   Nicholas's Blurbs
About me:


The first ice worm species were discovered in 1887 in Alaska, on the Muir Glacier. These glacier ice worms can be found on glaciers in Alaska, Washington, Oregon and British Columbia. They have not been found in other glaciated regions of the world. The name "solifugus" is Latin for "sun-avoiding", as ice worms retreat underneath the ice before dawn. Enzymes in ice worms have very low optimal temperatures, and can be denatured at even a few degrees above 0°C. When ice worms are exposed to temperatures as low as 5°C, their membranes melt and the worm itself liquifies.

Hey Nick, guess what? You're RAD! I have that thought about you in various incarnations about twenty times a day, and I never say it. But, SERIOUSLY. You are. Rad. You are a rad bad dude with an attitude. Even your myspace page is totally rad. Actually, you're way past rad. Rad is almost like an insult to someone who is as totally fucking rad as you are. Is there anything that you can't do? FUCK! you're so rad. I miss you and your radness. I need to be near you soon so I can pick up some of your RADiation. Somewhere in your immediate RADius. That's what my RADar is telling me. So I can get good gRADes at my gRAD school so I can gRADuate with a Master's DegReeAD. Ok, that's enough. Good night, rad man.

Check out scotland on my mysace videos section. It will cheer you up, like Jason cheers me up when he comes home.... with cold club soda from the shop!!!!! Or better yet perrier! Mark once said to me, "I can't beleive you actually drink perrier." Like it's fancy or something, I told him, "I've been drinking perrier since I used to get it at the chippy in Maryhill in 1996, so what is fancy about that?" and he said, "You!" and I said, "Piss of! You can live in Brentwood and still be working class in Scotland OKAY, PAL, THANKS." I need a radio show, I need an outlet for all my talking that I do to myself. Saw MK's wee bro last night, he's a wee gem him. Miss ye. Can't wait for IPODCASTINGgood times.
