in holland the salt that is used to keep the streets clean has been used within 3 weeks, while normally their stock would have lasted for the winter.... a lot of villages only salt their main roads because of it. but I don't really mind, only thing I mind is the coooooold

happy birthday sweety!!

happy birthday ^^

that is why one of my characters is so damn gay in any way possible, it pulls up the gayness of the others I have been thinking about it ever since I heard the first complaints about stereotypes, and to be honest I barely have read any of those.... So maybe I just pick the right ones or I don't see them.... But also, the same thing applies for me if I would write a Goth character or a Black Metal one. I have seen so many people that are living stereotypes that it would turn out laughable... So I would tone-down a lot of the things they'd say and do... Though if people write stereotype jocks no-one complains

pepperoni, green peppers and cheeze ^^ total LOVE ^^

Interesting read did have one thing that made me laugh real hard: What about butch/femme dynamics? Someone is always "the man" and the other is "the woman", right? Wrong. Very wrong. While many gay couples do enjoy a butch/femme setup in their relationship, and follow a lot of the same gender guidelines that straight couples do, many other couples are femme/femme, butch/butch, or I-hate-gender-roles/I-hate-gender-roles. Have a lesbian couple with two femmes? They both buy each other flowers. Have a lesbian couple with two butches? They hate flowers and buy each other a nice shirt.

actually why change what is going well? so my resolutions are: - do homework - write angsty stories - have sex with boyfriend - sleep over 12 hours a day when together with boyfriend - love life but I do have some goals: - get into uk uni - get finance for uk uni - finish this school year but yeah, those are connected anyway

Well you could rewrite it. But like wildone said, don't delete it but lock it away. I haven't read the story but if you feel like rewriting do it, it's your work

great story Loved the read and I agree with Neph, the alien guy sounds hot ^^

@ tarin, the problem with Exeter is that it doesn't have a Creative writing course... Which is the course I want to take... Thanks for the idea anyway @ neph, that get together might happen anyway, just need to make sure I have the money and the time So even if I don't get in the get together should happen @ smarties, I have gotten in touch with most IO's some haven't mailed me back but yeah well... happens. Right now my list that I have applied to: 1 Chichester, in the south, close to the sea, DUH! Plus their course is said to be pretty good. 2 Bolton, in the north, good course plus one of my Fav writers (Melvin Burgess) visited there to give a class and he is awesome! 3 Bath Spa, in the middle, pretty big but also looks pretty good and has been on my list from the start. Plus with a name like that, who doesn't want to go there? 4 Lancaster, they didn't reply but it's on the top list of good schools(by far on my list) and sounds pretty awesome. they even have a gothic reading club Like YAY! 5 ?? not sure yet.... Still looking around for what to do... Any idea's? For all of the uni's I applied for Creative Writing and Literature, which keeps my options open and also enables me to switch if I might want to later on. Now I just need to get the finance done and than I can wait for the end of March when their mail will get in ^^

happy birthday benji!!!!!

Okay Bolton told me that I would be accepted if I finish my year here and don't fail any classes Oh yeah, have to pass the IELTS test too, but not really worrying about that one Chichester told me that they would look at my grades if I apply first, I can live with that Roehampton told me I can only get in when I have a vwo certificate and all my grades are 7/10 and English is at least 8/10..... Which is simple ridiculous.... If I went to secondary education in the UK I would have to have a B in a A grade and 2 C's.... meaning either one 6/10 and 2 5/10 or if I look at it less positive a 7/10 and 2 6/10.... Which I could live with.... but we have 10 classes that we graduate in (well graduate in 8 out of the 10 anyway), so that would mean I'd have to get a crazy ammount of grades.... with grades like that we can get into medical school without having to do any tests on forehand..... Crazy I tell you..... So yeah, not mailing them back..... so till this moment I have 2 uni's I might apply to and my mentor at school toild me he would love to write my letter of recommendation

Right now, the 2 personal e-mails were from Chichester and Bath Spa, they are 6th and 2nd on my list. Gonna ask around there first, didn't get a mail back from York yet. Though York dropped from being 1st to being 5th on the list since I didn't look right and it turns out to be York St John... so yeah, waiting for their mail. For now, till I have all my e-mails replied, I'm not gonna mail back the ones which didn't give me a personal mail but just send me a standard form thing.... I think it means a lot when universities don't just send you a standardized e-mail when you ask a pretty specific question.... though that bar does sound awesome ^^

I would like that tomon. I send out e-mails today, a couple I got back were only ones linking to websites I already read and didn't have interesting information to me, and only 2 were personally answered and I'm gonna look into those 2 first.... so yeah, next couple of days are going to be interesting....

