It's all the crap I should have been doing when I was on here in the day that's the problem. Like getting a job, or finishing off my uni application, or booking a driving test. or buying food. Or even having a shower.

Converting journal articles to .pdf files to e-mail to people too lazy to come to the library and look at the journals themselves. And I actually am doing that. It makes for inefficient posting, but whatev.

What am I really doing? Posting on NS and reading The Anti-Christ.

I should either be cleaning or looking for a new job. I quit my other one due to my tweaker boss and decided to take a couple months off to get my kid back on track in school, which thankfully worked as he is now on the honor roll. Unfortunately I am still sick. This normally last 3 weeks to a month without antibiotics, so I'll have to hold off on looking for work. Darn. I know. Excuses, excuses.

I had to learn it after living in Cyprus for a number of years :p It helped me with my english and french though...the more languages you know, the better. It helps a ton with the spelling.

Sure, sure, you just keep telling yourself you won.... (where's my patronising nodding smiley when I need him?!)

Though I seem to remember you saying things along these lines...

"damn!
ok you win again" [note the "again"]

"amy is right.... ammmmy is riiiiight... amy is riiiiiighhtt... " [note the fact that you describe me as "right"]

"damn! you're specialer AND you use a specialer browser
i'll admit it i'm pwned" [note the admittance of me being "specialer" and you being "pwned"]

Oh, and you didn't seem to argue when I said this....

"you get to have the official winner of arguments be in love with you (and of course, give you fluffles)"

Therefore, you accepted my title as "official winner of arguments" ;)

Now, if you were really the winner, would you be so terribly inconsistent? :p

C'mon... admit it. I kick your ass at these arguments :D :fluffle:

EDIT: Okay, I just saw your white text. So you did admit it. Woooo! :p

"Why did Europe become Secular?" - 2500 words, using at least 5 sources. For History, in my first year of uni.

Bit of an open ended question - but the reading list seems to suggest I have to concentrate on the impact of The Enlightenment. So, being in the library all day reading about Voltaire, Hume, Rousseau and the other philosophes. Gonna put in a bit about The Renaissance, The Reformation and humanism as well, along with some sociological theories, like people devoting less time to the spiritual and thought of the otherworld as life in this world became better and more hopeful.

But, enough of that, so i'm getting high and watching a few movies.
