‘Australian Girl Asks Robert Pattinson To Grant First Kiss For Charity’
EmsCharityKiss was one of those bolt-out-of-the-blue ideas – the ones that creep up on you and won’t leave you alone until you act on them. But maybe I should tell you who I am before I tell you what that is.
As I write this, it’s one month before I turn 28. I’m Emjay, I’ve had depression for nearly ten years, and I’ve never been kissed.
Depression has been my worst enemy, best friend, protector, jailer, judge, jury and executioner. My cousins, almost 10 years my junior, have progressed further socially in their lives than I have. Someone seems to have pressed pause on my life somewhere along the line, and forgot to press play. It’s very, very difficult to explain depression to someone who hasn’t experienced it. It’s an insidious disease that affects every different facet of an individual. Every decision I’ve made in my young adulthood has ultimately been tainted by it. I haven’t married, forged a career, had a boyfriend or been kissed.
While chatting to a friend on Twitter one night recently, I made an offhanded comment about asking Robert Pattinson (Little Ashes, Twilight, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) to grant me my first kiss while I raised money for charity. What did I have to lose? This was the idea that wouldn’t leave me alone. The very next day, I shot my first YouTube video, ‘It Starts With A Crazy Idea’ and, like the title says, that’s where it started.
I wanted to raise money for an organisation that supported depression and mental illness, so I picked OneInFive Australia, a small non-profit organisation committed to raising funds for research and treatment. Luckily, they were very supportive of the idea and continue to encourage me. As attention has been growing, the media here in Australia have even picked up the idea and reported on it – focusing on the Never Been Kissed angle of course!
The support has been overwhelming – so many people have suffered depression, or cared for someone who suffers depression or other mental illnesses. So many people have been hidden away; fear stopping them from truly living instead of merely existing. My depression made me feel like I wasn’t worth anything. Who would want to be with someone who was so convinced they had nothing to give?
But why Robert Pattinson for my first kiss? The idea is always going to have detractors. But I admire him and am drawn to the underlying melancholy beneath his image. Sometimes his life seems to fit him as uncomfortably as mine fits me. I would be ecstatic if he said yes, grateful if he acknowledged it, and happy if he was at least flattered by it, because it’s my first kiss and it’s important to me!
It is a long shot. In a sea of the fangirl frenzy that surrounds him at the moment, it’s hard to stand apart and be different. It’s an incredible risk, but it’s really a journey that even up until this point has pushed me far out of my comfort zone. There’s no looking back, only forward. If what I’m doing inspires others to be honest then it’s all worth it. Being ’sick’ is okay. People will understand if you ask for help.
And if you wait this long for your first kiss? You might as well aim as high as you want to.

The Twilight Warriors $14.49 The Twilight Warriors is the engrossing page-turning saga of a tightly knit band of naval aviators who are thrust into the final-and most brutal-battle of the Pacific war: Okinawa. April 1945. The end of World War II finally appears to be nearing. The Third Reich is collapsing in Europe and the Americans are overpowering the once-mighty Japanese Empire in the Pacific. For a group of young pilots trained in the twilight of the war the greatest worry is that it will end before they have a chance to face the enemy. They call themselves Tail End Charlies. They fly at the tail end of formations stand at the tail end of chow lines and now they are catching the tail end of the war. What they don"t know is that they will be key players in the bloodiest and most difficult of naval battles-not only of World War II but in all of American history. The Twilight Warriors relives the drama of the world"s last great naval campaign. From the cockpit of a Corsair fighter we gaze down at the Japanese task force racing to destroy the American amphibious force at Okinawa. Through the eyes of the men on the destroyers assigned to picket ship duty we experience the terror as wave after wave of kamikazes crash into their ships. Standing on the deck of the legendary superbattleship Yamato we watch Japan"s last hope for victory die in a tableau of gunfire and explosions. Among the Tail End Charlies are men such as a twenty-two-year-old former art student who grows to manhood on the day of his first mission over Japan and his best friend a ladies" man and intrepid fighter pilot whose life abruptly changes when his Corsair goes down off the enemy shore. Another is a young Texan lieutenant who volunteers for the most dangerous flying job in the fleet-intercepting kamikazes at night over the blackened Pacific. Their leader is a charismatic officer who rises to greatness in the crucible of Okinawa. Directing the vast armada of sea air and land forces is a cast of brilliant and flawed commanders-from the imperturbable admiral and master of carrier warfare to the controversial soldier assigned to command the land forces. The fate of the Americans at Okinawa is intertwined with the lives of the "young gods"- the honor-bound Japanese airmen who swarm like killer bees toward the U.S. ships. The kamikazes are dispatched on their deadly one-way missions by a classic samurai warrior who vows that he will follow them to a warrior"s grave. The ferocity of the Okinawa fighting stuns the world. Before it ends the long battle will cost more American lives ships and aircraft than any naval engagement in U.S. history. More than simply the account of a historic battle The Twilight Warriors brings to life the human side of an epic conflict. It is the story of young Americans at war in the air and on the sea-and of their enigmatic fanatically courageous enemy. From the Hardcover edition. |

Of all the changes which the sea-vocation has witnessed none is so complete as the battle-ship’s armaments.

