Adrian @ The QT: Return of the Jedi

Adrian @ The QT: The Phantom Menace

Yeah, sticking with the Star Wars theme, no particular order, no particular reason, it just seems better than numerically listing them.

Manners

The saying ‘a smile costs nothing’ has become so clichéd it brings a frown to my face.
I don’t wish to be controlled at the best of times, let alone be forced by social conformity to show kindness to complete strangers. If I don’t know you, do not expect to be greeted by me. If I wish [...]

I don’t really like how it says Howdy in the top right not Hello.

There’s nothing I hate more than not knowing what to write, which is exactly my disposition at the present time. Jschool has been a myriad of clichés so far including a whirlwind adventure, an amazing experience and of course, I’m happy just to be taking part.
