Now you made me miss the first quarter of the game!😠 Trying to think of something to say when there really isn't anything, other than to say i hope you can make it all work out. I hate bumps in the road. Should be smooth sailing always, you know?
has spotty Internet access. I should be on more pretty soon.[/b]

Not much to go through in truth, it's a pretty clean arrangement, as my parents are level-headed people with everyone but each other. I just shake my head and chalk it up to the OEP*.
I'm out of school in eight months for good, then most likely off to any of 6 different places across the pond. I think I'll deal until then. Hell, I have so much trouble staying in the here-and-now anyway that I barely notice stuff like that.
No worries man, smoothish sailing as always.

Bumpy sailing is allright too, you know. As long as there are no iceburgs!😕 Anyway, hoist sail and have a go!😵
Over the pond, eh? You will do well over,under or alongside the pond! Under might be a bit of a problem... upon further reflection.😕

In truth, I've just sent in the university applications (many, many thanks to T1000 for essay-editing/criticism/instructions on manipulating the system).
Thanks for the vote o' confidence sir!

I can vote for things i believe in. You will make it. How's that for confidence?
And as to that monkey thing... just remember that it is better to be underfed as a monkey than as a bonobo! Lack of energy there might be fatal!😀

Anyvey, I'll see how it goes, and I just hope that some bureaucrat somewhere shares your belief 😉.
Yes, the Narcoleptic Bonobo is at a serious disadvantage that I don't wish to picture 😲

Get yer Cold Beer Here!"... Later🙂
