Sorry, I'm having a strange day - obseesed with finding trivia . Oh, and you're shearing your birthday with Eric Stewart, in case you've ever wondered. Which of scourse you haven't.

Oh, and being this musical lover and all: I can't stand 'Cats' (cats, generally, I love but I can't stand 'Cats') It has no story, no characters you can relate to, no... Okay, it has some good music in it... But it could still have a story! And you know, Michael Ball never played in it. Now if we're talking about the Phantom of the Opera, Aspects of Love, Passion, Les Miserables and let's not forget: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (Dick van Dyke not included) we're talking about works of geniuses (but ofcourse, the composer of 'Cats' also composed two of those I mentioned )

And I've noticed not only have I gotten a 'thing' for rag dolls, but also... windmills! That was one I didnt see coming

I'm forcing one of mom's coworkers to scan my holdiay pictures - so I may use it on the website. Maybe some day you may see what I look like (I wouldn't recommend it, but... ) The next best thing is here:
http://www.geocities.com/tinetica
It's my sister's (Tine/Tiny/Tinetica) sofa (situated in my sister's room) - I've spent hours passing out on it (without the collection of teddy bears mostly). It's also just a floor above my own room.

"Gee, Tilly - you had all afternoon off this Monday. What did you do?"
"Oh, I advertised pictures of my sister's couch on the internet!"

It's getting a bit too much for me on this very, very hot day. I'm think I'm down with a stomach big or something

Like I said before, one quote a day ONLY! Heh .
It would be rude to laugh at the picture, but here we go anyway. Mwahahahahah, hahhahh hahhh hooh ho hah ha ho he he ha ha ooh he he ho ha hahhh ooh he hoh ha hahhe he hah hah he ho..ahh!
A sofa? Why?*giggles* What possible intrest would I have in your sisters sofa? Well, it was a very nice sofa. Really, I thought it was a great insight into your sofa habits. He he !
Gosh, that was REALLY funny.
My site should be up soon (Hopefully while we're still alive), and you can see how many hearts this face has broken (It was just too much for them, they couldn't handle the shock). Plus I shall put in a photo of my sofa. Which is very nice, if slightly stained. Promises, promises. It's a completely different thing to actually get off your butt and do it.
It's quite sunny and cool in Britain today. Pleasant I think is the word !
My Mum's making spaghetti bolognaise, and is having a little 'drink'. i.e. a small whisky
I had better go and grab it off her. If she's going to cut my hair tonight I want her concentrating!
I'm seriously doubting if I should trust her with somthing as precious as my hair, but then again I have been known to comb my hair with a fork, so who am I to judge? I was in a hurry ok?
Have you seen my space recently? It looks (slightly) better than before! Ok not much, but I tried !
I think I should take a before and after picture of my hair. That way people will know why I had it cut. You should have seen my fringe when I was a kid. It was massive! I grew it out as it was blinding me. Also It was messing up the skin on my forehead. My skin became much smoother and generally nicer, but my celebration was short lived. My body just moved some of the manky skin to my chin. Bloody body .
Don't worry, I don't look that bad anymore ! I look completely different, I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing...
Well, I'm going to take a before/after picture with my digital camera and load it up on my Dad's machine. Then maybe one of my foot then maybe the sofa. God I'm boring...
Well, wish me luck. The test's in 14 hours and 45 mins and 26 seconds. I need sleep and food and more food. Well bye

[RESEARCHER.GONE.WRONG]

P.S. My sofa's blue!
P.P.S. My hair is officially brown from this day forward, I was sick of calling it 'not quite blonde and not quite brown' so I rounded up. A bit like they taught us in maths. Duhhh?
P.P.P.S. Wish me more luck, I'm jinxed I tells ya!
P.P.P.P.S Who am I

I just looked at the picture again and I have the same small white rabbit in the corner! I think so anyway...
Ah well, ignore my insane ramblings .

