Ah, I didn't realize you were studying to be a film critic!

I think my 3 year anniversary was yesterday...
Party! Woo!
Well I haven't been to sleep all night and I'm bored, so there's no better time than the present eh? Three years...wow. Doesn't seem like that long at all. This year my reviewing has slowed down almost as much as it exploded in my first 12 months, which I regret. Hopefully I'll find the time and motivation to come back more permanently soon. I made some good friends here, and met some nice people at the first ever British FWFR conference (any more of them, let me know. I'll bring my frisbee and teach you all a thing or two. )
Thanks for the votes (hint), memories, advice, kind words and continued inspiration over the years guys. Much appreciated.
ANYWAY! As promised, a plethora of photos spanning from Halloween to the present day:
Me in my soldier outfit (Halloween) Look, I have balloons! Have you ever seen someone so happy? The picture taker must have been drunk... Me attaining my nickname (Buck, they played buckeroo on me) I feel underdressed at a pimp party
Any requests for strange photo attire/situations will be considered for a small vote based fee.  |

Hey ho all, still chugging along fairly nicely with academic work, finished all but 1 of my essays and am nearly ready for exams, but I have been struck down with a knee injury that renders me useless until January. 
I've been so bored it's not even funny. Still, the time I would usually spend farting about has become research and study time, which I suppose has helped with the essays and such.

Well the 3rd Ashes Test starts soon, maybe you can enjoy that...or maybe not.  |

We'll win this one, you just watch.

I see the foxcub is filling out nicely. As you read Shoon's posts, remember, those are the kind of things the foxcub has to look forward to.  |

I've been away a while, but here's my monthly (or so) check in. I have finals at the moment, so this won't be too long a message. Just y'know, saying hi.
I have a trial for the Great Britain juniors team on Saturday, might be playing in the European championships soon! I'll keep y'all posted, although I'm not too optimistic.
Pictures will follow with news of my trial. |

No, but when people kept saying 'Well they're only mid year exams' it annoyed me so I switched to something more important-sounding.
And yes, tis in frisbee. Thanks for the luck, I shall probably need it. That and some skill, which might also help. |

| Nope. I'm only trying out for the Juniors team, not the full team (you have to be 19 to get into the full team) and I'm actually not that great, only been playing for 4 months now, so I'm not holding out too much hope against guys who've been playing a few years. Although, maybe in a few years I'll be like the David Beckham of frisbee, only far poorer. |

Well, at least you'll have your wits to fall back on once your frisbee career comes back down to Earth. |
