Did you see the other day something about England made it where you can't blog things anonymously? What the hell is up with>>
that? That's half the fun of the internet!

Yeah it had passed across my thought patterns somewhere at some point but I don't blog, have no intention of doing so and this is the only forum I visit where I post. They're supposed to be clamping down on illegal (and legal) downloads as well.
My whole country is effed up. Too many PC minded pricks have given rise to a nanny state where most folks, especially those with power, are scared of offending someone that criminals and those that abuse the system are better off than those who try to live genuinely.
But this is a discussion for RWED.

• My username is NOT from the Angel episode 'The Somnambulist' - it is actually from the character of the Somnambulist from my favourite silent film "The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari".

• I am half English half Grenadian and although both countrys speak English, my first language was actually Spanish/Guarani as I grew up in Paraguay in South America.

• In 2000 I composed a circus themed album that was played on an Atlanta radio station.

• I've always been comfortable wth solitude and still wonder if I could live in isolation on some remote island.

• In 1988 I fell in love for the first time, I was seventeen, after that life was never the same again.

Asi que es solo un sueno para usted?

Sorry, I have no idea how to '&~ on here...

My favorite old movie is "Jane Eyre" the one with Orson Welles. He could've read a phone book and made it sound interesting...

I'm sad to say the only reference to Paraguay I have is from Willy Wonka... Were you the one that fabricated that fifth golden ticket?

God, I'ma gonna die in this corn-growin' hellhole without knowin' anything of the rest of the world, aren't I?

Paraguay is land locked. Was a dictatorship while I lived there, but I was too young to know what that meant. But I know I was safe wherever I went. The indigenous language is Guarani which is an Indian language that was spoken before the conquest of south America by the Spanish and Portuguese.

Have you seen Grosse Point Blank? John Cusack makes mention that he killed the Paraguayan president with a fork.

Leslie Nielsen mentions that there is a Paraguayan liberation front (or something) in the show Poilce Squad (actually remember that show- that was awesome)

Richard Dreyfuss stars as a would be dictator in the Film: Moon Over Parador (certainly a reference to Paraguay)

There are more snakes per square meter than any other South American country (apparently - though I never saw any, and we lived in the countryside)

Paraguay borders Brazil, Bolivia, and Argentina. It's capital is Ascuncion - Oh and the people are really friendly.

There was a huge tragedy about four or five years ago where a shopping mall caught fire and the security system failed and trapped hundreds of people inside.

It's said in good humour that the best way to travel from Brazil to Paraguay for free is to hide yourself in a VW Beetle and wait. Within minutes the Beetle will be stolen and make it back across the border into Paraguay.

Hope that helps Amigo

Gracias, it and the two hour virtual tour of South America I took this morning helps, but there is a lot to remember. The thing I am most surprised about is that South America has so many Irish pubs? who knew...

And since at this point nobody's paying attention, I also like to put on a dress and play Dean Martin, Sam Cooke,Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash and really play the part of a 50's housewife when I clean the house. Have to send everyone else out of the house, though. Makes cleaning up suck just a little less!!
