What do you think of my "poem"? I wrote it when I was inspired by my imagination around 4 in the morning:
In a world of phantom is where I walk;
A world the shadow of my mind has composed
Where the night sky blows extraordinary hue in it,
and where the stars shine down their brightest
Where my humming tunes and wind cast a spell behind me,
making every rotted flower blossom, and every tall tree grow its bright, red apples
I fall at this blanket of pure, green grass
Smelling the caramel scent in the warm air surrounding me
Listening to the waterfall drop into its own mist,
Watching the fireflies float around above me
And so I pull the biggest dandelion off the ground beside me, blowing its white, dusty petals into the air,
Letting time fly by…never wanting to leave this dreamland.
It’s really beautiful. I really like the whole theme, like being in a dream land. Very well done!
Rose reached up for the ruby apple on the high tree branch.
The basket hanging off her elbow had a pile of fresh apples that went up to the brim and beyond yet Rose thought that one or maybe two more would make her collection for tonight’s pie complete. She didn’t notice that, as she wavered on her tiptoes and jerked her elbow when she made a jump for the teasing fruit, the apple on the top of the pile was slightly shaking.
Swearing in Goblin, Rose went back down the yellowy green hill she was on, ran up and bounded for the apple. She missed, fell, and the apples she’d already collected toppled everywhere. Rose got up, faltered a little in her steps, placed her foot on one apple and fell down again, hitting her head on a sharp rock sticking out of the ground. She cried out and wept.
Munch, munch, munch.
Rose stopped. She rubbed away her tears, sat up and looked around.
She sniffed and picked up a smudged apple. Rose rubbed it with her pink patterned sleeve but found that there was a horrible brown bruise on it. Rose thought about the apple-pie, the pie that mother had been waiting to bake ever since they got here. She thought how expectant her mother would then be to have a complete set of perfect red apples and then feel sad, disappointed, when she found that one apple, that her own daughter, had collected, was ugly and bruised and soft. Rose cried again.
Munch, munch, munch.
She shot up, caught off-guard this time. Somebody was here. She spun around slowly, her eyes darting to every detail in the area. She saw the tree with the slender trunk, the beautiful sandy bush lying next to it that was conjoined to an even more beautiful rocky hill; the bush crawled steadily up it, interweaving with every crack and joint of the stones, before gradually shrinking down into a yellow patch of grass. In height, as it sat next to the tree-trunk, the bush was taller than Rose and wider than three copies of her fat father side-by-side.
Rose shrugged but hurried when she bent down to pick up the apples. When she had come to the last one she saw that the pile only reached to the brim. Thinking this as extremely odd, Rose looked around: there were no more apples left on the floor.
She raised her eyebrow, turned away from the tree, bush and rocky hill, carefully placed two apples on the floor, and pretended to sob into her hands.
Munch, munch, mu-
She jumped around, just in time to hear the ending of the last ‘munch’ and saw a flash of blue before it disappeared into the bush. Rose puffed out her chest and swallowed her worry of the apple-pie or her safety, thinking that, if she survived whoever or whatever was in the bush, she’d be classed as a hero and idol by her would-be star-struck little sister and jealous older brother. She grinned at the thought of it and pushed a hole into the branches and leaves.
Rose jumped back, screaming.
A big black eye wtih a furry blue background, was staring at her. It wasn’t blinking; Rose trembled.
Her heart beat rapidly and Rose couldn’t recover her breath, however she managed to in the end when the eye’s lids flickered and moved to look at the basket. A grumbling noise came from it.
A paw the size and width of a baby dolphin crept out from under the bush, elongated and edged towards the basket. Rose, overcoming her fears for the second time, took this chance to feel it. The fur was soft, thick and warm, like how her bed-covers would feel when she’d been sleeping in them for the night. She never wanted to lift her hand off its paw. She felt her way down to the shining claws, like the ones she’d see on a dog, noticing how slender and perfectly curved and pointed they were. The paw was long, longer than the tall apple-tree’s trunk.
Then it snatched the basket handle and swooped back under the bush.
“HEY!” yelled Rose, lunging forward. Her hands caught the basket just in time but she heard, in agony, every apple being eaten: munch, munch, munch! Munch, munch, munch!
The basket was pushed back through and Rose held it to her chest. The force of the pull she and the paw both had on it was so great, that Rose rolled backwards. She threw the basket away and rushed around the tree and bush to meet the strangest sight that she had ever seen.
The giant paw belonged to a giant creature with a blue body that was enveloped in so many masses of long fur that it’d be impossible to make out its true form. The creature had a thick walrus-moustache that covered its mouth but Rose could clearly see a mound bulging out on each side of its body above the moustache, which she thought were its cheeks, and she suspected that the creature hadn’t finished eating the apples yet and had only stuffed them in for a quick escape, but it wasn’t as quick as Rose.
It turned to Rose with a look of pure innocence, she thought, and she scowled. Its cat-like ears flicked up in surprise when Rose began to shout at it.
“You better sick-up them apples, right now, or I’m telling!” she demanded.
The creature leaned back then let out a sharp regurgitating noise. Rose cried out in pain when an apple-core, drowned in orange-coloured slobber, struck against her forehead. Rose fell back and, even though she hated it, she felt herself beginning to cry.
The loudness of her tears caught the creature’s attention. It stared at her for a minute as she sat, rubbing her eyes and wailing with a red mark below her brown fringe, then glanced at the apple-tree. Its paw rose up from under the layers and layers of fur and it plucked an apple, lowering it to Rose. Rose stopped crying and stared at the apple’s blurry skin. It was bruised, but as nature intended; still, Rose cried, shaking her head.
The creature stared at her again and, feeling its stomach growl, a red wide tongue slid down from the moustache and slurped up the apple, and spat out its core to the side.

