I am not sure that is a good thing. LOL. Once I was on camp. Just a little bit hyper, we went to do archary. The instructor instantly said I am one of those special people. He was being horrible. Funny thing was, by the end of camp, I was the only young person they took serious. They said I am very sensible. The thing is, although I am very hyper, I kinda know where some boundaries are, I think.

I kinda got told off on another forum. LOL. I only joined today. I doubt they will take me serious there either. Just one person took me serious at the start.

Anywho... Hows things?

Nice site, Pirate! Did you hardcode it or use a builder?

I used a builder. Some parts are coded though. Those part I had difficulty with. A friend asked that I add a HTML code for scrolling. So I think that along with the cork board will be a future task to solve. I have a few more articles of Mr A to enter then I am up for idea's on a new volume. I have been trying for ages to find a way to get Mr A Stories in a format they can be viewed. At some school friends request. Lot's of idea's will be cool.

I took a quick look. Plasticman makes more sense now that I've seen his picture (and nanuman his/its tracks!). While I don't think it may be a good idea to reveal too many personal details, I'm hoping to see and hear more about going to uni in Hull. I have a special place in my heart in regards to Hull because of Philip Larkin (google his name if you don't know him).

First Sight

Lambs that learn to walk in snow
When their bleating clouds the air
Meet a vast unwelcome, know
Nothing but a sunless glare.
Newly stumbling to and fro
All they find, outside the fold,
Is a wretched width of cold.

As they wait beside the ewe,
Her fleeces wetly caked, there lies
Hidden round them, waiting too,
Earth's immeasureable surprise.
They could not grasp it if they knew,
What so soon will wake and grow
Utterly unlike the snow.

(Philip Larkin)

heh. Thanks Abinadi's Fire.

I've been reading through Larkin this morning because I always start into to lit courses with "The Be The Verse." I often use others of his as well ("An Arundel Tomb" and "MCMXIV"). I like libraries, librarians, accessions desks, and Larkin's dyspepsia. I hope to make a pilgrimage to the Hull University library one day in his honor. Perhaps, pirate could do this for me as a kind of "proxy work?"

The idea is that there are no tracks. It is ironic and hard to explain. Nanuman doesn't really exist in the article, but the reporter is taking nothing to be nanumans tracks. Does that make sense? The tracks are a grid of nothing. But in real life Nanuman is my best friend Nanuja. We call her nanuman. We also say.. na na nana na na nana nuja. Like batman, but nuja instead.

I didn't write anything about Hull on there. Did I? There is a "Larkin" building in uni. It is just on the way in, I think they teach languages and English in there. I am kinda all over the place. I am rarely actually in the Physics building. I think one of my lectures are in the larkin building this semester. "Preparing for Learning". Oh I talked about lecturers keeping their pens. Yeah That sucks. A lot of my creativity comes from writing on the boards. I once came up with a theory that I wrote all over the board and my teacher actually liked it. He agree's with me. I drew mainly cartoons though. And controversial idea's. Hmm.. Some might have gotten me into trouble if I weren't careful. I wish I took more pictures of them.

Thank you - this is the first I've heard of Larkin, sorry to say. I really liked that poem and will look into more of his work.

Whenever you are near let me know. The library is the Brymer Jones library. It is huge. We physicists are right at the top. There were a lot of famous people from Hull. Like William Wilberforce.

What is it you would like me to do? Like get you information from the library or something?
