It's almost weekend, yippy yay! Ooooooooooooh exciting weekend, I can hardly contain my excitment, hmm I'm feeling slightly insane, I think it's sleep deprivation, I'm amazed at how many JU users suffer from sleep deprivation, it must be catching huh! I've decided thinking is bad for me, REALLY bad. My last trail of thought scared me slightly and kind of made me feel useless, hmm. Let me explain. I was thinking about my future, and I came to the conclusion, what a damn scary prospect, I don't know, I just don't fancy growing old and feeling I've achieved nothing. Which I guess is a good thing to think at twenty years old, still plenty of time to achieve stuff, I suppose, but I don't know what I want to achieve! Grrr.......I really don't know, do I want a career, do I want a family, do I want to be layabout, a famous actress, a famous writer, a dead famous writer, I just don't know. Then thinking this lead me on to other things, like what am I good at exactly? I don't mean averagely good at, like I can tie my own shoe laces, but I wouldn't exactly call it a talent, and you know what I found out about myself? I'm not talented, at anything! Now don't think this is me feeling sorry for myself, it's really not, it's just a process of logical thought, well as logical as you get on the amount of sleep I've had. There's nothing I do, that I'm really good at. I don't write in a wow factor way, I'm not a great singer, lol, but if it goes in the opposite direction, I am amazingly bad (watch out pop idol). I'm not really good at sports, I'm not really smart, I'm not anything out of the ordinary, I am decidedly average, hmm. I can live with average, I really can. Average and me are like soulmates, but I don't know what this means for my future, if I'm not really good at anything, what am I going to do? Be average at everything I do, that's kind of like yawn life, the life I was so against having when I was at school, deciding on my future. Just in case you're wondering i made no concrete decisions then either, shocking huh! I don't want to have a 9-5 job, that I hate, that does nothing for me, that I'm bored every day, but what to do instead, answers on a postcard please!

My friend told me I was self absorbed the other day, I didn't argue, I kind of agree. I know that isn't exactly a good thing, but I kind of like it, LOL, well obviously, it's about ME, hehe! I don't think my head is shoved completely up my own arse, but I do kind of think the world revolves around me ( well at lease kermits does, hehe! ), joking aside, I do take an interest in other people, I quite like thinking about other people, but it always comes back to me, hmmm. I don't know, maybe I just think my world is so much more important, and for me I guess it is, but I don't want to be one of these people that just cares about herself and no one else, hmmmm, a little bit of self indulgence is fine, just as long as it's in moderation, must remember that! Look at this blog, for example, ME, ME and ummm ME!

I saw Maddy Mae today, so adorable, when people say that it's amazing how much love you feel for them, I kind of never knew what they meant, but now I do. I sort of feel my heart expand everytime I see her. She's amazing, and I get excited over the silliest things! Wow, she can roll over, WOW, she can eat her own feet, WOW she can scream! Ahh, the joys of children! This weekend is going to be a good one, we have Mels bday on friday, ahhh a nice drinky then me thinks. Saturday is the FA Cup final, that will mean nothing to most of you, but the great Man Utd will be in action, to win their only cup of the season, oooooh, how exciting! If they lose, I will be here, full of anger about Arsenal and Chelsea, and all the other teams that are currently better than us, not that I'm a bad loser or owt! Then Sunday is another church event with Dom, yay! Hope it doesn't bring back bad memories of weird religious guy!

Take care folks, and if I don't find time to blog in my pissed up state tomorrow, have a wicked weekend xxxxxx

Hey Sal. You are so not self absorbed!! I think you come across as a very generous, selfless sort of person actually. Anyway, Spending time in your own head is waay easier than trying to get into other peoples'. Besides, it's your life, of course it's gonna be about you (and maybe some extras). Did that make any sense? And I'm sure you're not average. Maybe your talent is just hidden..go try new things till u find it! Maybe you're really uber good at tiddly winks, who knows?

Thanks for ur comment.. I'm not gonna leave NY, I'm gonna suck it up and start job hunting..as of today. If I ever get off this damn site!!

You asked me a bunch of questions in ur last comment? I don't mind, It's flattering to have someone be interested in my boring old life, plus I'm very nosy too, and I know sometimes I don't make things very clear in my blog, i didn't go into a lot of detail about the past or anything did I? Well here goes- I am 22, I moved to Ny cuz I've been in love with it as long as I can remember, and cuz my mom drove me crazy. I grew up in Salinas in California (setting of The Grapes of wrath, and that's just about the only interesting thing about it), my dad left when I was 12 and went home to France, and my mom got remarried when I turned 16, so I dropped out of highschool, and moved to New York when I was 17. I worked a bunch of Joejobs and got my bar job a year ago. And no, my mom doesn't have any kids with her new husband, but my dad's new wife is pregnant. 6 months or something I can't remember. I don't like her- she's one of those stuck up ridiculously skinny PR women.

And that's about it..Oh yeah, after I had a rant at Dave about his lunatic engagement he told me to go F*** myself and stormed out, so i dunno what's gonna happen with that...oops!He 's probably planning to leave for Las Vegas as we speak.

Will write an article to catch up later today ( since I don't have to work anymore). off job hunting- wish me luck!! (and thanks for ur support!)

Love Dyl xxx

Actually maybe its not the Grapes of wrath...I think it's of mice and men...well it's some kind of steinbeck novel who cares?
