Hello

Hello. Well this is a nice surprise for me. I should probably apologise that I haven't been able to post on here for quite some time but I left it so long that I felt I needed a special event or right of passage to mark my right to post again. I felt I should have gone through some massive change so I could be more prepared to write up an academically astute piece for my millions of worldwide followers. The face that I needed the help of my computer's dictionary to spell both 'academically' and 'astute' shows to you that my mind really hasn't reached that amount of development.

But today was the day of my last GCSE examination and when I got home I had the sole idea of reading About a boy and sleeping. However I tucked myself in bed (new mattress is heavenly) and one thing led to another and ended up thinking that this was a time of when I felt so content that I might as well just try a post to see how it comes out. At the time of typing my 'Suck it and see' CD has just finished and from my bunk bed in purely pants and socks and my Thundercats pillow I feel that I'm in a position to open up and just type for as long as seems possible to me.

When I first starting writing on this blog I basically just did it because I was feeling pretty lonely. I enjoyed posting my updates onto twitter because at the time twitter was a relative quiet world where only my closest friends were able to see it. My audience has changed somewhat because twitter has recently become polluted (don't take it personally) by real people. You know, people from the real world? Yeah it's a bitch to admit. This doesn't bother me so much because I'm expecting the tone of my posts to be more joyful because the basis of my former motivation has changed somewhat. Most of you know this anyway but I suppose I should state the obvious.

I have a girlfriend now.


Ohhh, bombshell.

Yeah. So that's cool. I did consider blogging about it the first week of us getting together but I thought some things were better left unsaid. It was simpler that way. We were both happy to be with each other and we didn't want to rub in all your faces. Saying that I think what follows could count as a slight rubbing. It's been over five months and being with her (she will remain un-named) has been great for me. Girls are unquestionably just a bit weird, and I have learnt a bit more about how the minds of women work. I love being with her for what I get out off it (no I don't mean like that) and she keeps me on my toes. I think that'll be enough for now really. Cool.

Since you guys last popped in I have been collecting quite a lot of vinyl. I have to admit that a lot of my records have been presents, what with it being my birthday last week, but the collection does feel very personal to me. I urge as many of you as possible to try and start your own collection. It brings you a lot of satisfaction and the real personal relationship between you and the music (particularly with events such as record store day) is something I feel a lot of people miss these days.

I was lucky enough to get myself some new books for my birthday. Bridget Jones was brilliant in understanding the minds of ladies who get unlawfully sent to prisons in Thailand. Last night I finished reading fight club. Wow. Wow oh wow. I loved film but reading the book was actually an honour for me. Chuck Palahniuk wrote that novel in a way which blew me away. It's just a shame for me that I already knew the ending. I do ponder over what it would be like to read the book not knowing what to expect.

Also since I last wrote I've grown a pair and applied to a different school for my six form education next year and the year after. I think I've made the right choice, but inevitably I am going to miss so many people (including one or two teachers) and if I don't cry tonight at my prom there's no real hope for me and I should just be willing to accept that I am heartless.

There is probably a lot more I could be saying right now but I've been wittering on a while, I need a wee quite badly and my darling George is coming over to play Fifa on my Playstation 2 for the first time since before my exams started.

So it really has been lovely being back. I expect to be back soon what with me having nothing to do any more during the day. You'll have to live with imperfections because I can't be bothered to proof read. See you all soon!

P.S, this is what my wall now looks like. It's fantastic for me.
