On Wednesday I'm going to the Manchester Werewolf Chapter again.

If you've not heard of it before, Werewolf is a game. A social game. A game about how to lie, how to tell when someone is lying and how to drink and do the previous two things.

It's a bit wacky but everyone is really friendly and it's sooo funny! :)

Anyway, here's the details:

Manchester Werewolf Chapter

7 – 11pm, Wednesday, 3rd February

Pure Space, 11-13 New Wakefield Street, Manchester

I don't aspire to be one either; I am one!

Introducing www.pokebook.co.uk...

Pokebook is an exciting new service which has transformed the landscape of the web. Designed for teenagers with too much time on their hands, it has been specifically engineered to capture the attention of kids as they flip between youtube and bebo.

Pokebook is currently about to enter a private alpha period whilst
looking for VC seed funding to take this exciting new venture to the
next level.

I don't usually have any time for this sort of thing. I rarely read the irritating chain-note-thingys that seem to be common on facebook these days.

However, a friend of a friend recently posted this to facebook.

I thought it was neat, sorry if you think it's lame. :-/

I'd be this Boyfriend...

When she stares at your mouth
Kiss her

When she pushes you or hits you like a dummy cause she thinks she's
stronger than you
Grab her and don't let go