[RESEARCHER.GONE.WRONG]

Currently listening to: "I wouldn't know" - Michael Ball "..I'm getting tired of people asking/Why can't they just leave me alone..." *Sob*

My sister's sofa (which is the only thing from my everyday life that's actually on the net) is really, really uncomfortable - even without the plushie collection. It's made of a cheap PVC-like thing - the kind that starts to sweat and rips off your skin if you're ever near it. I mostly use the livingroom sofa, wich is blue and "furry" (but alas, hasn't got a picture on the net) Sofas? How come we're talking about sofas?

Oh, and your website, does it have theme? Let me guess... You! And you could even dedicate a page to "this weird girl, Tilde (although she demands everybody calls her Tilly) who just won't shut up about sofas and Michael Ball. Never combined though."

It's terribly hot here - the only reason I don't evaporate is that then I wouldn't manage to type. Seriously - 18 degrees C!! That's way too hot for a Norwegian! ALthough rather it being too hot than too cold...

Actually, when I said nothing from my everyday life was on the net, except the sofa... I was lying. I know, I know... But still, there's nothing much - a picture of my brother, Truls on www.clarkz.com (an own domain name! How cool is that ) And if you know any girls with a degree in HTML, who doesn't mind travelling abroad, loves cooking and don't mind Jazz - tell her he's available

Whizz... Ssh... Oh dear. I think I just evaporated. I'll come back to you.

Oh, and I looked at your userpage. Great! It looks very... charming

Whizz.... Hiss... Schlorp...

A QUOTE A DAY SOMTHING SOMTHING. I CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO RHYME TODAY. YOU TRY HAVING TWO 2 AND 1/2 HOUR LONG EXAMS WITH ONLY AN HOURS BREAK IN BETWEEN!!!:

WEREWOLF, n. A wolf that was once, or is sometimes, a man. All werewolves are of evil disposition, having assumed a bestial form to gratify a beastial appetite, but some, transformed by sorcery, are as humane and is consistent with an acquired taste for human flesh.
Some Bavarian peasants having caught a wolf one evening, tied it to a post by the tail and went to bed. The next morning nothing was there! Greatly perplexed, they consulted the local priest, who told them that their captive was undoubtedly a werewolf and had resumed its human for during the night. "The next time that you take a wolf," the good man said, "see that you chain it by the leg, and in the morning you will find a Lutheran."

Ambrose Bierce (1842 - 1914), The Devil's Dictionary

That was a loooonnggg quote .
I do not wish to alarm you but I love HTML, Jazz and cooking. Don't panic! I'm sure it'll be ok. Ahh, It'd never work out anyway. I'm an idiot you see !
Hang on a minute, your brother's how old again? What does he do for a living? I'm so confused.
I'm guessing from the pic that he's a bit too old for me right? You wouldn't let me date him anyway. I don't think he'd let me date him either. I'll ask my 20 somthing cousin If she's interested. She is quite attractive and popular, so what happened to me then?! Did I miss the trip to the gene pool or somthing?
I often wonder If I'm adopted, but I look too much like my Dad to be (I have his nose(sadly), his eyes, his eye sockets (eek, they're starting to sink in and make me look evil)and his paranoia). Plus I have my Mum's evil sense of humour!
Actually, the theme you provided for my site isn't a bad one. I sense the opportunity to be naughty ! I could do a really nice site but then I could dedicate it to you and you can show people to freak them out... oh wait that's not funny. That's just really stupid.
I may do a Hannibal tribute site, where all the Hannibal fans can come and group on a regular basis (the whole 2 of them. Me and... well, I'm sure I could persuade you). Or maybe a tribute site for pie! I always had a passion for pie!
I eventually got my hair cut, but one side was longer than the other so my Mum ended up cutting off more than she should have. I can JUST scrape it back into a ponytail, I never have it any other way. I did end up taking a picture of it, except I forgot the before picture, well that just ruined my day.
*sob* my friend has got a boyfriend ! Now I'm the only one in my group of friends who has 'never been kissed.' or a had a boyfriend! Sorry to bring in the title of a film, but I'm in a very filmy mood today. It could be worse, at least I have another 66 years (if I assume I'm gonna die at 80) to find someone out of fear of dying alone.
Here's a random complaint: I can't stand it when you're wearing shorts, it's a really hot day and you are sitting on a leather or PVC sofa. Cos when you get up, it sticks to you and makes a horrible tearing sensation on your skin!
The exam went ok. I'm not going to say how I think I did as I will jinx it that way. It's the Math's exams tommorow. Wish me luck (And then again for the science one on friday) There was a really stupid question on the comprehension part of the exam. There was a story and we had to answer questions on it. The question was:

"How does the relationship between the boy and the duck develop? Comment on the boy's attitude towards the duck when he first see's it. Also comment on what the boy felt for the duck by the end."

