I know this is a flagrant attempt to sway you but...ENGLAND! ENGLAND! A THOUSAND TIMES ENGLAND!

We've got a few Browncoats, but just not enough in my view...and the weather's beautiful over here at the moment, blue skies, cooling breezes, the works.
Plus, the *accent* (because of course England is too small to have multiple accents ) is sexy...apparently. Hearing a rough Liverpudlian woman screaming "WHAT THE FK ARE YOU LOOKING AT?!" kinda takes the shine off it though. My advice is: stay away from the rough areas of Liverpool, it ain't worth it.

Ah well, back to my Thinking Journalism essay...got till 4pm tomorrow to write 2000 words and I'm still in the "finding quotes to support my argument" phase This is gonna be fun.

RIMG - Right back at you kid. It's nice to be back. The server at my university has been playing up for the last three months, meaning sites like FFF.net, fanfiction.net, vgcats.com and bbc.co.uk (four of my most visited sites) have inexplicably just stopped working. The (exceddingly bad) technicians seem to have sorted it out for the time being.

As for me, I'm...shiny, really. As long as I can get this Thinking Journalism essay done and dusted (I've started now BTW, am on a solid 256 words), I should be able to carry on at uni, move away from my halls of residence (and the bds that reside in them) and start afresh socially. Got my last piece to hand in on May 9th, then four months of sweet, sweet freedom amongst people I know and love. Can't spiggin' wait!

How are you doing anyways RIMG? Life treating you well I hope?

A NINJA-QUICK EDIT: If anyone here on FFF.net takes a Journalism-related course at any educational level, I implore you to buy Journalism: Critical Issues which is edited by Stuart Allan. Absolutely amazing book which helps you get your head round the social aspects of Journalism and really makes you think on how to be a better, more ethical journalist. Plus, it's got tonnes of quotable passages, which always helps.

I really want to go back to England. I went when I was 16 or 17 and it was awesome, but I think if I went back now I'd enjoy it even more. As far as foreign countries go, I like it because a.) I can speak the language (mostly) and b.) British people don't seem to be rude to Americans in my experience (I'm putting you on watch Italy!). I guess I'll have to work for 6 months to put some money aside for a vacation.

Yes, but in Ireland they get all of those things and they also get to be in Ireland

morning Imponderables.

inever, I have been doing ok. Still livin' and workin', doin' a lot with the 76th and our preparations for our first march. Making lots of beer too. Same basic stuff as always I suppose. Haven't used FFF chat in quite some time though (as you might have noticed).

Hobbleit, you are a funny woman.

Morning, everyone.

Goddess Bless my tcp/ip line, as we have been fighting Verizon for over an hour as we had no Net service. And then inexplicably, it started working.

We're closing April today, so I will be off and on all day.

I am 6 days smoke free as of today. The urge is starting to subside, but every now and again I get a little fit.
