Regarding 'The Count of Monte Cristo' I have to say that the film (while being pretty good) isn't a tenth as good as the fantastic book.

I think it was a good example that you used though because Edmund Dantes treatment is the complete unjustice. He is locked in the worst prison in france and tortured yet he is an honourable, talented and decent man.

The point I am trying to make is that life is definately not fair and there are injustices all the time. I never ask the question 'Why God' when something happens bad happens to me becaause life isn't fair and God has nothing to do with it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Every so often, I'll go through the self-pity stage but it doesn't happen as often as it did. I've finally realized that shit happens and you have to push through it with a positive attitude. Hopefully, you learn something from it and become a better person. Certainly better than turning bitter and mean.

That sounds horrible and you both have my sympathy. Piano and music are an obsession of mine and I would be devastated if I could no longer pursue it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

None of this boarding school-homelessness shit.

I went to boarding school (with 'saturday school') as well, finished last year: I am now 19.

I found it pretty good in the later stages (sixth form) but the first two years when I was 11-12 were awful.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