What the hell? That's sick, why should we be answering questions on a trans-species relationship!? I don't want to know what the boy felt for the duck, and I certainly don't want to know how they were feeling by the end !
I got a good mark (again) for my vegetarian cooking project. 10/10 wahoo. Are you a vegetarian? I would be but I like chicken and sausages too much. I hate the idea of an animal dying to feed me. I still eat sausages because I can take comfort in the fact that the animal probably got run over by a car. And was THEN scraped off the road and processed and minced(along with various vermin I.E. rats,'s, mice, racoons,'s, snakes,'s and hill- billies)then stuffed into it's own bladder. Incredible how I can eat anything even though I know where it's been and how it was made. TIP OF THE DAY: Anything that's been dropped on the floor is still perfectly good to eat. He he...
I feel ill! I have really painful cramps. No wonder really from what I said before. I want paracetemol and I want it NOW!!!!
Well bye for now. I'm just gonna evaporate outa here Whizz...Hiss...Schlorp..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Hang on a minute....
Why didn't you tell me I was just making a load of silly noises, I'm getting the bus now!

-R.G.W
[RESEARCHER.GONE.WRONG]

P.S. I love pie !!

Curently listening to: "Unsettled Scores" with Michael Ball. "...So many cries in the night/that you try to ignore/'Why didn't I do that?'/'Why didn't I do this?'..." I'll soon be crying my eyes out...

You? And Truls? Now *that* would be... er, weird . He's 27, you know and is going through a mid-life crisis (but that's just silly)... I've heard guys in their mid-life crisis starts hunting for younger girls, but... Besides, he just broke up with his girlfriend and is slightly bitter. Now, I don't want you to take any advantage of that

So, I'm staying home today - I've cleaned the house (or more precicely 1. floor), I've shopped ingredients for dinner (try walking with your rucksack full of frozen broccoli *Brrr* ), I've made and frozen the dessert (I found the recipe on the internet, have never tasted it before so it could possibly kill us ) and soon I will be starting dinner. This is that sort of task my school make us do to help us say something like; "Oh, mommy and/or daddy, I didn't know cleaning and/or making dinner was this hard! I've sure learned a lesson today..."

I read somewhere that cleaning is great for burning calories! After all, I've been crawling around the floor looking for dead flies - I'm going to look like Naomi Campbell soon!

I had a little mishap with the chocolate sauce... You know what get chocolate sauce off curtains? Nothing! I'm terribly clever when it comes to cooking: Once I actaully managed to set fire to spaghetti! No kidding! I haven't the foggiest of how I managed it, but still - I ought to recieve a diploma or an award of some kind I'm still just waitingfor the catastrophe to happen... Except the chocolate sauce I haven't made any errors. Yet.

Oh, lots of luck! But you probably don't need it. And as my own math book has scribbled on the cover: DON'T PANIC!

A FEW QUOTES TODAY WILL MAKE YOU SAY "Yay!" :

"Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater."
Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

This one's my fave:

"You're aware the boy failed my grade school math class, I take it? And not that many years later he's teaching college. Now I ask you: Is that the sorriest indictment of the American educational system you ever heard? [pauses to light cigarette.] No aptitude at all for long division, but never mind. It's him they ask to split the atom. How he talked his way into the Nobel prize is beyond me. But then, I suppose it's like the man says, "It's not what you know..."
Karl Arbeiter: former teacher of Albert Einstein

This one seems appropriate as today was very hot. And sitting in an exam hall with 134 other people, on such a day isn't a nice way to spend your afternoon. Let's just say that It was so bad I was talking like this after I came out of my Macbeth exam:

