LMAO!

Oh, you have no idea! She throws tantrums right and left, her new favourite word is "no!"

>so censored.

Oh, I know all about the cencored part. When I got back here for the first time in a while, I was chatting with the girl at the hotel desk, and didn't bother to "Americanize" my way of speaking. I was using Britishisms, using 'fuck' excessively, which would be totally normal and expected at home, right, (like "fuck all", "fuck about", "fuckwit", etc), and the girl says "Oh, um... that's not PC. We're in America, we don't talk like that". Eeek!

And I know what you mean about TV being different. I was channel surfing for Red Dwarf, or Python, or Father Ted, and all I found was Survivor. I was totally flummoxed!

>Fascinating! Sounds brilliant.

Oh, it is! I really can't wait to get there and check it out.

>...How dormant? lol

LOL! Apparently hasn't gone off in centuries.

>Wow! (ht?)

Yeah, HT. I'm a senior member, lol!

>Ah, why? Everything alright?

Ah, long story. And no, it's not alright.

>:D Great. I'll take all the pals I can get. Like I
>said in my first post, I'm rather lonely save for my

Great! I'll tell some friends to come round and post you. :)

>So what else are you into? Favorite books etc?

Oh, I'm into fantasy books (Lord of the Rings, Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe, etc). I also love historical fiction. How bout you?
