Hallelujah
Today I had a revelation......
Most of the time when I'm with my friends I feel like the biggest dunce EVER...., and I couldn't feel more so unless I was made to wear the pointy hat and sit in the corner.
They always seem to know so much about everything; food, the world, religion (its not difficult to impress me with that though as I am somewhat un-religious), people, politics and in fact life in general.
Up until today I felt so backward, so lost and in short Stu-pid (capital s) and then I realised..... these people that I look up to, Jo, Emzee & Liz in particular - and who have always answered my inane questions and not made me feel stupid- have AT LEAST EIGHT YEARS ON ME. They've travelled the world and have families and all come from such different backgrounds to me..... of course I'm going to feel like I don't know so much around them.
Also the fact that they are all heaps smart contributes to this.
Come to think of it compared to the few people I know that are my age I'm not so dumb.
Further to this, here are some things I know that they may not..... (not that its a competition, but I'll feel better)
- when the song Khe Sanh (Cold Chisel, C.L.A.S.S.I.C) was released it was banned in South Australia
-Shakespeare invented the word 'bubbles'
- this ---> & <--- is called an ampersand
-ancient Egyptians used to use crushed up beetles for make-up
-up until the massacre at Port Arthur it was legal to own an AK-47 but illegal to be gay
- September 19 is International talk like a pirate day ... yar
- Greenland was not named so because it was green, it was named Greenland to trick people into thinking it was green and not horribly cold so they would go and settle there ......Genius
-the electric chair was invented by a dentist
It's not much, but it's mine

The child having been shaken up hard (two or http://startso11.info/gry.pl+metal+slug+4.html three others helping Christopher), rubbed his eyes and began to whine..