And all that my song is meant to say Is just what she did one long, lorg day,, With her own little self to play, with only, Yet ilever once felt the least bit latclg.Softly, drowsily, Out of sleep Into the world again Anns eyes peep Over the pictures Across the walls One little quivering Sunbeam falls. A thrush in the garden Seems to say, Wake, little Ann, Tis day, tis day Faint sweet breezes The casement stir, Breathing of pinks And lavender. At last from her pillow, With cheeks bright red, Up comes her round little TousIed head And out she tumbles From her warm bed. 5 Little birds hathe In the sunny dust. Whether the want Or not, they will. Seal and Walrus Arid Polar Bvar OIIV green icy Wash-tub share. Nor Hippopotamus ever His bath forgot. Out of his f1est The Elephant To squirt himself In his gloomy swamps. On crackling fins From thc deep sea fly Flying-fish into The air to dry. Silver Swans In shallows green Their dew-bespangled Pinions preen. And all day long Wash Duck and Drake In their duckweed pond – For washings salce. SO, in her lonesome, Slippety, bare, Elizabeth Anns Splash – splashing there And now from the watery Waves amonje Stands slooshing herself With that enormous sponge. |

At Home and Abroad; A Sketch-Book of Life, Scenery, and Men $21.51 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:IV. A YOUNG AUTHOR’S LIFE IN LONDON. I Reached London for the second time about the middle of March, 1846, after a dismal walk through Normandy, and a stormy passage across the Channel. I stood upon London Bridge, in the raw mist and the falling twilight, with a franc and A half in my pocket, and deliberated what I should do. Weak from sea-sickness, hungry, chilled, and without a single acquaintance in the great city, my situation was about as hopeless as it is possible to conceive. Successful authors in their libraries, seated in cushioned chairs and dipping their pens into silver inkstands, may write about money with a beautiful scorn, and chant the praise of Poverty—the “good goddess of Poverty,” as George Sand, making 50,000 francs a year, enthusiastically terms her— but there is no condition in which the Real is so utterly at variance with the Ideal, as to be actually out of money, and hungry, with nothing to pawn and no friend to borrow from. Have you ever known it, my friend? If not, I could wish that you might have the experience for twenty-four Lours, only once in your life. I remembered, at last, that during my first visit to Lon- lon, eighteen months previous, I had lodged a few nights t a chop-house opposite the Aldgate Church-yard. The price of a bed was ‘one shilling, which was within the compass of my franc and a half—and rest was even more to me than food. As I passed through the crowd towards Cheap- side and thence eastward to Aldgate, the lamps were lighted and the twilight settled into a drear, rainy night. In the lighted shops I saw joints of the dark crimson beef of Old England, hams, fish, heads of lettuce—everything fresh, succulent, and suggestive of bountiful boards. Men—the very porters and street-sweepers, even—were |

Chords And Discords $18.75 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:LOVE SONG Oft I soar above the shadows where no din of strife is heard, And I gather golden gleams of other days; I can hear thy name resounding in each note of passing bird, And each note is full of blessings and of praise. And the buds of life are blooming and all nature’s fair and sweet, And the chimes are bringing music o’er the lea ; But I’d give the world of beauties for one moment at thy feet. And to know thy heart is open unto me. I would gather all the blossoms from the gardens of the world To weave into a mantle for thy feet; I would gather all the jewels from the starry vault unfurled To deck thy gentle brow, my own, my sweet.A CAGED BIRD Poor caged bird, it were a shame To shut him in from his sweet dame; She sings heartbroken on the bough, I hear her saddened love song now. She calls from out the wind-tossed tree, It melts the stony heart in me; She calls from morn till set of Sun: “What harm has my lost lover done?” He beats his wings against the bars, And dreams of woodland slopes and stars, His airy world shut from his ken, He droops back on his perch again. Sweet springing grass and fields of hay, The leafy trees and gladsome day, The kingdoms of the flight of wing,— But naught for him save sorrowing. A pain shoots thro his pulsing heart, It breaks and breaks till it falls apart; He hides his grief and wraps his wrong In a bubbling burst of sorrow song. 0 pent-up grief! my heart doth know, 1 fain would fly but cannot go; I wait and dream of hills and stars Till unseen fingers break my bars. BY THE SEA Something in the mists of twilight Wafted from across the sea, Something like a voice of heaven Whispers sadly unto me.

