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

Before i joined JU I was totally ignorant to blogging and just what it meant and what you actually did with it. Since coming to JU, in a short period I've learnt an awful lot about it. Through reading other peoples blogs, and seeing responses to mine, and if I'm honest it's got me slightly intrigued. I did a search today to see what other blog sites I could find and compare them to JU, and see if they all follow a similar pattern, or of their are huge differences. Now maybe I'm just compl...

I just had to share this with you, my sister invested in a nursery rhyme tape for my niece, oh the torture of it all. Isn't it time these babies were updated! The worst thing is I've found myself singing them! I find myself singing such treasures as....(Imagine sickly sweet far to happy cheery cheesy voice as you read these) 1 little, 2 little, 3 little Indians. 4 little, 5 little, 6 little Indians. 7 little, 8 little 9 little Indians. 10 little Indian boys!!!! ( My personal favourite...

I love sport, with a passion, oh how I love sport. I can pretty much turn my hand to any sport, and enjoy it, apart from cricket, that goes way over my pretty head! Even snooker, I know about snooker (kind of), not that I should admit to that thank my Dad, and a wasted youth. Without a doubt my first passion is football, I love it! I'll get onto that later though. My second favourite sport is probably tennis. Two weeks of Wimbledon, is just heaven, not that I've managed to watch much of...

I don't really know how to start this blog, I don't consider myself to be very sympathetic, I have sympathy for people in situations beyond their control, I have sympathy for people in pain, people who suffer, but I find it very difficult to have sympathy for people who aren't willing to help themselves, who have options open to them but choose to live their life a certain way and then they aren't willing to live with the consequences, it really annoys me. It's like someone going out on a ni...

People are strange creatures, I'm definitely a strange person, but I'm happy to be like that the stranger things about me make me who I am. What I'm more interested in is how people interact with each other. I was talking to my Auntie the other day and she says there are certain people she just takes a certain disliking to. They don't even have to do anything to her and she can just not like everything they do. I think I'm the same. I easily judge people, it's not something I'm proud of ...

I have been writing on JU for a while now, a few months, and when I first started I hardly read any other blogs. I suppose I was pretty ignorant to other peoples blogs, but slowly I read more and more, and became a regular reader of a few, which I guess is to be expected if you're around here for long enough. What I didn't expect was the people reading my blog, I really didn't think I'd get people that interested in what I have to say. I read some fab fiction on here, I read some great po...

Well birthday weekend is over, and I promised a run down of what went on didn't I, I'd like to say that it will probably be a very exciting read, but I'm sure it will just turn into one long whinge. I am currently snuggled under my duvet, sneezing and shivering and looking out of my window at the sun, wishing I could escape outside, instead of putting up with my family, grrr! Where to start, Saturday night was great, went out with all my friends, had some shots and cocktails, and vodkaaaaa...

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 read this article Link and I really enjoyed it, so I've found these questions that I'd like you all to answer.........the deeper the better! Hehe! 1) How do we think we are viewed by others? 2) How do we view ourselves? 3) How do we relate to friends? 4) How we perceive our sexuality? Enjoy folks!

I watched this documentary last night and for some reason I couldn't stop watching it, I wanted to but I couldn't. I'm not a huge fan of art, I appreciate it but I don't claim to know a great deal about it. This picture Link is called L'Enfant, photographed by a company called Athena, it was their best selling picture of the 1980's, and still is a well remembered piece, remembered mostly for the simplicity of the picture. It is a man holding a baby. SImple, huh. Adam Perry the model ...

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 ...

I didn't sleep well at all last night I fell asleep at 1ish and woke up at 5am, great nights sleep, I might try and nap later! I went to the gym this morning I always have such a good feeling after I work out, like I can take on the world, yay me! I think I'm slightly obsessed with my weight, I'm stuck between the person I see in the mirror and the 'real' me. Plus my bum, obsessed is putting it mildly, in my opinion a good bum can make or break a girl. I'm torn between using the word arse...

There was a look in his eye, she couldn't tell if it was fear or defiance. Maybe a bit of both. She knew he was scared. She heard him cry himself to sleep at night. Sobs, long and hard, filled with a lifetime of frustration. She knew she should run to comfort him, she knew her first instinct should be to want to protect him, make him feel better. She was too lost in her own self pity. Too swamped up by her own pain. Her own suffering, she didn't need or want anyone elses. As she scre...

Prepare yourselves, I'm in a slightly hyperactive stae, so what I write may make little to no sense! I am VERY dizzy, I am forever walking into things, falling over, and generally doing stupid things. I think it's because I walk around with my head in the clouds most of the time, and pay little attention to what's going on in the world around me, now this is all well and good. Though it's left me with a huge fear of learning to drive, I just think that my attention will wander and I'll end...
