He's adorable, and such an interesting color! That head shape is all Siamese!

Yup he's a siamese and has the best fur of any cat I've seen so far. He's still so small, you could literally carry him in the palm of ya hand right now.
He's going to be a right devil when he gets bigger though. Siamese cats are so mischievous.

Absolutely - and name him Loki and the mischief potential doubles!

Yup my mum did call him that. I don't know if it was from the marvel films though; as she denies vehemently ever watching them. (I smell a rat and it ain't Rizzo)

But the name is from Norse mythology, and has appeared in popular culture from time to time - but even as a kid - well before Marvel picked them up - I knew the names Loki, Odin, Freya and Thor!

Yup I know Norse mythology, quite a bit of it along with Germanic mythology which shares similar stories. Actually I still haven't read a Marvel comic they ain't that interesting to me, manga on the other hand; I love it.
Nah, I'm just surprised with the name choice from my mum is all. She isn't the type to really subscribe to this stuff.

Isn't it ironic. That you are choosing to defend my own mum from her own son in a random conversation. Irony much I guess

Hee hee, I just was thinking I knew all that Norse mythology not from school, but from home (Swedish on Dad's side of the family) and from reading - voracious reader in a house with bookcases in every room of the house except the bathroom, including bookshelves in the attic, basement, and even the upstairs hallway!
I learned more at home than I ever did in school about a lot of subjects!

I knew Greek mythos from the old films. But I didn't learn about Norse myths until sometime after I got the Internet. Which wasn't until I was in my 20's. (I'm 27 now, tragic ain't it).
Yeah I never learned anything at school nor did I do homework ever. And I never once through my entire school career do homework once. That's why I left school with no future, it wasn't until I got the Internet that I really began to learn things other than history. I've managed to bridge quite an enormous gap in my own illiteracy, over the course of my own self study of things.
Lets see I personally didn't have a dad growing up and my mum was working a lot of the time. So for the most part I grew up alone. Oh woe is me.
I dont even think my mum has held a book let alone read one. She isn't exactly a person who one would consider well read. Family huh... can't live with'em can to live without'em.

Aww, that's the opposite of my upbringing! My mother was a writer/English teacher - all her aunts were teachers, and Dad was around, and was an engineer who read a stack of library books a week. Thank goodness you now have the Internet and can expand your horizons!

My mum left school age 14 and went straight to work. Me finished school age 16 goes to college. Parents decide to move so I lose 6 months of my life then get to my new place and they stopped doing what I want to learn. YAY! When they say lifes a bitch it truly can be.
Best thing about growing up in London though is the awesome history and the awesome London Museum. I was taught how to bind a book and all sorts of other awesome things. That place was my heaven.

I loved the museums in London both times I visited there! I could so spend months in the museums there! What were you studying in college? My degree is in Graphic Design with a concentration in Illustration. My paternal grandfather was yanked from school at 14 to go to work, and my parents never wanted us to to be in that boat (though Grandpa did well, spoke 5 languages and became chief of police) and so pretty much expected us all to either finish college or join the military. There was no option of dropping out!

Well I didn't choose to drop out of college, which is a lower tier to university's in the UK. I was studying electrical engineering as well electrical installations. I had started down the road to become an electrician which would have been good to become. I'm just now an overqualified DIY'er. I do actually have half a degree in electrical installations that's been out of date for a long while now. I thought I would have time to study and get things done so I thought I would have been able to get all of my degree's before that course of electrical installations finished being replaced with another regime of the same course. Though my parents fucked that one up for me nicely. Still I have life experience now having worked in hell (retail) for the last 9 years.
Don't know if I have said this or not but my grandad was a plumber and a very skilled plumber as well. He taught me a lot of practical skills and a lot of life lessons being almost a surrogate father in many ways.
I love London museum, so awesome beats the crap out of London Zoo in my opinion. That place just smells real nasty to me. You've been to London, that's proper lucky. Have you ever been to regents park?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, been there done that - I worked retail while I was in college. I know you didn't intend to drop out of college, sorry iic it sounded like that! We went through Regent's Park - I also adored the National Gallery and the Victoria and Albert museums, too. Thankfully my husband is just as fascinated by museums as I am, I have visited museums with other people I just wanted to throttle!
I have been to London twice, once in summer for vacation, and once in January for kind-of work. My one Great-Grandmother was a seamstress/Lady in Waiting for Victoria, so I definitely have roots in England, amongst other places! I have that great-Grandmother's photo album, which is precious!
Could you take any refresher courses and work in electrical now? The world always needs electricians!

