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

I love strong women and women with a bit of spunk. In a society dominated by men, we need them women to show what is what. I am also a sports freak. I adore sports. The effort that goes into it. The passion behind it. The tears, and feeling they can make you have. When the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end, there is no other feeling like it. Oh how I love it. I enjoy tennis alot, and there are no stronger women, than the Williams sisters. They gave the womens game a new l...

Summary of Idealists Make sense of the world using inner values Focus on personal growth and the growth of others Think of themselves as bright, forgiving and curious May sometimes appear stubborn More about Idealists Idealists put time and energy into ...

What is a friend exactly? The concept of friends confuses me. I recieved an e-mail today. You know one of them stupid, pass this on to so many people and they will be your true friends. This e-mail stated that we only ever had eight true friends. Eight? Hmmm....I don't know if I buy this. I guess it is all about what we consider a friend to be. We have friends for different reasons, on all different levels. We have people that will listen to us. We have people who entertain us. We ...

I am going to die, one day whether it be today, tomorrow or sixty years down the line. I will die. This concept used to scare the hell out of me, I mean where do you go, what happens? Is that it, nothingness for eternity. I don't have religious beliefs. I don't believe in certain things, because the truth is, I don't really know. I don't know what will happen till I die. To believe I will return to earth in another capacity is just not possible. Because though it could possibley happ...

You do the same thing, over and over again. Every time you do the task the same way, but each time you expect different results. You still get the same outcome, but this just makes you more determined to change the task, but first you have to change the way you do it. I can't sleep. As usual. I'm not feeling very well. So if this blog is slightly insane, I'm sorry. I feel the need to ramble, and sorry but JU you're it to ramble too. Usually when I write an article it's written out in ...

I wrote an article recently about the problem with girl gangs, and I'm generally always going on about the youth of today. Because I'm a whinging old hag maybe, but one bright spark on the thread said we were always quick to point out these problems, but not so quick to find a solution. This is true for so many things. That we all have opinions but not many solutions. A television experiment came to my rescue though. "That'll teach 'em" Now here in England we have GCSE's all students do...

My eyes are wide open. I see where I'm going, I choose my next steps carefully, I calculate them in my head. One step in front of the other, what's so difficult to understand about that? You need to hold your head up high. Sometimes that's tough, sometimes you want your eyes not to meet others. Sometimes the floor is your friend. To look the world in the eyes is just difficult. If you do manage to hold your head up high, and walk, one foot in front of the other, confidently, there are ...

I've just watched a documentary that has wound me up beyond belief. This programme was originally about girl gangs. To see just how bad the 'gang' situation was in England. This programme followed three young girls. Fifteen or sixteen, and what they go through day to day. They totally infuriated me. Rude, ignorant and stupid is what they were, and I have hardly any sympathy for them. The man that did the documentary thinks they are a product of society. I think that, that's an excuse....

The Beckhams are having another baby! Front page news! Far more important than murders, crime, war, politics! Of course it's far more important, I mean the Beckhams have pulled through them times of bad publicity, and are now ready to continue courting the media, because now it suits them. What is it about stars that demands this kind of attention. Why do us mere mortal have such an interest in them. Bookies are already taking bets on what they will call this child. I mean come on peop...

I've been in thoughtful mode alot recently. Thinking about now, and the future, and where I'm going, what I'm doing. All these things should be considered, but not worried about. I wonder about the person I've become. I see my Mum look at me sometimes, and I know she doesn't get me. She doesn't understand my behaviour. I can dig that, because some of the things she does are alien to me. We are just different people, and I know she tries to understand me, and she does that because she l...

The internet. A great invention. Opening the doors to hundreds of different worlds. Thousands of different sites. Millions of different people. We all here at JU use it to the best of our advantage. Having said that, the internet comes with its own stigma. You see you are a nameless, faceless person. It allows those of us that maybe are slightly socially retarded, something to hide behind. A chance to create something new for themselves. So the people using the internet either have ...

I want your money. I don't really like you that much, but as I've put up with you for so long, I've let you touch me in an intimate way, I've laughed at your unfunny jokes, I've washed your clothes, met your friends, held your hand, for all these reasons and many more, I deserve a share in your money. I'm not going to date you for long, just long enough to get your feelings involved, so your heart flutters ever so slightly when you see me, just so that you reach the point where you're achin...

Well JU it's finally happened, I've ran out of things to say. Yep. I sat for ages trying to think of something to write an article on, and though I over recent times I have managed a few articles. I am dry, and I always told myself when I was dry, I wouldn't write. There is nothing worse than killing something completely. Bowing out gracefully is the way to go. So this is what I'm doing. Which is perfect timing as I'm going on my holidays in a few hours. Two weeks of sun, sea and sand....
