Hallo
Okay. Just did maths. It was fine. There was this one question, "JOhn's mortgage has gone from £916 to £919.24. What is the percentage difference?" and I couldn't for the life of me remember how to work it out. Any help here would be good, because it's annoying me. I like to know things.
There was also a question where we got marks for filling in a cheque. That was surprising, because our teacher never told us that cheques would be in it. But it was a gift anyway. ^_^

Science. Oooooh dear. I sort of know my chemistry, now that I've looked over some stuff on bitesize. It's all starting to come back to me: sure, I have to go over a few details, but it's relaxing to know that it's not as much as I thought.

Okay then. I was talking to my friend Matthew in town today. That boy rocks. Lol. He likes Tim Burton, lol. That's enough for me.

Well. I'm really tired. I was reading "King Soloman's Mines" last night, and I got a little carried away. Then I read some of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" because I felt like it. I tend to read stories which concern a large journey. I think it's because I'd like to go on one myself, and explore things. It's strange, but there it is.

I would dearly love to live back in the old times when you could go on a journey and never know what might meet you. The old superstitions made it interesting. You never know, you could see a dragon. Lol. Now, what with the satellite business, you know exactly what's what. Well, okay: we don't know much about the Pictish people, or all about the Olmec's and the Aztecs and the Incas. That's what I'd love to discover.

I'm quite old fashioned, really. I prefer to write letters to people than to send them an e-mail. I'd prefer to walk, or go on horseback, than ride in a car. It's a little odd, because it doesn't work in the technological world. It's too far behind everyone else - but I love Jane Austen's kind of world. I'd love to live as a lady there. Wow.

That's why I love Lord of the Rings, the books. The language is exquisite. The way the characters speak is so beautiful. Everything is like the old kingdoms; it's my ideal world, in a way - you know, except for the threat of Mordor and all. Lol.

If you could choose where to be born, and the time period - anything on earth - what would you choose?
