Is Dating Dead? ...is a headline that has appeared in numerous popular magazines and sociological essays in recent years. If true, then what the heck are paired-up people doing out there at Starbucks, at the Cineplex, dining romantically, strolling arm-in-arm--in other words, pursuing the age-old and instinctive rituals of attraction and courtship? What do we call it now!! Hanging out won't do. It's clumsy...an awkward compounding that will create all kinds of confusing and unmellifluous constructions. Unheard of Books has done the world a great service by creating the solution, a shortened terminology--and much, much more--and that solution is The Art of Hanging. This book refines the vocabulary of the activity-formerly-known as dating, and creates a guide, a handbook for the modern-thinking individual interested in getting out there and Hanging, and doing it righteous. Recipe for The Art of Hanging 1. Take a 1950s dating manual. 2. Replace key terms and phrases with standardized, simplified equivalents from the actual day-to-day usage of a youth culture that hangs rather than dates. 3. Sprinkle in more new lingoisms from the vocabularies of subsequent urban, suburban, and exurban youth subcultures. Add catchphrases, neologisms, niche jargons, and cliches from pop culture, pop psychology, and Madison Avenue. 4. Shake well. The result is an old-fashioned guide to new social lifestyles, filled with in-your-face surprises and unexpected linguistic somersaults.

Could you review the following... it is just the beggining to the story and I want to have others opinions Chapter 1 The sky shown brilliantly blue through the tiny plane window. Riley Eritta stared out, taking in for the first time the beautiful white and blue wonderland the sky held. Though she was 13, it was Riley?s first time flying. Even so, she felt somehow that she belonged in the sky, that it was a part of her and she was a part of it that had been there since the beginning of time. She wished she could fly with out the plane surrounding her, without the noisy people, the walls, the seats, and smell of barf. She wished she was a bird, who could be free, who could fly free. Riley was a foster child, and had been with many different kinds of family. Small ones, large ones, happy ones, and very angry ones where the parents were filing divorce and the children were running away. She had even been with some very kind families who she terribly wished she was still with, but it had always ended the same. Riley couldn?t explain it, but weird things always happened to her, and no one wants a child who could only cause trouble. Riley grimaced, remember the family she had recently left. They ha been wonderful, two loving parents a small girl, only 3 years old, named Allysa. Riley had been left in charge of her for an hour while the parents went the grocery store. What had happened was Allysa, who was usually sweet and well behaved, decided to show her bad side that night. After Allysa whined and cried for 10 minutes about how Riley hadn?t done her dolls hair correctly, an irritated Riley had said to her ?Elisa, please stop acting like such a little rat!? Elisa sniffled a little and nodded. ?Now go get ready for bed, sweetie.? Riley said sighing. Though baby-sitting duty wasn?t exactly ideal, she knew it was one of the sacrifices she?d have to make if she ever wanted to be part of a true family. Elisa did as she was told and went straight into the bathroom. Five minutes later, Riley heard screaming from the bathroom. She ran as quickly as possible, to find rats crawling through the walls, covering Elisa?s tiny body. Riley hit them off, panicking, picked up Elisa, ran, and slammed the bathroom door. Luckily, Elisa was unharmed, except she told her parents about the rats, and how Riley had said something about rats beforehand. Of course, the parents sent Riley away immediately, she couldn?t blame them, though, they couldn?t have known it was just a coincidence, no one could have. So now Riley was being shipped off from a small town in Florida to some unheard of ciy over in Europe. Big changes were ahead of her, and yet sitting in the crowded and dirty plane, she was perfectly content, for how was she to know what lay ahead. Of course, the glorious plane ride couldn?t have lasted forever. Eventually Riley was brought back down to Earth, and as soon as the plane landed she felt as she had before she boarded the plane a lonely young girl. When she got into the airport she was met by a tall, thin woman. Her hair was sleek and black, pulled into a tight knot on top of her head. Though she couldn?t have been older then 35, lines creased her long face and her skin seemed frail and thin over her prominent cheekbones. She spoke quickly in a deep British accent. ?So you must be Miss Riley Eritta, correct? I am Ms. Lexet? She stared down at Riley making her nervous and shy, She could barley choke out her next words. ?Y-yes ma?am. I am? She spoke so softly the new women had to strain her ears to hear the girl. She smiled, she already liked the girl who had barley spoken two words. ?You must be, you are such a beautiful young lady, look just like your mother did. She was a good women, she was, but we must not dwell on that so long or I just might start to tear up.? ?Oh my, you knew my mother! I-I can?t believe it how? How?? a jolt of excitement flooded over Riley. She forgot about being a shy, timid girl, mention of her mother always did that to her, because the truth was she had never known a thing about her mother. Both her parents had died before Riley was even a year old. She had never met anyone who had even really known her mother, even. She was intrigued. ?And? and I look like her?? ?Yes, you sure do,? Mrs. Lexet scanned her eyes over Riley, taking in the features that were so similar to the ones of her mothers, the ones of Mrs.Lexet?s best friend. The same loose curls in her brown hair , streaked with highlights of gold, as if someone had dropped rays of sunlight onto her head. She had the same long, thin figure, so much like her mothers. And mostly she had the same twinkling green eyes that seemed to contain the entire universe. But her pale complexion, full lips and sculpted features resembled her dad more, ?yes, and you look much your father too. Riley smiled at this thought, and her smile was dazzling. Since she had never really thought much of her appearance, she co (more...)