Slim pickings lead to Drastic propositions by Ishtani one of my all time favs

messages yes, ofcourse, but hell, I sometimes just have to spend too much time away from my guy or my computer And I like being naughty but pictures? my phone doesn't even allow me to send them, can't even upload them to my comp.... Can take them but that's it and there is not that much fun in making pics of yourself and keeping them to yourself... so nope.... But I've got a lot of issues with teens and naked/indecent pictures..... according to my (then) 13 year old lil sister who put pictures of herself looking like a child hooker on places like hyves and such.... When I commented on it she told me that yes she sometimes got messages about it from old guys but she just 'ignored' them..... meh..... she just doesn't see the evil in it and it happens a lot like that until one of those guys gets hold of their address or phone number..... Or publishes them at other places..... but maybe that is just me......

thanks Smarties, things like that are very useful well, I hope I can get the list down to a reasonable amount by the end of this weekend

Break-up suck.... I've never had a nice break-up anyway.... always trouble.... Ahwell, everybody gets over it at some point. Maybe you could barge it at your friends place with a lot of chocolate and funny movies. Sometimes people just want company but don't know how to ask for it and instead push people away. It's always worth a try right?

awwh, how cute ^^

This is my list of 15 uni's that have my subject..... from best rated to worst rated... I'm gonna send emails about my situation to all of them and then I'll probably have a smaller list. After that I'm gonna see if I can get my finances right and gonna apply. I hope I 'll be abe to do that soon..... list: york, Lancaster, Bath Spa, Gloucesrershire, bolton, Chichester, Roehampton, Edge Hill, Huddersfield, Northumbria, Hertfordshire, Glamorgan, Westminister, Plymouth, Middlesex

Right now I'm looking through two league tables (guardians and Pushs) and dotting all the uni's that have creative writing courses combines with lit or anything else fun boring but very useful

great chapter ^^ I love it and it's soooo sweet ^^

Good luck with the work for school, I've been fighting my way through Java lately and I really understand why all those programmer moan about coding all the time have fun

THESE are the 110 uni's I'm allowed to apply to. I need to be able to at least get an official Bachelors degree, since after that one I can do my master practically everywhere.... I want to go next year...... of the dates I saw january 15th was the first I needed to get stuff sorted out (not sure what anymore since I was looking at all different types of websites at the same time....), so yeah, not that much time to sort things out, but at the same time enough to make me decide whether I want to really continue this or not.... ECTS are nice but not something I need to worry about.... *looks* yeah january 15th is deadline for UCAS....

hi guys, I'm getting lost in all of the websites about uni's in the UK. So rather than spending 100 hours looking around for the HOW and WHEN and WHERE I need to make everything work and than spending the next 500 hours looking through 110 uni's that are available for applying to and than figuring out what courses they have. To conclude that I was too late to sign in for anything and need to look for something else entirely..... So I figured I could at least ask you guys for some help. I'm looking for a uni in the UK where I can follow a full English course(undergraduate and also post-graduate if possible) and with writing, editing and other writing and reading related courses. I can follow English at uni in Holland but it's mostly cultural related and there are no writing classes at all. It's main focus is on translating and cultural aspects and I'm not really interested in those. So who knows a good uni that has a good English course or can help me out in another way? Greets Kia The list of uni's I can choose from (from high on the lists to low on the lists) 1. Lancaster (don't have a mail back from them yet) 2. Bath Spa (still in contact) 3. Gloucestershire (got automated mail so no attention yet) 4. Bolton (GOT ACCEPTED IF I HAVE A GOOD IELTS SCORE AND FINISH THIS YEAR) 5. York St Yohn (no mail back yet) 6. Chicester (told me that they would look further at my qualifications if I apply and have a good IELTS score) 7. Roehampton (Crazy people.... >< (see post)) 8. Edge Hill (auto mail) 9. Huddersfield (no mail back) 10. Northumbria (still in contact) 11. Hertfordshire (no mail back) 12. Glamorgan (no mail back) 13. Westminister (auto mail) 14. Plymouth (no mail back) 15. Middlesex (stupid auto mail) 'accepted': Bolton, Chichester auto mail, so not gonna pay attention unless I don't have 6 uni's to apply to: Gloucestershire, Edge Hill, Westminister, Middlesex no mail back: 6 to go
