Hello. I thought I'd return the favour. Ultraviolence in the bible? Nasty.

Well...errm..I was wondering why the other forum had no responses, so I thought I'd check it out. I found this link, but this doesn't seem to be all that much more active...

Explain to me why it is that you are commiting the entire works of Raymond Carver to memory.

And his reaction was??

And stop boasting, Possum! Whenever _I_ leave _I_ don't get a huge backlog! smiley - smiley I answered "how are you" in one down, I don't want to count the rest, so I'll ask the question back to you. How are _you_ now that your essays are finally finished?

He was quite impressed but he knows i do watch a lot of sci-fi and i helped him(and many more on the british sci-fi channel)with info on many shows it was him that told me about this site but i don't think he is on here.
We did all meet up at a bar*in London last year and i might be going down again next month.
*pages bar is a star trek bar.

I'm fine - sort of. Had a bit of a bust up with a close friend, but apart from that I'm good - getting ready for my end-of-year exams. Yay.

I didn't mean to boast. I can't help it if I'm a wonderful, intelligent, charismatic, brilliant guy, can I?

Just kidding!!! smiley - winkeye

Sorry about the bust-up.

And, speaking of boasting, it is so nice hearing other people talk about end-of-the-year exams, since I've been finished with them for almost a month. smiley - smileysmiley - smileysmiley - smiley Good luck on them!

Oh, is *this* where everybody's been lately?

I saw the link, Possum, but I'm in too many forums with you and you alone to begin with anyway... smiley - smiley

*pause*

Might as well add another to the list. smiley - winkeye

I guess so...Is this number 6???

Anyway, I expect riveting conversation from all concerned from now on. I put a lot of effort into setting up this forum...well...no, I didn't, but still....

How is everyone?

I like Raymond Carver.

Actually, that's not the reason. I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

Something like 6. Where else can you have 6 very different conversations with the same person at the same time? smiley - smiley

No riveting conversation from me today... I've got to reply to the other five, plus a bunch of others.

Adieu, mes amis...

Well, I guess it's up to me to provide the riveting conversation, then smiley - smiley

I'm pretty happy. I just came back from a fishing trip - no interest in fishing, but I was with some really neat people, so it was fun - and there were really pretty beaches and we found some great shells. Now that we're home, we've found The Full Monty on television, from the very beginning - Mom's currently lending her copy to a friend of hers. In fact, the friend who took us on the fishing trip, and whose boat took us to the islands with the lovely beaches. smiley - smiley So there's my two bits' worth. Do with it what you will.

Glad you liked the fishing trip you will find the most of the best times are with good company it makes the good times better if there shared with friends.

I know it's funny; I saw it when it first came out (in the US, that is.). My mom took me to the theater and watched it with me. She also took me to see The Birdcage when it came out (I don't remember how old I was then; somebody tell me the year and I can). From this you can conclude either that my mother is a horrible mother, which I don't think is true, or that I am a rather unusual kid, which I do think is true (not at all to seem conceited! smiley - smiley)

Thank you. smiley - smiley

And if it helps, people I know often forget my age as well. Apparently, I look older than I am as well as acting older than I am, quite without meaning to. This past schoolyear I think I was the second-youngest person in the school, people in my grade turning sixteen all around me, yet people were always surprised to find out my age. Especially adults. And the question that invariably followed such a revelation was, "So, what grade did you skip?" smiley - smiley It would be sorta nice to be able to say, none, simply to see the reactions, but I have to tell the truth smiley - smiley Also, it's a great help getting into movies while I'm away at school and my mother can't escort me smiley - smiley That's nice.

I'm just the opposite, I'm actually a year older than all of my "class"mates (meaning my graduating class, 2001), because of a little bizarre psychological foul-up when I was five. I was so incredibly *shy* that the school psychologist couldn't figure out whether or not I needed another year of schooling to, er, suppliment kindergarten, or whether I should have just been moved to the next grade. Needless to say, the first happened, and I am now cursed with the akwardness of being a year- or more- older than almost all of my friends. But I guess I honestly count it as good... if I hadn't had an extra year of schooling stuck in there, I wouldn't have met any of my best friends, or ever had any of the wonderful memories I do of my school years (plus one, I still have one more year). I will stop before I get too awful sappy, now... *wipes away a tear*... smiley - smiley
