So I've been visualising a few things lately, in line with the teachings in The Secret, with little to moderate success. I realise that it's only just a method of positive thinking but I can't help but wonder - when we take...

studentkelly I see your point, but I'm so used to praying to one God, or having people speak about God's blessing in a really personal, one on one type of way. So far I've only really gained seats on a crowded bus or a few cents from using the secret. I guess when I get...

Hi i got to a catholic school and we have pretty much no rights there. there are uniforms, hair codes, shoes codes, and any other sort of strict rule you can think of. The little calendar they give us says their is a non...

studentkelly You sound like a smart kid - no doubt helped by a quality education, although you seem to be decrying it now. I'm going to break something to you - wherever you want to get in life, there will be rules, regulations, spaces for negotiation but only in rare...

What are your thoughts on this? Do you think he will be successful? I don't think he will coz he is locked in contract with the Bulldogs. He will be missed if he does leave to go to union in France - he's a good player.

studentkelly Even though this is well in the past now, I don't think that from next season onward the dogs will miss SBW. To be honest, he was injured half the time. Brilliant when on his game, but how often was that? Next year the dogs will be smoking with Michael Ennis...

I've got a couple. Firstly, when the Weasleys are just getting to know Harry and Percy comes down for breakfast and accidentally sits on the owl, Errol. That used to crack me up each time I read it. When Kreacher asks Harry if he...

why is it ron that everything bad happens to. his wand breaks, he eats slugs, he has to face a giant spider when hes terrified of them. why cant funny inconveniences happen to harry or hermoine. i think the producers are picking...

studentkelly Ron is supposed to be the foil for Harry - Harry was born into nothing, Ron was born into a pureblood, magical family. It's a clever way of showing that purebloods aren't more intelligent or gifted than halfbloods. If she'd made Hermione have the bad things...

I am! I always knew Percy had it in him. To stand up for himself and stop being a ministry lackey. I was finally listening to book seven (I'm on disk 15) and when Fred died and Percy was holding onto him I was trying not to cry in...

studentkelly To be honest, it would have been much more bittersweet and heartwrenching if he had been killed in the Great Battle. Imagine all the intrigue - Percy shows up, but whose side is he on? Imagine all the relating fan fiction - is he good, or is he bad? (Or 'was',...

studentkelly Amazon did a review of it when they won the bid at the charity auction. If you do a search for it, you should be able to come up with a summary of all of the stories. I enjoyed them when I read them, they kept the bittersweet tone that Rowling held the whole...

studentkelly In the real world I want to be a journalist, but there are super exciting jobs in the magical world so I guess that would fly out the window (unless writing for the Quibbler if all of those stories were true!) To be honest, for a while I think I'd just want to...

studentkelly I nearly cried once last christmas while at a shopping mall - I heard a Christmas choir (I seem to be talking about Christmas alot tonight!) and teared up. I don't know why - maybe because it was so pure and their goodwill was so tangible. I see inspiring...

Which do you prefer? I like my birthday because it is very individualised - the spotlight is on me, the choices are mine, people are obligated to be nice, etc. But I love Christmas because there's a higher chance of my entire...

studentkelly Shared celebration is great, but I guess a downside of Christmas is that it tends to highlight the divisions between differing social groups. The commercialisation of it all is pretty shocking, as well, then you've got issues like people debating whether...

What do you think will hold you back from succeeding and achieving that which you want? I guess, for me, it's definitely the fact that everything has been handed to me on a platter that makes me reluctant to step up and ask for...

studentkelly It's crazy because a dream, and whether you live up to it or not, kind of defines you as a person and grades the success of your life. My boyfriend wants to be a rockstar but that's highly unlikely. It throws his life onto a different sphere, dream wise,...

studentkelly Thanks for your good wishes :D I guess it's easier to have lofty ideals and grand visions before you start to follow the steps you need to, to achieve your goals. I have a feeling that everything will work out in the end, also, but the end is so far away that...

studentkelly I had forgotten about the general goodwill that's attached to Christmas. It's always really fun walking past the front windows of department stores and witnessing charity choirs that have assembled. I'm Christian but I'll admit that I get into the family...

For some people its just a place you go to when there's nothing else to do. Do you find the net really essential to your living or is it just a time-killer ?

studentkelly It's definitely a time killer. Half the information you read on here is false, constructed through ignorance or through genuine misleading tactics. It's great for keeping families and friends together but only succeeds in propping up relationships that would...

studentkelly Scented candles all the way. I think it's because not only do you get a nice smell, but there is something really calming about watching a candle burn, particularly if it's a really nice looking one! I think that candles also feel really warm and give off...

studentkelly I prefer to see the beauty in situations! For example, each time I'm at a concert stuck behind somebody taller than me, I think back to a Heckler article published in an SMH newspaper that said something like, 'Even though we'd arrived a good half hour earlier...
