Friends

I heard this song in French that is a guy singing, and then every few lines there are these noises, and each verse always ends with four of the noises. They sound kind of like nonsense words, and the last one is something like "wheeee".

I know it's not very specific but I'm wondering if anyone knows what I'm talking about.

I've just had this community recommended to me by an LJ friend and oh my! am I excited to have been pointed this way. Genderfuckery is one of my favorite things.



( I'm Arielle, 18, and sometimes this is what I look like. )

I'm trying to track down two movies.

The first is a movie I watched as a child, in the early 90's. I believe it was set in Italy or England in the victorian times, and from the looks of it I would guess it was made in the 80's or maybe even 70's. It was about two kids, a teenage boy (skinny, dark hair/eyes) and his younger sister (preteen, long blonde hair) whose mother dies and who then go in search of their missing father. (I think he's been separated from the rest of the family for awhile, maybe to go to sea?) They end up witnessing a (very decrepit) old man being murdered, and later have to break into his coffin (I remember this scene vividly, since it scared me so much. The old man has started to decay and there are ants or some other kind of insect crawling all over his face.) They get caught up in a search for a treasure (I'm pretty sure it was a diamond.) and run across their dad, who is dark, bearded, and always dressed in black with a black cap. They end up in an abandoned church, and have to sneak through various tunnels and trap doors (one of which leads into an empty, spiderweb-strewn room, where the skeleton of a dead monk is sitting in a chair. I am pretty sure they end up knocking the skeleton over.) At the end they wind up with the treasure, and run into their dad again, but I don't believe there is any kind of happy reunion. (In fact, at the end I think they might have been running away from him.)

The other is a commercial for a movie that I never watched, but that was advertised all over TV at the time. This was also during the 90's, and was both brand new and pretty well-known. I only really remember one part of the commercial, but it was the most famous and most often shown. There was this young guy, totally bald, with asbolutely white skin dressed in dark clothes. (I think he was the main character, and had special powers.) He was sitting on a park bench with a normal looking girl. They started kissing, and as they kissed, began to float off the bench.

Any ideas?

EDIT: #2 is Powder. The jury is still out about #1, though.

I wore this to Artscape in Bawlmurrh today/yesterday (Saturday). It was totally adorable. Start off with a picture of Leroy!

So im trying to find this a thai tv show that i watched when i was younger. I think my parents used to rent it from an asian video rental shop on bootlegged vhs. The show is about four siblings(?), three boys and a girl; they each control one of the four elements (air, water, fire, and wind) and fought against evil ghosts. They wore traditional thai clothings and something i remember specifically are these golden ring bracelets, i believe they were magical and somehow helped with their quest. i think they could fly too, maybe on a magic carpet? And the evils that they fought against were like traditional folklore thai ghosts. 
 

A kid series i was shown on a regular basis in my third grade ESL class so this would have been like in 1996 or 97. It was a songs teaching series and had little skits to go with each song segments. Some of the songs that i can remember are purple people eater, theres a hole in my bucket, a song of peace and harmony, continental soldier, and one about a girl and her meatball that keeps rolling away from her.


TIA!

Fiction novel, had to do with this girl, probably in her late teens, who is convinced she is being abducted by/having contact with aliens on a regular basis.

She lives in a small town, I think. She's described as wearing baggy clothes, and hiding her face in hooded sweatshirts, but people still think she is very beautiful.

She becomes pregnant, and she's convinced she's pregnant with an alien baby.

I read this book probably 5 years ago, and I don't think it was new then, I also don't think it was terribly long, and it was paperback.

I remember nothing about the cover or the title...

Any help?

This is all I got out of it:

~It was played on a rock station
~It sounded like a French song
~It was a man singing
~In the chorus somewhere "Oooooooooh"

I hate when they don't tell you the band & song after it plays...I think it should be a new rule.

hey birlies.

( William, it was really nothing )

I've been looking for the title or any information about this poem for a while now... I google it occasionally but I never seem to get anything. :(

( More info behind the cut... )

Haii. I've not posted in here in forever! I've been traveling a little. Spent a week with family last month and have been staying with my best friend in PA for the past month.

recap.
I'm Elijah.People usually call me Eli and I'm 20.

I'm leaving Monday and will be up there for a month or so..

Edit-FOUND: "Key to the Treasure(Liza,Bill,and Jed Mysteries)" by Peggy Parish.


I used to read lots of mystery books for kids back in the 90's, like the Boxcar children series, the New Bobbsey Twins (lame, i know), etc.

I remember reading one childrens book in the 90's but possibly published in the 80's. The only things i remember about it is a girl goes to sleep thinking about a clue she found that day. I think it had something to do with a message written in numbers and she finally realizes that it corresponds with the alphabet (ex: 1=A,2=B,3=C and so on), and is able to decipher it.
( cut for more details )

I remember only 1 scene from there. The mess is about the ritual, when they wind round girls' legs, so that they wear small shoes. Because of that women can't walk when they are old.
So, one girl. She was sitting on a bench in a village. And some people showed her little shoes:
- Do you like them?
- I do.
- Then, we should wrap your legs so that you can wear them.
Then some woman (it seems like she was a foreigner) starts to shout at them, tries to explain the girl that this will harm her a lot; those people try to stop her, but the girl starts to doubt..

Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman. Episode "Life in Balance" #144 from season 6.

What is this from? Don't say GifTube. :P

edit: It's from Memories of Matsuko.

There was a book I read when I was younger that I can't for the life of me remember. The main character is a teenage girl, kind of awkward. She kept lists in the novel of things she liked/didn't like in a little green notebook, I think. The lists were in the story, and sometimes things would be crossed out. At one point, she wanted to convert to catholicism but doesn't because she'd have to go to confession...? At one point she talks about wanting to change her name because it's too long and it wouldn't fit on a t-shirt. Her name might be Anastacia? A-something...

I wish I remembered more! It has a slight Judy Blume feel to it, but I know it's not Judy Blume.

Any help would be great!

I think it was a book? About a boy who had a tear duct condition where he couldn't cry because it made his eyes bleed.

I know it's not a lot to go off, but any leads would be greatly appreciated.

I have the image of a weeping woman on film saying "I want nice things". Where is this from?

I'm trying to think of the name of a movie that is (I believe) Japanese. There's a queen who can't love any more because she chose to be rich when approached by a goddess as a little girl in the swamp. She was given two choices: to love and remain poor or to be rich and never have love. She chooses the latter. There are elemental tribes or something and people who can run really fast or fly. A servant ran so fast he broke the time barrier with her on his back and went back in time so that she could change her decision.

Honestly, it might not be Japanese. It's been a while since I've seen it and I can't remember clearly. Any thoughts?

Birls,
yet again I have disappeared off the face of the planet in regards to posting on the community. A quick wrap-up of everything that's been going on... Well I moved back home from college the first week of May and started back to my summer camp job early June. I've been working 40+ hours a week, starting at 8:30 every morning and ending past 5 every evening. It's pretty awesome because I work with kids and it's outdoors so I'm never bored.

Gearing up to get ready to move back to college late August and I'm really excited to go back. I'm actually looking for some advice in the hair department. I usually get it cut in a fohawk once a month, with the sides and back buzzed with a 3 and 3/4. I haven't gotten it cut in nearly two months so it's pretty shaggy and super long in the back. I was wondering if you birls thought I should get it cut the same as I usually do/let it grow into a shaggy look/get it cut short into a new hair style. For reference, here's a pic of what I usually get it cut as
