Shakespeare freak

I'm living internationally so my boyfriend and I literally live halfway across the world from each other. His birthday is in Saturday, and I still haven't sent the gift. I didn't start thinking about it until after christmas break, then it took me awhile to figure out exactly what I was doing, and then making the actual gift has been super time consuming, and I have no time to spend on it. I'm not sure exactly how long it takes to send something, but it's not going to get there until valentines day at the soonest (it will probably be late for valentines day too) So do you think I need to send him a valentines gift too, or would just a cute email suffice? We are only in high school so it's not like we are super super serious, but he is still my best friend, and I care about him more than anything.

I lived in Utah (one of the driest states) but now I have moved to china (where it s 90% humidity most days) and my pegs won't move hardly at all, occasionally I can get them to move a little bit, but it takes a lot of effort, and I am afraid that it will break my violin. I am guessing the problem is because of the humidity, but I just want to know if this is going to be permanent, or if there is some way to fix it. please help me! I miss my dear violin!

So I liked this kid (we will call him david) almost 2 years ago, and he liked me and he asked me out. I wasn't 16 yet(and my parents have a rule that I am not aloud to date before I am 16) so I had to turn him down. we still liked each other, and we texted a ton, but like how friends text nothing flirty. and we were in a play together so even though we didn't go to the same school I saw him 3 times a week. Well he is one of those kids who always has to have a girlfriend so about a week after the play he had a new gf, and he didn't text me very much anymore, so I was devastated (well at least I felt like it at the time) after still liking him for a while (even if i hadn't seen him for a while, when I would see him, I'd fall for him again) I realized it wasn't worth it because he was slightly a player (even if is an amazing friend) and I did not want to be just another girl, so I decided it wasn't worth it to like him anymore. Then at the end of the summer I met his stepbrother. (keep in mind when david and I liked each other alex was not his stepbrother) He was amazing, and now we are sort of dating (read: we both really like each other, but I do not want a steady relationship until I am out of high school. High school is a time to meet different people) after all this happened david tells me he never stopped liking me and has always had "strong feelings" for me, and how I gave him the most amazing hug of his life (which I don't remember, and he hugs tons of people so it is kinda surprising) etc. He hasn't ever (or at least recently) told alex how he feels for me, other than saying how he wants to try and get me [to fall for him] and how alex did what he could never do. Am I justified in dating alex? because honesty nothing happened between david and I. he asked me out, i turned him down and then we stayed friends. but some how I still feel guilty. and a little ticked with david. I think he has crossed the line on things he as said. your opinion? thanks a millionXOXO!!!

I want to do something really intense and extravagant. I was thinking maybe a scavenger hunt that leads all over town, and eventually back to his house(or where ever it was he started) and at every place he has to do something crazy, and he will get one letter and when he puts them all together he will find out who asked him. His step brother is a good friend of mine, and his parents love me, so they would be willing to help. does this sound like a good idea? any ideas to improve this, or thing to do on this scavenger hunt, or any better ideas to do to ask him? thanks a million!! :) XOXO

and a microcosm of the principles that established the foundation of this nation? any information would be greatly appreciated!

I have played the first one and loved it, so I bought the 358/2 and was completely lost. I now know that it would be extremely beneficial to play the other games, so I was just wondering what order should I play them in? I have done a lot of research and about half the people say to play them in chronological order, and others say to do it by release date. could you please tell me which order would be best to play them in, and WHY? thanks a ton in advance!

We are not technically together. neither one of us can date until we are 16, and we are both 15 (we have the same birthday!!) We haven't ever actually talked face to face about how we feel about each other, but because of some of our friends we found out that we liked each other. Right now we are kinda going through that awkward stage, so I don't wanna get something too extravagant in fear that it might ruin it. I don't know if I should get anything at all. would it be weird, or seem too obsessive if I got him something, and he didn't get me anything? We are both drama kids, so something funny or cheesy would be great! We are both very big on pick up lines too, and are exchanging them all the time. so I was thinking maybe buying a box of candy hearts, and a cute card filled with pick up lines, and if i do that how should I sign it? ahh, this is killing me! this could either, make everything more awkward, and ruin everything, or it could be the little push we need to be headed in the right direction. oh and do you think that he would get me a gift. Should I put it in his locker, or give it to him? I think it would kinda be awkward to just give it to him, especially if he doesn't have anything for me... wow valentines day has become way more complicated...

how many chromosomes pairs are involved in the following traits:

Rolling you tongue

Hitch-hiker's thumb?

I have looked everywhere and have been unable to find this answer. if anyone knows that would be amazing! you would be a life saver!

We have been friends since 7th grade, we are now in 9th. I am not looking for a relationship(because of my standards) I didn't really think that he liked me anything more than a friend, but at shakespeare festival he kept on flirting with me and using cheesy pick up lines. It really wasn't as big of a deal as it may sound though. It was a bunch of drama kids and we were using cheesey pick up lines with everyone whether we knew them or not. I was flirting with plenty of guys I don't like, and plenty of guys that I know who they like(and I promise they don't like me) were flirting with me too. but he was flirting with me more than any other guy was, and more than he was with any other girl. so do you think he likes me? and what are some signs that a guy likes you?

