There are a few things I thoroughly look forward to happening in the future solely because they'll ensure I'll feel like less of an idiot. Number one is getting older, because then when I say "oh yeah, so I bought series four of Buffy The Vampire Slayer on DVD the other day" people won't look at me and think "my word, he is young and immature", instead they'll say "my word, this is a man who understands the values of late 90's American TV programs and the wider ramifications in our social culture" and I'll feel all the better about myself. Similarly, number two, I look forward to when I get back my bulky full manual SLR camera so I can hold it around my neck whilst I take photographs with my compact digital camera and thereby avoiding looks that imply "what is that strange man taking photos of me for" or "this isn't a tourist site, why is this man taking photos of it" and instead get looks that say "oh gosh, he looks professional, I hope I get into the daily papers / National Geographic / Heat". Also, I think I look forward to this internet phenomenon wearing off a bit and this internet everyday-part-of-life setting in, so when I tell people that yesterday I spent half an hour writing a website entry with no discernible humour or point they won't look at me like I'm insane.
You have two options in expressing yourself publicly on this site. If you have a new fangled blog type website (like this one) you can write what you want to say on your own site and link to this entry. I'll register that you've written something about it and provide a link to it below (this is called a trackback). If you don't have a website or just don't want to waste its time with me then you can add a good old fashioned comment. Fill in the blanks and press go to make your opinion heard among handfuls!
A few lines need to be said here. I'm currently a youth worker, therefore I have to watch how I interact with young people. Therefore if you're a young person whom I know through work you need to ask your parents permission to comment on this. That sucks I know, but it gives you something other than voting and drinking to look forward to when you hit eighteen.

These html tags are cool: b, i, u, s, del, ins, em, strong, sup, sub, a href and blockquote. You can get away with some images.
