After saying 'no thank you' for the umpteenth time, I thought I'd ask you guys for your views. Why is it that bosses in particular find it highly sociable to force you into 'social gatherings' in the form of meals, parties, or other activities which 9 times out of 10 only exist to provide an opportunity to kiss their a**? I'm fine with my dignity and current position and I really don't find using my private time in the company of people who you see for 3/4 or the time you are awake. I also am not fond of the overly camp ex-colleagues who attend just to gossip, rustle up rumors about people and make a point about their sexuality in almost every other comment. Surely it's a rather sad affair if people are not content enough with their own time as to spend it with people who really just don't gel with as a group anyway. Is it just me or what?

they did a show the other night about the fact that when the titanic sunk it took some down because of the suction of the ship. and at first every thing looked like it was going to be myth confirmed when he did the bubble trick he sunk like a stone. until they sunk a tug boat and he didn't sink with it. this is what confused me they cut a number of holes in the tug so it would sink faster plus the opened all the doors and hatches i mean correct me if I'm wrong it would have been the air trapped in the stern and escaping that would have made it suck people down?

It's funny how life works sometimes...a couple months ago I didn't know it would be this hard to lose you. Now that I looked inside myself and allowed myself to begin to love you, I don't know how to let that go. My mother doesn't know what she is talking about, and I told her last night I was moving out and now I feel as if maybe it has all been for nothing. Not nothing, because I now realize how I feel about you and that you are the one that makes me happy, the one that has always been there...but it hurts so much to let it go. Part of me is jealous of Gloria, because now you are going back to her and its because I questioned myself and my feelings...and I realize that now I am too late and I will never know what could have been or should have been, and that breaks my heart. After this, I am going to stop talking about it, I don't want you to suffer anymore then you already have. I'm sorry for all the pain I have caused you, maybe life is giving me back all the pain I caused

What if every time we held a general election there were also an election where the voters get to give the top 10 heirs to the UK throne including the monarch numbers and the median number wins for each person (thus allowing people to be elected king/queen or next in line to-s) and the one finishing 10th falls off the list altogether, replaced by the 'other person' who had the most votes which could be anyone at all... - what an idea, I'd love to hear what people think about it - will you all think this would lead to rule by the big brother idiots, models, football-stars and TV personalities, and if so, is that such a bad thing?

There would be a secondary division ballot containing the top three from the third section which is where everybody can just write in anybody's name they wish to, and the top three go onto the secondary ballot for next time (plus 1.10 and 2.2), and the one of these with the most votes gets promoted into the royal top 10 heirs to the throne.

I'm hoping to live in Japan once I finish school. I bought myself a "Tech Yourself Japanese" set with book and audio CDs. Is it best for me to stick with this method of learning japanese first or will it be best for me to start teaching myself their written language right now? not romanji. I know for a fact I won't be in a city or college setting for me to practice japanese with others for 2 years. I'm not as passionate as I used to be about the language. Sometimes I think of giving up and just switching back to spanish which I have come a ways in because I know how to relate new vocabulary back to something I've known for years but with japanese everything is new. Everything. All is welcome.