D.H. Lawrence’s Italian Travel Literature and Translations of Giovanni Verga: A Bakhtinian Reading $52.95 Used – While travel literature, particularly the Italian travel literature of D. H. Lawrence – Twilight in Italy (1916), Sea and Sardinia (1921), and Etruscan Places (1927; 1932) – has received a great deal of attention in recent years, nobody has examined this work from a Bakhtinian viewpoint. This approach allows us a unique perspective as well as a new appreciation of both Lawrence and Mikhail Bakhtin.

Echo And Reverb $24.95 Echo and Reverb is the first history of acoustically imagined space in popular music recording. The book documents how acoustic effects–reverberation, room ambience, and echo–have been used in recordings since the 1920s to create virtual sonic architectures and landscapes. Author Peter Doyle traces the development of these acoustically-created worlds from the ancient Greek myth of Echo and Narcissus to the dramatic acoustic architectures of the medieval cathedral, the grand concert halls of the 19th century, and those created by the humble parlor phonograph of the early 20th century, and finally, the revolutionary age of rock ‘n’ roll. Citing recordings ranging from Gene Austin’s ‘My Blue Heaven’ to Elvis Presley’s ‘Mystery Train, ‘ Doyle illustrates how non-musical sound constructs, with all their rich and contradictory baggage, became a central feature of recorded music. The book traces various imagined worlds created with synthetic echo and reverb–the heroic landscapes of the cowboy west, the twilight shores of south sea islands, the uncanny alleys of dark cityscapes, the weird mindspaces of horror movies, the private and collective spaces of teen experience, and the funky juke-joints of the mind. |

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Krieg (German for “War”) is a black metal band from Somers Point, New Jersey in the United States of America. They play a low-fi, “raw” style, drawing influence from the Darkthrone-esque style of black metal and did not use synthesizers or folk instruments, in their recordings. The band formed in 1995, initially as Imperial, changing name to Krieg in 1997. With the only permanent member being Imperial (Neill Jameson), live members were drawn from an array of various bands, such as Nyktalgia, Nachtmystium, Forest of Impaled, Noctuary and Satanic Warmaster. In 2004 the band toured Europe with Demoncy and Abazagorath. In 2006 Krieg, with Noctuary as tour mates and backing band, toured the West Coast of the US, with added dates in Mexico. The band split up in 2006, and reformed once again in 2008 and played shows in L.A. and San Francisco. They have recently released a split and are working on a full-length. In 2005, Imperial joined the metal supergroup Twilight along with members of Leviathan, Xasthur, Nachtmystium, and Draguar. Imperial also plays in the crusty drone/doom metal project March into the Sea. Krieg also have numerous splits, demos and live recordings.

Fire on the Waters (Civil War at Sea Series #1) $0.01 The opening volume in a gripping new fictional series of the Civil War at sea, from the sailor and novelist who “knows what he is writing about when it comes to anything on, above, or below the water” (The New York Times Book Review). The year is 1861, and America shudders on the brink of disunion. Elisha Eaker, scion of a wealthy Manhattan banking family, joins the Navy against his father’s wishes. He does it as much to avoid an arranged marriage to his cousin, Araminta Van Velsor, as to defend the flag. As war looms, Eli boards the sloop of war U.S.S. Owanee. There he meets Lieutenant Ker Claiborne at his own moment of decision. Claiborne, Owanee’s executive officer, is an Annapolis graduate who’s seen action in the West Indies and the Africa Station on the Navy’s Anti-Slavery Patrol. Cool and competent in storm and battle, he now faces an agonizing choice between the Navy he loves and his native Virginia. Whichever road he takes, he’ll be called a traitor. Within days, Owanee is ordered on a desperate mission to relieve Fort Sumter, the last outpost of Union authority in the newly declared Confederacy. And in Manhattan, Araminta makes her own move for independence. So begins Fire on the Waters, a tale of honor, loyalty, and the hunger for freedom. With authentic nautical and historical detail, veteran storyteller David Poyer follows Eli, Araminta, Ker, and their loved ones and shipmates into a maelstrom of divided loyalties, bitter partings, stormy seas, governmental panic, political blundering, and finally the test of battle as the bloodiest and most divisive war in American history begins. Poyer’s deep, complex characters and vivid evocation of the heroic twilight of the Age of Sail will earn Fire on the Waters a place beside the work of Patrick O’Brian, Nicholas Monsarrat, and C. S. Forester. |

