Educate yo'selfs on some jog-raphy, and stop asking such stupid questions.
About Me
- Name: Autumn
- Location: Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom
Look, I'd like to tell you more about myself, but I really hate these kinds of things. It seems really conceited if I go on about myself in anyway -- obviously loathed to do it. But then I think, "Maybe someone gives a shit."
Walt Whitman wrote in Leaves of Grass: "Do I contradict myself? Fine, I contract myself. I'm large and I contain multitudes." I always thought that Walt wasn't the only one. And anyway, if you want to know more about me, read the blogs.
- Hey, there are LOADS of cool things further down the page! Just scroll down.
Would you move thousands of miles away from everyone and everything that you knew and held dear to be with the one you loved? Man... that was a STUPID thing I did.

OH MY GOD! You sounded so damn British. every word out of you mouth had an enflection, or a pacing that was very NONAmerican. I hope you have fun with the in-laws. So glad its not me!! ha-ha-ha
To be honest, when I get to Yorkshire, I involuntarily put on this Yorkshire accent. But the Boy puts his on much thicker as well. I don't know what it is about a northern English accent. I can't help but affect it.
Why do you have to soak the ballons before you blow them up? Is it to soften them up?
I guess so. They are very tough and you're not able to blow them up on their own. We gave one to Bil2 for Zebedee, Dougal and Dylan. They only got about a foot and a half long before it burst. I went back to Leeds to try and find the Giant Balloon Dude, but he wasn't there. Lucky him, I was ragin'.
I mean, I paid 50p!
