so. thank-you notes. what's your experience with them? is sending them the done thing in your social circles? what sort of thank-you notes have you sent before? how does one write a thank-you note to a friend's parents? ;_;

i ask this because the concept of thank-you notes was incredibly foreign to me until i came to the UK.

i am trying to come up with a list of Things I Must Do in my final year of youthful foolish freedom in the UK (and Europe).

here's what i've got so far:
- build a snowman for real, not just snow corpses and snow rabbits and the like.
- drink alcohol on a punt, damn it. too much sober punting has gone on.
- watch Les Mis, for crying out loud.

any other ideas?

Y/N answers suffice. Except for the last question. Silence will be met with lj silence, probably.

1. My photos from the Italy and Morocco-(Gibraltar)-Spain trips are already on Facebook. Should I repost a selection of them here?
2. Should I post pictures from uni life here?
3. If I offered to draw [anime character of your choice] in strange clothes, would you take me up on the offer?
4. If I wrote a long post about (not) being (a very good example of) a Chinese Singaporean, would you read it?
5. How do you pronounce clementine and aubergine?

edit: and by 'salty' i mean, of course, 'savoury'. -_-;;

hello! since my last post i have been drinking much less than i could (good), eating fairly tasty and cheap food (also good) and occasionally attempting, gingerly, to make more-than-acquaintances (good in theory, we'll see if it works out).

i have also joined the Assassins guild. in theory.

and while it's probably bad form to have my first post since australia be a request: would anyone happen to have anything by The Triffids? they're a depressing and depressed eighties band from australia, whose albums are extremely elusive even there. ;_;

edit: to clarify regarding the last question, and specifically the cred options -- i'm going more for cred in the sense of the general perception, and not necessarily what you personally feel about the musical quality/complexity/whatever of the band. that is to say: i think the cure/smiths/depeche mode bands have a lot more going on musically than the LOLZ DEPRESSED EIGHTIES MUSIC people may think, but i still feel that the latter reaction is more widespread, hence my choice of the ^_^ option.
