My 0.02$ on life, love and friendship

Everybody in the house make some noise! 500 000 users on Opera Community and growing! You all know I was very active member for a while, can't say it was a long time but it seems to me like my work here made needed impact and people even today few months after I stopped coming daily and contributing people still ask me for help and recognize my work. I'm sorry because of the fact that I had to reduce my work here that much, but life often comes in a way of internet and I simply couldn't find any spare time to spend working here so I decided to stop. I know that there are enough brilliant people to keep up with stuff I did and make this place even greater.
I came here 2 years ago because I loved and used opera on all platforms and because this community was very resuourcefull with great skins for Opera and Symbian S60 phones... nowdays it is not only Opera's community, but also people's communtiy... I've met some great characters here... starting with Brian, Joni, Eve, Leila, Dan, Stephan, Scipio, Non-troppo, Olekasper, Sagar, Ramunas, Fred, Non-troppo and others. (Edit Sorry non-troppo)
We all made this place one of the best communities there is. I think of Opera Community every day, I wear my shirts and badges with pride and carry my cellphone with joy, I'm sorry I'm not here more but be sure I'll be watching you and you'll never walk alone Thank you all!

1.You CAN resist peer pressure. I said 'no' to smoking drugs. So nobody can force you. It disgusted me too as I had this choice when I was actually inside school grounds. If people hate you for sticking to your decision they are not your friend.
2.The teacher is not nasty. Well if you taught hundreds of pupils, marked tons of work up to 1 in the morning and had to control 30 screaming kids wouldn't you shout sometimes. They don't set out to pick on you either they need everyone to hold it together for the sake of your education.
3.Skipping classes is not smart, nor fun. Just think of the detentions and extra homework you gain from doing so. Stay in school I know people who learned the hard way and they will regret it for the rest of their life.
4.Being someone you're not gets yourself temporary friends. To think you only are liked by the popular girls because you pick on your ex best friend. Do you want to have no security, fake friends cannot be trusted and they are waiting for the right moment to destroy you.
5.Work as hard as you can in lessons, yeah distractions are there all the time. As you've heard before crushes on the guy next to you, on the teacher or a celebrity stuck to the cover of your book, can stop you completely from doing a task. There are relevant times for boys and class is not it. Grades are for life and guys are only temporary.
6.Be as individual as possible. People especially guys will respect you for it. If you are a SHEEP and you have the same coat, bag, hair and opinions as the rest of your girl friends then you're not being true to yourself. Just think you have to step out into the real world someday on your own.
7.Organisation. Yes it's a hard thing for most teens, being spontaneous is not always the best way to go about it. You need to plan things and follow routines it is an important thing needed for work. Be organised and well thought out so you can manage time to fit that date in with that homework.
8.Friends are there for you. Blah, blah suppose you've heard all fifty thousand cliches but they are true. Your friends are there to help you through school life. Without them it is not possible to survive. You need a stable set of friends to keep yourself happy and enjoy your life. What would you do at break times without your group of girls having a laugh?
9.Do not whatsoever do anything with a guy if you are not 100 percent ready to do so. If a guy forces you its rape. If you are under the age of consent it is illegal. What would a 25 year old guy want a 14 year old girl? Oh yeah he can convince her he loves her and then have his way with her. A tart reputation in school is the hardest thing to shake off. Even if you do it once and a whole load of rumours go round about you then it gives out the wrong impression totally. Do it with your boyfriend but wait until you're ready. People have their ways of stabbing you in the back and this is the most common. And use protection a pregnancy can ruin your school life completely.
10.Listen to advice because the teacher was your age once and they are human after all so they are there to lend a hand. Never let anyone put you down, work hard and try not to make too many mistakes. People do care so if you're feeling upset you're not alone. Nobody is perfect either and good things come with the bad.

1)Reply to everything someone says with "thats what you think"
2)Make beeping noises when a large person backs up
3)Sing along at the opera
4)finish all your sentences with "accordance to prophesy"
5)Do not add any inflection to the end of your sentences, producing awkward silences with the impression that you'll be saying more.
6)Never make eye contact
7)Meow occasionally
8)Walk around with a cooler that say "human head" on the side
9)In a lift, draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passeners that this is your "personal space."
10)Announce in a crowded place, in a demonic voice: "I must find a more suitable host body."
11)Staple papers in the middle of the page.
12)Publicly investigate just how slowly you can make a "croaking" noise.
13)Begin all your sentences with "ooh la la!"
14)Steal a large quantity of traffic cones and re-route entire streets.
15)Write "X - Buried treasure" in random spots on all of someone's road maps.
16)Ask people what gender they are.

... And I promise to touch you ever so gently, That you'll mistake my caress for a swift breeze born for the simple sake of blowing your troubles away.
You are safe child.
But if pain ever dare threaten the safety of our love,
Then I would grant you wings to lift your spirit above the sky and allow your tears to free fall onto the face of the earth, so that its children begin to believe that the rain comes from an angel crying.
So let it rain, let it rain, let it rain and I will stand a hundred miles beneath you with my hands lifted towards the heavens collecting your teardrops in crystal glasses of wine.
Because I believe that this love potion number nine holds the remedy for time and just one taste would allow me to love you forever...

