"Conversation should be pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, free without indecency, learned without conceitedness, novel without falsehood."

When I write I find my emotions just flow out on to the page and I can be as open and honest as I wish to be. I find most of the time I'm like this when I speak. I have a great amount of respect for people who are straight with you, they may not always tell you what you want to hear, but you know what they say is the truth and in my opinion that is priceless. People articulate their feelings in many different ways, some are upfront, some hide their feelings, some shove their opinions down ...

It's wednesday, ahh yes Wednesday! Not long before Kermits home. Yay! Well it's actually a week, but if I keep telling mysefl it's not long, it will fly by (I hope!). I'm missing him like crazy. I keep thinking to myself, oooh I wonder what he's upto, I wonder if he's having a good time, I wonder if he's missing me. Sad I know. but things happen, and I think I must tell Kermit about that, then I remember he's not here, but a week isn't that long, right? I hope he hasn't forgotten me, ...

I know I'm always going on about the children of today, and really I can't talk, because I am but a child of today myself. However this one got me a little rattled. Life is a set of stages, we learn, we train, we work, we retire, we enjoy life. Hopefully we will enjoy life througout, but you see what I'm saying. Now there are two major issues that we have problems with. First is the unemployment of young people. Secondly is the loneliness of old people, and them wanting independance, bu...

According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were kids in the 60's, 70's and early 80's probably shouldn't have survived, because our baby cots were covered with brightly coloured lead-based paint which was promptly chewed and licked. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, or latches on doors or cabinets and it was fine to play with pans. When we rode our bikes, we wore no helmets, just flip flops and fluorescent 'spokey dokey's' on our wheels. As children, we w...

I looked after Maddy mae today, she is so amazing. Amazing in ways that I would never thought anyone could be. She sneezes and I'm amazed, she coughs and I think *wow*. She is just the best thing to come in my life in a long time. When the world is getting at you, when you are totally confused about things, you can just look at her and she puts things into perspective. How can you not love this little thing, that all ways needs to have a hand on you to feel comfort. How can you not love...

I hate it when things end. The end makes me sad. The end of relationships. The end of school. The end of jobs. The end of friendships. They are all incredibley sad. I'm far more emotional than I'd like to admit. The end is sad for everyone. I know. When something ends, I always seem to forget I'm starting something new to eventually end. I think I am just a creature of comfort. I like to know what's going on, I get used to certain things, and then for them to end, it's sad. It ma...

I know your secrets. I know things you don't tell your best friend. I know your fears. I know how you write. I can see your style. I know alot about you. I don't know, alot more though. I don't know how you laugh. Whether it's loud, and embrassing. Or more of a giggle. I don't know your handwriting. I don't know how you hold you head. I don't know if you look people in the eyes. Or look down slightly. I can't imagine you in movement. I may have seen pictures. How do you speak ...

I've always been small for my age. I still am a short arse. I guess that would make me an easy target for people to 'pick' on me for example. I had a few things working for me while I was at school though, I had a mouth that more than made up for what I was lacking in height. I had a good sense of humor, so I was able to laugh my way out of difficult situations, and I had big sisters. Plus I'm a pretty nice lass, so people generally liked me. I wasn't overly popular, but I was no where ...

First impressions are very important. We judge so much from what we see of a person at the begginning, and them impressions are generally hard to shift. You see we trust ourselves, we have to really. Who else do we really have to rely on? We are with ourselves all the time, we have to trust our own judgement. We have to decide who to trust, who not to. To be fair these things aren't built up on first impressions but they are the basis, they are what starts are thoughts off on this perso...

I'm going to be 21 in two days, how very scary, I can't wait, I'm like a little kid. Party weekend here I come. I know it will be an anti-climax and I'll get all excited and something awful will happen, no doubt, but I can look forward to it! I went shopping today, bought some lovely clothes, got my hair done, so I'm feeling all lurvly, hehe! I'm writing this now, as I don't think I'll be in any fit state to write anything even slightly sane over the next few days, and this is only a qui...

I shouldn't be writing this blog. I'm in a horrible mood. Due to many things. Which I will share here, I suppose. It might make me feel less grumpy though I doubt it. I decided I would throw myself into the xmas festivities. With Christmas there is two paths you can go down, you can either be like the grinch, moan at everything and whinge and moan some more, or you can embrace it, and enjoy the plus points it has to offer. I decided a little embracing. Last night I had a xmas party to...

I have this annoying friend, who has an office job. Her favourite task for her work filled days, is forwarding me stupid e-mails. Which tell me that unless I pass this on to one hundred people in ten minutes I will die a horrible death, or something along them lines. Usually when I recieve these little treasures from her, I just delete them, without even opening them. This one had quite an interesting title, it went along the lines of..... SALLY I KNOW YOU HATE THESE, BUT YOU REALLY MU...

I am generally a pretty private person. I don't like to share to much with people. I guess it's an issue of trust really. I trust hardly anyone, and those I do choose to trust, I only have different levels of trust for them. It would be difficult for me to tell you people I trust completely. There's one, maybe two people I trust completely. With everything. I find it difficult to tell people things. My family is like a running Jerry Springer show. There's always things that are going...

I am slightly obsessed with theme tunes. I think music can draw such emotion, or when you think back to something and you hear the music it just brings it home. So if we were looking back at a compilation of highlights from this election, what music would it be too? I heard this song, and I thought it was perfect, from Bush's perspective at least. I'm a secret Queen fan btw . I've paid my dues Time after time I've done my sentence But committed no crime And bad mistakes I've made...

Well it's official JU I am an old boring hag. I went out on Saturday night for a drink with the girls and then on to a club to shake my ass in an r'n'b club. Sounds all fun doesn't it. Can I just ask, when did the world get so violent? Maybe it's just because I don't see it, but I witnessed so many fights, and so many injuries on Saturday, it was awful. Why do people get so nasty when they have had a few drinks. We were waiting outside the club to get in, me and some friends. I was mes...
