I need a summary of...
...Princess Mononoke, as I'm doing a (personal, private-use) manga based on it so that I can have it without the "gods" stuff as I really liked the artwork, characters, and storyline.
So, uhm, could anyone give me brief summaries of the parts in it? I know it's asking a lot, but my memory's being a bit foggy...also I forget some of the names, so those would be nice as well.

Money, get away
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay
And all and all you're just another brick in the wall
Shoutin’ in the street gonna take on the world some day
But Bismallah will not let me go
Because I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
Bright eyes burning like fire
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids
Who will love a little Sparrow
Who's traveled far and cries for rest
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all
And if the band youre in starts playing different tunes
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you!

Im not sure if I know exactly what you are looking for HofS, but I will give it a shot.
Event Synopsis of Princess Mononoke:
Ashitaka is in his village, and goes to check out the watch tower
Old man and Ashitataka see something in the woods
It’s the demon boar Nago
The Boar chases after Ashitaka and his Red Elk Ekul (I think that’s his name)
The Boar begins to chase Ashitaka’s sister, and he is forced to kill it
The Boar touches him, cursing him. But his body is pure and the evil can not completely posses him immediately.
The Curse will eventually take over his body and kill him so he sets out to find where the boar came from in the hopes of breaking the curse.
Ashitaka and Ekul come across a village being attacked by samurai mercenaries. He kills a few as he flees the area, but you get to see the beginning of the power of the evil curse, as it gives him an incredible strength and power but still fails to corrupt his heart.
Ashitaka continues on and meets Jago (something like that) a monk who helps him, but his motives are always for selfish reasons. Ashitaka leaves Jago and continues on.
Mean while, the people of Iron Town are brining a shipment of goods through the mountains when they are attacked by the wolf gods and San. Lady Hiboshi (the leader of Iron Town) manages to wound the wolf goddess _____.
Ashitaka comes through the woods to a river bed and finds some men who were knocked off the cliff in the pervious nights attack. He helps them and brings them home through the forest of the Spirit of the Forest. The little tree spirits leading them all the way.
He also meets San at the river bed, but she tells him to go away.
They reach a holy place where Ashitakas curse attacks his body again, but he perseveres.
Oh-yah, he sees the Spirit of the Forest from a distance here.
They finally make their way to Iron Town, where Ashitaka is met by a thankful crowd and a suspicious head of the guards (sorry I don’t remember his name). He also meets Lady Hiboshi here and basically sees their side of the story. Both the good and bad that the humans of Iron Town represent. Compassion (as Hiboshi has on the Lepers and Call Girls) and relentless progress (with a disregard for nature).
You now learn of Jagos real purpose of being in the land. He wants to kill the Spirit of the Forest for the Emperor (he thinks its head will make his immortal or something).
That night San and the wolves attack, but San is left alone to fight in the city. Ashitaka tries to get both sides to stop, but Lady Hiboshi and San end up fighting anyway. Ashitaka steps in and subdues both of them and attempts to leave with San. Once again he becomes angry and the curse surfaces with its power Ashitaka sustains a mortal bullet wound and lifts the Town gate (which takes 10 normal men to lift) and walks out of the Town with San.
San wakes moments later to find Ashitaka passed out and the Wolves return and try to kill him. San stops them and bring Ashitaka to the holy place (with Ekul following all the way) and basically has compassion on him and asks the Spirit of the Forest to heal Ashitaka, which he does. (by taking the life of a small sapling and giving it to Ashitaka, but the curse remains)
Enter the Boars and lord Okoto (the big gray boar). Ashitaka now learns the side of the forest spirits. Their determination to protect the forests they love, and the uncontrollable hate that exists in their hearts. See the contrast, one cares for man while the other cares for nature and both care little for the other.
Now Ashitaka has seen both sides of the conflict and now must find a way to bring balance to both the humans and the forest spirits.
Time for the big battle.
Jago and his men try to lure out Okoto and his army by burning trees and stuff. This of course enrages the forest spirits and they attack head on right into a trap. The people of Iron Town have left to help Jago fight the boar, but the Samurai mercenaries decide to take the opportunity to attack Iron Town. The woman and the Lepers defend the town while Ashitaka sets out to find Lady Hiboshi (who has agrees to hunt the Spirit of the Forest with Jego, hoping that it will end their trouble with the forest spirits) so she will return to defend her town.
Ashitaka also leans that the Okoto was wounded very bad in the battle and San is bringing him to the holy place to see the Spirit of the Forest. Jago’s men find San and Okoto on their way and enrage Okoto to the point that his heart is completely full of hatred and fear that he is possessed by the curse and becomes a demon, trapping San.
Okoto charges forward to the holy place with San caught in the curse. At the holy place he is confronted by the big wolf spirit (whats her name!?!?!?) and Ashitaka. They save San and the Spirit of the Forest appears and takes Okoto’s life.
All would be ok, accept that Jago and Hiboshi are hiding near by and after a short struggle, manage to sever the Spirit of the forests head from its body, unleashing a terrible monster thingy that is basically the opposite of the Spirit of the Forest in that is kills anything it touches.
To make the story shorter, they get the head back, and Ashitaka gives it back the Spirit of the Forest. The Spirit Dies, the forests begins to grow again, Hiboshi returns to rebuild Iron Town, San returns to protect the forest, Ashitaka is cured of the curse, but each party has begun to understand that they need to live WITH one another and not struggle against each other.
The End.
I hope that was kind of what you were looking for. Sorry I didnt have all the names right.

Depend on it. God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply. He is too wise a God to frustrate His purposes for lack of funds, and He can just as easily supply them ahead of time as afterwards, and He much prefers doing so.

[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Wow. . . I was gonna give a summary, but after that precis by Kaji-- I dare not.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Hehe, thank you sooooo much, Kaji! 
I think you got the names right (the "wolf goddess" is Moro, when I first saw it I thought they said, "THERE'S ORO!!!!" 
)...even if you didn't, I can always check.
I don't think I will post the manga as it's going to be a load of pages (
), but I can post a picture of Ashitaka that I drew some other time...
Again, eternal thank-yous! *thank you thank you thank you...*
