'Scuse me. You're still ignoring my question. What fun with radiation was had during science? I know. I have homework to finish and I feel its going to be a long ish answer though I dout it is. Also i fear it wil be a 'you had to be there' kind of fun. And also I cannot remember half of it. On the whole I regret posting it and wish I said it ofhandidly at school so I speak it so I could make it seem better and longer.

Oh. Well, I'll be wanting to hear all about it tomorrow. Although, I may not be able to sleep tonight, through the mind-encompassing excitement.
...
...I'm sorry? Business films? What HAVE you been watching, Adam.

Ahh, I forgot. you're chionophobic, aren't you ICWP?
What I also forgot was that I promised to recommend some Mike Oldfield for you. Well, here goes: If you wanted an album, you can't go far wrong with The Songs of Distant Earth. Elements also gives a good all-round selection of his music. I also highly recommend The Millennium Bell. If you wanted a taste of the long instrumentals, go for Incantations, or also very good is Hergest Ridge. Now, as for single tracks, there are plenty. Hibernaculum, from ...Distant Earth is pretty much my favourite, though I might not suggest it be the first you listen to - it's an acquired taste. Amarok (Excerpt) would certainly be the top, were it not for Hibernaculum. Another I really like is Slipstream, from his latest album Light & Shade. If you want something completely wacky, go for Altered State - can't remember which album that's from, though. Another good'un is The Millennium Bell, which is the final, summary track of, you guessed it, The Millennium Bell. So, my dear rookie, there is an interesting little Oldfield selection for you. If you want more, let me know. And let me know if you actually acquire any of the aforementioned albums/tracks, and what you think .

He meant when you said that sometimes people make you feel ashamed of the shows you watch, et cetera. Oh! Understood! In that case, the answer is no, I was referring to something else. I learned today that apparently, time travel is possible with electrons, although they can only go back to the time at which the machine was activated. Now all that needs to be done is to create a time machine for humans, and make it one that allows them to go back (or forward) to any time. I hope they hurry up. I've got things to do, places to see, lives to save.

Many girls, more than guys, have someone they'd go gay for. But that raises the question of whether girls are naturally more bisexual, men are equally bisexual and just afraid to admit it, or neither sex has innate bisexuality, but modern culture encourages female bisexuality. I was wondering why all ads where about gay-dating. I guess it's a bit of both (girls being more naturally bisexual and men afraid to admit it), but the former is much 'truer' that the latter. What I mean is that even if men weren't afraid of admitting it, we still wouldn't feel as confortable with it as girls do. Think of drunk guys...they are much more 'passionate' about their male friend, but still not as passionate as girls are. Thanks! I did celebrate (not so much though, it was wednesday after all) So, Mac, was your friend gay after all? I've always had this phobia. There's a big difference between being afraid of something and having a phobia. I, for once, am not too keen on decisions, but it's not like I panic and loose control of myself when I have to make them. You don't see men kiss or touch each other often. I was hugging my male friend (everyone was doing it) the other day and some kids walking past voiced their disgust. Were those kids your same age? Anyway, that atittude is just immature behaviour. It'll probably go away in a few years, though I don't know what's the general feeling about male-hugs over there (I do know Islander doesn't like them ) What I also forgot was that I promised to recommend some Mike Oldfield for you. Heh, Islander, I didn't know you liked good music. I have one complain though...how many times can one artist re-realease his big-break hit? Enough with the 'bells' already!