There's one specific group of people I hate and, it's the genuinely stupid; who choose from as far as I can tell to live a life in pure ignorance. It just offends me when I encounter people who just close there minds to knowledge and history.
I know I have been to the national gallery a couple times. Though that was an awfully long time ago, now that I come to think about it. I love going to the top of Regents Hill. The view of London is just awesome. I was a kid the last time I went up to the top of that hill. I think there have been a few new additions to the vista (I think that's the right word)
Can't imagine going to a museum and wanting to kill the person I went with. I kinda think if I was to take a creationist to one I would enjoy watching there brains melt as they try to excuse the fossils or the geological evidence. There is a rock in London Museum that's older than the earth. It's a small meteorite that was picked up from somewhere. I would really like to hold that rock.
Oh, fancy that got a pedigree huh? 
Well if I had a large sack of money to go to college I would. But I was a year older than all there sanctions meaning I was boned in terms of education. I like to think I have a natural eye for taking pictures and the like so I'm trying to make this my career now. Can't sit around in retail any longer, I'm just getting older and fatter as time inevitably wears on.

"Can't imagine going to a museum and wanting to kill the person I went with." I was once at a Caravaggio exhibit that was at The Met in New York City (took a train down with some friends) and one of the people in the group kept saying, "C'mon, hurry up!" "This is boring" "Aren't you done yet?" And no, he was not a 4-year-old child, either, he was 25 or 26 I think!
Okay, I don't know much about how college works over there. That's too bad!
3 of my grandparents were from families of 8 kids, the other was "just" 6! I had more aunts and uncles and cousins than I could keep track of as a kid! And don't worry, I have earlier and later immigrants on the family tree, not all as highfalutin' as that one! I am truly and all-American mutt! Swedish, Norman French, English, Native American, French-Canadian, Irish, Scottish, German and probably more!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why did they agree to go to the exhibit then? I can understand why you would want to kill them. Especially if they where being bratty.
I had to Google the Caravaggio Exhibit, looks really interesting.
From my experience it goes, Primary School, Secondary School (finishes at age 16) and then College. Higher education goes Primary School, Secondary School, A-Levels and then University.
Yeah I was in this weird bracket of changing times and I was a year in age ahead of all of them, so I quite literally fell through the cracks.
I just stick with English as I was born in London so that's my nationality. I see it that your nationality is defined by where you are born not where your forefathers are born. Though if I was South African, lived there and was born in England; I would consider myself S. African and not English.

It was breathtaking in real life, no idea why he agreed to go, frankly! I always say I am All-American, but we tend to ask nationalities of ancestors here, probably because we are a nation comprised 100% of immigrants! Some (the "Native American" just arrived here a few thousand years before the Europeans, Asians, etc!!
In the US, it goes Elementary School, then either Middle School or Junior High, then high school, which is sully 4 years. Then college (4 years or so) then if you go beyond that it is Master's Degree, Doctorate, and even Post-Doctoral Degree.

I should see if there is going to be anything interesting near me. But I guess it can wait for now.
I always wonder what it means to be English; I personally think its, 10% light hearted racism, 15% arrogance, 60% tea, finally 35% reminiscing and at the same time pining for greener fords. Wait I forgot sarcasm everyone I know is sarcastic and I am very sarcastic. I find it painful when I come across people who don't understand sarcasm.
Your schools sound like they take a long time to get through. You have my sympathies

Hee hee - my siblings always attribute my love for tea to the English side of our gene pool - they tend to be coffee drinkers like the Swedes in the family, but my sister and nieces also like tea as much as I do!
Great Great Aunt Emma - she died before I was born, she was the sister and also a Lady in waiting and seamstress to Victoria - all I ever knew or heard about her was she hated it in America, and wanted to go back to England. Every one of my mother's cousin who I ever showed the photo album to said the same thing, "Oh, that's Aunt Emma - she hated it here!" She must have spent 60 years complaining! So your description fits!

I like Tea because it's delicious. Then again my granddad fed it me in a bottle when I was a wee bahby. He also done that to my sister, except she now drinks coffee now mind.
But I don't think they have discovered a Tea gene yet, though there could be a genuine love for Tea in our genetic makeup somewhere. Ironically we did fight a war for Tea, during the opium war. (yup reminiscing before my time)
Your Great Great Aunt sounds like my mum. If my mum lived in America she would hate it, I just got this feeling. People here piss here in Norwich piss her off for being to friendly. So, yup don't think it would work out for my mum.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hee hee - I know it is not technically in our DNA, but it is culturally - and when I had an office job, without fail, I would want a cup of tea at 4 p.m.!
There is so much variety of everything here in America, in climate and culture and just about everything else, but some people will complain no matter what! She might like NYC - no "too friendly" people there!
And of course we fought a war with you over tea - but it was actually over the taxes on it back in the Colonial era, so tea fell out of favor a little back then! Americans grew to prefer coffee just out of sheer defiance!

