I don't think it's an issue of what a nightclub is used for or anything like that - it's a trust issue between you and your boyfriend. I've been through the rounds of this and my relationship (now thankfully an ended relationship) very quickly turne…

Well, for one, with that much money, I would invest. With blue-chip investments/steady and slow low-risk stocks (raise slowly over time), even a mere 1% increase is like, $120,000 pocket change. And you can think about the things you can do with tha…

- About Me:
- I am a law student in England with a passion for creative works such as art and literature. I do a lot of design work and publicity projects, and it's amazing where it all takes you. I also enjoy studying philosophy, because it seems like a beautiful, constant argument (as is debating, but it's cut short, unfortunately). I dabble in a bit of photography here and there, but nothing particularly riveting.
- Favorite music:
- Anything of any genre that carries a good melody. It differs from mood to mood.
- Goals/Projects/Aspirations:
- I hope to specialize in human rights law, especially because it branches off to many different sectors of law (such as asylum/refugee law, international criminal law and media law, etc). I am also a committee member of Student Action For Refugees (www.star-network.org.uk/) and I hope to raise awareness about the people who have been unfairly marginalized by both the government and prejudices of the general public.
That being said, I'm still not sure about which direction I will follow (even if I have one or two ideas in my mind, they are too broad to condense into a digestible goal).
Personal projects range from personal writing to creating art. I'm currently in the process of starting a new webcomic, but of a very different variety.
You know what would be also very awesome? To learn Thai boxing or some equivalent.

Daniel said… - "kids" - good to hear that one, i'd love to teach kids myself, guna be going for that extra year on the end of uni with any luck (if i make it that far ^^), at the age where they're still young and ready for a little moulding hmm, be there to help guide them toward being a model human of awesomeness as they're still developing their person :) that's the only real reason i'd love to teach kids that i can think of... they're still so open to influence at young ages, that and... well... the alternatives of teaching either teenagers or higher ^^ by which point... if they're complete slackers / badly formed people, it'd far harder to make any real change for the better.
curious ;) how do you deal with tantrums if ever? i have my theory, but.. have no clue on its effectiveness around the classroom ^^ suppose it depends on the level of tantrum... sayyyy, a kid kicking and screaming! what would you do :P
spare time for me, gah :) i just bought a few computer games in a pack thing like 2 days ago... it's that damn Cliff that's a bad influence on me :P i barely played games till i met him! other than that though, i've been watching a fair bunch of documentaries, facebook has me a little too though... i've cooled off it again for now ^^ especially as i start my holiday tomorrow morning :) going camping in the New Forest, you're familiar?? a place over here in the uk.
other than that, my spare time also goes on wikipedia, fark.com, checking out novelty stuff and concept designs around the net ^^ there's some really neat stuff out there. one last one you might find a little weird is my time spent on dictionary.com :P i now have around 40 bookmarks of words i'd like to whack into my long term memory for recall >.< it's a little harder than i first thought tbh, if i don't put them into practice, i suppose giving them some context for me to remember them by... i forget them within a few days! anyway :) not really important... hah (me and my rambles hmm.... ^^). OH and IPower... ofcourse :) along with a fairly huge chunk of MSN (which i'd like to be changing when i get back from my holiday perhaps), and occasionally Ventrilo, but i don't much talk when there are more than 2 people.
"Wish I had that kind of body movement"
yeah i wish i knew how to control my body like that too ^^ "practice makes perfect!".... though practice costs money >.< i should get a laptop for that! head out into a field somewhere when i hit uni :) and just play a few videos + kick some air ass (play on air guitar... that just didn't sound right).
"Kafka"! have to admit, i didn't much :) i read it for a little while then moved onto "Hardboiled Wonderland"... really enjoyed that one! but only reached the 40 page mark or near before yet again moving onto a completely different category of book... that book being (if i remember rightly :S) "Tractatus Logico Philosophicus", which... i'm only a few pages in. if i'm to read books, i need to be left alone, and read all pages in swift succession ^^ otherwise... i lose track of the content covered and in turn... lose interest. that's one of the reasons "Hardboiled Wonderland" is so great, as each chapter is very much self-contained in its own little world... yet running themes are present throughout :) as if the stories and their characters are linked.... yet completely separate at the same time, it's really weird! / creative really :P..... different.
that's too bad :) seems by the time you get here, i'll be up in Stafford. pretty sure i'll be coming back down here and there for the holidays mind you ^^ do you usually organise your spare time well? cuz if you have time to burn i could even come say hi while i'm there! though... i'd rather like... actually do something :)
"He'll be so much more bilingual than me -- so jealous!"
i only mentioned because, well i'm pretty sure you don't have yourself too much to be jealous of. if i were to guess, you were born + raised here for sure judging by the language you use, but then i've no doubt typing English... and SPEAKING it, are two very different challenges :) really though your English seems better than most, even mine ^^... i simply don't have the brainpower to recall an armoury or words as you can. oh and fyi :P i only speak ONE language, being English... so the next time you're feeling jealous, think of me before any feelings of frustration or such :P cuz... i'm envious for sure!
