My Dad doesnt drink. He left it all to God. Then it's God who's doing it. His creator. Our tearer. That's why he never gets to drink. God won't let him. God wants it all for himself.

Peacexx!
Who I'd like to meet:
I play for the nottingham mavericks university ice hockey team, check out 2.10-2.14...and guess who that is one on one with the great finish.
This is us again. I Play in #58. Bit of action towards the end. woop.
hahahahahaha :D im propper sorry man i swear you were meant to call me about that wen i was in england! hehe yer man aussies right good i dont know when i will be beack tho xxxx
what so you only staying for like a week? :( those books would be mega helpful for my revision thankyou :) and the jeans fit me alright actually and i still wear them occasionally but you like them more than me, and anyway they are yours, hehe. i've been quite ill at the moment i've just been in bed, missing more school and stuff it sucks really :( i hope i'm better for easter time! see you soon xx
hey what day are you coming back for easter? i wonder if i could have that biology revision book it might be useful, if you don't need it. and we can exchange jeans etc. ooh and moving to scotland sounds like a good idea, you'd love it xx
haha yeah i'm usually up at a stupid time of the morning but last night i was proper wiped out so fell asleep at like 1ish for the first time in AGESSS. haha i love you lee :) and miss you lotssss. xxxxxx
whaa? who said i was going to uni? next year it's looking like i'll be moving down to cambridge and living in a flat there, working either there or in london depending on which one's easier or better. that's if i don't leave the country which I might but i'll probably do that afterwards sometime, so i can earn some money to afford to travel if you know what i mean. how is uni anyway? x
hmm i just meant here really, my gran died at the weekend (the one you met) so it's all a bit much round here. i have missed loads of school and havn't seen anyone recently which is strange. but yeah also i don't seem to see people who are still around as much as i'd like, though tom morris seems to always be around, which is odd. xx
psh, my kitchen's messy but who actually cares? of course i'm around for a pint, i'm not going anywhere at easter. things are very strange and sad at home at the moment xx
yeahh go for it. where are you these days?! nottingham? you can buy me booze as a birthday present :P (30th march!!!) yaaay i like drunken lee, this'll be fun. xx