"Is this a dagger which I see before me,
The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee.
I have thee not, and yet I see thee still.
Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible
To feeling as to sight? or art thou but
A dagger of the mind, a false creation,
Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?"
William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), "Macbeth", Act 2 scene 1


This one is just funny, I'm a sadist:

"Unbearably lovely music is heard as the curtain rises, and we see the woods on a summer afternoon. A fawn dances on and nibbles slowly at some leaves. He drifts lazily through the soft foliage. Soon he starts coughing and drops dead."
Woody Allen, Without Feathers

Curently listening to: someone talking on the phone trying to sell me insurance (I'm starting to annoy him now cos he can hear me typing away merrily not listening and it's only just started to dawn on him that I'm 14 and have no intention of dying in the next 5 years)and my next door neighbor having a screaming fit at her husband about the baby. Who is suitably unimpressed, it refuses to 'eat it's f***ing dinner' apparently.
*Gasp* Tilly, I would never take advantage of a young, goodlooking, single, straight boy/man! Especially after he's gone through an emotional break up! Nope, I'm still a terrible liar. So what, there's only a 13 year age gap, hang on, 13 years!! So when I'm 20 he'd be 33, when I'm 30 he'd be 43, when I'm 50 he'd be 63! Oh my !
Ahem, anyway. Truls would have to be having one hell of a mid-life crisis (snort. You're right, it is silly) to even think about dating me! Is that your choice of phrase or his? You know him having a 'midlife crisis' and all that. Maybe he'll go and buy a red sports car !
My cousin Nina is about 25 I think, much more suitable, but I think she's unavailable for the moment (Sorry, could I book you an appointment for next year perhaps? He he!). I'll ask my other cousin, she's only 3 but I'm sure that she'd be up for it. That would be very entertaining, well for me and you anyway. I doubt Truls would see the funny side...
I wonder what the'd say if they found out we were organising their love lives for them.
Wow, one whole floor. Someone watch you girl you're outa controll , you cleaning machine, you!
My parents stopped trying to lay the guilt trip on me years ago. I did what they told me, but I never said "Oh, mommy and/or daddy, I didn't know cleaning and/or making dinner was this hard! I've sure learned a lesson today..." so they gave up. I make my own dinner most of the time but my Mum made the mistake of making me do the ironing. Shortly after she ended up repairing 3 burnt blouses and buying several pairs of new socks which had 'spontaniously combusted' while on top of the ironing board. Mum gave up on me the next Day...
But Dad was more determined, it took a couple of nails driven through his hand to give up too. The shelf started it, Dad should never have put his hand there....on his lap... he was asking for it.
Oh I'm just too weird!
The test was ok but like I said before, I'm not going to jinx it.
Err, doesn't baking soda get most stains out? Oh I don't know, I'm not the motherly, I know everything type. How do Mum's do it? Do they take classes on 'how to be a mum'?

"So Ann, what are you taking?"
"I thought I might try the 'I heard that' class, the end result is being able to hear a splodge of jam on your new white carpet two rooms away, apparantly! What about you?"
"Oh I decided on the ' Human lie dectector' class with Proffesor.I.P.Freely(my little joke there). It's either that or I go for the 'I'm not going to hit you' anger management class. No matter what the child does, you stay calm and controlled. And then when they think it's safe you ground them, and don't let them go anywhere!"
"Sounds like fun!"

I had an ok day today, I think I'll scan in a picture of my diary to show you what I did all through Science. Well, me and my friend Lucy. I hope that I do get round to e-mailing it, I always seem to forget
No matter how hard I try I shall never even come close to looking like Naomi Campbell, maybe somthing she'd tread it, but nothing like her.
No exam tommorow, but I shall be expecting good luck wishes for friday when I have my science exams.
My space is looking better each day.......
Bye for now chums

[RESEARCHER.GONE.WRONG]

P.S. You never told me if you were a vegetarian?!

Heh heh, I've been leaving confusing messages on your guest book ! Well, they're not really bad or anything, so don't worry ok .
Ahh, yes. I must go and scan my diary.

Bye bye!

