Because conversations with n00bs is a vital part of OWF life, dating back from a memorable conversation Dino once had with some girl of MSN...

I was playing an online game with a chatroom attachment. A guy with a number for a name came over and made the usual introductions, asking me how long I'd been playing, what rank I was and so on. Eventually he got around to asking my place of origin...

5672: Where you from?
Me: England
5672: Whats it like there?...

Right, I'm off.
Tomorrow (ok, today; it's almost 2am now) I leave home to begin my gap-year (just moving up the country, not going abroad or anything).

For the next week I suspect that I'll have no internet (though I don't know for certain) but following that I will most likely have greatly less online time than I have had for the six years since I joined here. I will be around when I can be (since OWF is about the only site on the internet that my laptop will run without crashing...

I'm Sam. I just watched Frodo sail away on a ship, never to see him again, leaving me standing on the shore.

An analogy aided by the fact that my name really is Sam, but for those who don't speek Geek, my very best friend, the best I've had in my life, who I've known since I was ten (that's nine years) is moving to New Zealand tomorrow, the opposite side of the Earth, and I've just said goodbye to him for the final time. I might not ever see him in the flesh again.

This is just an announcement of what's going on in my life right now.
At this moment I'm away from home in a city which is about two hours from my home town. I'm up here for a week (from last Friday to next Friday) working at a Christian-run Holiday Centre for kids aged 8 to 13. They hold camps for the kids, split into two age groups, which run for either a weekend or about five days; since it's summer they're having a series of longer camps and right now it's the second day of the first camp....

The other day I got the urge to randomly begin drawing classic figures from horror fiction and film in the style of my comics for Mod Survivor Island.

Several hours tinkering gave me...

I've considered making a comic with these guys, though I haven't had many ideas for it as of yet....

Fcuk is, for those who don't know, a British fashion company (the name stands for French Connection United Kingdom) whose name, as you may have guessed, is deliberately intended to attract intention by making casual passers-by mistake it for a very rude word.

This has, over the years, created a lot of controversy. It also serves to alienate a lot of customers; I know several people who don't like buying their stuff because the name insults them. This surely can't help their profits;...

First thing I should have said when I first posted this is that its largely based on an article on a strange and distant website. I made it in a flash of plagiaristic inspiration and have since been sorely tempted to delete it (mainly from shame) but instead it will remain here for the sake of posterity. Basically the same reason I haven't deleted that dreadful old story I wrote...

Top Ten Jobs of all time:

They say things come in spades.
Though the only things I've known to come in spades is mud or sand, and only then it's only for a few feet before it starts coming by air.
(There was a point to the above comment but it has temporarily escaped my memory.)

It's odd (prepare for a thoughtful post here guys); I lived alone in a small room for 9 months and never really felt lonely (except on the first day or two). Now I'm home and my mum and step-dad are going on holiday for...

Going home from uni for the Summer tomorrow and I really need to pack my stuff.

Anyone got a clever-sounding scientific explanation of why I'm not packing?

Alright, my Cell Group (Bible study group) held its meeting at my house (or rather, in my room since it's the only part of the house I live in) today, and since it's two of our members' birthdays this week, our leader brought along a chocolate gateau to celebrate.

Between the eight of us there, we ate about two thirds and since I was hosting I kept the rest, rather than people try to shift it across the city out of its packaging. However, having eaten a fair portion of it myself, I'm...
