I tried going vegetarian for a while after I met my boyfriend. I suppose I did it because I didn't want him to think I was unhealthy. I think I also did it to try and make myself like veggies. I only stuck with it around him mostly. I'd say the relationship lasted a lot longer than the vegetarianism did seeing as I'm now married to the man in question, lol.

Of course, Lord of the Rings. I think Peter Jackson did a terrific job with a lot of material. I'm also looking forward to seeing what HBO do with George Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series.

Out of sheer boredom I decided to go back and read my Livejournal right back to the first post I ever made, over 3 years ago. :P Discovered some interesting things back there, including the fact that I used to curse a lot in my entries. I also realised how much pressure I used to be under, with all the visa stuff and whatnot. Thinking back, I still feel kinda odd not having that pressure there.

I dunno, the PC decade maybe? The decade when political correctness has gone completely and irretrievably overboard. :P

It's a stupid, stupid, stupid thing to be doing. First off, you're messing with nature (big no-no in my book) and nature will come back to kick you up the arse for that, it always does. Second, just cloning the sheep had tons and tons of problems, especially with things like disease. You really want a diseased version of yourself running around? And third, you've lost your uniqueness now there's someone else just like you running around. Scientists shouldn't be looking at doing it just because they want to see if they can, there's other stuff they should be doing, like looking for cures for AIDS and cancer.

I went to the local public school till about 3rd grade, then my mother got fed up of them treating me like I was stupid and a misbehaving brat, even though I had a known learning disorder. Plus that school didn't have a very good reputation then, so she pulled me out and put me in private school that went all the way up to 12th grade. Unfortunately my time at the other school made me so shy I had trouble making friends at my new school. I think I did ok though, it got better in high school when I began to care less about it.

Personally I think smoking is a nasty habit. Why do people wanna make themselves sick smoking something that they know isn't good for them?

I liked the smoking ban that England brought in, meaning that non-smokers can go down to the pub now and not have smoke blown in their faces. Pubs used to be full up of people lighting up, now they're not. It bugs me though that smokers are getting all uptight about it, saying they can't enjoy their time down the pub anymore. Hey if you wanna smoke, fine, you can go outside and not blow your second-hand smoke in my face. You choose to smoke, not me and I don't want cancer because you think you ought to be allowed to blow smoke in my face.