-Alan Maramag

Anytime you need someone
Somebody strong to lean on
Well you can count on me
To hold you till the healing is done
And every time you fall apart
Well you can hide here in my arms
And you can count on me
To hold you till that feeling is gone

"Count On Me" - Default

Life aint always beautiful
Sometimes it's just plain hard
Life can knock you down, it can break your heart

Life aint always beautiful
You think you're on your way
And it's just a dead end road at the end of the day

But the struggles make you stronger
And the changes make you wise
And happiness has its own way of takin it's sweet time

No, life aint always beautiful
Tears will fall sometimes
Life aint always beautiful
But it's a beautiful ride

-Gary Allan

Do you ever feel like running away from your life?
Do you ever feel like leaving it all behind?
Do you ever feel like giving up on the spot? Because you feel you've lost it all.
Do you ever feel like no one cares they act all smiley but you know it's just a big lie.
When you feel like there's no hope in this world and you feel like you can't stand it anymore.
Just look at your friends the one's who love you till the end, and will catch you when you fall.
And then you realize there is hope in this world.
Even though nothings going right and you feel there's no way out.
You emotions are building up inside and you feel like there all ready to come out.
You feel like screaming but no one hears, you feel like crying but no one cares.
You feel like packing up and leaving but what would your friends think and your family?
This is your life a whirlpool it is, this is the way you live.
Sometimes you need to breakaway and all the bad memories will fade away.
It's your choice it's up to you, but just remember we will stand by you.

Sean Maguire: Thought about what you said to me the other day, about my painting. Stayed up half the night thinking about it. Something occurred to me... fell into a deep peaceful sleep, and haven't thought about you since. Do you know what occurred to me?
Will Hunting: No.
Sean Maguire: You're just a kid, you don't have the faintest idea what you're talkin' about.
Will Hunting: Why thank you.
Sean Maguire: It's all right. You've never been out of Boston.
Will Hunting: Nope.
Sean Maguire: So if I asked you about art, you'd probably give me the skinny on every art book ever written. Michelangelo, you know a lot about him. Life's work, political aspirations, him and the pope, sexual orientations, the whole works, right? But I'll bet you can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You've never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling; seen that. If I ask you about women, you'd probably give me a syllabus about your personal favorites. You may have even been laid a few times. But you can't tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy. You're a tough kid. And I'd ask you about war, you'd probably throw Shakespeare at me, right, "once more unto the breach dear friends." But you've never been near one. You've never held your best friend's head in your lap, watch him gasp his last breath looking to you for help. I'd ask you about love, you'd probably quote me a sonnet. But you've never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. Known someone that could level you with her eyes, feeling like God put an angel on earth just for you. Who could rescue you from the depths of hell. And you wouldn't know what it's like to be her angel, to have that love for her, be there forever, through anything, through cancer. And you wouldn't know about sleeping sitting up in the hospital room for two months, holding her hand, because the doctors could see in your eyes, that the terms "visiting hours" don't apply to you. You don't know about real loss, 'cause it only occurs when you've loved something more than you love yourself. And I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much. And look at you... I don't see an intelligent, confident man... I see a cocky, scared s**tless kid. But you're a genius Will. No one denies that. No one could possibly understand the depths of you. But you presume to know everything about me because you saw a painting of mine, and you ripped my f***ing life apart. You're an orphan right? [Will nods] You think I know the first thing about how hard your life has been, how you feel, who you are, because I read Oliver Twist? Does that encapsulate you? Personally... I don't give a s**t about all that, because you know what, I can't learn anything from you, I can't read in some f***in' book. Unless you want to talk about you, who you are. Then I'm fascinated. I'm in. But you don't want to do that do you sport? You're terrified of what you might say. Your move, chief.

- Good Will Hunting

If you're willing to listen,
if you want to understand.
Why it is that my eyes glisten,
why my hearts in my hand.

What do I have to give,
what could I possibly do.
Why would you want me to live,
even after I hurt you?

I'm not lying anymore,
this time my words are for real.
Please don't lock up your door,
before I say how I feel.

- Chris Griffin

A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.

"House" for instance, is feminine: "la casa."

"Pencil," however, is masculine: "el lapiz."

A student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?"

Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether "computer" should be a masculine or a feminine noun.

Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.

The men's group decided that "computer" should definitely be of the feminine gender ("la computadora"), because:

1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;

2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;

3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and

4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

(THIS GETS BETTER!)

The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine ("el computador"), because:

1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;

2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;

3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and

4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

The women won.

Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me

I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now

Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me

Don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now

You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around now it may show
I don't know, I don't know

Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me

Don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now

- George Harrison

1) Ask what the theater's return policy on popcorn is.
2) Every time there is a gun shot scream, "Hit the floor!", jump on the floor, and cover your head.
3) Wear one of those "cat in the hat" top hats.
4) Point a laser pointer at the screen. Give the audience a laser light show.
5) Bring a book and a bright light. Start reading the book with the light on. When someone asks you to turn out the light, yell, "Shh, I'm trying to read!"
6) Throw spit wads on the screen. Try throwing them on the upper part of the screen so they can't get scraped off.
7) Pass around a collection plate and see if anyone contributes.
8) Laugh hysterically during the sad parts in the movie, cry during the funny ones.
9) Bring your own beanbag chair and sit in the aisle.
10) Laugh very loudly at all the corny jokes.
11) Use empty chairs next to you as catapults with candy. Aim at specific people behind you and see if you can hit anyone in the back row.
12) Bring a flashlight. In the middle of the film do shadow puppets on the ceiling.
13) Bring a remote control. Complain that you can't change the channel.
14) Sit front row, the minute the movie starts run out screaming.
