So this is like the first night in ages that I managed to get on the computer. I am probably not going to be 'active' for a while cos I have the most HUGE coursework deadlines to meet and as much as I hate doing this I really have to limit myself as to how much time I spend doing work I need to do i.e. feckin long essays, as opposed to work I want ( Read more... )

England is doing better that the USA, so take pleaseure in that. (See my post from yesterday for an oil rant.)

I hear you about the weather, though. I used to live in Seattle, Washington and the weather is exactly the same. I one went 48 days without seeing the sun.

I just looked at your oil rant and I agree. No one seems to understand the way we are bleeding ourselves dry. I think the latest figure I heard was it will take 200 years for our natural sources to pretty much completely run out.

Your poor father that day!! Sadly, shit like that will happen more and more!

I know it is madness. Just a shame really. What is the world coming to...
