Tomorrow is the day... That I have been waiting three years of my life for.

Going to Edinburgh tomorrow!

I leave this dump to go to the most magnificent place in the whole wide world… Manchester, England!!!

I feel guilty because I have to leave my dad (who also really wants to go) behind :’( and I wanted to spent it with him. But instead, I’m spending it with my grandma that I haven’t seen on so many years, but that’s pretty awesome too :)

I think I wasn’t too nervous until today. What if grandma doesn’t like me? What if the TSA steal something outta my bag? What if my 20 something year old cousin (who never had a girlfriend before and recently ‘liked’ a page called I Hate Being Single) starts having feelings for me? O.O

Eh, I’ll just throw a burger at him. All I hope for is to not look like I come from a home filled with garbage, mess, fat lards, idiots, or… well… drugs! I wanna look like I come from a fun, higher class, smart intelligent home……….. Wish that was the truth v.v

But I’m sharing a room with my grandma cause apparently my uncle who lives there (who used to do drugs and is super religious it ain’t even funny oh, and is a total prick) prays late at night in the guest room… so its either share a room with my grandma and have nowhere to jack-off or be woken up every night to some freak praying at my bedside -.-

I know I’m going to have fun, though. I’m going to my most favorite places in the whole world, seeing people I’ve been wanting to see for so many long years, and see where I could live in ten years from now.

Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire, England

February 2010

“100,000 Britons have chosen to become Muslim. About 5,200 people in UK adopted faith last year alone. The number of Muslim converts in Britain has passed 100,000, fuelled by a surge in young white women adopting the Islamic faith. The figure has almost doubled in ten years. The numbers, revealed in a study by multi-faith group Faith Matters, have led to claims that the country is undergoing a process of ‘Islamification’. The report estimated around 5,200 men and women have adopted Islam over the past 12 months, including 1,400 in London. Nearly two-thirds were women and the average age at conversion was 27. In 2001, there were an estimated 60,000 Muslim converts in Britain.”

Free-Market Babies?

By Donna Dickenson

Posted on May 24, 2011

Does India need a new independence struggle? The fight this time would not be against British colonialism, but rather against the United Kingdom’s approach to regulating reproductive medicine. At a time when India is considering a sort of matchmaking service for Western couples seeking to hire Indian surrogate mothers, the UK government has announced the abolition of two leading medical regulatory agencies.

Meanwhile, as these countries move farther down the road to free markets in reproductive medicine, France is debating all of its bioethics laws — and continuing to stand up for a different model, focused on social justice and protection of vulnerable women. There is an alternative simply to letting the market decide, the French Assembly insists.

At some point, many countries are likely to find themselves embroiled in similar debates and controversies over reproductive rights and obligations. So it is necessary to clarify what is at stake in how we regulate — or de-regulate — in vitro fertilization (IVF), egg sales, and surrogacy.
