First, to anyone who saw the wedding post I accidentally posted here..heh, just be glad I'm not on any weirder communities :) (Though with me, the worst you'd be likely to get is some technical discussion on right-angle-weave beading or abstract algebra)

Also, Alinta Gas, Australia Post and the Commonwealth Bank are all out to get me. It's all fixed, though now the phone company is refusing to acknowledge a bill as being paid... Man, I was having a bad drawing day. Oh well.

Finally, something that keeps coming up in conversation but I don't want to derail the topic just to settle a minor point of accuracy: I get the feeling some people think I'm really very jewish, which I'm not. Not that this is the worst thing ever, I just like things being categorised correctly. My mothers mother was brought up as a liberal jew and became an atheist, while my mothers father and everyone on my dads side is whitebread anglo/irish/ukranian etc. I was brought up to be an anglican and then became an atheist. I didn't even realise I was of jewish descent till I was about 10, but still feel a disproportionate connection to that side of the family because my dad and mums dad are not the sort to talk about their families, while my mum and mums mum so incredibly are :) By one definition I am 100% jewish (since it carries down the maternal line) but by most others I'm really not. There!

Oh, yeah, and I and Cam are thinking of moving to England in a few years (just for a while, not permanently). You all knew that, right? *cough*

In other news, I have a headache.

There are better communities around, I just don't remember what they are.

You possibly did mention it in your blog. I managed to miss Pam & Chris's engagement and wedding announcements in Pam's LJ, so sometimes my reading leaves a little to be desired in terms of, well, reading everything.

...very good reading for LOTR, though. I almost completely miss the long descriptive passages.

Eh, I don't pay them that much attention, it's just good for a wide variety of ideas and opinions, even if most don't apply :) I also read a perth one. Being engaged does funny things to your brain .

I have really quite remarkably bad reading comprehension, any time I give Cam crap about reading slowly he accuses me of being incapable of reading and only skimming stuff, which is not entirely inaccurate.
