Really haven't been here in forever

Life is a bitch, but awesome at the same time - Which basically keeps the balance equal all at the same time I suppose.

What have I been doing in the...3 and a half months since I was last here I hear...Hopefully someone ask...

Well, I've got college sorted out and my new subjects for me going back at enf of August, I've being overlooked by the lovely NHS and everything now I have 'ME' or 'Chronic Fatigue Syndrome' - But I don't care, my mum's after referals and stuff but we'll see what happens, I think i'll be able to cope okay now I understand myself more and know to stop whatever I'm doing when I feel too tired - Before I get to the dizzy/faint from tiredness stage and such.

Other stuff happening is I've got my social life back..Which is just AWESOME! It gives me such an adrenaline boost and it's so much fun.

And me and my mates make so many plans and suggestions - And I'm determined to do them all - I say within reason because I'm of course not 'better' - But I've decided not to let anything stop me by making me think 'oh I can't do this' when if I'm determined enough I can, and I am like a clinical planner, so by the time everything starts to happen I will be prepared for every eventuality. Plans in particular is Glastonbury 2008, but even if something did happen - Like me blacking out, I wouldn't be too worried, I'll be with my best friends who I trust completely and such and I wouldn't really be travelling round the field on my own if I was on the verge anyway.

Okay. So what's prompted me to revive this - And do I still want to be a journalist?

To answer the second question first: Yes!

But English and History, the subjects I'm focusing on, lead down so many different career paths that you just have to see what happens further down the line, but to be a journalist or radio broadcaster, or something like that would just be amazing still.

And as for the first question - My friend. And she doesn't even realise it. It's all to do with fashion, and I just feel like there's a lot to be said and done that isn't - Or maybe has been said but isn't getting done. And if anyone's stumbled on here and is confused, don't worry I'll be posting an article explaining all soon, right now my adrenaline has officially worn off, I'm dead, and going to sleep...

Not dead yet!

Hey everyone, I'm still alive and interested in my blog, though wow it's been a long time since i've posted! I apologise for that, (almost two weeks to be exact) and I've missed commenting on a few stories I've come across in the meantime which I'm annoyed about, so will have a recent newstory round up of the best ones tomorrow.

But I do have a relativly good excuse for not posting for so long - That thing some people know as 'real life'.

From Thursday 22nd of February to Sunday my little cousin (12) was staying over, and with him being here, and sleeping on the floor of my room, it was impossible to be able to concentrate long enough to post once - let alone every day, due to the fact he seems to have the mental age of about 6, so he wouldn't leave me alone, and kept closing my programs, stealing the mouse, pulling on the keyboard, writing gibberish, jumping on me, turning off my computer from the power button, etc... And he refused to treat me as an authoritive figure/adult because I'm 17 - so in his mind just a kid, so telling him off/hitting him round the head/banning him from watching a dvd/me reading to him/whatever else he wanted, etc... but that would do either nothing to stop him misbehaving, or make him go into a full blown tantrum.


The reason I'm explaining this is because it has hit on an (I think) interesting subject. I say this because I know several children, (mostly boys) around the 11-13 pre-teen age who act as if they are half the age they are - & the one common factor between all of them is the fact their parents had them late in life. Which makes me wonder if it's not just coincidence, but more a behavioural and mental pattern due to how a lot of parents in their early to mid (and in some case even late) 40's raise their children and how the chirldren in turn react to their parents when they become more aware of things like the fact their parents are much older than their friend's parents, etc...
But I'll save that article/discussion/debate, call it what you will for later in the week.

Anyway, on Sunday night my useless immune system got hit by a virus, so considering the fact I was ill to begin with, getting a fever, throwing up, hallucinating (pretty whacked out ones too), sneezing and coughing, (also setting off my tonsillitus) wasn't the best thing to happen...But got rid of that now, except for my cough which has stuck around with the tonsillitus.

And finally, the past couple of days didn't have time to post as I was busy planning a week trip to Cleveland, Ohio in America with one of my best friends in July. Yes - Not one of the most obvious tourist spots in the states, but one of my other friends is moving out there on March 12th, so it's a chance to see her, and there's a gig we want to see in Lakeside on while we're there. Reason for telling you that is because i'll be doing a diary on the trip when it happens, and also a few articles in relation to planning it. (Not least a few rants on certain policies in some/all of the American states.. And then there's the little matter of 'Amendment 2', but not going to go into that now...)

Okay, so that's pretty much me up to date, thank you all my readers, and especially those who leave comments, and sorry for not replying to some of the comments left on or after the 21st of Frb that I wasn't able to reply to, and i'll try and catch up on all your blogs within the next couple of days.
