I know you probably don't perceive me properly judging by the content of my bio... it's brash and abrasive and on the whole not really me.

I'd love to offer you all my sincerity, but experience has taught me that it's not a smart move to be trusting from the word 'go'.

I'd love to care about you, but realistically would you care about me; send me at least one message a day asking how I was, what I'd been up to, etc? Ask me if I wanted to talk about it, and give me your advice?

I'd love to tell the world my life story just to make sure you'd know I was real, but there are some memories that I want to keep myself, and some impulses that compell me to feel masked and fake.

I guess at the end of the day you'll leave this house in search of another one, and might reflect upon what you've read for maybe a single moment, and forget all about me. Au contraire, you might reflect upon what you've read so much that you'll send me a message, whether positive or negative, and will wait for a response.

Just a note for those who would, no doubt, feel the urge to send negative messages: don't forget that there are fingertips made of human tissue, bone and blood typing the words you see before you. Nothing's automated. Nothing's planned prior to submission. So if you really can't stand something about me, stop yourself and ask a question about the thing you want to flame me about. Perhaps the answer you'll get will transform your hate into admiration (for lack of a less egocentric word... apologies).

Just think.

I think it's extremely hilarious that there's a 20 year old woman in my class who is basically trying to split up my boyfriend and I... ¬_______¬

Do you get the impression that she's either incredibly stupid or incredibly bored?

I think both. She clearly doesn't have the capacity to act her age, which is rather ironic since I think everyone gets the idea that there's plenty of empty space between her ears.

If she had a brain cell she'd be dangerous.

Glorified sluts are funny, especially when they're thicker than I am not.

Ahhhh life is good ^__________________^

Images of Betwys y Coed, North Wales.
Please note that I did not take these photos myself. I purposely put them here for someone to take a look at. They've been pulled from www.where-can-i-find.com . Any problems? Message me.




I walked along the entire length of the river... I fell in the shallow part fully clothed in front of everyone... dipstick...




Swallow Falls; my favourite part. I hiked to the top and drank the water from its spring.

I'm not feeling too well right now. Maybe I'm just a little emotional because I'm due on. Or maybe it's just me being whiney.

I hate this town. I wish I could take everyone that matters to me back to Wales and be in the countryside again. I've lived here not so far short of a decade and I still hate it. Concrete, asphalt, traffic jams, an orange glow at night... it's awful. It's too suburban for my liking. It's an in-between that has no balance. There's no space, there's no peace, there's no quiet, there's no calm, there's no serenity... car alarms, children screeching, the rumble of freight lorries... ugh... I don't feel like myself in this place. I miss my home so much. I miss the village where I grew up, I miss my garden, the farms and open fields, I miss my old room... I miss everything.

But if I'd never moved here I wouldn't have met [Xaero]. I guess I could say that it was just part of my destiny to leave and move here. I don't regret being with him at all. He's the reason why I don't wish I could turn back time, because leaving the past the way it is means we are the way we are.

But I think of Dad and it all changes. Wales reminds me of him. I don't remember all of the bad things my Mum does. I know he didn't support us properly and he wasted his money on booze. I know that he told the woman he was seeing that the only reason he married my mother was because I needed a surname. But I never witnessed these things directly. It hurts like hell, because he's my Dad, and though I hate to admit I loved him, I did. I'm not sure if I still do. It's probably more of a contemptuous love.

I need to shut up. What's done is done.

*sigh*

But I just can't let it go. I haven't seen him for almost half of my life. I'm nearly 17. He hasn't been with me for my 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th or 16th birthdays... and he won't be here for this one. He's got a different life altogether. He lives in south New Zealand with that woman, and two kids, of which only one I've ever met. Worst of all he has another daughter. Felicity. I've never even seen a picture of her. The reason he wanted me was because his mate Egrin told him his wife had given birth to a baby girl, and so he came home from the pub, and said to my mum 'we should go for it'... and they did. I came along. And then he went away when I was about 8. And I feel totally fatherless.

It's as if he's died and I've never properly grieved. But I know he's still alive somewhere, but we never keep in touch. I don't have that much to say to him. He's not a strong enough father to say anything to me.

I feel very lonely.

T= Well you'd complain if they did.
M= Send them home! Give the money to OUR people! They can go elsewhere! We've got too many foreigners as it is!
T= What like you?
*Michael sinks down in his seat and sulks*
C= Ye best park yer backside, Blair, else ye'll be gettin a caber tossed at yer head!

C= Eh wait a second! Don't you call me a carrot top, ye stuped cockneh!
T= Oooh Charlie, Charlie you can't say that, it's not politically correct. Call him a Southern Londoner.
M= Oh give it a rest you stupid git! You can't take the tax payer's money to go and play games in Scotland! Are you really that retarded!?
T= PC, Michael, PC... can't say that word.
M= Oh yeah? Who are you to stop me?
T= Oh didn't you know? I'm ruler of this country so I can stop anyone and anything from doing stuff.
C= Ehhh... you're only Prime Minister, yer not king or emperor or summat...
T= Lmao! Oh Charlie old boy, but I am!!
C= YER WANT A PIECE OF ME!?!
MS= OI! No fighting in Parliament. Hang on; I'll be back in a minute lads.
M= Where the hell are you going!?
MS= To Ladbrokes. I want to put fifty on Charles. Don't start till I come back.
*Madam Speaker scurries off with her purse*
T= Oh you're such a lark, Charlie! You really are. It's all too obvious why you didn't win the Election.
M= Now you're going to bitch about him when the only reason you got voted in was because you were a default option??
T= No I was not! Who told you that? Was it Gordon!? It was JACK wasn't it!? They're both after my job, you know!
MS= I'm baaaack! Right, go on Charles! Beat that motherfucker!

T= You can't say THAT!
MS= Hush up, Blair. Go on, Charlie! Kick his arse!
C= Err, yeh... right... erm... COME ON THEN, YE WEASEL, GET WHAT'S COMIN TO YEH!!
*Charles runs down the steps of the aisles and grabs the big gold sceptre off the big wooden desk thing in the middle of the floor, and proceeds to whallop Tony*
M= Where the hell's he trying to run off to!?
*Tony runs to the backbenches and talks to someone on his phone whilst Charles chases after him*
T= Haha! You're -ooooph!!- in for it now, mate!
C= OH YEH??? BRING IT, YE POMPOUS, GOOFEH TOOTH BASTAAAARD!
*SUDDENLY the doors of Parliament are flung open, and who should be standing there but GEORGE DUBYAH BUSH!*
T= Told you that you were done for!
B= What seems to be the problem, Tony?
T= It's Charlie, George, he's claiming he'll beat me up!
*Bush steps up to Charles and looks him up and down*
B= Son, do you know that you look like the spittin' image of a guy the FBI hunted down on suspicion of being a member of Al Qaeda?

C= A SCEPTRE, yeh stupid yank!
T= PC, CHARLES, PC!!
C= SHUT YER TRAP, YUU!
B= I shall have to take drastic measures. I must fight the war on terror and defeat the enemy. Come on boys, it's off to Scotland.

Remember that there's a reason why you have a conscience: it's there for you to use it. Guide your judgements by your true gut instincts. Be honest with yourself. Don't pretend there will never be consequences. Don't cheat yourself by saying it doesn't matter. Think about what you're doing; the people you may hurt, the spirits you may break; the happiness you may plunder.
