lol Amanda,I trust you got that information out of a dictionary-because it would be slightly unnerving if you didn`t.I forgot about using a dictionary-silly me.But I still don`t understand those long words in amandas definition maybe someone could perhaps explain it to me in English?

No, Andrew, I actually wrote that off the top of my head. I am so smart ... I am so smart! S-M-R-T! I mean, S-M-A-R-T!!

It means you have a fear and loathing of countries that are not your own. But in your case, you have a fear and loathing of any country, including your own.

I`m so fucking bored-My Dad won`t take me anywhere and i can`t go anywhere cus theres about 1 miles worth of snow everywhere,i`m just hoping someone goes in chat,IM FUCKING BORED! I suppose I could do my homework which im falling drastically behind on-but that would be silly now.Or I could watch Gladiator-one pukka film!It has my favourite line from any film in.It goes- `And if you so much as look at me,in a manner which displeases me-I shall kill you.`Pure genius.Or i could help my Mom cook dinner-but unless she wants beans on toast-i`m no help.Amanda I went on your website again earlier-it`s very good.
