So if I make some inocuous comment about how shit and morally bankrupt the Satan occupied US of A is, and assuming that I was actually joking I'd have to use a or ?

Well, had I been here at the begining of this thread, my advice would have been to finish the degree ASAP. Looks like you are doing that, and to follow up, I'd say going to the UK would be a good plan. And then become a writer.

Well, you have to keep in mind that people who live in the US don't live in England, by definition. :-)

Two classes and four short stories to write and you're COMPLAINING? Look, that problem with the short attention span is a Gemini thing. I have it, too, but school forces me to actually get things done. If you really want to do something you like, bear with these two classes for a while until you can go somewhere and take stuff you want. Buy some books on novel writing. They'll all tell you, the best way to combat laziness is to write three pages a day, everyday. No more, no less. This presumably will become a habit if you keep at it, but that hasn't happened to me yet since I'm still stuck trying to come up with a good story. That and I don't really write fast, but YOU do, so three pages isn't that much for you, is it? But do buy a couple of books on creative writing, because there are many mistakes that make you stand out as an amateur, and with these writing guides you don't have to learn from too many rejections.
Or you can apply to be a game tester. The going rate is 15 bucks an hour.

UM: I thought the same thing, but then I realized "Good advice" was a reference downward, not upward. Unless Diane is really DARKSTAR, and she's try to drop us a clue... *L*
And no, we don't have any fields in the US. The last one was turned into a strip mall in 1987.

And I'd like to complain that the short attention span is a Gemini thing. I'm a Virgo, and my attention span is so short that I've had to come back to the computer three times oper the space of 2 hours just to type this.
Simon's short attention span is not caused by him being a Gemini. It's caused by him being a fat lazy arse.

Get his ticket punched? You mean: cash in his meal ticket?
Liam, I'm a virgo as well! Perhaps Gemeni and virgos are doomed to live a life of short attention spans.
