PICTURE OF THE DAY

One of Hollywood, California's most famous tourist attractions, Grauman's Chinese Theatre is steeped in Hollywood history, having been home to numerous premieres and two Academy Awards ceremonies. Among the theatre's most famous traits are the autographed cement blocks that reside in the forecourt, which bear the signatures and markings of many of Hollywood's most revered stars and starlets. Built in 1927, the exterior of the movie theater supposedly resembles a giant, red Chinese pagoda. The architecture features a huge Chinese dragon across the front, two stone lion-dogs guarding the main entrance, and the silhouettes of tiny dragons up and down the sides of the copper roof.

I'm starting to become addicted
I'm starting to become addicted to blogthings
First, My intelligence

Your IQ Is 105

Second, the reason which confuses me about why I don't have a girlfriend (besides the hair GN, LB, JJ). The Keys to Your Heart You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free. In love, you feel the most alive when everything is uncertain, one moment heaven... the next moment hell. You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring. You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic. Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with. Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred. In this moment, you think of love as something you can get or discard anytime. You're feeling self centered. What Are The Keys To Your Heart? Your Daddy Is Darth Vader Who's Your Daddy? Dan Betts's Aliases Your movie star name: Cow Tails Bud Your fashion designer name is Dan Paris Your socialite name is Danimal New York Your fly girl / guy name is D Bet Your detective name is Cheetah Butler Your barfly name is Oreo Saki Your soap opera name is Richard Scenic Your rock star name is M&M Train Your Star Wars name is Danwen Betnon Your punk rock band name is The Happy UFO The Amazing Meganame Generator Comments (0) | Permalink 9/21/06 I'm in study hall now (actually at the library where all the computers are). I was talking to GN during Physics (1st per.) and we were going to figure out a way to chat to each other. Of course, GN has a Cbox. Anyways, I hope LB likes the song.

PICTURE OF THE DAY The launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis on STS-98, February 7, 2001, at sunset. The sun is behind the camera, and the shape of the plume is cast across the vault of the sky, intersecting the rising full moon. The top portion of the plume is bright because it is illuminated directly by the sun; the lower portions are in the Earth's shadow. After launch, the shuttle must engage in a pitch and roll program so that the vehicle is below the external tank and SRBs, as evidenced in the plume trail. The vehicle climbs in a progressively flattening arc, because achieving low orbit requires much more horizontal than vertical acceleration.

You are perfect to rule Saturn because like its rings, you don't always follow the rules of nature. And like Saturn, to really be able to understand you, someone delve beyond your appearance. You are not an easy person to befriend. However, once you enter a friendship, you'll be a friend for life. You think slowly but deeply. You only gain great understanding after a situation has past.
