“A vocal path.
You live
near a vocal
path, and always
a young bird
returns in your
head like a
beautiful song
in the light
of a white dream...

“Well I want to become a Twitterer after hearing about it!!
I spend time on facebook and on other chat sites relating to my interests. Through facebook, a considerable amount of people from my old school year have reunited and are now in regular contact .......we've even had a night out ( although I couldn't actually get to it!!) !
When you cant' get out because of childcare responsiblilites etc, this is the next best thing. When you can ......brilliant. We discuss and plan nights/days out/meeting for coffee etc on the sites! Nothing wrong in that!”

North Bristol is hardly an exact location, Some of the borders of South Gloucestershire are classed as North Bristol so you could be anywhere, are you really steven or are you Adrian?”

“'Leaving comments here and living a "social life" via the internet are in no way similar.- Steven, North Bristol'
Umm..i think you'll find the situations are very similar. You are socialising on here aren't you? Enough to actually sign up to this site and start an account. You have no room to talk.”
