Nita and Kit...Yes or no??

[Birdhead]

People? Two, actually. And we do talk about them. Fantasy series are very good jumping off points for midnight phiolosophical discussing between a trio of best friends who are sleeping over. Mind you, I did introduce them to them. (We've been best friends for about 5 years, and by this point we've all basically read everything the others think is good.)
Just wanted to say they're not that little known.. well, maybe they are, but this is New zealand.....

YES!!! Hi everyone i'm new to being a member. But i read all the books so far! I think Nita and Kit should get together! Dari and Kit got together Nita would DEFINETLY in my mind not like it even if she didn't have feelings for Kit. I know that main characters always get together. But, wasn't their way of thinking about each other different in The Wizards Dilemma?? Maybe even a little? Please tell me what you think!

[Aurora]

Always get together? I wouldn't think so. I'm SURE i read a few where the main characters did NOT get together. A piece of advice- don't use absolute statements. They're too hard to prove. Well nigh impossible, I'd think.

I think it'd be cute is dari and kit got together, but the whole romance thing is best as a minor plot detail or sideplot or something.

I hope,hope,hope,hope nita and kit get together.The rest of them can be alone in the cold(no afience I just like the N/K thing(KIT ROCKS(SO DOES NITA)just as long as there together forever.awh isn't love a grand thing

... Love means emotion, no? And Emotion is weakness. so there. (but thats out of Gundam Wing.... Dunno how it fits in this context.)

"If you can't find the key to happiness, pick the lock"

[Birdhead]

No, emotion is only weakness when you're the angst-ridden mostly male hero of a fantasy/scifi series who also believes that everyone around him is in danger, (and how arrogant, really) that hard is the same thing/better than strong, and that he is destinied to die fighting the Dark Lord/Force/Source/Empire. Emotion is a strength in all the better series.... for example:

"For a last ditch defence against all odds, get a mother."

"Remember the results this emotion has achieved in the past."

"I love you, Charles Wallace."

"Truth! Freedom! Reasonably priced love! And a hard-boiled egg!"

"Freedom! Beauty! Truth! And love! Above all things I believe in love! love is a many-splendored thing, love lifts us up where we belong..."


And also, love has given rise to some of the coolest poetry and song lyrics ever:

"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways..."

"O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
It seems she hangs upon the sheet of night
Like some rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear
Beauty too rich for earth, and Earth too dear...
i ne'er saw true beauty till this night!"

"And so you see i have come to doubt
All that I once held as true;
I stand alone without beliefs
the only truth I know is you."

"They got a wall in China
it's a thousand miles long;
to keep out the foreigners
they made it strong.
And I got a wall around me
that you can't even see.
Takes a little time
to get next to me."

"When I see you smile first thing in the morning
it raises curtains on your lazy eyes; could it be that
you and i have the greatest love
To ever be?
How could this have ever been before..."

"Love that boy
like a dogs loves to run.
Love that boy
like a dog loves to run.
Love to call him in the morning
hey there, son!"

so here's a challenge for some bright cookie: within the next brief while, can you name all my sources? I have, lessee, 11 different quotes from books, poems, one movie, and songs. any takers??

Wow, Quill!! I'm hugely impressed. you even knew Bic Runga, who i was expecting to stump most people. The second one was actually from Alone- it's Millman to Nita, talking about the anger she uses to (insert spoilers here.) And Something So Right is indeed by Paul Simon (grins) he's my favorite songwriter ever...

Caitlin- I feel stupid, but I don't know either of yours. Well, I recognise the first one, but can't say for sure who it's by...

The second one is in Searching for Dragons by Patricia C Wrede.

Hey... Look at it this way- showing emotion has rarely one anything except make my school life worse for me than it is now. And I am pretty Angsty. See, I'm also mentally unstable, so I may also be seen WAY too happy, and another day I'll declare I have a grudge against you if YOU are happy. Yeah...

Laugh at me and I shove you in a locker and lock you in.

"If you can't find the key to happiness, pick the lock"

[Birdhead]

*grins* it's OK, the lockers at our school don't have locks... I guess 9well, i know) that at school emotion, or showing it, can be/is a bad thing. One of my two best friends is completely introverted, and is exhausted by shcool simply by being around people; my other has this stone-faced look she gets when she's about to cry. Only, other people see it as this "arrogant""tough" look and it irritates the heck out of them. I took the opposite route- I shout it out!! for no other reason I can see that that I was made to be noisy, and lazy, and it's too hard to shut up... So I suppose showing emotions can be a bad thing. But they are, i still believe, a strength; it's the love of our friends and family that keeps us going when times are hard; it's our beliefs and hopes and dreams that make us; our anger and pain, even, can be used. hey, for one thing, if life was perfect nobody would grow. pain stinks, but it does make you grow.

Birdhead - Do you know the Walter Dean Myers poem on its own, or from the Sharon Creech novel Love That Dog? If you haven't read the book, you'll love love love it. I only know the first stanza of "Love That Boy." I need to go find the rest of it (although you've given me a new part of it - thanks).

Squash

[Birdhead]

*grins*- yes, i got it from the book. And yes, I love it! She's really good, Sharon Creech. I like everythig she's written. I don't think I did give you a new bit, though- Ah, I've just checked, I misquoted. But here, i found this at some poetry faculty site; i would guess it's accurate;

Love that boy
like a rabbit love to run
I said I love that boy
like a rabbit loves to run
Love to call him in the morning
love to call him
"Hey there, son!"

He walk like his grandpa
grins like his uncle Ben
I said he walk like his grandpa
and grins like his uncle Ben
Grins when he happy
when he sad he grins again
