OK, so bearing in mind that I am always cranky, would you like to see me when I'm especially, super duper cranky? No, probably not. Anyway, I'm not always cranky. Was I cranky the last time you saw me? If I was, maybe it's because you were throwing sticks at me and saying I should be nice to my...

Jeremy, going to your afters (not my afters, Julia, their afters) is the very last thing I want to do. I'm tired and cranky and I am not going out at 11:30 in the evening. Anyway, my parents wouldn't let me. You may think that doesn't matter, but they'd be the ones picking me up, so in fact it...

I'm sorry I got so carried away. Steph hasn't answered any of her messages yet so I didn't have anything else to do. By the way, if she's not answering because I'm not on Facebook yet, tell her that is (a) hypocritical, since she didn't want to get it at first either, and (b) quite childish. I...

This is quite a long message, so I'll get this out of the way at the start, in case you've lost interest by the end. Did you get the messages I sent about Facebook? If not, to cut a long story short I can't get a broadband package that is compatible with my computer - my operating system is too...

The ideas in Star Wars aren't original though. The whole idea is the fight against the evil empire by a small group of renegades. That's as old as the Persian Wars! At their core, Lord of the Rings and Star Wars are very similar. Just substitute the Empire for Mordor, Luke Skywalker for Frodo...

What is wrong with you people? How can you get past the dialogue and the acting - they're both so crap! The sort of movie that would have Carrie Lewis (is that the one tha plays Leia) or Hayden Christensen in it deserves to go straight on the scrap heap. You're right that the sixth one was the...

Argh, Star Wars fans! Run away, run away! I am qualified to speak about this because I have, unfortunately, seen all six of them. NONE of them are good; that includes the originals. ALL of them are bad, especially the prequels. The dialogue is awful, but the actors can't deliver it anyway, so...

Woah, seems Julia and I posted messgaes at almost exactly the same time. Freaky. Yeah, I'm reading Tibullus at the moment, and trying to read Beowulf. I've got about 25 lines in and realised it might perhaps be a good idea if I knew some grammar before I started.

Yes, you really did make that typo. I can see how the trading a discman thing for a guitar would be symbolic. But discman for car? That's a Zara-style typo. (BTW Zara, that concert you saw wasn't 'assume' it was 'awesome'...I think). Your mum won't let you watch daytime TV? That's terrible...

Sometime between now and the next HSC I'll be at uni, so I can presumably use the internet there. Otherwise I could just look you up in the white pages and deliver them in person. What exactly do you want? I've got my assessment notes, which are about Aeneas and the Roman hero; Livy using...

Do you really think the whole freedom thing feels that good? I got that kick after the last English exam, but now I'm just feeling bored and slightly bad-tempered. I don't feel all that different to what I did before the exams, only now I can watch cricket and daytime/kids' TV without feeling...

Steph's just afraid that if she admits to being in love with Byronic bastards like Heathcliff it will say something disturbing about her psychology. I said to her a while ago that a psychiatrist would probably be quite interested in her and her passion for the Healhcliffs and Rochesters of the...

By the way, don't answer those two messgaes now, otherwise we'll be here all day, and I really should do something at some point. My point is valid. You'd love to be Mrs Heathcliff one day, wouldn't you? Just admit it. Go on, use one of them. I don't get what you meant by looking things...

Mrs Rochester then? Mrs Darcy? Mrs Thucydides perhaps? Mrs Marple? I don't know what you expect. Yes, it seems that argument is over. Now hang on while I answer your second message.

As you know I only skim read these posts, so I may have missed that. As I said, it was just a passing observation about our top five. Kind of like when someone stops on the street and points and something as says 'ooh, isn't that strange' and then keeps wlaking, much as they seem to have done to...

Again, I admit that I'm not speaking from experience about higher levels of maths. Nevertheless, you'd be drawing a fairly long bow to claim that maths really was a discursive subject. The argument in maths, the way you show how your answer is the answer, is not an argument in the same sense...

Yeah? Try 'pleasure' and 'anxiety' for postmodernism. Hearing pleasure was at the heart of postmodernism was news to me - it's certainly not given me any. Anxiety, on the other hand... I'm not in the habit of discussing Dr Johnson regularly. We were talking about when English spellings were...

My creative question wasn't so bad - I wrote about Dr Johnson's dictionary, which was a bit of a coincidence, actually, since I was talking about that to someone as I walked into the exam room. But it's postmodernism, so you can write just about anything and get away with it. I saw that locket...
