Hello lj, it’s been a while.

Yeah there’s not been a proper update from me in a while. The past few weeks have been hectic because of end of term deadline and life in general on Friday after I handed in the last piece of coursework I had a lecture then went back home and crashed. I only got woken up by a phonecall (which was good as there was some place I was meant to be) but otherwise I don’t think I would have woken up for ages. Then I was in Liverpool (but on holiday) Saturday - Tuesday but the internet at my flat hasn’t been working plus I’ve been doing stuff these past days. So now I am at home in Taunton (though was about 40mins late dam train >_>). I arrived yesterday night but my dad had to install some anti virus stuff till this evening so this is my first proper time on the interwebs for a while. I'll try and read/comment on your lj enteries. Tell me if I've missed something important

So lets see stuff that I’ve been up to that isn’t coursework… Being a pyrate, passing my karate grading, An Café, London, Williamson’s Tunnels, milkshake and various others.

 

I'm also reading a book called "Other people's money" by Neil Forsyth and Elliot Castro about a Elliot Castro himself who was very clever but from a working class background, either got expelled or left any schools he went to with no qualifications. Yet between the ages of 16 and 22 he worked out how to do credit card fraud and travelled round the world, between stretches of prison (you wouldn't believe what he was in prison for the first time.... it wasn't credit card fraud), escapng from police, credit card companies and airline and had some very good times. It's really interesting and I know he's a criminal and I would feel different if he had stolen my money (though banks normally have insurance for that) but gosh he was smart and heck he achieved his dream of seeing the world. A short career as a fraudster but profitable and a 16 year old with no qualifications outwitting some of the biggest banks, credit card companies and various police forces in the world. It's a very good read and I do admire his attitude at various points.

So yeah shoudl transfer money and then go to sleep. I'm seeing Rach and possibly Scott and Lewi tomorrow who are a few of the people I still actually have contact with from college which should be really fun ^^.

Hope you're all having good holidays (or workings or whatevers)
