All jokes aside, this is probably going to be a very useful tool for care of Austistic Spectrum Disorders. Getting used to human intimacy through training and gradual introductions.
Journal Journal: Transferral.
Attempting to transfer out from my current, close to home University for the next academic year. Only able to do this now my CFS/ME has calmed down. However, problems arising through the increase applications seen this year. I blame Mandy for reducing University funding. Well, that and the fact I'm applying to transfer into the English department, yes, humanities, yes I know I know, Starbucks job inc after graduation, which is one of the most highly sought after departments.
Eh, per aspera

As headlines go, this is into the 'warner bros cartoon' surreal territory. What's next? 'Lord British holds earth to ransom from his moon fortress!'

It also makes us nice and easy to keep an eye on. All our activity now leaves a nice little easy to follow trail. Much nicer for the government to follow than before.

Comment Exposure. (Score 1) 423
The experience of it amongst people I know has differed greatly. I've had it, was very ill for 3 days, then mildly ill for two weeks. Others I know that have had it have been barely affected beyond a sniffle. Meanwhile, exposure is tricky. I've been around numerous diagnosed people for weeks and not caught it. The time I ended up catching it was when I was out of the country (from Uk, went to Italy)

Of course, miracles by their very nature cannot occur. If something 'miraculous' did occur, that violated the laws of nature/physics etc, then the laws would have to be changed to incorporate them. Therefore a miracle can never truly occur.
