I'm not sure, but I don't think twitter is a credited. Its just a bunch of people saying stuff.

Well.. I went to my friends viewing tonight. Normally I practice almost Vulcan-like self-discipline when showing my emotions (I don't: this is both a help and hindrance in some cases) but today I did end up crying a little. It got more difficult the closer we got to the casket. It was an open casket so we could see him lying there... If anyone is interested
Here is my tribute (note, not my picture).

OH MM&I, He was such a good looking young man. I' m so sorry love.
I know it is hard. I'm the one who found my friend, Jay-Bird. I tried to check him. I ran two doors down and got his brother before the police,and coroner got there. I was in soldier mood,direct and in charge. Still, this thought haunts me,"should I have gotten Nate? Or should I have let the police do it?" I know I would want to know, and get there before the authorities. Still, he's been much different towards me since I was charged to be the bearer of horrible news. J-Bird was such a handsome, loving, and smart man. Everyone's lives he touched, the loss was great, and we all still feel it.

Harry, you don't need a compass. Just note where the sun sets, and you can work it out from there.

No, the compasses in Watts only have one direction: "the way out, cracker."

That sounds like a much better, hassle free idea!

Forgot as well that I have GPS on my phone that I can configure to show me North if I move about a bit! Failing that, I guess I can just look around the sky quickly and a lot

Yea.. it's one of those things that'll stick with us forever. Can you imagine what class reunion's will be like now?
And yes, I did borrow two sci-fi references in my tribute[/nerd]

My diploma course school, Brune Park, Took me and the rest of the diploma students to see the live production of Quadrophenia at the Mayflower in southampton last night. I've never been to a live show before, and since I had no idea what Quadrophenia was about prior to the evening, so some of it confused me. However, it was without a doubt one of the best things I have ever been too. The cast were amazing, brilliant singers and the songs they chose were fantastic. We even had a question time with the four main roles of the play. Fantastic.
However, it has made me unbelievably tired since I am not good with late night events. It didnt finish until 11, and since we had to drop of students to two other schools, Brookfields and Portchester, we took forever to get home. Of course I had a geography GCSE trip today.
I'm virtually comatosed.
And I have my granddad's funeral on monday. After living in moderate discomfort for ages, he gave up a couple of weeks back. A combination of meningoencephalitis and neumonia got him in the end, after he took a load of pills to try and Kill himself again.

As controversial as it is here in the US, I 'm for consented euthanasia for terminal cases. It's hard to let those you love go, yet i rather hold on to the good times.
Hell, we show dogs more mercy.

Sorry to hear it, Reliant. Take comfort in the fact that he's got his release.
