"Everybody I know is at the prom"

I feel a bit of a knob for not going but still glad I didn't.

And richer too

Will you marry me?

In Auldhouse apparently.

Yeah, that would cost me a week's wage for a taxi there and back.

Anyone got a novelty SHEEPY mask?

I'll go instead of him, wearing the mask...

To be honest, I'm ready for bed.

I'll look like a right knob if they're still dressed up... I'll go to bed and leave mobile on.

MSN... now...

Ther after-party is best. All I remember about the end of our year 11 prom is stealing a crate of beer while the people who owned it shouted at me to stop running away and bring it back. As we weren't allowed to drink inside, most people were either totally or nearly sober, and so the standard hatreds showed through the entire evening.

Yep, there drunk. I might be going to an aftershow party it seems.

yeah, sorry about that, got sidetracked for a minute. Most of the sci-fi novels I've read come from the 'masterworks' collection on Amazon. Phillip K Dick is probably my favourite writer, in particular A Scanner Darkly. There are a list of about 50 great books in that collection from the past 50 years or so. Worth a look.

Also though, stephen king is great. the stand is probably my fave book, and I was thinking of ordering 'the long walk'.

Those two genres are about as far as I go at the moment. i was thinking of getting those lord of the ring books, but am not sure.
