If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

...in Utah. Not a terrible place; after all, I have a lot of friends here and a school to go to... but not great, either, with psycho, overly-religious and gossipy culture, and a lack of cool stuff to do (that I know about, at least.) I miss London and it's perpetually gray weather, which meant I could always go outside without fear of heat stroke. I also miss not having to worry about a job... hate looking for those things.

Particularly worrying is the amount of stress my wife is under, as she has a degree but is having a hard time finding jobs. It makes her constantly stressed. And more stress for me.

I am probably sounding whiny, so I will stop. I must only say that I thoroughly enjoyed my mini-Transfest. And I miss all of you wacky Brits. Enjoy your vests and eggs.

What happened to Lancaster?

Not in the last 2 weeks, the weather's been cookin' here.

It'll probably take awhile to settle back into normality but I'm sure you'll soon get in the swing of things mate. :)

There was no college in Lancaster. The school I've been going to is here. And it was nice to meet you too, Lee (or were you Don?) I was glad I wasn't the only one drinking Coke, you fiend.

I've always hated looking for jobs. Does everyone else hate it? A couple of years ago I had two interviews in a row, from which I didn't get the job. I think I'm still bitter over it, and over being fired from my last one, which I really liked. Don't you ever wish people would hand you money for being brilliant and cranky? This whole website would be full of millionaires.

Anyway, thanks for letting me sound off. I still have more, if that wasn't enough.
