my thoughts....and all their weirdness!!

Do you ever feel unfulfilled? Like your life isnt how you want it to be? There are so many things i want t change-some which i cant, but the majority i can....so why dont i? Im really not sure....

Ive always been the typoe of person who starts something and then stops, grows bored or just gives up-looking back through my life so far, i did recorders in primary for a little bit, and then choir, and netball, i joined brownies-got my uniform and then left soon after, i did tennis at high school....but i stuck at none of these things-i started learning both piano and guitar....yet i can still play neither!! What does that say about me-that im a quitter?

Yet at the same time, i stuck it through college, when my depression was at its peak, i stuck it our during first year at uni, even when i failed a placement and felt so low... im so confused about who i am, what i am, how i am...

Do you even wonder where your life is going? I mean, i never wanted to be a teacher, i adamently stated many a time that it wasnt what i wanted to do...yet here i am, 2/3 of my way through a teaching degree and enjoying it-apart from the course being the most disorganised pile of crap, but yeah.... I mean, things change so much-i had some awesome mates in college, and now we hardly speak, and thats not through my lack of trying :(

My point is...im an adult, right? Im 21 this year, ive got one more year at uni and then what...i go and get a job???? Does a person ever feel ready for that? Adulthood is a scary thing...where am i going to live, who with, what if i dont get a job, or i get one and hate it, or cant do it....there are so many things going through my head-because this time next year il have done all my assignments, had all my lectures., and be applying for jobs-no more student life...just the real world, in all its terrifying, exciting glory!!

What happpens when i get my degee-am i gonna stay friends with the people i know now, what happens to me & Tom, if we're still together????? The fact that so much is open to chance and is so unpredicatable scares the shit out of me...

placement is over-it was awesome, but im glad i can now have more time to myself again and get to see Tom more etc. Although having said that ive got lectures all day tomorrow and then im working in the evening, but hey ho!! Now ive started this entry i really cant think of what to write....so im gonna go cook tea with Tom and il update tomorrow or sometime

sleep...give me sleep!!

Placement is fun, but i cant wait until its over!!

Im overtired, am over emotional due to stupid mother nature, and thus feel like complete poo :(
All i want to do is curl up in bed, bawl my eyes out and then sleep for a week, at least!! I hate feeling like this-im thinking things that i dont like, im feeling things i dont want to feel, i hate being this way-god damm extra hormones :(

I just want someone to hold me and tell me it will all be ok.....

Being Adult...

If this is adulthood, then i don't like it!! I'm so confused, i don't know what i want, who i want to be with, where i want to go....i don't know who i am anymore!!

I'm majorly confused!!

I was thinking the other day, that surely life is what you make it....but know i'm not so sure, i don't know what decisions to make, what choices to choose.....

I would really like to be a child again, at times....life was so much easier when the worst part of your day was when you weren't allowed to buy any sweets!!

Love is so complicated.....
Do you love like you've never been hurt?
Is it better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all?

I honestly don't know anymore......i have so many regrets in my life already, i don't want anymore, but i honestly don't know what to do....

people....

i never realised quite how petty people can be!!

No pain, no gain...i think not, currently ive got a lot of pain, and the only thing ive gained is a shed load of stress, which really dont need anymore of.

Im so fed up with this whole thing, why do people have to be so two faced, cant they just get a grip and grow up!!

Im trying, so hard to make this work, yet i feel like im the one to blame, me and the ginger seem to have made our peace, but the cling on is kicking up a fuss still, saying things about my friends etc....seriously i wish she would just get over it and move on, for the sake of us all!! If shes not careful then a fair few people are gonna be having words with her, and i cant stop them....

I just want all this to blow over, im sick to death of it all.

GRRRR

on a more positive note, i bought 2 pairs of jeans today :) they are very nice

lemonade anyone?

Well hello....i hope everyone had a good Christmas and New year :)

Who made New Years resolutions and has broken them already....? I thought so :P

Why do we do it...we make them every time, year after year...even though its a pretty standard guarantee that by the end of January we will have forgotten about them, broken them, or simply not found time to act on them....

Thats quite sad, if you think about it, as a human race i feel we spend too much time, wondering, hoping, wishing...and not enough time DOING!! Instead of deciding what to do for the new year-go out and do it, make a start.

How do you eat an elephant-one bite at a time....so take that bite, dont be overwhelmed by the looming giant 'thing'.....its only scary if you let it be

Life is a scary place...but one thing i have learnt this year so far, is that I have the ultimate power and control. Going with the saying....life gives me lemon-FACT, what happens to them is entirely up to me....i can make lemonade, or lemon pie, or, squeeze them on pancakes-the possibilities are endless, yet usually, my lemons end up going old and brown in the fridge because i didnt act upon what life gave me, i expected/assumed/hoped that the lemons would get up and sort themselves out....funnily enough, they never do!!