^^ a female goddess surely would be nicer to look at yeah! though... we mustn't forget, Gods are there to rule! to have a female goddess punish people... well.... i can imagine there'll be a lot of "naughty" guys waiting in line for that one ^^ (i was to say "for the spanking" :P though i suppose that'd be pushing my luck a little far hmm, kidding tooooo!)
"This is also the internet, and you can never be too careful"
haha, i find myself saying this often ;).... a little TOO often really, these longish comments give me a bad name! anyhoo, "this" = I'M NOT A STALKER! :P
i understand though yeah :) although i don't see that anything at all could come back and bite us in the ass so long as we do no wrong ^^ i am myself VERY protective of passwords and such... as in... i'd never tell even those closest to me. i don't really know why :) i like when people put their trust in me, as i feel i'm like... extremely trustworthy! though when it comes to trusting others, i cheat :P information that might make it seem as if i'm trusting, is just me disclosing information i'd tell almost anyone who wanted to know ^^, even when it comes to family life, my problems / deepest thoughts or anything, happy enough sharing any of that! but passwords... if i don't trust people with the things that are most important to me... then i won't ever be disappointed when a friend stabs me in the back :P nor will it leave room for any doubt at all should something go wrong. not telling a friend a password renders them completely exempt of any suspicion whatsoever... = the friendship goes undamaged! = goooooood
the woman being "Neda", she's also given mention of in a TED talk featuring Gordon Brown! :O
i liked your take on prioritising all these issues in the world :) and where we stand on fixing them. i'm still left completely uncertain on where i'd start, my feelings toward lots of the problems in the world are pretty strong in... well i'd not go far amiss in defining that feeling as disappointment in / hatred of people really... i dislike lots of things, like... i can feel extremely disgusted at how people treat animals in slaughterhouses and such... even before that when they're still providing stock for the food industry... the stories and documentaries out there... i'm yet to ever watch a full documentary on animal abuse... abhorrence is the one outstanding word in my mind right now... that covers the entire subject for me... i'd not flinch to see some of the things those animals go through, happen in the exact same way to the people capable of doing such terrible things...
in the exact same way though, i can feel utter disgust at child abuse, or... well anything where the power hungry attack the weak defenceless... or the corrupt manipulate the weak of mind... there are so many people i believe would benefit the world by just no longer existing... and i don't even feel bad for saying that, even though it is completely wrong of me to ever wish that.
anyway :) getting pretty damn late ^^ didn't want to leave without replying to everything... so... there you have it!
i'm feeling quite interested in these photos of Hong Kong you mentioned btw, it's all very urban / filled with.... well everything really ^^ so many things all crammed into such a tiny space... that's how i imagine it to be. i never imagined it to be so bland in colour though! as seen in those photos you uploaded on IP a while back. a single tone throughout! Hong Kong in my mind has always been about the nightlife, bright lights of a huge variety of differing colours ^^ everything lit, merchants bellowing the sale of their product, people EVERYWHERE.
right then! bed time i suppose, good luck with the job, and well :) everything else there is in your life right now, all the best, speak to you whenever.
night night!
(ps.. <3 Jackie Chan :P)

- haha, "seeee you DO have if in you!" :P (i just had to say that ^^)
as for mentioning lots of things all over the place, you... don't mind right? i guess it's my way of keeping everything as.... "racey" as i can :P when one subject drivels down to random nonsense, i'll dive into something else to make everything just seem a little more relevant and fuuuuuun ^^. (AND i change subjects when i say something naughty ;) or compliment, or otherwise something i'm either not looking for, or wouldn't expect a response to ^^, my way of saying "sooo anyway!"... without actually saying it :P)
oh definitely about the money thing ^^, what i was meaning is, i'd rather not let money be my one single most important concern. making sure to take care of all the necessities, savings and such... so long as my life's secure, i don't really care what i do with the rest of my money ^^. happiness > riches..
