Hello All,
I have been instructed to introduce myself and such. My name is Matty and I just arrived in Manchester about three weeks ago. I'm originally from Chicago and moved here to complete a PhD at U of Salford. Some of you might have met me on Monday at Czech, some of you might not have, some of you probably did and don't remember, while others of you didn't and wish you did. And yet, there are some who had and wish they hadn't. It's all very confusing.
Anywho, I've also been ordered to list my most favorite song of all time and then explain the reasons in three short sentences and one run-on. So here goes:
Song: All out of love, by Air Supply
Reasons:
1. You can't go wrong with the soothing tag-team vocals of Russel Hitchcock and Graham Russel.
2. When you put the vocalists names together, it creates the formidable "Graham Russel Hitchcock," much like Voltron.
3. I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you.
and,
4. There is something about this song which sends one of those special tingles down the backside of my frontside in a way that reminds me of my forgotten youth and countless times I used to sigh at the sky while dreaming for better tomorrows that float on the ends of clouds because only there can they ever be free in this world of musical harmony which I have so delicately created inside the realm of my perfect universe where air supply is not just something we need to sustain life, but rather... something we need to sustain life.
please do not judge me.
Peace,
Matty Major

Yeah, that was a lot to ask. I feel like I just got hazed/violated...
I actually made it to Pure Space, but had to bounce out early due to "work commitments."
And South Dakota... uhh, no, there is nothing special about South Dakota. No, wait. They have Mount Rushmore. Nothing better than four giant head busts of dead guys on a mountain side.

Thanks for warm welcome, y'all. I will be sure to make more appearances.
And honestly, South Dakota is far more entertaining than Africa... well, at least the culture is. My cat's breath smells like cat food.

Hey you bastard, next time you accost me on the streets, do so by saying "Oh...HI!", you scared the fucking shit out of me. But it was nice to see you! I predict a beautiful lasting friendship. People will look at us together and smile warmly, saying things like "aw, they're such good friends, makes me wish I'd bought a cat".

Matt, it really *is* a pity that you aren't in the US army. It is actually my goal to actually meet and actual Major Major Major Major.

Oh boy, I leave you guys alone for a few days and already there are several posts.
To start, no, I am not a cat. meow.
Yes, I love catch 22 and Major Major Major Major's father grew alfalfa. I have no idea what the hell that is.
And yes, you damn near jumped out of your skin when I tried to gently say hello. I thought you were going to crack me in the face or something. On that note, please be informed that I will continue to mug various members of the society in order to pay for my heroine baby.
And last! If you guys can raise enough money, I will join the Royal British Army, or whatever you call it and try to tamper an IBM computer to upgrade my status to Major. Funny thing, my father was going to name me Matthew Martin Major after his father, or as he says it Matty Marty Major. But my mother threw a fucking fit and as a result, no such luck. Triple M will have to be reserved for my children. I hope I'm not sterile.
The end.

haha. i almost made a very very crude joke in line with the book but then decided it's probably not the best thing to wish death on family members. Don't call your kids triple M though; they might become wrestlers, or something awful.
Sorry we post so much! But as you understand, there's not much better to do..

Oddly enough, i ran into Matt outside Barclay's, and he gave me his number. I rang it but it went to answer phone so i left a message. He said he may be out but alas, he wasn't. Never mind  |

Oh man, I feel horrible. 'Tis true, I saw you Ben, with high hope of meeting you again that night, but I let you down. Will you forgive me? Will you ever forgive me??
I can only hope the society doesn't force me into exile (again).
In my defense of absence, I have been in London this past week and half... for the first time, and possibly the last. Holy load that city is huge, and uncomfortable. I developed a rash during my stay, is that normal? Anybody? Hello? Bueller?