R.G.W

I'm way too lazy to type in the [RESEARCHER.GONE.WRONG] bit which I normally put at the bottom. Oh, I just did! Never mind...........

Heh heh, I've been leaving confusing messages on your guest book ! Well, they're not really bad or anything, so don't worry ok .

Bye bye!

R.G.W

I'm way too lazy to type in the [RESEARCHER.GONE.WRONG] bit which I normally put at the bottom. Oh, I just did! Never mind...........

Oops, I put that twice. Oh never mind !

Currently listening to: The distant talking of the actors in some soap my mother's watching.

Oh, I'm not. A vegetarian. I'm not a vegetarian . I really should though - I use so much of my time fighting for animal rights (throwing paint on fur coats, that sort of thing ) But I like hamburgers too much - but I heard somewhere (that's kind of my catchphrase, innit? 'I heard somewhere...') that there's hardly any meat in it - if it is, it's more likely rotting rat-flesh... Sorry - I'm getting gross again

And I've never actaully thrown paint on ladies with fur coats - it just would be so cool if I could say it. And I've seen plenty of ladies showing off in such a disgusting manner that I wish that some time, maybe not today and maybe not tomorrow, but some time, I will lose my temper . But I do work a lot for animal rights.

Hey: In my family it's tradition that the family finds future spouses for the members! No; Not really - but we joke about it a lot Like I'm supposed to get together with Anders in the band because he can play 'Samba Pati' so well... And I don't think Truls would ever admit he's having a midlif crisis; but he, normally a very 'seize the day' kinda fella, is now nagging himself about that he isn't going any where in life, doesn't have any children... Simply: Just silly. He'll probably get a tatoo (another one...) and go back to his jazz-loving, computer-addicted frood. Oh yeah - he's actually a big Hitchhiker's Guide fan himself.

And as an answer to the question you left in my guest book - I have no idea. Or more like: Geocities did it. I just checked a box, wrote it in and bam! there it was. I tend to cheat a bit when it comes to HTML and such - why do it complicated when you can do it easy?

The dinner went great! I served meatballs w/sauce and vegetables, and for the desert chocolate-covered bananas (with corn flakes ) My parents thought it was great - I didn't say the line though "mummy and/or daddy..." but they're going to write it on the letter to school - "Tilde did great" And that chocolate sauce stain - it didn't matter, my mum was looking for an excuse to throw those curtains out anyway

It's getting very late, and I'm getting very sleepy Tomorrow my sister is having another girl-night I better prepare myself. Let's see; Pepper spray... shotgun... sieve...

Hi again !

I just thought I'd tell you there's now a picture of me on the net!
http://www.michael-ball.co.uk/homepages/fosca44/memichael.jpg
That's Michael Ball with the dimples, and the dead-pale, black haired blob with an ear-ring is me!

Okay, I admit - it's not a very good one, but it's still me! So, do I look like you imagined?

A QUOTE A DAY THROWS MY TIME AWAY:

"People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history."
Dan Quayle

*to the above* Well that's a relief! I'm going to be ok then !
Listening to: the 'Jackie Chan the cartoon series' soundtrack. Shut up, it's really good ok! And I'm not really watching it or anything ...
Interesting pic, It's pretty hard to make out details, christ you are pale! Are you the walking dead? Sorry, it's just a really funny picture. I can't even tell what colour your eyes are. Your hair is shorter than you made it out to be, but well everything else is kinda how I thought you'd look.
You did give him a rose, that's soo sweet!
I had a bad experience with roses once, which kinda put me off for life. I was running around the garden, like you do, when all of a sudden I just stopped and toppled back into a rose bush, I lay there crying for about an hour as I was too scared to move. Ok, I was 6 at the time, but that made it no less painfull.
Ho hum, I really should get to work on revising but I really can't be bothered. It's science tommorow, which is the only subject I revised for, so I should be ok.
Well done. I'm sure your teacher is going to be immensely proud of you. And just when she thought there was no hope!
Joy of joys, I'm going to see the silence of the lambs on saturday at Vickie's house! I'm also going to the cinema to see another film about somthing (I don't yet know what. Any ideas?)and there we are going to meet up with Chloe and her first ever, brandnew, top of the range, can't get any better than this, boyfriend. Well that's how she described him anyway. We are going to bump into them 'accidently'..
She's given me and Vickie a breifing on how to behave when we meet him! She even suggested we make notes on bits of paper! Oh the outrage.
She told me the following:

