingon’s hand in marriage. With the fate of the competition in the balance, Lady Tottington is eventually forced to allow Victor to hunt down the vegetable chomping marauder. Little does she know that Victor’s real intent could have dire consequences for her …and our two heroes.
"Cheese, Gromit, cheese!" sound clip?
Anyone know where i can find the sound clip from Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit that says "Cheese, Gromit, cheese!"? I’ve looked on the internetz, and there’s nothing! Alternatively, does anyone actually have the sound clip?
Yeah, I’ve tried youtube, but all I could find was a bunch of crappy imitations

Do the identity struggles of the minority coincide with those of the majority?
Please answer the original question if reading this piece isn’t worth an arm and a leg.
———————-
As a minority, I reason that those who make up the majority [race] have a larger base of ‘roles’ they are able to identify with that make the society I find myself in go round.
The ability to realize those roles is another (albeit enduring, universal) matter…
…I work with the kinda folks people who drive Mercedes call ‘trash.’
As a minority, the pleasure is mine in ‘naturally’ shaping the impact of my role–as a Filipino–in uncharted territory.
However, those whom are represented in popular media–mostly Whites and Blacks–posit demands on the corresponding audience that ’seems’ unnatural, contrived, or sold.
That the degree of how ‘formal’ one is with the guidelines ’sold’ that promise the evolutionary reward of food, sex, or shelter (a place to lay your head without the threat of death is definitely an evolutionary advantage) is a trivial, almost infantile scale of measure continually preached since Sunday school as a kid…[innovation lies in informality]
*’Seem’ is subjective, I know, but I understand that American marketing strategies and production guidelines have been manipulated by psychologists for a while, even mandated by the Government…
…whereas my identity struggle (and the fruit of those successes) is natural as a minority, is the identity struggle with ’sold’ culture among those caught in the majority an equally analogous struggle?
—-
My new friends in Ohio since moving here from Miami happen to be hippies and Nam vets (I’m a part-time home health aide).
Malcolm X calls the hippie a type of White man more negro than negroes…
I’ve never met hippies before moving here but we vibe…if you’ve ever been in a hippie’s home, they make their homes like an island that hasn’t sunken into American branding…as much as I would like to live like I had been among other island people, hippie’s and African Americans are like a different kinda island people but with no water around ‘em.
…although talking about politics and local news is almost always a topic of conversation, remember to remind another that the news, too, is sold. Understanding this will almost certainly remind an otherwise pleasant hippie to shut it (because as much as I try to naturally shape my identity in this martian world, hippies and friends try to stay afloat the unnatural-ness of corporate America).
Plot: It is the year 35 of the Vulgar Era. The Emperor Tiberius is troubled by strange phenomena, an earthquake and the sky turning black as an eclipse. His astrologers give him fair warning: their omens indicate that the world is in the throes of a great upheaval and that old gods have been annihilated. A new kingdom is about to rise in the East. The Emperor calls Tito Valerio Tauro, the most prominent investigator in Rome, back from his exile. He was ostracized years earlier because he had discovered too much regarding the death of the great Emperor Augustus, the predecessor of Tiberius. Tiberius entrusts Tauro with a mission that will require all his talent: should he conduct it successfully, his good name will be completely restored. He must discover the truth regarding the death sentence of a poor Judean rabbi. His name is Jesus of Nasareth and they say he has resurrected from the dead. Tiberius is convinced that it has something to do with the prophecies and the celestial omens that shook the world some months earlier. Tauro is a septic and the only thing he believes in is reason, but a series of mysteries that will put his intelligence to the test awaits him in Judea. Nothing is as it seems in Jerusalem. Governor Pilate is an ambiguous man, both discredited and treacherous, who weaves his way among the opposing Pharisee and Zealot factions. During his inquiry, Tauro comes face-to-face with individuals he has never met before: Saul of Tarsus, a valiant defender of Mosaic tradition and an unshakable prosecutor of Christians; the mysterious and nearly insane Judas of Iscariot, who is presumably one of the disciples of Jesus of Nasareth; and the alleged leader of the Christians, a poor fisherman named Shimon Peter. They are humble and powerful men, belonging to one faction or the other, but who share one obsession: an idea of faith that the Roman eyes of Tauro seems to be simply incomprehensible and quite dangerous. He withstands this idea with all his might. He believes that Jesus is only a quack, some kind of impostor and his presumed resurrection must be a public hoax staged in order to exploit the credulousness of the poor lot, the first to be converted to the Christian sect, the followers of Jesus, nearly all of them belonging to the lowest social levels of society: fishermen, farmers, even slaves - all of them treated as free men. And the same holds true, more surprisingly yet, for women - equal to men in the eyes of the Christian God. One of these women who believe in Jesus will finally offer Tauro the key to understanding the mystery of Jesus of Nasareth’s death and conclude the mission that the Emperor has entrusted him with. Her name is Tabitha. She is not yet twenty years old and she will unveil the mystery of love to the cleverest and most disenchanted Roman investigator.

Why the sudden move from the government stating that Fonseka has never voted when the EC already stated he was?
2008 polls lists?

Interesting changes in military structure has already been duly noted today but the reality is that Rajapaksa still has not even loosened up on media restrictions, has not implemented the 17 th amendment, has not held any type of impartial or independent inquiry as to the killing of buddhist priest post elections, has not accounted for white van abductions pre and post elections, has not availed his persecution of opposition and has placed the person that was in charge of operstions at Vanni in those final days under Gothabaya Rajapaksa as potential prosecutor of Fonseka.

We are utterly tired of Indian PR and Publicity stunts in lieu of actions to curtail terrorist actions eminating from their shores. We are not interested in a secopnd rate Indian Railway system either. There is no rail link between Sri Lanka and Nepal and if one existed it would come through a modern and profecient service such as available at other neighbouring countries. I believe that the Obama administration will respond effectively to taday’s regional issue at China and India will again find itself in a position of explaining its endless series of plots and subplots against neighbouring nations.

Plot: WAVERIDERS is the previously untold story of the unlikely Irish roots of the worldwide surfing phenomenon and today’s pioneers of Irish big wave surfing. The story unfolds via the inspirational and ultimately tragic history of Irish/Hawaiian legendary waterman, George Freeth. Freeth, son of an Irishman, was responsible for the rebirth of this sport of Hawaiian kings in the early twentieth century. With its distinguished cast of world-renowned Irish, British and Irish/American surfers WAVERIDERS then journeys full-circle from Hawaii to California and back to Irish shores following Freeth’s wave of influence. This journey reaches a spectacular climax when the surfers conquer the biggest swell ever to have been ridden in Ireland catching monster waves of over fifty feet.