Thankyou! and Happy February!

Hi, I have been dreaming constantly of fallen apple trees. I am in my grandparents house. And in my dream, its as if a storm has happened which has rooted these trees (I never see the storm). Now, in the front yard, there are fallen trees with red, ripe apples on them and loads of them (like each branch has like 10 apples). So I go and pick the fruit off the fallen tree and put it in baskets. I even taste the fruit and its delicious.
In my dreams, I see other fruit trees falling too, and collecting its fruit (i think mulberry) but I never remember them. I just remember the apple trees.
Any ideas? (and no,I am not sad or anything during the dream. More like a matter-of-fact collecting apples)
I should also mention that my grandparent’s house is in a part of the world where apples dont grow. SO I am somewhat surprised at finding apples in their yard as well.
woahh newton
I’m wearing this amazingly bold red wedding dress this fall, and i’d love to figure out a way to accent this dress with black somehow. it’s got beading/sequins on the bodice and in the gathers of the pick up skirt and train. the beads are currently pink and I thought about taking them off and attempting to sew on black ones. but does anyone else have any ideas? I’ve also got a custom feather headpiece with black and red feathers. black is the main color of the wedding, with me in red. help!! 
here are some links to a few pictures of this dress only but in white. mine is an apple red color.

I’ve decided to add some very low resolution pics (due to taking them with my phone) of my actual dress for those who might want to see I have to say that I’m very surprised at the instant response I received and I thank you all. I hope I hear from more of you. just to be clear, the dress that was originally linked is the exact style of my dress, not the color. I also have to say that I am very much a non-traditional bride that has no intention of having white in my wedding at all. I thank you though for your opinions. thanks again and keep those ideas coming!

