Ok, Philippa Gregory totally rules, but I don't understand your answer to #12. What's a standard education? We don't know how old you are, so it could really be anything...
Ok, I just looked up Philippa Gregory on Amazon.com, and it turns out I've been missing just a shit-ton of her books! I've only read 3-- the Queen's Own Fool, The Virgin's Lover, and The Other Boleyn Girl. I'm going to start working out, so I may see if she has anything available on audio so I can listen to it at the gym.

By standard I mean, primary school, from 5 yrs to 11...then high school, 11yrs to 16.
I left with average grades as I got a job working at The London Dungeon while taking exams. At the time I didn't want to continue with my studies (something I actually quite regret now!) I seem to enjoy studying a lot more now though than I did at school and recently gained a qualification in Holistic Massage, which will enable me to enrol in other Holistic therapies. I have my eye on Reflexology!

You're too perky for my taste, but it's nothing bad.
But our either friendship or enmity will be your whole decision, based on the following statement I'm going to say that you're not going to like =P:
The Crow is overrated!!

Ha ha ha, Jilli...
There's an ice-breaker.
If it comes over and bites you, i suggest that cattle-prod as weapon of choice.

Just wondering...why did you say "can you tell!" after everything? Of course we can't tell...we have no idea who you are, and can't even see you. Not only that, but it would be a question.

Arrrrrgh! The Crow can't be the best movie ever because it's based off a comic book by the same name! Then again, Ghost World is the best movie ever in my book, even though it's based off a comic book. >.< Anyway, welcome...

I love Ghost World! My favorite song in it is "Devil Got My Woman" by Skip James. You should listen to it in full on imeem, it's excellent.

Hmmm....that is a problem......
Agreed people under 21 can be a bit of a nusiance, but if then conduct themselves properly I see no reason we can't co-exist. As far as the Americans thing. You may want to try not communicating with anyone new online. There's a whole lot of them out there. Wouldn't want you to sully your pure English "integrity." Better yet, just to be on the safe side, destroy your computer.
Oh. And welcome. For however long you choose to stay.

I fucking love the Killers. And you know what, that doesn't make me any more or less goth than anyone else. Goths, like all people, can like whatever they want. Not only that, but who is "trying to get your attention?"
And what's wrong with Americans...?

I'm not sure how well versed you are in "gothic life and culture" but there are a lot of goths who listen to much more than just the music prescribed to our social genre. Many of us like rap and hip hop. Some of us listen to pop music. Some of us even like The Killers, Moving Units, Interpol and the like. That doesn't make us any LESS goth. If anything it makes us more intelligent, worldly, and open minded individuals.
But again- you should probably just go destroy your computer. This could get to be too much for your demon eyes.

Are you just looking for a fight?
And no, not paranoid. Just defending the Killers. A band I love. That's all. You never really answered my question, though. What's your beef with Americans?
Oh yeah, you can't delete your posts on this site. I'm pretty sure.

To be honest, I found your reply to my post extremely rude!!! Every American I seem to come across have quite a bad attitude, so well done for reinforcing that for me!
I too love The Killers and I do not have an issue regarding your choice in music...I do however have an issue with your attitude on how I wrote my post!
