dyefade's Journal: Can't remember half of what I was going to say

I just finished reading Joe Haldeman's The Forever War, I enjoyed it, but I wasn't going to mention it. A large part of the book deals with homosexuality, which just happened to be what Colin discussed in his blog the other day. Normally I don't really come into contact with (and therefore don't think about) homosexuality, but it was weird that I read both views so close together in time. Erm, so yeah, that's interesting. I really have no view either way, but suffice to say that the two opinions expressed were very different.

The computing coursework is in for Friday... there's no way it's going to be done, to be fair. And it's only my A-Levels --> Uni placement.

I remember I had something really relevant and interesting to say... but I've completely forgotten. Oh yeah, I just saw about the Brit on the news getting his George Cross, and I wondered why he hadn't got the Victoria Cross, being wounded in battle and all. Then the BBC guy explained: he wasn't actually wounded in battle. The only wounds he suffered were caused by American "friendly" fire. Bet they never thought of that when they invented the award. (That wasn't the thing I forgot. I still can't remember what it was.)
