I'm back again Too much to do (mainly the 3 bags of clothing I have to wash by hand) and stress about money. I get about 300 euros a month, but I'm not sure if it'll continue and I need that money for my singing lessons and even more for food (that would require only a 100 euros a month which I will get it's the law I just agve to fill a paper and take it to social service) and I'm also worried about the job I'll be given and how I'll do in school one I'm well enough to continue... Doodles, the idea about doing a presentation on wolves sounds good. I sort of did a presentation on wolves a few years ago, but I focused more on the damage wolves do to lifestock, hunting them and alternative ways of protecting livestock from wolves. There's alot of info on wolves and different angles to do presentation on them.

Thanks Snowwie and a big hi to you. I did the presentation last Wednesday and was supposed to find out my result yesterday, but wasn't feeling well enough to attend the lesson (I did get out of watching the Romeo & Juliet film though). The past few days I've had a similar bug to what everyone else seems to have at the moment, as in a sore throat, cold, likely ear infection, fever, coughing episodes and just, being shattered and just feeling rough. I haven't retired to bed or wrapped myself up in layers, but going out yesterday took a lot out of me and the cold just made me keep coughing. I didn't really have the fever today and apart from feeling hyper a lot, I still have the rest of things.
My bank account nearly always says DR and I'm finding it harder now. There's some things I want to do, but can't. It's looking like I'm going to have to be all Bah Humbug with Christmas this year. I got my dad to buy me some things and said that I'll pay him back. Good thing he said that I can have them as presents because goodness know when I would be able to pay him back. I had to apply for a US passport the other week, which I talked my dad into paying for as a Christmas present for me. There's no way I would've been able to afford US$75. I'm still living with my parents out of neccessity because there's no way I could afford to move to my own place and I can't find work. I did go to the doctor today and am finally going to get letters done to mention about my tiredness, poor memory and hopefully my poor concentration. Hopefully the Job Centre will ease back and stop forcing me and they wont come down so hard when I've forgotten to fill out a form or haven't got an application form in because I struggle to think what to put on the application form. I've got a form to fill in at the moment and most of the time it's out of my mind and forgotten about. Sometimes my brain goes into overload and it gets in a muddle and I seem under a massive pile of stuff that all seems too much for me. It's then that I get a mass of bad thoughts and emotions and well as feeling in a constant bad mood and sometimes like I just want to expload. That's one of the last things I need right this moment. This is actually the first time in a while that I've told myself that I'm not upto things and not gone into college and my course.

I'm back - again ;D Had computer problems for ages so was hardly using it - but now I've got a brand new one that doesn't freeze all the time and is a whole lot faster as well

Hi, haven't posted anything for a while, but I've had the occasional look at ancient topics in here - some of them are quite funny I met my favourite man on the 25th of January...Paul McGillion, the Scots-Canadian actor who plays (among other roles) Dr. Carson Beckett in Stargate Atlantis ;D He was doing an autograph signing thing in the A1 Comics store in Glasgow's Braehead shopping centre. He was so handsome and so easy to talk to! He's exactly my type, his personality is amazing...of course it was his looks that attracted me in the first place, but I wouldn't fancy him if he didn't have the lovely personality that he does. Watching lots of videos of him doing his stuff at conventions just confirms that even more (plus the countless fans that have met him before I did). I'm in love! ;D And I can say that because I've met him, I just need to meet him more (I still appreciate John Simm, David Tennant and Phil Glenister of course, but it's different now. I don't really think of them in "that way" any more...it's almost like Paul was my boyfriend... )

Hello. I've only seen the first four episodes of SG:A, and that was a while ago, so I won't pretend I'm as big a fan of Paul McGillion as you. I've taken a look at his Wikipedia entry. Interesting to think that if his Star Trek audition had gone differently, he'd be known to many as 'the new Scotty' now!

I wish he had won the role, he's a brilliant actor who really deserved it. Simon Pegg was fab, but...the role should've gone to a REAL Scotsman

Given that Scotty wasn't played by a Scot the first time round, and was popular enough back in spite of that handicap, I disagree. ;D In terms of sci-fi and Scotland, I think Karen Gillan is going to do you proud in the near future. McGillion, Gillan... must be something in the name.

Karen Gillan will be brilliant, she's using her own Scottish accent in the role as well, so I've heard I wish Paul'd got a bigger role than "barracks officer" in Star Trek - but I suppose it could've been worse, he could've been cast as a red-shirted security officer

I can't recall the barracks officer, but I'm fairly sure he survived the movie, so maybe he'll find his way onto the Enterprise for the sequels... Perhaps we'll get to hear Amy's voice when they release the new trailer later today. She's very cute; but to read that some people are already 'looking forward to Amy femslash'... I can't say I'm comfortable with that. Talking of Scottish actors and actresses, I didn't realise until last year that Audrey Jenkinson, a.k.a. Gretel, was one.