I love fantasy, and Si fi books. I will go for any kind, those are just my favorite. Oh and anything that has some good(clean) romance in it I love!

I know it might sound kind of naive or stupid, but I do not know i've people say that it is a religion and a government thing or something, and so I just was wondering what it really is.

I have to build a catapult for science class, and I want to know what the best design is. The base can not exceed 1 cubic foot, and the arm can be no longer than 2 feet. It can be made out of anything. I need to be able to shoot a big marshmallow 5ft; however if I can fling the marshmallow the farthest I will receive a full size candy bar. thanks in advance!!

ok so there is this one guy that I was really good friends with last year, and toward the end of the year he started kind of acting like he liked me. It could have kind of been my fault, because sometimes I start kinda flirting with guys that I feel comfortable around, and I don't even know that I am flirting. so anyways the beginning of the school year he told me he liked me and asked if I wanted to be his gf. I said no, because well im only 14 and I don't even like him more than friend( but don't worry I let him down easily) this year though he has been a complete pervert, and has no personal bubble, like he sits right next to me in science, and he scoots like way close to me so are arms are almost touching, and he always pokes me in the side and stomach(which really bugs me) because I flip out. and I really don't even like him as a friend any more because he is an annoying pervert this year. but he wont leave me alone! none of my friends like him either this year so its not just me. but how do I tell him to back off with out hurting him???

I have been acting for awhile and I felt really good about my abilities, but now that I am in the top acting class at our school I am with some really amazing actors I am starting to kind of doubt myself, and I am especially worried about the auditions for our school play today. I feel as though I would do really good for this one part, and I have a monologue that I used a while back to try out for something else with some one else so I am not worried about messing up, but there are just so many people that also want the part. I am pretty good though every one always says how good I am at acting, but like I said being with these amazing people makes me doubt myself. so what can I do to get back my confidence, what can I do to get better, and any other advice PLEASE HELP!!!! I AM DESPERATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also I have for a long time only wanted to do acting on the stage, but now I kinda think it would be cool to act in movies, what would be a better direction for me to go? sorry about this kinda being a whole bunch of questions all together, but I know how amazing you people are and you have never let me down before! ( oh and also just in case you were wondering my class is for 8th and 9th graders and is an audition class) thanks again!!!

k so I have to audition with a shakespeare monologue for the shakespeare festival. the monologue that we audition with is the one we will preform. so when I say I have my audition on thursday don't call me crazy for just starting today. I haven't even been able to work on it today, plus it doesn't have to be perfect.

I understand most of my monologue but parts are a little bit hard to understand, and I might have interpreted it wrong, so could you please tell me what you think every thing means and what I should do for the blocking for some of the lines??? that would be greatly apreacitated!!!

k so my monologue is Kind Henry VI part I act:V: iii and vi

The regent conquers, and the Frenchmen

fly.

Now help, ye charming spells and

periapts;

And ye choice spirits that admonish me

And give me signs of future accidents.

(thunder)

You speedy helpers, that are substitutes

Under the lordly monarch of the north,

Appear and aid me in this enterprise.

This speedy and quick appearance

argues proof

Of your accustom'd diligence to me.

Now, ye familiar spirits, that are cull'd

Out of the powerful regions under earth,

Help me this once, that France may get the field.

(the walk, and speak not)

O, hold me not with silence over-long!

Where I was wont to feed oyou with my blood,

I'll lop a member off and give it you

In earnest of further benefit,

So you do condescend to help me now.

(they hang there heads)

No hope to have redress? My body shall

Pay recompense, if you will grant my

suit.

(They shake their heads)

Cannot my body nor blood-sacrifice

Entreat you to your wonted furtherance?

Then take my soul, my body, soul and

all,

Before that England give the French the foil.

(they depart)

See, they forsake me! Now the time is come

That France must vail her lofty-plumed crest

And let her head fall into England's lap.

My ancient incantaions are too weak,

And hell to strong for me to bluckle with:

Now, France, thy glory droopeth to the dust.

(First,) let me tell you whom you have condemn'd;

Not me begotten of a shepherd swain,

But issued from the progeny of kinds,

Virtuous and holy; chosen from above,

By inspiration of celestial grace,

To work exceeding miracles on earth.

I never had to do with wicked spirits:

But you, that are polluted with you lusts,

Stain'd with the quiltless blood of

innocents,

corrupt and tainted with a thousand

vices,

Because you wnat the grace that others

have,

You judge it straight a thin impossible

To compass wonders but by help of

devils.

No, misconceived! Joan of Arc hath

been

A virgin from her tender infancy,

Chaste and immaculuate in very thought;

whose maiden blood, thus rigorously

effused,

Will cry for vengeance at the gates of heaven. (pause)

Will nothing turn your unrelenting hearts?

Then lead me hence; with whom I leave my curse:

May never glorious sun relfex his beams

Upon the country where you make abode;

But darkness and the gloomy shade of death

Environ you, till mischief and despair

Drive you to break your necks or hang yourselves!
