England or Scotland? Hm, hm... True, I've always had a soft spot for Scotland, still I'd go for England this time. With the workload in mind one should be insane to stay in Ed. without free time to enjoy the view. Probably a swift trip there, unlikely anything else.
So, England. Not London for sure... I don't mind sport as such, anyway the Olympic Games and myself don't match.
Where then? Brighton?
Need advice...

Elves are the "firstborn" people of God, the first created on Middle Earth. You are immortal and have the opportunity for gaining great wisdom in your long life. You value beauty and nature, and in fact you are probably very attractive yourself. Although you seem mysterious and distant to some, it's just that you have greater knowledge and higher goals than mortals. When you tire of life on Middle Earth, you will pass over the sea to the west to dwell with the Valar and Maiar, a privelege that that few others obtain.

Small wonder, really

Could it depend on today's mood?

After a long-term exchange of emails, I was eventually admitted to the diary, which is great
The icing on the cake is that now I can waste even more time verbiaging about how happy I am to get this new group

@настроение: foolishly enthusiastic

What vocabulary are we learning today?

a complete wreck, ululate agonisingly, lacerate/ laceration - hm

Where is that that would be the best pick-me-up?

I'm pretty sure it won't last long and I'll soon be free again

@темы: emotions, I, the bane of my life

There are names I cannot get rid off - they keep popping up every time I become certain I have finally written them off... Well, bearing in mind the earth population it can be normal if only the name were not tied in with the same profession, interests, language style... Just out of curiosity, how many doppelgangers a person can have and, more interestingly, how many of them I am bound to meet - I might not last that long. Still, there was something appealing in that personality so I might be subconsiously looking for the same features in others. Howbeit, better safe than sorry - I can't afford to be caught in the same predicament once again

@настроение: worried to be sure

@темы: emotions, I, the bane of my life

Got totally exhausted from my hectic days so the new daily schedule is ready

Time will show what would come of it

in the meantime, off to follow the scheme

If you are a Lutheran, your religion was founded by Martin Luther, an ex-monk of the Catholic Church, in the year 1517.

If you belong to the Church of England, your religion was founded by King Henry VIII in the year 1534 because the Pope would not grant him a divorce with the right to re-marry.

If you are a Presbyterian, your religion was founded by John Knox in Scotland in the year 1560.

If you are a Congregationalist, your religion was originated by Robert Brown in Holland in 1582.

If you are Protestant Episcopalian, your religion was an offshoot of the Church of England, founded by Samuel Senbury in the American colonies in the 17th century.

If you are a Baptist, you owe the tenets of your religion to John Smyth, who launched it in Amsterdam in 1606.

If you are of the Dutch Reformed Church, you recognize Michelis Jones as founder because he originated your religion in New York in 1628.

If you are a Methodist, your religion was founded by John and Charles Wesley in England in 1774.

If you are a Mormon (Latter Day Saints), Joseph Smith started your religion in Palmyra, New York, in 1829.

If you worship with the Salvation Army, your sect began with William Booth in London in 1865.

If you are Christian Scientist, you look to 1879 as the year in which your religion was born and to Mary Baker Eddy as its founder.

If you belong to one of the religious organizations known as "Church of the Nazarene, Pentecostal Gospel," "Holiness Church," or "Jehovah's Witnesses," your religion is one of the hundreds of new sects founded by men within the past hundred years.

If you are Roman Catholic, your church shared the same rich apostolic and doctrinal heritage as the Orthodox Church for the first thousand years of its history, since during the first millennium they were one and the same Church. Lamentably, in 1054, the Pope of Rome broke away from the other four Apostolic Patriarchates (which include Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch and Jerusalem), by tampering with the Original Creed of the Church, and considering himself to be infallible. Thus your church is 1,000 years old.

If you are Orthodox Christian, your religion was founded in the year 33 by Jesus Christ, the Son of God. It has not changed since that time. Our church is now almost 2,000 years old. And it is for this reason, that Orthodoxy, the Church of the Apostles and the Fathers is considered the true "one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church." This is the greatest legacy that we can pass on to the young people of the new millennium.
