In order to hide the previous post from the world I've decided to update again.
Going round to Jeremy's tommorrow for band practice as Dan and I have written some songs. I'm hoping it will be the rock-fueled fest I know we are.
Sent off my Masters Application form today, I hope it goes through alright. It would be cool to spend another year or two in London as a Student :)
In other news I have been taking time off this afternoon due to the above taking it out of me and found pictures of my old friend Lauren on the Shards website. She's dressed as her Thoth-worshipping Egyptian type she told me about last summer. I hope she is cool, whatever she is up to. No doubt she is probably snowed under with work as I am. I'd like to catch up with her, maybe go to Shards (I plan to play all the major systems in the UK at least once, the list stands so far at:
1)Fools and heroes (I play there regularly)
2)The Lorien Trust (A huge system I've played once or twice)
3)Shards (My friends Lauren, Tart, Dave, Emma and John play this so I wouldn't be alone there :))
4) The Maelstrom (Planning to play this sometime after my exams with my mates from uni. Should be good fun as I've been offered a sweet postion within the command structure of our group. Or I could go hang out with my mates from the LT who also play)
(Boy, I had to write something ultimatley geeky to make sure no woman EVER finds me attractive again didn't I?)
There are various others I shall try at some point in the future as well. The real joy of these things is the friends you make from it. If you check out my friends page on my Livejournal, all those guys play the LT or some other form of roleplay. I'd like to think if I went to Shards and Maelstrom I'd forge stronger friendships with the people I went with and make a load of new friends along the way.
That is one of lifes real joys to me. Meeting new people and strengthening friendships that matter alongside that. :)
I am in a good mood today :)

"It's not you it's the E talking,
Closing in on the translation
It's not you it's the E talking
I'm not sure what part I'm playing"
Soulwax 'E-Talking'
I was in the Union last night and who should be there but my ex girlfriend. It was awkward at first but managed to not be a major downer for the evening. We even smiled at each other and said hi which was nice. I think I treated her badly.
Anyway, so I'm standing there listening to my mates conversation when we get interupted by a familiar voice. One which I recognised. I turned and who was standing before me addressing nearly my entire peer group?
Grace Blake-Turner.
Now, long time readers of this blog may have heard me mention Grace before; a kind of gorgeous, tall as me phantom that swirls into my life with her long brown hair and red scarf every so often only to disappear again for a long period of time. In the past, times when I have seen her I have been afraid to speak to her due to the fact that...well she turned me down for a date. But in a nice way. I won't go into specifics but it wasn't in the usual 'I'd rather die' kind of way.
So anyway, there we are all listening to her explain that she is running for one of the sabbatical positions at the Union and how she hopes she could count on our votes.
At which point she turns to me, looks me right in the eye and says my name. I give her a nod and a wink. Amazing, that she remembers my name!
Now, I know someone will slap me down for this post but it was just a nice incident.
The main purpose of this topic was to make the following notices.
1) I'm giving up drinking for a while again. I need to go on detox after my recent wild nights. Plus it doesn't make me attractive to the opposite sex.
2) I've not been as chivalrous as I used to be. I am not sure why this is but I hope to rectify the situation.
3) SMOKING CAUSES DEATH. Just because I haven't been quite as vocal about this recently does not mean my stance has changed. It is a vile habit, stinky, polluting, cancerous, rubbish producing and a bane on society.

You're Will Turner - Lovestruck swordsman, funky hat, too pretty by far. You're loyal, honest, courageous... and a pirate. Lucky Elizabeth.
Which POTC character are you?
this quiz was made by alanna
In an effort to save people from reading every RamRant (TM) I make about the evils of capitalism I have created a new blog where I fight such evils,
http:ramrage.blogspot.com
I'll have to give a proper update here when I have more time but I'm currently rushed off my feet with work!
Also, I've updated the links so they should work now. The world of Ram expands!
Stay cool!

"If every child chased dreams of societal reorganisation
In place of sweet wrappers and escape,
Then we would see Mr Cadbury's enlightened industrialism
For what it really F**king is; social morphine
We'd have ourselves a pre-school army."
Million dead 'Charlie and the propaganda myth machine'
So I'm back to fight the good fight.
Found another site worth looking at.
www.mcspotlight.org
Lots of information about THAT company who we all know and love. They threaten legal action against anyone who bad mouths them. If I write something here there is always a chance they could accuse me of all sorts of things.
I can however, quote other people in the hope that the truth will grant you to make a descision using your free will,
"McDonald's and Burger King are two of the many US corporations using lethal poisons to destroy vast areas of Central American rainforest to create grazing pastures for cattle to be sent back to the States as burgers and pet food, and to provide fat-food packaging materials. (Don't be fooled by McDonald's saying they use recycled paper: only a tiny per cent of it is. The truth is it takes 800 square miles of forest just to keep them supplied with paper for one year. Tons of this end up litteing the cities of 'developed' countries.)"
From the 'What's wrong with McDonalds' leaflet published in 1986.
The site admits that there are worse companies than this one but it is a well known one which hopefully brings the struggle to a wider market. All these enemies must be faced in the battle to save the world.
As the site comments, it is pointless feeling guilty when you eat and see pictures of starving people in Africa. We must do something about it.
World against McDonalds day: 16th October every year.
But enough ranting, how is Ramalam?
Well, I'm good, better than I was. Got into a funk since I've been back but I'm okay now. Got lots of work to do still but I can handle it.
Ram.
(Changed my name on this site to Ramalam as well in keeping with my Livejournal. It's kind of an internet and real life name. Feel free to still call me Peat but Ramalam represents much more, chivalry, the struggle I write about here and the new, improved me)