It has definitely become a big part of the British persona. Do you like British comedians at all? I know we English can be pretty conceited with our opinions of thinking we do comedy better than everyone else; well that and war. We think we our the best at war.
Well in Norwich people are pretty friendly. Life in London is lived with an unspoken bond that we don't bother each other; anyone braking this unspoken rule is looked down on. So my mums reaction is very comical in all honesty. I doubt she'd like NYC though. I can already hear her saying stuff like; there's too many tall building's, people honk there horns, no one knows any manners. I would put money on her saying that.
I'm thinking of the opium war when the British went to China because they embargoed trade with us. So we sent the worlds first iron clad warship and took Hong Kong as our colony, after that we got the Tea plants that they had been keeping tight guard over. That's when Tea trade became an open market.

Yes, and my husband a does, too. We watch a fair bit of BBC America programming. And we often notice the British "arrogance," as they still seem to think they are the Premier world power, and any American in the show is the brash upstart, and if it is a male, he sleeps with most every woman he encounters!
Yes, I remember that war, from history books anyway!

Cool. You seen any classic comedies, specifically ones done during the height of Ronnie Barker's career in the 70's. My fave series done by him is Porridge. Many people argue it's a good study of English social classes.
If you don't mind a you tube link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3dO-i…
You don't like it when we portray Americans as confident go-getter charismatic types?
What are you talking about, we English still matter. We could beat anyone at top trumps. In all seriousness though we do have a lot of political pull for a country our size, we also have a very good economy. Things are becoming very interesting politically in Europe. With a recent rise in right wing movement's, we have UKIP getting traction here right now. I think Front National is getting traction in France at this moment.
Have you ever heard of the pub landlord Al Murray. (please don't feel obliged to watch these video's) www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYiOCc…

I have not, but will bookmark that!
Yes, the English still do matter, and have influence, just are not the dominant superpower that some of the shows make them out to be! I don't mind when you "portray Americans as confident go-getter charismatic types" - just think it is funny when the only American in any group is invariably the one that has sex at every opportunity! And shoots someone at the drop of a hat! Some of us do have morals!
I have not heard of Al Murray, no!

Shame Al Murray is proper funny in a laddish way.
Well America gets a pretty nasty rap in a lot of the media so it's only fair to big you guys up a bit. Don't want to hurt anyone's feelings now
When has general TV ever been anything other than fiction. You don't honestly think the entire population of the UK think about that about the entirety of America right? I mean most of us do get an education. We are all only human too; sometimes people forget that.

Oh, I know that! It is just funny what stereotypes get picked! And yeah, it's all fiction, they just could spread the randiness amongst other characters from time to time! It is like in the original Star Trek show, whenever we saw it on reruns, you know the unfamiliar character in the red uniform will die by the end of the episode!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You know this is gonna sound sinful but I never made that connection. I know I was young but the only time I heard about red shirts is when I was told; with someone pointing it out to me. I'm not much of a Trek fan though so I kinda throw my hands up in defeat over this topic.
Bah, I can't get my head in tune with the conversation. I'm kinda hyped after I took a bunch of photo's today so I am kinda waiting for the inevitable ass beat that comes with uploading work. (grah I want to talk about photography and stuff but I don't want to sound like shameless self advertising)

That's fine! I know I am older than you, so we had different experiences growing up - my family are all big science fiction fans.

I'm big on sci-fi but I do lean towards the Star Wars and Babylon 5 series. B5 has everything I would love to see in our universe, I especially like the idea of there being races much older than humanity out there. Races who have grown in conscious to the point where there viewpoint of what they consider life to be is warped. And Star Wars is just awesome.

Yeah, I grew up reading Robert Heinlein and Ray Bradbury and Isaac Asimov - would sneak them from my Dad's library book pile - he read a stack of books a week! So I love nearly all of it! And what is really neat is I got to meet two out of the three of those authors in real life as a grown up!

Those were just the authors I was in awe of as a kid! Oh, I loved the Lord of the Rings books, we read the Hobbit in 10th grade and I finished it in a couple days, so read the three big ones on a loan from my teacher! I love when a book envelops you in its worlds and scenes and characters!
And yeah, you never know, we can indeed live in hope!

I can relate to that as I'm in awe of Douglas Adams. The philosophical works in Hitchikers redefined the way I think about the the universe. The simple statement the earth is mostly harmless as a footnote in the, guide to the Galaxy. Is quite humbling, I also love the meaning of life in a comical way. 42, as if we think the meaning of life is actually complicated when in truth it's very simple and right in front of us. So many people have gone into detail and inferred so much from what he's written but, I can't help but think he just wanted to say things are simpler than we make them out to be.
I want ant to olive long enough to see our species become an interstellar one but again. The best estimate for our spd its leaving earth is in over a thousand years.