saying that though, if my computer were to disappear one day :) i'd probably have just a little trouble filling up all that free time i'd have. i'd wind up down the library instead, and... completely out of the loop concerning news and new discoveries across whatever number of fields there are. the internet just plain rocks :P soooo tell me... where does your spare time go? i've had a peek at your deviantart page btw! ^^ "preeeettyyyyyy".
you mention Thai Boxing toward the end :P wondering why (so many questions!!! >.<), this wouldn't be down to Ting now would it? eyebrws
most fun i've had watching any martial art so far i think is:
that's recently anyway :) oo oo, you have to see the Damien Walters show reel!!
counselling :) yeah i'm pretty sure it would get irritating after a while, though i'm good with my smiles, so if ever, i'd hope to last a fair while. it's the same with anything really, if you're stuck in a repetitive job... chances are you'll get a lil fed up with the work :) which is where people come in. right now i'm hating all the work i get given, though the people around me are.... "ok" :P heh, no really! ^^ people can make all the difference i find, so this counselling job if i ever find myself in one ^^ would be all the more fun / entertaining should i succeed in opening people up :) i'm "ok" with stuff like that usually, what with talking lots... (that's a good thing here and there ;) but... meh).
yeah :) i keep switching between his Hard-boiled Wonderland, and Kafka >.<, i read straight for like 3 hjours yesterday for the first time in forever!!! so should get a fair whole bunch of books off that damn shelf soon enough :) and my GOD there are so many waiting to be read... makes me wish sometimes i could do that Johny Five thing!... you know ;) kind of... looking forward to reading through K-Pax, but not looking forward to having to read through it... all those pages can be so damn daunting ^^
OH good god! haha, i feel i'm typing a tad much :) still so much to reply to! the message just seems to be slowly growing throughout the day ^^ lunch break now though, so WOO!
haha, pics of the porch ;) you want any "in the making" pics of that? + dated :P should raise a smile or two to see how long it all takes ^^, you're very much based over in Hong Kong then? only headed to Coventry for like, holidays and things??? or would this be another subject you'd not be too comfortable telling a complete stranger ;) what with wondering where your family all are, English being the second language?
my beliefs? for a long long time i'd have gone all out Big Bang, i used to neglect any kind of religion with questions like "what do i benefit through believing in an all powerful being", i don't feel there's anything at all i'm in desperate need of improving about my person (just whatever i come across really ^^), so the storytelling involved wouldn't be much more than to quench any interests. but then i asked myself... what do i really gain through believing in the big bang, there's no lesson to be learned there at all for me either! ^^ so, although i still lean toward science because.. at least they can make some sense of that :P i've come to the conclusion that i really don't mind what the truth is on that ^^ as i can't really know for sure, as with most of us i dare say, it really is... whatever the hell we feel like believing in :P is true for us. so.... if i want miniature (space) baby fur seals controlling the universe! i'll damn well HAVE miniature (space) baby fur seals controlling the universe :P
seriously though, if a "god" jumped out at the word one day and made himself (HAS to be a guy... ^^) known, there wouldn't really be any denying it... even then i'd be well against any kind of worship... unless he was a "cool" god. respect is about as far as i'd go ^^ depending on his actions and words. till then though :) well tbh, i'll probably still lay claim to believing in the big bang, only... half-heartedly this time ^^
"I can't even explain it"
i have a feeling :) even if you did know, i find with most people, there isn't ever much reason they can think to be behaving in such a way other than "i just don't feel comfortable" ^^. asking again though :) if the world were to know all your secrets, how do you think that would impact you? or... perhaps not start with the world actually ;) if i were to know everything about you, would that be a bad thing?? i mean, what IS a "secret"? information you'd regard as personal, but, what difference would it make if the people you talk to knew about that stuff, unless you have something against the information yourself. so, the very last thing you'd want a stranger to know about you :) now, why not? what are YOUR feelings toward that information. sory to go on about this topic btw ^^ tiz a bad habit, just hope you don't ever feel i'm attacking you with any of this hmm :P
"I feel I should invest more time in affecting the people around me positively"
o ooo, do me do me! :P
