What's your opinion about Germans?
I think the way History is taught at school has a lot to answer for in terms of creating prejudice towards Germans. I remember from my own experience that the bias was so strong and on such an emotio…

Israel forcing Bush to strike Iran before his term ends
If the only way to fight nukes is with nukes then Iran has the right idea because one of their biggest motivations for having nukes is to be on a level playing field with Israel and the U.S. in terms…

- Favorite music:
- I love music of almost every genre from Folk to Metal, and Electro to Soul. Some of the most influential or related to artists are: The Doors, Joy Division, Ewan Maccoll, Janis Joplin, The Beatles, David Bowie, Pearl Jam, Nina Simone,The Libertines, Led Zepellin, Ruth Theodore, Bob Dylan, The Velvet Underground, Rage Against The Machine, Sam Cooke, Red Go Green Stop, Tamla Motown, Nirvana, Warp Records, Wang, Michael Jackson, Bjork, Radiohead, Guillemots, Queen, Black Sabbath, Credence Clearwater Revival, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, The Stone Roses, Small Faces, Kraftwerk, Billie Holiday, The Who, The Clash - damn I'm going off on one, as I said I love music.

- Favorite books:
- Recently, I have been immersed in academic books so haven't had too much opportunity to read. However, one of those books: All The Shah's Men - Stephen Kinzer; is a very accessible book all about U.S. and U.K. Involvement in Iran. Books that have had a big impact on me are: Aldous Huxley's: Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell, George Orwell - everything I have read of his, specifically, 1984, Oscar Wilde - The Importance of Being Earnest, William Blake's - Songs of Innocence and Experience, Baudelaire's - Les Fluer du Mal, and lots more.
- Goals/Projects/Aspirations:
- In September I will be heading off to University as a mature student, so to complete my course and achieve a first has to be one of my goals. I, like most people would like to think I will change the world for the better, but I'm hoping that will just happen and that I won't need to make any major plans of how it will. To find balance would be good too.
- Relationship Status:
- In a Relationship

Nice hearing from you again. I'm doing alright. I hope you're doing ok in your new place. :] I'm sure it beautiful there. :]
I'm fine, school started a few days ago. It was....ehh. Not very exciting. :]
How are you?
We'll probably go for the really cheap restaurants though. The stay for one week is costing us enough and we still wanna go shopping and stuff. So a restaurant where you have to pay £60 per person is a little out of our reach. But thanks anyway! If I were going with some rich folk, I'd definitely make 'em go there :p
I'd love to go to that poetry cafe and we're definitely going to visit some museums. My cousin thought it'd be nice to catch a play too. Looking at the Westend site...
I'm doing good. I have not heard of them before, but i'm definitely going to have to check that out, that sounds really interesting. Glad you like the songs.
Yes, unfortunately I have 3 more years of High School.
I'll be starting my sophomore year.
The virgin initiation varies from theater to theater. Usually you go on stage, make a fool or yourself dancing and dressing up. :] Or..other times you have to do something really embarrassing like fake an orgasm onstage. It all depends...
I had to add The Libertines. I had to share the magic with I Power. :]
I'm 24 days away from being 15, which means I get to drive soon! Hopefully. :]
I used to be up until all hours of the night on the internet, not being able to sleep. :] But, my dad didnt like me up until 7am on the computer. So he set a limit of 10:30. Damn.
When I go to Rocky Horror I really want to go on stage and do the Virgin Initiation! It sounds like fun. :]
I haven't been doing much, just enjoying my last few days of summer. School starts in 4 days.
If I were a guy I'd for sure be Frank n' Furter. Sadly, I have to choose from either Magenta or Columbia. Janet is a tad plain for my taste. :]
How are you doing?
Well, so far I like Dont look back into the sun, Narcissist, Can't stand me now, I get along, and Time for heroes. :]
I'd just heard Mercy mercy me yesterday, and naturally I loved it :] I love Eddie Vedder too, I havn't seen Into the wild, but I'll check it out. :]
Hahahah, are you really dressing up? I may go as Columbia, but I haven't fully decided. :]
