I, first of all, ought to say that I'm genuinely touched. I'm also topless, but that's because my shirt was itching. I'll look into artbell.com, but I doubt I could ever call in, because as much as I would like my voice to be heard, I wouldn't want people to hear my voice.
As for the just travelling with no destination, I wouldn't say it was a hobby of mine - I far more often sit here listening to Stevie Wonder with a glass of port (Honestly! The things he says when he's had one too many!) but I do enjoy it. Especially here in Norwich where I can go any which way I choose. Walking, mind, I can't drive, I'm the kind of character who'd make a really bad driver. I think (at least for me) its the sense of being uncontactable, really, away from the trappings of the modern world which, whilst making me happy on so many levels, also make me think how inferior my life is to those who experience rather more.
And I have to admit that I do get a little glow when you've replied. Its coming to the point where this is always my first port of call when I log on, and you can take almost sole credit for that.

ditto my friend! -- but I still prefer to remain anonymous, because... well... I love it! I am toying with the idea that you are REALLY Prince "Wills", OR, (and hopefully) NOT an inmate out in Norwich was it?
I take no credit for anything in this life, except that I DO owe back taxes from 1997 AND! -- who said I know how to manage money anyway?? I will admit to logging on to see your response as well... (!)
I've always liked your ruminations and thoughtful prose writings/postings here at the site -- they just seem to resonate with my own feelings about this, that and the other thing, yes?

Of course, I have a name too, and, un/fortunately it isn't Wills. Nor is it anything particularly regal, or is a continual giving of clues something I want to continue with as it would rapidly become tiresome for both parties; and as you say, anonymity is more fun.
I can't confess to being an inmate,
though can to many crimes,
I appreciate (a lot) your quote,
and sometimes write in rhyme.
Incidentally - the quote was more than appreciated. I enjoy the book a great deal. Its no Lion, Witch & Wardrobe, but its going that way.
P.S. If you really want to know about me, I do have a web-diary, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who doesn't know England, as there are a lot of references to it. If you really want...let me know. I wish more people thought like I (or, now we) do. The world would be a much better place. Take your coat, madam? Oh, I ought to continue another topic. Something came up today that I can mention. (*Chuckle at the pun*)

...sigh... I am VERY tired today -- not sleeping at all well
last night, my body wracked with pain (i.e. my whole body feels like a toothache!!) Oh Tragedy! You horrid, horrid
mistress! Kid, I'd probably send you many more communiques
if I had my own computer... ...long sigh... but then you would feel like I was stalking you or something, or being clingy. I promise I won't. Thanks for the chivalrous action -- you being the English gent that you are. Yes, a bit of a sit-down and some conversation is always appreciated by me. By-the-by, I WOULD like to read your
web-diary! Other websites that I like are: bota.org AND noetic.org Did you ever see the movie "Heavenly Creatures"? (growling) Aaarrggggh! Using public computers can be THOROUGHLY annoying because you get 30 minute increments and people start hovering early and fist-fights have been known to break out! So the pressure is always on -- this can wreak havoc with one's creativity, yes? I have six more minutes -- "I'm late! I'm late!" Alice heard the Mad Hatter reply as he ran off into the distance. Later, my friend...

Why the aches? Illness? Injury? Run down? Anything I can do? I'd like to run you a hot bath and make a cup of tea, but I fear both would be cold by the time you got to them. For me, you could write as often as you like, its always a pleasure to read what you've been up to, and even if its bad, you know what they say about a problem shared....(Don't want to sound like a schoolteacher there, so apologies if I do). You can get my web-diary at - actually I can get a link, and....ah, I'll go, get it, and put it on in a mo'. I haven't seen 'Heavenly Creatures' all the way through yet, just snippets here and there, I'm more of a period drama Kate fan, I loved Quills - saw it, ooh, 3 or 4 times in the cinema up the road, 'Sense & Sensibility' (Aah!) I have my sister's copy of; and she always looks great at awards shows. I'm enjoying my delve further into Noetic.com, but there's more to read there than my eyes have life left in them! Oh, and I have to ask, do you have a copy of Alice with you, or do you know it that bit too well? And if there's anyone approaching with the intention of scaring you off the computer, send them my way....and I'll....deny them a biscuit. Sorry, its the best I can do at the moment.

For the delve further in, read, Noetic.org, although I did go to Noetic.com first, and thought....hmmm....a computer software company? What relevance this? Then I checked and as so often/rarely (delete as appropriate) happens, it fell into place.

This
all being well, is a link to my diary. If not, then.....hmmm....I know. I'll check, and then if all goes the shape of pears, I'll be able to (hopefully) edit it.

... so I woke up this morning -- the sun is 99% out and
doing it's thing here in the desert -- the body pain hs subsided for now... it's unpredictable you see. It's called 'lupus'. It's an autoimmune disorder which attacks the connective tissue, and, since everything in the body is connective tissue (excepting one's bones) it basically sucks. It's in the blood and when I have a flare-up is when
there is the most pain -- I have no tolerance for pain. I need a new drug! I'd start smoking pot again if it didn't make me paranoid... Anyway, I don't want to go into this in depth all day -- I don't mind answering questions, that is,
if you have any. Okay. So I'm an idiot. I went to the link but couldn't quite tell which "Kid" you were... so would you mind picking a favorite entry of yours and telling
me what name it's under???? (???) please???
I try to think of things to ask you, then I forget once I'm here. But I DID want to know about your hair falling out -- did it finally stop? Do you know WHY? it was falling out? Have you any hair left? Illness or stress-related?
...sigh... time is fleeting...

okay. So I stopped being an idiot and located you (just now) at the diary site. So I am confused about geography --
Norwich is E. England, and, I thought you said you went to Oxford??? Did I misunderstand? Anyway, when I was typing my entry yesterday and trying to send it, that's when the site went ka-blooey. And I guess that's why there are 4 (!)
repeats. I didn't do it, honest. I'm just glad it didn't disappear into the ethers... Hey -- you and Audrey Hepburn -- a good match, eh? Question: what exactly ARE
your crimes, then? Crimes-of-the-Heart? Cyber-crimes? --
luring young women and then? You seem too young to have racked up anything major. Now, the girls in "Heavenly Creatures"... theirs was a crime! Acch -- the librarian has just announced the two-minute warning! Ta, for now!

I can only sympathise about your condition, it sounds terrible. Have you always had it, or is it (How to say this....) acquired?
My hair hasn't stopped falling out per se it is just less noticeable now its all the same colour and only about 4cm long. (Hair length; innuendo comes as standard). My crimes generally involve what is probably best described as antics. Taking of things that help the public (for free) and claiming them as my own. I won't get arrested for it unless the police catch me with them on the day, but they're crimes nonetheless. Cyber-crimes? Don't have the know how. Crimes of the heart? I wish. Luring young women? I can't even do that. Ah, hang about, is Heavenly Creatures the one with Kate & her friend killing a mother (one of theirs can't remember which)? If so, then I saw it, and quite enjoyed it, but it was a while back now. That reminds me to check when 'From Hell' is out. A little pet hobby of mine that, believe it or not. Johnny Depp. (Haha!)
Oh, and you can smile to yourself if I tell you I checked back about 7 or 8 times that the page was gaga over the last 2 days, so eager was I to read what you would write.
Oh, and me and Audrey? *Strokes chin wistfully, eyes cloud over*. Me and Audrey.