Don't continuosly talk about Hannibal Lecter.
Don't talk about, and I quote, 'that hitchhiker writer guy' or any other book or author.
Don't try to amuse Nick (that's his name)with funny stories of me embarrassing myself.
Don't talk about, and I quote yet again, 'that Tilly girl.'
Do talk about me, and my charm.
Do make fun of Lauren, and in the process make me look good.
Do hold in the temptation to quote. Especially ones about death and 'sad stuff.' Ones about me and my charm are ok.

She told Vickie the following:

Don't tell Nick about all the boy's I've had crushes on.
Don't eat at all throughout the date.
Do keep Nate from doing all the above.
Do not interrupt when Nick looks like he's going to kiss me.
Do tell Nate to do the same.

I'm offended !

EEK! I JUST GOT TOLD BY MY MUM THAT MY POEM IS GOING TO BE PUBLISHED IN A BOOK, AND ENTERED INTO THE COMPETION WHERE I COULD WIN £50!!!! I HATED THAT POEM TOO! I PERSONALLY THOUGHT THAT IT WAS RUBBISH, BUT WHAT DO I KNOW! JOY! WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahem, I'm calm now......
That's soo cool!
I am going to have to e-mail you a picture, can you recieve attatchments?
Well, I have to go. Bye!

[RESEARCHER.GONE.WRONG]

Currently listening to: "The Spring of 1117" with Janet Mooney. *Sigh* "...With him I will fly/like a songbird ..."

Well, of course I'm pale! I'm a practising Vampire , didn't I tell you that? No, seriously, I'm kidding - it's the blitz that made me look I was drained for blood... "Of course it was "
T'was funny with that rose - I meant to buy one, but the flower shop clerk refused to sell me any less than eight! In the end I bought eight for £4 - kept one to give to him and threw out the rest. It's something slightly Gothic with roses, and I like them becuase of that. I also insist of smelling them each time I'm near one - even though I have a very bad sense of smell (my mother has been a heavy smoker all my life - I blame her ) Like another song with Janet Mooney "...Have you ever seen a rose without it's thorn?/How does a girl become a woman?..." Okay, that song has never made any sense to me neither, but it's about roses (no, it's actually about falling in love)

Silence of the Lambs rocks! Although I'm not sure how Vickie will react when you go "Aw! Isn't that sweet!" when he peels of that mask of flesh...

Oh. "Accidentally bumping into each other" - I know all about those Or my sister does. I'm usually the only one that says "Oh, I didn't think I'd bump into YOU here, of all people!" and genuinely MEAN it. I mean: My sister and me, walking along in one of Norway's biggest cities(Oslo), into one of the million of shops there, and then meet Tine's boyfriend! Funny, that. Anyway, you have my blessing on doing all those "No-no" things I just think that would be interesting to see it then you can go "Tilly made me do it!"

You're going to be published? Oh! How cool! *Jumps up and down* What'll be the book's name? You'll actually be a published writer! Great! How does the poem go? Or is that "classified"? Oh, I see, "Go buy the book". Hmph.

Nah. Good for you! Know what - I got bruises on my knees (slightly change of subject). Know what that means? It's summer! Even more pleasant news. "Goody-goody" It's getting a bit late, and my sister and her six friends is giggling upstairs .

