Much rather be fighting Orcs & dragons & pursuing a world changing mission with a close band of like minded but rather strange companions than making meaningless conversation in a superficial worldly clique with one dimensional losers. (That's no reflection on anyone at all!)<br />Looking forward to the adventure.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16392607633442097327noreply@blogger.com
