I remember Tuck Everlasting! I also remember that she decided that the frog should live forever instead of her. (Spoiler in White.)
I remember when the guy shot himself and he came back to life.
Well, her decision was noble, although when I was a kid, I was like "WHAAA?"

tee hee, I'm listening to a Bluegrass tribute to Barenaked Ladies. "One Week" in bluegrass is hysterical.

Shadow - (highlight:) While I dislike it because it meant that she left Jesse and didn't get to be with him, I also agree with it considering how miserable the Tucks were with the way their life was.

Because it's immensely entertaining, and oddly addicting. =3
I originally got it because it had the song "If I had a Million Dollars" which I wasn't able to find anywhere on eMusic except for the bluegrass album.

ohman, tuck everlasting. i have it.
i don't even remember if i read the book, but i do remember watching the movie.
but i remember absolutely nothing about the plot.
yay, my brain fails! 8D

*laughs* I think I remember seeing the movie too. I don't remember anything about it either. Don't feel bad.

I forgot my keyboard was rubbish. *bashes away at it*

I spent a stupid amount of time travelling the entire length of the country to go for a silly university interview. I can't read in the car without making myself sick so I listened to the radio instead. I did have a bit of a Good Omens fangirly squee going South on the M25 but when we were stuck behind two accidents on the way home I wasn't so pleased. Six and a half hours to get home. -_-

Highlight for plot (major, major spoilers):
Winnie, a young girl in some time that is long passed decides that her life sucks because she feels stifled by her family, so she decides to leave the yard (gasp) and wander off into the woods that her family owns (rebel rebel!). As she's walking along, she comes across (differs in the movie and the book. I remember the movie best since I saw it a ton, so I'm going with that) Jesse Tuck, a cute boy a few years (more than a few years in the book, but whatevs) older than her. He's drinking from a spring, but won't let her drink from it, even though she's thirsty from walking. Something happens, or his brother just freaks out or something and he appears out of nowhere and grabs Winnie and runs off, because he thinks she knows her secret. Whether or not Jesse told her already, I don't remember. The secret, by the way, is that the spring grants immortality and they all drank from it a long time ago. So, anyway, Jesse chases them down and is like "NOO, DON'T BE STEALIN HER SHE WAS CUTE." and his brother's like "fuk off jesse." and is telling his parents that they have to do something with her because she knows that they're there, and no one should because they're in hiding blah blah. She stays with them for a few weeks and falls in love with Jesse and really likes the family and so on. A guy had been tracking Jesse and his brother because he had figured out their secret somehow and he's still trying to find them. He shows up at Winnie's house and hints to her frantic family that he might be able to find her, so they hire him to. He finds the Tuck's house and is in the process of taking a terrified Winnie back (with a gun to her head, mind you), when the mother of the family kills him. She's found and taken to jail for murder, and Winnie is taken back to her parents. The boys devise a plan to get her out, and Jesse sneaks into Winnie's room at night to enlist her help. Except, unlike Edward Cullen, he doesn't just stand there like a fucking creeper, he wakes her up. In fact, there's no forced entry, he knocks on the window and she lets him in. ANYWAY...
They bust the mother figure out of jail, but they have to leave town. Jesse tells Winnie to drink from the spring to become immortal, and then he'll come back for her a long time from now, when everyone else has forgotten.
Winnie debates over whether she should do it or not. While she was staying with the family, the father had talked to her about how miserable an eternal life is, comparing it to "rocks stuck at the bottom of the stream, unable to move on" or something like that. He was played by William Hurt, by the way, which is pretty cool.
So it skips to modern day times where Jesse rides into town on a motorcycle. Because apparently it takes about a hundred years for anyone to forget about his family. He wanders around in the woods aimlessly as if Winnie will just so happen to be in those woods when he finds her gravestone which has something like "cherished mother, loving wife" on it. Basically, she had a happy life without him. Jesse's all ;-; and the movie ends.

I remember Tuck Everlasting! I loved both book and movie. It was so sweet and I cried. But I was like oober young when I read and saw it.

@ Cherry - the Book is a little different. But it is kinda sad that Jesse's all like :cry: , but seriously,
unless she were like Bella and wanted to be immortal/vampire, he should've been more understanding that she'd want to live her life as a mortal.

i would totally take immortality. -cause im lame like that

I've nearly finished Wuthering Heights, yay! My 3rd book in my challenge and I think I'm pretty much on track. <3

I need to buy some more books though. :P

Initially it would be cool, but I'd think that after a while, it would get old and I would wish that I could die.

Same. But I got it on DVD, so that's why I remember it so well. I've got to add it both to my list of movies to watch and books to read.

I think he was understanding. He seemed like he would have been. I mean, it's hard to tell since he didn't say anything. But just because he understands doesn't mean he wouldn't be sad. I mean, he was waiting around for 100 years. Even if he figured that she'd pick what she did, there'd still be a part of him hoping that whole time.

Me too, probably... I'm just like that when I'm in love. I'd do anything to be with them.

dude. i would chose it because then I could think of tons of things to do and I wouldn't have to worry about my business or anything I pick up will go in the wrong. And then there are all the ways to die and how many people I can have woohoo with while im immortal. And then in the end I think I would beg god to kill me.

xDD
Jessieomer: immortal sex fiend. xDD

i totally lol'd at seeing that. It really made me laugh so hard my gran looked at me funny -reveals sexy lingerie under her cape- maybe thats why ive been questing lingerie xD

:drool:
I really wanna read Tuck everlasting noww.

Reeeeead it.

I VANT TO SEX YOU UPP -goes all vampirey on- o.o i think i had too much sugar. -.-;;

Butbutbut I have other thiings to reeead fiirst~

,_, and, who's the author?

... xD @ jessie.

I don't know...I'm more of the opinion that the reason why life is precious, is that any moment can be the very last. Beauty does not last forever; if it did, it wouldn't be as appreciated. When things just last forever, there is a point where you would wish for an ending.
Personally, whenever I am given no limits at all, I can't be creative. It's strange. Most artists like no limits; but I need limits, just so I can go beyond them.
So, if I were to explain it better, I am more like the X-Men character who needs the lighter to manipulate fire. He cannot create fire, but he can mold it and strengthen it. But he needs that spark first.
Theoretically speaking-
If I lived forever, I would really just end up playing video games forever. If I can't die, I don't have to eat, and if I don't have to eat, then I don't have to expel waste because there would be none.
Realistically, I would become bored and destructive over vast amounts of time. The world is better off if I don't live forever. :sweat:

Mmm.. I remember Tuck Everlasting. : D
It was on our summer reading list in sixth grade. xD
We watched the movie too, and my friend almost cried when it turned out we were watching the old one, not the Disney one. xD

Natalie Babbitt, Rainy. : D

Edit: Second for Jenova's "speech". : D

I would just ...-trails off to think of something better to say than what she wanted- explore my limitations. I mean just because you are immortal doesn't mean you do't have your own limits. I bet it still hurts to feel that you are hungry or if you mutilate yourself or whatnot. There has to be some pain involved. And then you would wonder if you instantly healed after that so its like I could easily be a virgin forever. xD >.>

because your immorality would always take you back to the moment you became it. So if you were a virgin then boy i bet it would hurt every time you had sex because it would revert back to its virgin selfness xD -is such a perv-

I'd certainly welcome the possibility of immortality from Tuck Everlasting. :3
..but only at like, age 23 or so and have already found a life-long committed friend or something.. x]

Though the thought of living 'til/after the apocalypse (or just when the sun explodes)..
-shiver-

I'd probably end up like that little toad at the end.
-runs in front of an accelerating jet-

Toad? What toad?
