I’m not related to them though 🙂 (My background’s largely Scottish, though we’ve been here a few generations.) I will compromise with you and Coldfire and simply claim the prize for the most obsessed American European football fan, erm, the most obsessed European football fan who’s from America that is. Not that there’s much competition, of course. ---

Don’t worry, I won’t turn to a life of crime, though there’s an english teacher whose guts I wouldn’t mind ripping out… and I could blame it on the bad influence of the Internet… You don’t have to review your posts for the eyes of the 9 year old. Just switch on the tv for a few hours and then see if there’s anything I haven’t heard or seen already. Adults are funny. They think we’re all so innocent and untouched by their swearing up and down at each other when they think we’re asleep. OR when they rent any movie and blast the volume up when, again, we’re supposedly asleep. K, so I’m a weird kid… sorry everyone. Just be glad my sis isn’t on the board, she’s 6, dangerous little ankle biter. AND she can tell any weirdo to fuck off. Being in grade 10 has expanded my vocabulary to include all sorts of nifty things. Really cool when it comes to scaring the crap out of my old great aunts (who smell funny - what is it about old aunts that makes them smell funny?) Frog. ---
