Ooooh, you're in Canada. Sorry, my bad. That is quite a distance, but not nearly as bad as an ocean.
You know, I wouldn't mind living in Canada one day. I've talked about it with a few of my friends. The only problem I might have would be the cold.
Goodkind has a knack for drawing things out. I'm betting this entire book is about chainfire and Kahlan; and Richard trying to find her. I should check Amazon and see if it says whether this is the final book or not.
*edit* It's described as "Chainfire Trilogy part two, Sword of Truth book ten". So there's at least one more book.
The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart. - Gautama Siddharta

I have issues with people singing or performing near me. Strange but true, i think it may be linked to the metrophobia, but i just find it toe curlingly embarrasing. I mean i can do anything silly, one of my co workers and i have taken to yelling darling! accross the atrium, visitors there or not. but some one starts singing to me? argh!
so no, and i've never hated anyone enough to sing to them (especially as the only songs i know are Kate Bush and Tori Amos) but on my own you can't shut me up.
I'm not sure about relationships with exes - i don't have one, regardles of how we felt on splitting, i've left all but one down in london.It seems that good aquaintences would be ideal, minimum awkwardness, especially when new partners appear.
The yes dear thing was sweet, and so true, i can't help but think, as an outsider, that really, your basic attraction and your imagination should be enough to sustain a sex life, everything else is icing.
But then i've never had to maintain a sexual relationship for longer than six months.

Oh OddBodds - what did you think of St Elseware? I'm still making up my mind, but i love the range, and his voice is great. Did you see them performing in Star Wars get up?
And of course it was Spaced (
) Did you hear the Pegg is now working on an action film about Bobbies? (as in, british police, not men called Bobby) cue much stage diving and sliding accross car bonnets by men in polyester shirts and penis shaped hats.
I thought about 'saving myself' but i got bored with it.
Ok, don't laugh, but this is wierd my mouse is squeaking
and im talking about the plastic one attatched to the pooter...
Not sao muc a male female, but definetly an imponderable.
I'm not to arsed about being blown to smithireens by terrorists. Even when i moved into a flat on the opposite shore of the Thames (not a big river) to Canary Warf on September 10th 2001, and spent weeks telling my mother 'no, i'm no where near it' whilst sitting at my window and watching the twinly blinky lights, was i that bothered (well, i was bothered that it was happening, and that people had died horribly, and families were now missing members, i was horrified, but as for it happening to me, i just couldn't summon up and feeling of danger. all of the bombings and now this flight stuff thats going on, and i'm wondering if i shouldn't be just a little more worried.An its not cause its remote from me, the 7/7 bombing took place in areas that vber very familiar and dear to me - a few weeks ago a young man comitted suicide in my workplace, and i cared more for my workmate who were shook by it thatn i did for the fact that it happened.
I mean, to put it in a nutshell, we went to see The Day after Tomorrow. My sister and mother came home talking about stock piling beans, my sister was v

Seryn, the whole point of terrorism, or freedom fighting if you will, is to get people irrationally scared. Sure, if you work in the pentagon, you might want to be worried, but frankly, the chances of getting yourself blowed up are so astronomically small, that it's fine to not worry about them. Sure, the london bombings were freaky, but... I'm just saying that it's healthy to not be concerned about abstracts, which most world disasters are to most people. I figure that it is most likely that I will go through my whole life with absolutely nothing interesting or scary happening, so why worry about the what ifs?
And as for Day After Tomorrow, not being influenced by (ok, i havent seen it but) a cheesy disaster movie is perfectly sensible. Seeing the movie does not make it any more likely that any of this stuff will happen.
Ok, per my original point, I am sorta incorrect, I just went on a heathrow to SF flight two weeks ago, that's a bit weird I admit, and my neighbor's son was killed in Iraq, and it's sad, but until something terribly terrible happens to me and mine, I will try to remain blissfully unaware. Stupid, but easier on the brainpan.

CDs?
Er. I dont remember the last time I bought or recieved a CD. Would probably have to be the two-disk Queen's Greatest Hits....
Books.
Oh, now, books, on the other hand...
The Last Light of the Sun - Guy Gavriel Kay (brilliant, as usual)
The Peshawar Lancers (Sterling; lousy, badly written, ripped off stuff from The Flashman Papers, in particular Flashman & The Great Game)
The Great Influenza (John M. Barry, scary stuff about the flu pandemic near the end of WWI - scarier still the virtual suspension of the Constitution by Woodrow Wilson as background to the epidemic)
Schindler's List (Thomas Keneally, if you havent heard of it, you grew up under a rock, in a cave, on Mars.)
Impossible Odds (Dave Duncan, one of his Kings Blades series - as with all Duncan books cant...stop...reading...4...am...must finish...one more...chapter...)
TV?
Criminal Minds
Diego (what, another damn animal fell into the river? How did animals survive in the wild without little spanish kids rescuing them?)
Monarchy (aaah. So thats why we revolted...)
I cant think of much else....
"Don't put your trust in revolutions. They always come around again. That's why they're called revolutions. People die, and nothing changes." -Terry Pratchett "Night Watch"

Hi everyone. Just got back from my date.
My chemistry meter reads at absolute zero.
Seryn, I'm a lot like you. I don't have the energy to be freaking out about freak occurances.

Well Rose, it could have been worse, you could have been flaming mad, or utterly miserable, etc... but as is, it appears that you found the guy... um... human, but just not interesting. Which seems like the best aftermath of a bad date.
Or, it was horrible. Either could be true.

No spark from your night out eh.

Take Care;
