Haha, thank you. I'm still hoping by some miracle I'll pull a Harry Potter outta my ass but it's looking less and less likely. Plus my plot wasn't very original anyway. (It was original when I was 12!!! Then Buffy did an episode years later with the very same plot. I was gutted.)

You're up quite late tonight! Being all rebellious coz its Saturday eh?

They're very interesting.

English: I hate studying it. When I was a kid I wanted to be a writer. My plan was to pull a J. K. Rowling while I was in college, so I'd never have to get a job. Unfortunately, I lost my novel draft to an Epic Laptop Death about 3 years ago, so that was the end of that chapter.

Philosophy: I took this on secondary to english, but it's actually come out on top. I find it wee easy, even though most don't. I'm just mentally geared towards working out philosophy. So I figure it's what I should do.

As for lecturing to homronal students: its quite simple. They can do the work and get their degrees, or they can doodle on their books and fail. It makes no odds to me.

Posted on my page again

I'm in UCC (University College Cork) and I'm studying the Arts - doing a joint honours degree in Philosophy and English Literature. I like Philosophy more, so I'm probably going to do further study in that and aim for lecturing or some such. Any excuse not to get a real job

Its about a couple, one of whom has a genetic disorder that makes him jump backwards and forwards in time, basically. Sounds silly but the writing style is amaaaaazing.

Lexie also loves Kelley Armstrong, but I'm trying to stay away from the vampires for a while, Twilight was enough and you'd hate twilight. You really would. Don't bother til it's on sale.

Dorian Gray is an entirely other kettle of fish. Its a philosophical artwork. Its absolutely brilliant!

Yeah I reckon it probably will pick up towards the end. Its just the middle is a bit slow. Reading 'The Time Traveller's Wife' at the moment, on Lexie's recommedation, and so far it is BRILLIANT!

I have no good titles anyway I'm afraid, mine's plagarised from the words of Tim Minchin. 'And he keeps on writing songs the world will never hear, and though it sounds absurd he just keeps writing, and he will never be deterred - but he'll always be a fudgeed up little try-hard wannabe rock n' roll nerd!'

And don't buy the graveyard book! It started out well but I'm half way through and it's dragging. I actually gave up on it, and I *love* Neil Gaiman.

Haha which review did you read? They're all different lengths! (Thread has short, BCF has a bit more, my blog has novel-length ) But thank you all the same! I emailed the author last night and was chatting a bit - he's lovely! And working on a sequel to the book I read

And ooooh yess, the spinal op! Sorreh, I'm terribly forgetful!

Poor thing

I think the title-changing is relative to post count. Go into 'details' on your CP, and scroll down a tad to 'optional info.' It should be the first thing there. I think i got it when I hit 1000 posts.

*clicks "view conversation"*

YUSS! I *can* remember to do it! But yes, I am, indeed, a tit. Maybe I should make that my title. 'Roxi S.C. - BCF Reviewer - Tit.'

I posted the review in my thread and on my blog. And on the BCF blog, obviously. Theres links to all of them in my signature, 'blog' 'reviews (BCF)' and '2009 A-Z' goes to my thread.

Your back hurts coz you were walking around?? Humans are dvsigned to walk around you know... I'm kidding, I'm kidding! Don't throw things

The books I bought are in the 'what books came into your home' thread but prolly a couple pages back now, so:

Middlesex - J. Eugenides

Angelina's Children - A. Ferney

The Book Of Lost Things - John Connolly

The Sunday Philosophy Club - Alexander McCall Smith

Okay seriously. I did it again! I posted on my own profile! If I ever don't reply, come check my profile, coz I've probably replied to you in the wrong place!

I said:

I bought 18 euro worth of books (including shipping, excluding shipping it was about 2 euro haha) the other day. I cannot WAIT until I get them. Its been ages since I bought and read a book I didn't know much about!! Otherwise, I'm good. Completed and reviewed my first review book, second is on its way. Other than that, taking it easy.

Why are you sore??

Lol I'm pretty good.

My pasta binge ended at last! 8 days in a row. Thats gotta be some kinda record. I actually couldn't eat it all today, I was so sick of it i could practicaly hear my stomach going, 'no more! please, no more!'

I had nothing else for dinner though, so I ate some bread with mayo

How're you doing?

Good eve', good sir.