okay, I am writing a book about a shadow. She looks human but isn't. Her job is mainly to protect her town but she doesn't know how excatly. She disapears at night because there is no light (like a shadow) She has NO contact with humans, and isn't aloud to. Then there is a human and she is bullied at school to a point where she basically snaps. She runs away in the very beginning (prologue) and you don't hear of her until later. . Eventually the shadow girl (who desperatly wants to be human) accidentally runs into the bullied girl and tells the shadow girl that life as a human is not what it seems to be and the shadow tells the girl that not being able to talk to others isn't excatly easy either. As much as Midnight (shadow) wants to be human, she can't remember anything of her 17 years as one. A man ( i am not sure of his goal yet ... any ideas?) tells her that he can give her parts and clues to her past if she helps him in small ways. Then eventually tells her she can become human again if she does one big thing. Maybe now, all that is left to help her is... Millecent. Would you read it?? This is a paragraph from the part where night is coming and she is disapearing. (btw, it is a very painful operation!) I didn?t realize the time until I felt the slow painful tingling in my fingers. I ran from anywhere people could hear me scream, I didn't want a human to hear me. I started feeling the pain creeping up my arm. I should have run earlier but I didn?t realize the sun was setting; the ache was now tearing through my arms and creeping towards the rest of my body. I stopped and braced myself for the pain. When it hit my heart it was the worst. The deep blow hit my heart and I gave a cry of agony. Then I heard two human?s voices behind me, trying to hold in my scream I prayed to god that they wouldn?t notice me, it was unheard of for a shadow. Just in time the darkness hit, I ceased to exist and the pain stopped. i know i already asked this, but i thoughit had gotten deleted. Sooory :s but id sstill love comments! (more...)

I under stand it a little bit but I want your opinion. Ode on a Grecian Urn Thou still unravished bride of quietness, Thou foster-child of slience and slow time, Sylvan historian, who canst thus express A flowerey tale more sweetly than our rhyme What leaf-fringe legend haunts abput thy shape Of deities or mortals, or of both, In Temple or the dales of Arcdy? What men ot gods are these? What maidens loath? What mad pursuits? What struggle to escape? What pipes and trimrels? What wild ecstacy? Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard Are sweeter; therfore, ye soft pipese, play on; Not to the sensual ear, but, more endeared, Pipe tothe spirit ditties of no tone: Fairyouth, beneath the trees, thou canst not leave Thy song, nor ever can those treesbe bare: Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss, THough winning near the goal-yet, do not grieve; She cannot fade, though hast not thy bliss, For ever wilt thou love, and she be fair! Ah, happy, happy boughs! that cannot shed Your leaves, nor ever bid the Spring adieu; And, happy melodist, unwearied For ever piping songs for ever new; More happy love! more happy, happy love! For ever warm and still to be enjoyed, For ever panting, and for ever young That leaves a neart high-sorrowed and cloyed, A burning forehead, and a parching toungue. Who are these coming to the sacrifices? To what green altar, O mysterious priest, Lead'st thou that heifer lowing at the skies And all her silken flanks with garlands dressed? What little tow by river or sea shore, Or mountain-built with peaceful citadel, Is emptied of this foolk, this pious morn? And, little town, thy streets for evermore Will silent be; and not a soul to tell Why thou art desolate, can e'er return. O Attic shape! Fair attitude! with brede Of marble men and maidens overwrought With forest branches and the trodden weed Thou, silent form, dost tease us out of thought As doth eternity: Cold Pastoral When old age shall this generation waste Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st, Beauty is truth,thruth beauty--that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know (more...)