Lots of luck and do tell me more about that poem . (Yes, I can recieve attachments)

A QUOTE A DAY ISN'T GAY:

"Everything is funny as long as it is happening to Somebody Else."
Will Rogers (1879 - 1935)

&

"Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh."
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)

Currently listening to: "Let's get it on" by Marvin Gaye, nothing implied by that. It just happens to be on the radio. I love Marvin Gaye and Barry White too. Ooh one of my fave songs has come on. "Shaft" by Isaac Hayes! Ooh, I'm so sad !
Ahh, the weekend. My one true friend !
Vickie will just look at me and sigh. She's used to me having crushes on weirdo's. First it was Seth Green from Buffy who played a werewolf, then Danny Smith from Big Wolf on Campus who played a werewolf's best friend(and was a complete dork! lovely...), then it was Sean Biggerstaff who played Oliver Wood in Harry Potter and recently it is Antony Hopkins/ Hannibal Lecter. I actually like Hannibal but I thought that Antony played him excellently. Bravissimi, Monsieur Hopkins , bravo, C'est magnifique!
Heh heh...
Yeah, my Mum smokes. My Dad doesn't but most of my Mums side of the family smoke. Except my Grandparents and my Aunt. Can't stand it myself, filthy habit. It's a really, really unpleasant sensation to smoke or so I'm told ..... nah, I've never tried but my Mum says it's horrible but addictive. And I believe her.
I sent you a e-mail, I don't know if you got it but it has pictures of me as an astronaut, me, me as a hamster and some random friends. Including Vickie! Who I continuously talk about, so you must be curious! So, to cliche, am I how you imagined? Heh heh....
I'm ugly, I know but I'm satisfied. At this exact minute anyway, in 2 seconds I shall be my number 1 enemy!
A vampire eh? That's a new one I have to admit. I've had as friends witches and cannibals but never a vampire!
I'm going to let my hamster, Maximus Decimus Meridius, loose on the key board. It's taking me so long to write this as he keeps on trying to jump off the desk. Well here we go. Whatever gems of philosophy he writes are strictly copyrite: Maxi 2002 tm.

Maxi writes:"L'['''[''[K ,,,>JM weeio`9jmjhs zaNT, KIY4 RR4 Rtmr U FFFF IU YORYQ34 FLK FK LIT ML DHF2H`YGTFR8OTGRO/] I-]84 m,o;huuuutrr7rr7rwasfc]0 o[' kl; nuiyt'0 "

That's very insightful Max... hmm. Bless, he's snowy white with blue/black eyes, pink nose and ears(with black speckles). My Dad's babysitting him at the moment so I can actually type! He can smell chocolate on my Dad. Dad pretends he doesn't like Max but really he thinks that he's as sweet as apple pie! Mmmm, pie!
Well, I had better and rescue my hamster. Dad's now trying to rock him to sleep in his shirt while Max tries to throw himself out of this make-shift hammock.
Bye!

Currently listening to: BBC Radio 2 (on the net) a documentary about Jerry Herman (or something), with Michael Ball of course.

Ah yes, I've recieved the pictures. I was particulary impressed with the astronaut one . Yeah, you mostly looked like I had imagined you. Are these pictures new? You mentioned getting a haircut - before or after these? Just curious

Know what day it is tomorrow? Know who's day it is? Hint: This person, let's call her "Milly", will celebrate her 15th birthay and wishes for a certain Michael Ball , in tux, serenading her all night and day... You "talk" with her on daily basis, where she rants about everything from boring trivia to sofas... She owns a little fluffy hamster named Roosta... Come on, you'll never guess

I would let my hamster (named Roosta, by the way) type an answer to Max, I'mm all to tired to walk up a floor, go into the room infamously alled "the office", wake him up, pull him down here, and let him loose on the keyboard. So there.

Oh, wait, the programme on radio 2 just finished "Goodnight, I'm Michael Ball, and this is a heavy entertainment show for BBC radio 2..." I'm not allowed to sit up any longer - it's a "Certain Day" tomorrrow

Boo!
I like your choice of books. Rat King is a particular favourite of mine. I have Sun Tzu's Art Of Wars with a Foreword by James Clavell. It's very good. I hope you are enjoying yourself here. We are all very friendly, if you want to look into any conversations just go to anybodys space and click on their conversations and say hello.

Eeek!
Christ, don't do that. You scared me half to death!
Thanks, glad someone appreciates my taste in books. King Rat was excellent, unbelievebly believeable!
I have started reading Shogun but haven't got any further than the first few chapters, pathetic huh, seeing as I've had it more than 3 months.
What else do you read? Do you mind if we start up a new conversatiom? I'll just go and do that now....
