Actually I found that a few days ago. I felt like doing nothing but sleeping in my bed which was being nicely warmed by the sun. Needless to say I ended up getting up and doing some work but I did manage an afternoon nap. ^_^

I've cuddled all of the pillows, made a fort, stuck all the bedding on the floor and jumped on it. cuddled the matress, and then made the bed.

I am SO restless today 0_o

Dam... I am so hanging out with you. Its been so long so I have done that.

I also remember getting ALL the pillows, mattresses and blankets in the house and making my own soft pile of softness in the lounge... Its like some old luxurious desert tent or something. Good fun that.

Mat the insane one! You can never have enough bedding!

You can roll through the house instead of walking and swim as well!

I was just out walking in the forest alone for an hour with music in my ears, man it felt calming.

Today the drunks will either be happy, sad or violent. I'm hoping those stupid England flags go from peoples cars... I'm so unpatriotic

What's happening today?

kurandoinu · « **Reply #14270 on:** June 23, 2010, 11:45:10 AM »

England finds out if our shockingly shoddy prancing princesses get through in the World Cup :p

stream · « **Reply #14271 on:** June 23, 2010, 11:47:31 AM »

I see, I don't follow the World Cup. I see enough soccer anyway.

why? what's wrong with patriotism?

Scudworth · « **Reply #14273 on:** June 23, 2010, 02:09:54 PM »

I'm not a fan of patriotism as no one chooses where they're born, and not everyone can afford to leave, so unless you make the choice to move to a country you can be proud of I don't see the point of it.

kurandoinu · « **Reply #14274 on:** June 23, 2010, 02:13:17 PM »

Because our country seems to have none until the football comes on. :/

Why care so much for a few arbitary lines drawn on a map?

Patriotism is fine as long as it's not overdone(IMO).
I think it's good if you're proud of your country and want to celebrate it every now and then.
But I don't like it when anyone in any country feels so strongly about it that they think their better than everyone else.

Point me a country that is actually worthy of such praise.

Every country have a few things of their own to be proud of haven't they?
While I'm not proud of my country anymore, I understand why others might be.

I wouldn't say the problem is with patriotism itself, it's perspective. So many people say their country is the best in the world, but they haven't even been to another country to know for sure.

And a lot of people believe that if reason fails, volume trumps, so now we associate patriotism with brash ignorance.

So, patriots, leave us alone until you fill up your passport.
