    But for the most part, I definitely agree. Very few movie adaptations of books are nearly as good as the book was. There are a few special cases, but otherwise...

    Ive read both Stardust book and movie. I liked the book. But I Hearted the movie. The movie was much more fanciful and enchanting.

    An email that I just got from a friend.

    As I've matured...

    I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in...

    I've learned that one good turn gets most of the blankets.

    I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people are just jackasses

    I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.

    I've learned that whatever hits the fan will not be evenly distributed

    I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others - they are more screwed up than you think.

    I've learned that depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

    I've learned that you can keep vomiting long after you think you're finished

    I've learned that ex's are like fungus, and keep coming back.

    I've learned that I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it.

    I've learned that artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

    I've learned that there is a fine line between genius and insanity

    I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and all the less important ones just never go away. And the real pains in the ass are permanent.
    I like it.

    Yeah North, you're right. Basicaly, I'm just happy with the results so far. This day pretty much crawled nowhere. I'm guessing doctors were quite sick of me, seeing I was always on the phone, asking for informations.

    I appreciate all the nice words and thoughts, you guys and girls. It means a lot to me. Right now, I can't do much but wait. I'll let you knwo when more informations are avalaible.

    My opinion is that the Phantom is just that much more awesome when you can hear him singing.

    Glad to hear it. I'll keep praying for her.

    EDIT: Simu'd by Raiser

    She's got the talent, but her voice isn't the best. I'll still keep an eye on her though.

    Phantom: I really liked the book but I haven't seen the musical.

    And one of the best ever book to film adaptations I have ever seen was Sky One's TV movie of The Hogfather. Kept to the book very faithfully.

    When British people leave secondary (around 15/16 yrs old) they generally bring in a notebook or something that they call their Leaver's Book.
    At my school we all brought in our own (some schools publish their own) and had friends, teachers and people we'd miss sign them. Even if we were going to the same college.
    It's kind of to commemorate our change from childhood (and obligatory education) into adulthood (and optional education).
    Also, because we feel sappy and we're not likelt to see everyone from our old school ever again.
    All of my comment that I have just brought a smile to my face.

    I've never purchased one of my school's yearbooks. I will this year for two reasons: I'm helping to make it and it's my last year here. I hate my picture for it though. I'm all shiny.

    Also, I wanna doodle on people.

    The program we're using to make the yearbook is pretty nifty. I might get to do my grade's mugshots page.

    Supposedly, the only movie EVER to have surpassed its book is The Godfather. It's not a fact or anything, but it's what I've heard from people. Some friends told me that several critics agree on it or something.

    No, I'm not a reliable source.

    On Yearbooks:
    I hate them. I was in the yearbook council thing a few years ago. The plan was to go on vacation and leave the book printing to be delivered the following year after we'd been working all year on it.

    What happened? We received our copies and it turned out the teachers had heavily edited all of our work in the yearbook, removed many of our ideas and added their own. When we asked why, they said "because we didn't like it."

    I liked the book and the movie, however, the book excelled at the descriptions of things. Such as the traps Inigo and Fezzic had to make it through (nearly accidentally) to rescue Wesley.