Human Ecology of Beringia $50 Twenty-five thousand years ago, sea level fell more than 400 feet below its present position as a consequence of the growth of immense ice sheets in the Northern Hemisphere. A dry plain stretching 1,000 miles from the Arctic Ocean to the Aleutians became exposed between northeast Asia and Alaska, and across that plain, most likely, walked the first people of the New World. This book describes what is known about these people and the now partly submerged land, named Beringia, which they settled during the final millennia of the Ice Age.Humans first occupied Beringia during a twilight period when rising sea levels had not yet caught up with warming climates. Although the land bridge between northeast Asia and Alaska was still present, warmer and wetter climates were rapidly transforming the Beringian steppe into shrub tundra. This volume synthesizes current research-some previously unpublished-on the archaeological sites and rapidly changing climates and biota of the period, suggesting that the absence of woody shrubs to help fire bone fuel may have been the barrier to earlier settlement, and that from the outset the Beringians developed a postglacial economy similar to that of later northern interior peoples.The book opens with a review of current research and the major problems and debates regarding the environment and archaeology of Beringia. It then describes Beringian environments and the controversies surrounding their interpretation; traces the evolving adaptations of early humans to the cold environments of northern Eurasia, which set the stage for the settlement of Beringia; and provides a detailed account of the archaeological record in three chapters, each of which is focused on a specific slice of time between 15,000 and 11,500 years ago. In conclusion, the authors present an interpretive summary of the human ecology of Beringia and discuss its relationship to the wider problem of the peopling of the New World. |

Immanuel’s Land, And Other Pieces $14.14 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:DYING ALONE. Twilight o’er the sea is fading Dull, dull and dead ; And the restless moon is wading Dim, dim o’erhead. In the cottage there is weeping, Raise soft the latch ! Anxious, fearful hearts are keeping Long, weary watch. On the bed a form is lying, Pain-tossed and pale: Tis the fisher’s child a-dying, List her sad wail! Father ! mother ! I am going— Where ? tell me where, Waves of darkness round me flowing, No star is there ! DYING ALONE. 21 Loving father ! brave, strong brother! Bold hearts at sea ; Gentle sister ! tender mother ! Oh ! die with me ! Oh for one to lean on only,— One hand to hold ! For the night is very lonely, And the stream cold. Ah ! the brave—the tender-hearted— They could not save ; For the line of death had parted, This side the grave. There was One that would have waded Close by her side ; One that would have cheered and aided, For He had died. He had plunged where gulfs yawned deepest, Trod places dim; Gained the shore where banks frowned steepest: Had she sought Him, Cloud and sea had then divided ‘Neath His strong rod,— He to golden rest had guided,— Bright calms of God. In the cottage there is weeping, Sob-laden breath; But the fisher’s child is sleeping Still, still in death. O’er the sea pale gleams are shifting, Winds wildly moan; While a soul is outward drifting All—all alone. UNDER THE TREE. 23 UNDER THE TREE, i Pet. it. 24. There falls a shadow over me, Through all my spirit stealing,— The shadow of a sombre tree ; Yet, in its gloom, is healing. The darkness that it casts to-day Shall melt in light to-morrow ; I love beneath its shade to stay— That dark, drear Tree of Sorrow. Its arms it stretches straig… |

Landsman $9.99 The land cannot restrain nineteen-year-old Jamie Drake who is nurturing a love affair with the sea. While this untamed beach kid lives on Chesapeake Bay, the blue-green waters constantly beckon beyond the dunes, summoning him to experience unforgettable nautical adventures. Jamie’s mother is concerned that he has grown into an angry and querulous young man who shows no respect for authority in any guise, but Jamie is just anxious to get out from under his parents’ unyielding and watchful influence. Five weeks from high school graduation, Jamie meets Christine Powers, a glamorous visitor who hates the ocean. Instantly infatuated, Jamie replaces Anny Flanagan, his longtime girlfriend with Christine-a choice unwisely made as Christine only sees Jamie as a way to punish her boyfriend. No sooner begun, their torrid affair ends chaotically when Christine deserts him. Rejected by Anny and in dire trouble with the school authorities, Jamie makes yet another hasty decision by daring to interfere with a jewel heist orchestrated by local mobsters. When his audacious plan goes awry, Jamie strives to elude the mobsters in a twilight flight across the angry waters of the Chesapeake Bay, testing his naïve certainty that he will never die at sea. |
