h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Congratulations on a great article!

thanks

So what are you working on in or for the Guide at the moment?

Well I've taken a bit of time off from my Sub-editing because of exams and I've havd a few more of my own entries edited and I'm in the midst of writing entries about Sixth Year at my high school.

What other entries have you had edited?

Um let's see:

*goes to look*

A851618 Richard Avedon - Photographer
A850745 Two Hundred Years and Two Modern Heroines
A839216 How to Make Paper

I wonder who the two heroines are.
*reads the articles*
Did you have to do an assignment on Richard Avedon? You would have got good marks!
I've seen 'Bridget Jones' Diary' but I haven't read it.
What inspired you to make paper?

Heroines - Bridget Jones and Elizabeth Bennet

Richard Avedon was part of an art assignment I wrote last year and I did get good marks for it I think

Paper... well when I was little I used to get kits to make things and paper happened to be one of them.

I read all the articles. I never knew that Bridget Jones' Diary was based on Pride and Prejudice!

I hope you get a place at Dundee College.

A strange thing, I have a passion for dice. For my birthday I got four metal special dice...

Yeah and there are a lot of similarities when you think about both, although Bridget isn't as strong a character.

I hope I get into Dundee too, dunno what I'll do if I don't.

Cool, people keep buying me bagpuss memorabilia and now started buying Emily Strange stuff (it's an actual brand!) which is always cool

I actually haven't read 'Pride and Prejudice'.

I'm sure you'll find a way if you don't get into Dundee.

Bagpuss? (is Emily Strange a good brand?)

You should read it, it's a grand book one of my faves.

Bagpuss because "even though bagpuss was just a saggy old cloth cat, Emily Loved him..." gets to be a running joke...and Emily Strange is a great range, I love the stuff!

My cousin read it and said it was kind of boring, but then again, some people think Shakespeare is boring.
I have only really studied two Shakespeare plays. They are 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' and 'Merchant of Venice'. I once performed part of 'Romeo and Juliet', and I've watched the movie, but I haven't really studied the text.

I love Shakespeare, we read it at school and people are always miserable at the mention of it, people my age don't appreciate it.

Here in Australia there are some who appreciate it, and others who don't like it because they don't understand the language.

MOst of the people at my school just make fun of it, which is a shame, I mean if they tried to enjoy it when we read it in class then they'd like it and understand it.

I'm sorry I haven't been talking for so long, I've been working hard at school, but now I'm on holidays!