As a professional seamstress who has designed and created wedding gowns with beading, I can tell you that taking certain beads off a dress is risky. You see, the beading is often applied using a common thread. So, if you cut off the thread to the pink beads, you are essentially cutting the thread to the whole beaded design and beads of all colors will be falling off your dress if they are not independently secured prior to cutting threads to remove certain beads. This could be a nightmare and backfire, big time.
Keep the beading as is. Go and select some black beads and just add them to the dress in strategic places. This way you do not disturb the integrity of the existing beads and can customize the beading by adding black beads to the dress. The bodice has plenty of space to interject beads within the existing beading pattern.
You can do this and be successful. Copy the bodice photo on your printer. With a black pen, draw beads within the beaded design to see how it will look and so you can come up with a plan before threading a beading needle.
Your dress is beautiful. The pin up design looks so much better in a color other than white because in white, it looks like some sort of topping on a dessert. But, not in red. Your red dress is stunning.
It was late when Carorra had finished working in her mothers garden. For hours she had picked up apples that had fallen to the ground, her mother said that she was going to make apple jam, and so she needed as much apples as she could get. Carorra had gathered up two full baskets of the red apples. She had eaten a few of them in the process of the gathering, but she could not object to another juicy red apple. Placing both baskets on the green grass that was freshly cut, Carorra picked an apple to her liking. The apples weren’t very big, in fact they were pretty small. She took a big bite and chewed slowly, enjoying the sweet and bitter taste of the fruit.
Good but a bit wordy and unstructured.
As someone’s already pointed out, it should be "mother’s garden" and "as many apples".
You use ‘apple(s)’ 3 times in one sentence, and you don’t need to say "for hours" as you’ve already said that it was late when she stopped working, suggesting that she’d been working for a long time.
I think you should think about the placement of the sentences. "Carorra had gathered up…" could be put after the first sentence, with "that had fallen to the ground" on the end. A semi colon would link in the jam "her mother wanted to make jam" So the whole thing would read "She had gathered two full baskets of red apples that had fallen to the ground; her mother wanted to make jam."
"She had eaten…" could be cut, and you use too many adjectives; "on the green grass that was freshly cut," It sounds better (to me) as "on the freshly cut grass".
Instead of saying "…, in fact they were rather small" You could describe them a bit more, adding in a bit more information other than size, because both parts of the sentence say the same thing.
These are only suggestions 
Ok so I have had my 120GB Ipod for 2 years now and after a rough night of a party (where it may have gotten a little crushed in my pocket but not falling apart or hearing any rattling inside) i turned it on to find it not playing any songs, I decided to do the Menu Select trick to reset it but it came up with a big red X telling me to visit the apple site.
I visited said site to find no methods working as no matter what I try it still does th Big Red X and will not let it connect to the computer, there is also some alarm beeping coming from within the Ipod itself.
I am contemplating buying a new one because it simply turns off when the Red X is left for too long and it is pretty much out of battery now, and charging probably wont help it. Any suggestions?
Hi. It means there is a fault with the hardware / disk meaning you will need to get it repaired by Apple. To do this, you can visit the ‘Genius Bar’ at your local Apple Store or Authorised Apple Reseller.
It costs a lot, unless you have AppleCare.
They don’t fit, when I try, they either fall out or when I take them out, my ears hurt so much they turn red. I can’t stand it! I think they are such a horrible design. They are made of hard plastic, horrible things.
Has this ever happened to you? Why is this?
This is because the are not earplugs they are ear phones. the design is much traditional. Now a days you are getting the earplugs (like Sony Ericsson’s) with less price. Choose the set which offers you to adjust the size of the plug
Try these model they easily fit into your ear

-(in the first color apple)
Easy 10 points! Thanks
well at time is the wedding? for a morning reception its best to use lighter colours.but since u have brown eyes and brown hair and if you are daring you can try out some darker shades. use a dark brown+black or light brown+black eye shadow at the corner of the eye. and below ur eyebrow use a metallic silver or bronze.
use a hint of bronzer if u like and also some blush as well(really fair skin-pinkish blush , tan skin-brownish pink blush)
use lots of mascara and use a eye lash curler.BUT remember NOT to over do. too much is not going to be nice at all.
go light with the lips.since the eyes are highlighted alot.
and um ya thats about it i guess. oh and use concealer or something to cover up any blemishes,spots or whatever.
hope i helped

Hi, the links not working for me, probably because I’m in the UK.
I think there’s two options you could choose from, either a neutral look - Flawless skin, neutral eyes, blush and a pink/coral lipstick/gloss with a golden undertone.
Or you could do the classic pin-up look - Flawless skin, flicked black eyeliner, very light blush, and statement red lips.
