First 'proper' entry of the year I guess. I think LJ over the last year has been, well, dead. Since the controversial attacks and people freaking out, it hasn't been the same since. I've been on the LJ scene for six years. SIX YEARS!! Longer than well anything I guess lol.

Today it's Alex's birthday. He turns 16. Miss B's eldest son. So I gave him a ( Read more... )

I seriously haven't been posting like regulary. Around this time last year I couldn't stay away from LiveJournal. I'll need to update and read through F-listers' entries at some point. I'm hoping tomorrow with my two hour college break I can do. If I can't. I'll try and squeeze some of my free time lol ( Read more... )

I wasn't planning to do a poll, but here's a quick one:

Because I have a field trip yet this week on Saturday, I'll make a few quickie posts. I have to wake up extra early in the morning. Something I'm not happy about but I did it today lol ( Read more... )

I found two interesting articles a few moments ago on ditching friends and true friends.

I'm going to discuss the first article, regarding ditching friends. I don't think I have ever ditched people who I consider as friends. It's more like the drifting apart scenario; we don't talk anymore or we simply moved on. I think the friends who drifted apart ( Read more... )

I wanted to make a post about my week on Friday but I thought 'I cannot be bothered'. Last week was a week. Tomorrow it'll be a week since my dad left England, and I was kinda of thinking for a few days about the volanic ash. How is he going to come back home if the ash is going to disrupt flights? I have only talked to him once which was on a ( Read more... )

I saw this in the Daily Mail the other day, but I'm using the Telegraph (since the article is shorter):

Average Briton 'has only three true friends'
The average Briton has 22 "mates" but only three true friends, a survey indicated.

Perhaps surprisingly, three quarters of people say that a family member is one of their closest friends.

The study also ( Read more... )

With the printergate issue behind me, I finally worked my dad's printer - and it's much better than the one downstairs, but the weird thing is that it prints the last pages of things. Weird. Anyway, I printed out some useful information for my book as information and research packs. I know some writers have methods of doing certain research but ( Read more... )
