I'm going on a cruise May 29th, I'm 13, and I'm only going with my mother. It's a Carnival cruise. I was wondering if its hard to meet new people, or find other people to hang out with, because I do NOT want to spend the entire vacation with my mother. Thanks!

What I am mainly asking is if there is a Bring A Friend for $15.00 pass good for April in the 2009 Six Flags Seasons Pass coupon book. Thanks a ton for your help!!!!

Well I have a Costume Ball this Saturday and were supposed to dress up as an Animated Charactor, and I still dont have any ideas exceot for Snow White and Betty Boop ( I have short black brown hair, and I'm short and petite) so please help me out!!!!

Okay well some bill collector called for my father and I lied and said he wasnt home, so he gave a name and number. Then he called back and asked for my name, I thought it was to tell my father that he spoke with me or something, so I gave him my nickname, then he asked for my birthday, and I wasn' thinking and gave him the year. I feel TERRIBLE about that. Anyway, He told my I had a very pretty name, then I asked him why he wanted this information, and he said I actually called back because you sound pretty thats all. So I just said I have to leave ow, good bye. I told my father, he got mad that I even answered the phone, then called the number, and got a women. I cannot call the police for reason I wish not to share. I am under 14. Please tell me what you think I should do. Thank you.

Personally, I like Man Vs. Wild (Bear Grylls) I just think he is awesome, and he really knows what he is doing.

I have some questions on the poem "Identity" by Julio Noboa. Please help!

Identity

by Julio Noboa Polanca

Let them be as flowers

always watered, fed, guarded, admired,

but harnessed to a pot of dirt.

I'd rather be a tall, ugly weed,

clinging on cliffs, like an eagle (5)

wind-wavering above high, jagged rocks.

To have broken through the surface of stone

to live, to feel exposed to the madness

of the vast eternal sky.

To be swayed by the breezes of an ancient sea, (10)

carrying my soul, my seed beyond the mountains of time

or into the abyss of the bizarre.

I'd rather be unseen, and if,

then shunned by everyone

than to be pleasant-smelling flower, (15)

growing in clusters in the fertile valley

where they're praised, handled, and plucked

by greedy, human hands.

I'd rather smell of musty, green stench

than of sweet, fragrant lilac. (20)

If I could stand alone, strong and free,

I'd rather be a tall, ugly weed.

The two questions are "What poetic device is at work in the following phrases? 'clinging on cliffs' 'wind-wavering' "surface of stone'"

AND

What feeling is created by Noboa's repeated 'ssss' sounds in the following lines?

'To be swayed by the breezes of an ancient sea, carrying my soul, my seed, beyond the mountains of time

Or into the abyss of the bizarre.'"

Thank you SO much for your help!

So I have recieved this multiple times in the past few minutes:

Because of our overloading of our servers, we are being forced to extract our non-active AIM users. Because this is a free service, AOL has exceeded the budget for the AIM service. We are asking that you send this exact message to 20 other AIM users to ensure us that you're an active AIM user. Our system tracking devise will pick up this message to keep you on our active list. You have 72 hours to complete this task or your service will be cancelled immediately. Starting January 1st, 2009, we will be charging a small fee for registering of a screen name for AIM. Thank you for your time and for using AOL or AIM. : Sincerely Mark Jenkins Sign in to AIM panel to send an IM

I was wondering if anyone else has recieved this and what there thoughts on this are.... I am sending this around anyway just to be safe but, it seems like AIM would've handled this differently. Anyway, I am really desperate to find out. Please Help!
