Hello everyone, recently I read a book online about moneyless living, and it got me thinking about a lot of things I had never thought about before. First of all, it made me realize just how much my family wastes every day. Second, it made me realize how, as a fifteen year old, I am completely dependent on other people. From there, I started reading all about organic gardening, sustainable living, and self sufficiency. All of these things interest me greatly. I believe that as the next generation, it is my responsibility to help get people off of the track of blind consumerism and onto the path of sustainability and respect for the earth. The only place to start is with myself. But now I'm looking for something I can do to take that first step towards self sufficiency. I've looked into community gardening for a hands on introduction into organic gardening, but there aren't any community gardens where I live. I've read all about WWOOFing and HelpX and Ecovillages, and I'm very interested in that kind of thing, but the problem is I'm still in school. Is there anything I can do today to start learning skills that will one day help me become self sufficient? A club, a class, somewhere I can volunteer, any and all ideas are welcome and greatly appreciated. I just want something that will be that stepping stone from thought and theory to having the skills to take action and make a difference.

Bacteria gnawing on tissue exhale

Filling my skull with pink helium

Skin is unfurling and eyes are billowing

Toes numb as my roots release

Oxygen is filling my lungs with oil

To meet the water in my veins

Breath snagging as I part with my shadow

I giggle as he waves goodbye

Tunneling vision is pixellating

With starbursts of fire and ice

Limbs become lost in a haystack of needles

And limply I drift with the clouds..

Far, far beyond the vanilla cloud castles

I'm lost in the velvet black folds

My bones are bending --I don't feel a thing!

--And, laughing I swallow a star

Fracturing shockwave of light changes the

Marrow of bone into sand

Crumbling, my purpose slips out as a whisper:

"To dwell between negative spaces"

My Chemical Romance, Linkin Park, Disturbed, Breaking Benjamin, Seether, Korn, Green Day, Blue October, Muse, Bright Eyes, Mumford and Sons, Simon and Garfunkel, Pink Floyd, Evanescence.. All these bands I love but am so sick of the repetition!!! I would greatly appreciate it if you would volunteer your favorite band, preferably along with your favorite song so I can sort of sample their work. I CANT STAND pop, rap, or country.. please don't give me anything that has been played on the radio a thousand times already. I AM open to classical, rock, metal, alternative, techno.. Really anything other than pop, rap, or country- but I would prefer something that you find truly breathtaking. Thank you for your time.

Are there any theories?

Newton's third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. How does this apply to everyday life? An example would be that if you bounce a ball on the ground it will come back up, but how is this an EQUAL and opposite reaction? Can anyone give me a better example and explain this one?

Well I was reading up on personality disorders and I thought "wow, this really fits me" but I don't believe in self diagnosis so can anyone give me advice about whether I should consult a professional? So here is my description:

I have pretty high self esteem, but social contact mentally exhausts me and I find myself needing time to myself to "recharge". Sometimes in my social interactions I am extremely hyper and at the center of attention, but other times I am mentally blank and have to force myself to make conversation. I am drawn to nature and like to wander alone,often finding myself slip into a state of self detachment. I read often to escape reality. I yearn for emotional connection but fear I lack the ability to make one. To the common eye I appear normal and unobtrusive but to those who know me better I am strange and eccentric. I don't think anyone feels like they are in touch with my thought processes. I appear indifferent to both praise and criticism, on one memorable occasion I unintentionally provoked my best friend into saying "don't you feel ANYTHING" after an entire afternoon of her pointlessly criticizing me and receiving no reaction.I am not at all depressed, though sometimes appear so. My dad divorced my mom at a young age but my mom has been a great parent and has made up for the lack of emotional stimulation from my dad.

That's all I can think of right now, but if you need any more information I will be happy to provide. Thanks!!!!

How do christians know that the bible is the word of god? Do they have any proof?

Does true happiness come from helping yourself or helping others? Why? Proof?

I am totally interested in people with psychological disorders, have even wished that i had one. I know that it's REALLY not fun to have and i know that i shouldn't take what i have for granted. But even while i know this i still feel the same way. What does this mean, if anything?

I want a horror movie that will truly scare the crap out of me. Something that will give me nightmares for weeks. Unfortunately, I am VERY hard to scare, so I don't know if this will be possible. I cant count how many bad, boring horror movies i've seen- the omen, the grudge, white noise, paranormal activity, the haunting in connecticut, the poltergeist, blair witch project, the ring, the wickerman, final destination, and countless others. Some RARE good ones i've seen are the exorcist, fear dot com, the shining, and scream. I need something more like these, preferably scarier. Gore is just gross, not scary. I like the ones where a lot of things jump out at you, so you're constantly on the edge of your seat. Does a movie like this exist? Please help!!!
