hi. I'm looking for some blogs or sites that feature short stories for free. not classics or old stuff, but contemporary short stories? I've searched and searched but have only come up with one or two good blogs, so any help would be appreciated! thank you. (:

Ok, so I screwed up and deleted about three applications from my Macbook by accident. Like, clicked "empty" in the Trash and will never see them again. One of the applications, I can re-install from a CD I have. The other two - Preview & iMovie - came with the Mac. How do I get these applications back for free?

I love writing, and I can usually come up with great openings, but then things die down and I don't know how to finish them. I always say I'll get back to the stories, but I never do. How can I motivate myself to get things done? How do you motivate yourself? Any advice would be really appreciated. And I'll give you a cookie. :]

Okay, so I just got the game a few days ago, and now I'm up to the part where I've freed the three lake Pokemon from the cages. I don't know what to do, now. I already beat the leader in Snowpoint City, so there's nothing I can do there. What town am I supposed to go to now? Is there something I'm supposed to do to get further in the game?

I've read Children's Miscellany and Children's Miscellany Too. I was doing research on Volume Three, and I think it's already available in the U.K. but I can't find anything about it in the U.S. Does anyone know when it's expected in America? Thanks so much in advance!

I've tried some translators, but some words are unclear still... I could be misspelling, so please help me.

A la nanita nana, nanita ella, nanita ella

Mi nina tiene sueno, bendito sea, bendito sea.

Fuenticita que corre, clara y sonora,

Ruisenor que en la selva, cantando llora.

Calla mientras la cuna, sea balansea.

A la nanita nana, nanita ella.

This is a traditional song in Spanish, I think. I heard it on the Cheetah Girls 2 soundtrack, just in case that helps.

I need to know because:

a. I never get mail, and this would be nice.

b. I want to be an author apparently

Please suggest magazines that are really for kids. You know, games, contests, things like that! Thanks!

Yeah, I know there are lots of these questions around...
