5.A modern-day love story of a man seeing the girl of his dreams across a New York subway train and tracking her down over the Internet has failed to have a fairytale ending with the relationship over.
For Web designer Patrick Moberg,then 21,from Brooklyn,it was love at first sight when he saw a woman on a Manthttan train last November.But he lost her in the crowd so he set up a website with a sketch(素描)picture to find her-www.Nygirlofmydreams.com.
Unbelievably in a city of 8 million people,it only took Moberg 48 hours to find the woman,with his phone ringing non-stop and email box overflowing.New Yorkers took pity on the subway Romeo and joined his hunt.
The mysterious girl was named as Camille Hayton,from Melbourne,Australia,who was working at the magazine Black Book and also lived in Brooklyn.One of her friends saw the sketched picture on the Web site and recognized her.
But after finding each other,appearing on TV and getting international press,the couple took their romance out of the public eye,with Moberg closing down the Web site and with both refusing to make any more comments-until now.
Hayton told Australian newspaper The Sunday Telegraph that she dated Moberg for about two months but it just didn't work out.
"I say we dated for a while but now we're just friends,"Hayton,now 23,told the newspaper.Hayton said she is still recognized about three times a week on the streets of Manhattan as"that girl"and the question is always the same:"So what happened?"
"I think the situation was so intense that it linked us,"she said,adding,"it linked us in a way that you could mistake,I guess,for being more romantic than it was.I don't know.But I wanted to give it a go so didn't wonder what if,what if?"
Hayton told The Sunday Telegraph that she is enjoying single life in New York,keeping busy with acting classes,working in two clothing stores.Last week she had a small role as a waitress in the long-running daytime soap As the World Turns.
"I just can't believe it happened.It feels like a long time ago,"said Hayton.Moberg,however,was still refusing to comment on the relationship.

13.When I was fifteen,I announced to my English class that I was going to write and illustrate my own books.Half the students sneered.The rest nearly fell out of their chairs laughing."Don't be silly,only geniuses can become writers,"the English teacher said,"And you are getting a D this semester."I was so humiliated(羞辱) that I burst into tears.
That night I wrote a short sad poem about broken dreams and mailed it to the Capri's Weekly newspaper.To my astonishment,they published it and sent me two dollars.I was a published and paid writer.I showed it to my teacher and fellow students.They laughed."Just plain dumb luck,"the teacher said.I tasted success.I'd sold the first thing I'd ever written.That was more than any of them had done and if it was just dumb luck,that was fine with me.
During the next two years I sold dozens of poems,letters,jokes and recipes.By the time I graduated from high school,with a C minus average,I had scrapbooks filled with my published work.I never mentioned my writing to my teachers,friends or my family again.They were dream killers and if people must choose between their friends and their dreams,they must always choose their dreams.
I had four children at the time,and the oldest was only four.While the children slept,I typed on my ancient typewriter.I wrote what I felt.It took nine months,just like a baby.
A month later Crying Wind,the title of my book,became a best seller,was translated into fifteen languages and Braille and sold worldwide.I appeared on TV talk shows.I traveled from New York to California and Canada on promotional tours.My first book also became required reading in native American schools in Canada.
People ask what college I attended,what degrees I had and what qualifications I have to be a writer.The answer is:"None."I just write.I'm not a genius.I'm not gifted and I don't write right.To all those who dream of writing,I'm shouting at you:"Yes,you can.Yes,you can.Don't listen to them."I don't write right but I've beaten the odds.Writing is easy,it's fun and anyone can do it.Of course,a little dumb luck doesn't hurt.