Hmm. It seems that, when I'm not at school, my dreams are all about school. That's a bit odd. Loser. That homophobe. I do not have a fear of fear. That's just stupid and irrational. In fact, alot of you guys have stupid phobias. Girls are much more comfortable touching each other etc. They regularly kiss to greet and some act like Trinny and Suzanna when it comes to breasts (touches other to compare to own). But anyway its becuase we are men and we hunt and we are too good for hugging men, women hug men, and if you hug a man you are gay and that is weak as only woman hug men and woman are weak. And we are men and we are not weak. The woman are week but we own the woman, we hug them. And you're an expert on women's feelings, anthropology, and lesbianism? I was wondering why all ads where about gay-dating. You know you loved it. I'd both agree and disagree. Men, even most gay men, are not as touchy-feely as girl. Of course, there are some very feminine gay men, but we're talking about the typical guy. So in that sense, men are less touchy. On the other hand, men can be more sexual. I hate to cite some of my dirtier friends, but I have two gay friends who delight on getting straight men to do sexual things with them. Once the alcohol tears the social mental block down, men's rampant sexuality may come through. So my theory is that many men and women have latent bisexuality, something totally natural, but we're raised and socialized to prefer the opposite sex. It comes naturally, evolutionary adaptation. We need to breed, after all. However, both men and women can break the social wall and indulge in bisexuality. The difference is that women atleast culturally and possibly naturally are more touchy and nurturing. And society is more allowing of female exploration. Have not gotten the chance to find out. And most likely wont for awhile. I'd rather preserve the friendship than risk it for my own curiosity. I believe he's pretty open and liberal minded, but often men have been socially conditioned to practically throw up at homosexuality. Islander: I for one sometimes enjoy being insensitive.

I for one sometimes enjoy being insensitive. But I also get the impression that when you want to be, or when the time calls for it, you can be very sensitive. That's why I think that, emotionally, you're very stable and healthy. You're not over-emotional, so that every little tiny thing sees you in floods of tears, but you're not cruel and stone-hearted. At least, I don't think you are. Obviously you know yourself better than I do, though.

effect= noun (i.e.- special effects) affect= verb
Anyhoo, I thought Islander meant we were insensitive for laughing at people's phobias of the color white or of swallowing air (WTH?!).

Yes, that's what I thought. Then someone told me it wasn't that simple, and it depends mostly on the word before it (the noun is always "effect", but "effect" isn't exclusively the noun). So now I'm all confused, and I just put what it feels like should be there.

Forgot to add: CSI kicked copious amounts of a$$ last night. I hope you watched it, Mac. Everything was just excellent. I felt tense, I felt sympathetic, I laughed, I felt disturbed... I'm still thinking about today. THAT is the CSI I've been missing for the last few seasons.
The other night, I was watching America's Next Top Model (shut up). This Clearasil commercial came on. It had one of the Masterson brothers (Danny I think) on it, but he was like 15. And even weirder, I remember that commercial from when I was a teenager! I mean, it had to be around 10 years old. It was really bizarre. Either someone screwed up in the programming department, or Clearasil has a really, really tight budget.

No, that quote was supposed to be sarcastic. They where about 11 or so (Year 7 in British schooling). All young kids are like that.

I looked over at a park yesterday and there were loads of young children running around and playing and I wished I was one of them. I sometimes feel like being a little kid playing in the park again. Nothing matters, everything's fun, everything is a game you play. Adam, ICWP, just so you know, you get a lot of work at university. If you want to know what I've had to look at so far, find the texts of The Miller's Tale (Chaucer), Doctor Faustus (Christopher Marlowe) and Paradise Lost (John Milton).

Any bad Friday the 13th experiences anyone?
I did soem of those unluckey things this morning to tempt bad luck. It puy my shoes on the tabel and crossed knives at the table (which brings conflict). And my brother started shouting at me for putting my shoes on 'his' buit of the table where he has to eat. it was funny. I told him about the irony when he calmed down.
I tried to get the ladder from out side to walk under it but it was all muddy and has a slug, spider and god knows what in it. It spilt salt and peper and put my hat on the bed. I also sung before breakfast. I made my breakfast and remembered I had to spill salt (and peper) and when i'd finished that all my break fast was soggy. Also when I was pouring the milk in I spilt some.
Also yesterday my printer was buggered but I cannot blame luck on that. It really messed up my homework though!
Also the electrisity had to get switched off today in my house for a bit as the main wire was broke or soemthing.
Also, also, also loads of people where away today in first class which i now feel responsable for.
I love the coinsidences i find on Friday the 13th. Hey, I'v just realised its still the 13th. I forgot! Its all this talking in the past. Oh yes and my plans to organise a big meeting woth loads of kids isnt goign well!