no really ^^ although there may not be a god out there i know of, still hope you don't wind up like that woman posted up on the forums just recently :S i guess that's the trouble with trying to fix the world, and standing out of the crowd... there will always be people there to try to stop you... and now she's dead ^^. tbh, i don't think there's a person out there who isn't oblivious to the majority of crap that goes on in the world. like right now, i'm SURE there's rape and torture and all that jazz happening in tons of places :S although i'd love to fix the world, i really wouldn't know where to start. you've seen Coventry :) we're hardly perfect, i don't like the thought that we shouldn't work together as a race... but i just wish i could put across to these third world countries just a little of my personality. some of the stories from over in those places, alike to even "these" places... i always feel i should be very surprised at how bad people can really be... there's one hell of a loada self-development to be done out there... i'd just like to help people ease into their environments, and live as good people i guess (hence the counselling stuff i suppose ^^). i do wonder, what exactly is it you're looking to achieve wherever you plan on headed, i really don't know what use i could be out there... other than this unbreakable smile ^^ i'm a little short for any kind of talent that'd be useful in a place like that so far as i know. if anything, i'd love to write a book on this stuff, i try to keep a very down-to-earth approach to my wording :) but even then... i'd imagine the majority of the population over there is illiterate... really, what would be that very first stepping stone? simply heading over there and asking, "would you like a hand?"? ^^. i'd rather help on more of a widescale, though tbh, i do completely love seeing people happy :) that last community update with Sam and Remy i found to be the best ever :P simply because of all the laughing! anyway, i've probably typed WAAAAAY too much, started this like 4 hours ago now :) it's been a nice little break from work here and there! so thanks ^^ - all the best n all the rest

- ohhh very smooth ^^ with the "what about you at the end", = i'm left to throw out my input on absolutely everything!!! :P almost seems as if you completely missed that massive comment i left you actually ^^, and...
Murakami!!!! i saw one of his books displayed on a poster at the bookstore a few days ago! i had no idea he was so popular, "eyebrws".
tbh :) sounds like you have a whole ton more goals than i, me i just don't EVER want to have money control my life, that's my number 1 pet hate in the world... the influence of that damn coloured paper. other than that, the most fulfilling and i guess profitable role i'd like to play in the world is to have a bash at counselling, i'm really good at caring in the moment ^^, got myself a reeeeeal nasty benevolent streak hidden underneath all this mean grit on the surface :P (YES i was kidding about the mean grit... ^^). my background... haha, wow :P well, i guess spiritually / psychologically / everything else that makes up that which is "me" has done plenty of favours :) though this place has never really been abundant with moneys, ha, this is the first time i can say "you should see my house!" and possibly mean it :P what with you being so near, but really.... don't >.< haha, this place :P is crammed full of half finished jobs. my dad's very much the classic example of the "DIY expert-ish", he made an entire extension on the back of the house over like... a year or something :P he's in the middle of a porch right now too that's taken around half a year now... i've no real clue what i'm doing when it comes to actually building the thing :P so it's very much me following instruction here and there, and talking all the rest of the time :P which gets me to thinking... i probably just slow him down tbh :) not that i'm taking all the blame! i definitely have a love for my garden though ^^ we have ourselves an extra plot of land out back, right now ^^ with very much an "au naturel" look right now :P (i've never seen that phrase spelt out before btw ^^ correct in the slightest??).
ok i'm blabbering now!...
"sounds cheesy"
pshhh - it'd be filled with honour and pride and all those other lovely things, and you know it!! :P if you lived and died btw ^^ you wouldn't feel a daaaamn thing, you'd be dead! maha... no really, you're a believer in the afterlife? religious at all? should i... tuck tail and run while i still can? ^^ (kidding). 'sup to you if you want to expand on the NGO stuff, right now i think i'm more interested in your comment on not discussing this stuff too deeply with strangers :) having asked you at all shows i care enough for the response already right? ^^ you'd have my full attention throughout these messages too, i can't help but wonder what there really is that could be in the slightest bit embarassing or "too personal", even if there's talk of relationships :) i think eventually, we'd all want that perfect partner ("perfect" being heavily subject to the individual in question i'd imagine :P).
what's your opinion of "secrets", and what do you feel you'd have to gain or lose in sharing them with strangers. (that's not me asking you for secrets btw :P i really do want to know the answer to that question)
reading over your message :O i just realised... the "point in me" could've been SO different a converastion :P... (sorry!). i guess, my comment style, i say all that springs to mind, i like exploring new concepts and stuff, as well as people :) helping fix things in them when and where i can. so long as the other person seems interested in the slightest, i usually type till i can't think of anything more ^^, it's only with the one-line replies i might get that i'll probably return the favour :) it's not like any of this stuff takes too long either way, not with these speedy fingers, eyebrws. (oh and damn you Vic! because you won't read it here ^^ i can say what i want!)
just for interest's sake ^^ what's the most interesting topic you've stumbled across lately?
"How salamander could help us regrow our own limbs"
