Concerning LJ...
I'm well aware that I haven't updated my journal in a very long time.
In all honesty, I have very little time for it any more. I still enjoy reading others' journals and commenting where I have something worthwhile to contribute, but I (as you've noticed) rarely use my own any more.
One of the main reasons for this is the time. Poor excuse I know, but I've been exceedingly busy lately. When I make an update, I usually spend a long time on it - for whatever reason, whether it's because I have a lot to say, or I just want to say it how I mean it, and that takes time. So I don't just update in an odd 5 minutes I have to spare, for no particular reason. I'm not sure why, I just don't work that way. Most of the time when I do this, I read over what I've written and realise that it's a whole load of waffle and isn't really saying anything. So I delete it, and go back to whatever I was doing. Yeah, yeah, I know - my journal, I can post anything even if it doesn't really say anything. I just don't want to.
Because I'm perfectionist like this, I don't update much. I'm aware that my mutual friends list is dwindling, probably because of this, but I assure each and every one of you that I still read and enjoy your journals, and think of you. For those who decided to remove me (if you actually still read this), sorry that you felt you had to remove me, but there was probably a good reason. I promise to try and comment more...
So, for some actual content, here's what's going on in my life at the moment:
PS. Tom (new cat) is still as grumpy as ever, most of the time. He's mellowing, though, and certainly has his cute and cuddly moments.

So, for some actual content, here's what's going on in my life at the moment:
- House Plays - I'm directing a play this year, and it's getting to be extremely stressful! It's being performed on 22/23 March, should be fun.
- Driving - I'm 17 in 6 days time, so I've got my provisional and am all set to start learning. Hooray!
- College - working towards some deadlines at the moment, on a unit that utterly bores me. It's tough because it's so dull, but I'm getting there.
- School - business as usual. I got my results back for the January modules, though. I took Core Maths 1 and Statistics 1, and got an A in both of them! Extremely pleased with that!
- Other - New Palm! Got myself a new shiny Tungsten E. Not that big a deal, as there's not a whole lot more it can do compared to my other one, but it has mp3 capabilities for when I cba to take my Zen with me, much more processing power and a lovely higher-res screen. Plus it's in absolutely gorgeous condition, which is nice.