Anyway, im not actually quite sure where that lot came from, although i guess i have been doing a lot of thinking lately...about who i am, what i want, about my life and where its going, what im doing etc-Mum, if your reading this, dont panic, im ok, just going through a contemplative stage :)

A question for you to think about, even thought i think Helen is the only person who actually reads this....

What is Love?

i give my version of love, to all you out there,

Never fear, i'll be back-whether you like it or not :P xxxx

please help...

Hey guys, not much has happened here other than the one biggy.

We found out that the University of Cumbria are in debt and therefore wish to 'close' Ambleside campus, where i study, and move all current and future students to Lancaster or Carlisle...we dont want to live there, we dont want to move, we dont want it to close and therefore, with the help of the local MP we are petitioning. You may have seen us mentioned on the news, we have been on ITV, BBC and in various papers aswel as on BBC Radio Cumbria. Please, if your reading this, sign the petition below and pass it on to everyone else you know. The more names the better :)

Thankyou

sad times

my fish have died-RIP Tim & Tom :(

sad times!!

they were super pretty fish aswell :(

I blame it on The Duggan-Alex is coming up tomorrow for a visit :D i bet they knew and decided that it was better to die than risk being kidnapped n put in the grandad pond like poor old Piddles haha lol

*Piddles is Alex's fish who she had in a tank n then abandoned him to the big wide world...aka the pond*

today i have hoovered my room, done my washing, washed my pots, cleaned Tim & Tom *sniff*, cleaned Salt & Pepper, washed my hair....n am now sorting the rest of the rubbish around my room so i can get to my floor, to put my pots away and then pack for Easter.

Im going home on Sunday :) woop woop. im stayin with Amyyyyyy on sun eve n we r gonna have a good old catch up-aka alcohol moaning session :P woop :D then monday ive got my first Pass Plus lesson-cos my goal for the summer is to drive to the camp site-aka on the motorway!!

i had a nap earlier and i dreamt about the light in our toilet-im thinking that makes me an immense saddo!! teehee

Shania Twain has just reminded me i wanna paint my nails!!

Think im gonna be up for fair few hours now, as i dont wanna be sorting tomorrow as i wanna spend some time with Alex :D im getting the train to Preston with her and Fiona on sun n then im changing n there going back to Alex's-should be a fun journey!!

Yesterday it was February....Today it is March

good afternoon people.

i didnt like my new layout...and cant find one that suits...so its back to this for now!!

Friday was Lizz's birthday-we went to the bar and it was a brilliant night-very very fun :) Me and James kinda became official :D :D :D :D woop!!!! it was such an awesome night-we nearly went skinny dipping..but then Pete chickened out..so it would have only been me and James so we didnt bother!!

We went back to Lizz's after the bar shut-her and James had a fight with a plastic fold up crate-it was immensly humorous....and slightly painful by the look of their knuckles-they were rather drunk, need i mention!! We left their about 4ish

Me and James went to bed about 6ish-and then i got up at 11.30 as i was uncomfortable and couldnt sleep....i went round to Emily's and had pancakes with them lot :) it was fun..a flour fight ensued...which i thankfully avoided!! i returned and woke James at 1.30....but then we both fell asleep again untill about 3 *shock horror* at which point i decided we HAD to get up, so we went to the spar and then up to the cottage and hung out for a bit-he was boring and looked at his warhammer magazine, so i left n then chilled in my room for a bit...with the intention of blogging etc...which obv didnt happen!! i then went for a nap at about 7pm, and woke up about an hour ago, still in yesterdays clothes!!!!!!!!!!! *oops* since then, ive changed, had a drink, am eating breakfast, made my bed...and am now blogging-as you can tell :P

anyway...id decided i wasnt going to church today, due to lack of sleep etc!! however i am going to the evening service-im doing projectory again...have got to be their at 5 so i can learn about how it is set up etc, so i can maybe take over when James *not my ginger* leaves this year!! so that should be good :) i like Re:New-it reminds me of being at home-worship songs n stuff :) Anyway-today is also Sophie's birthday, thus we are going round to hers 2ish...so i will be sad to leave thier for church...but oh well!! hopefully i can join them again when im finished...which will be amusing as they will all be drunk no doubt-oh the hilarity!!

anyway....tatty bye xxxxx

Monday, 23 February 2009

Change

Things are gonna change, starting with my new layout!! secondly with the fact that ive not seen James all day-im still alive, we are independant people and do not need each other permeanatly.

Thirdly ive done lots of work today, which is good...considering iut was due in at 2pm and ive got an extension till tomorrow-however im in Art at 9 and English at 11, meaning i probably wont havr time to do it tomorrow!!

Fourthly, ive booked a drs appt for weds morning-im gonna see about getting my meds upped, so i can be a bit more stable whilst working on my new list of changes!!

Fifthly im gonna healthier and happier!! i had a smoothie with my tea-im aiming to have one day :) so thats a good start!!

Sixthly i sent a msg today that needed sending, i should havw done it in person...but right now, msg form will have to do-lets hope things move on in a more positive manner relating to it!!

Seventhly-back to work and an early night for an early morning. xxx
