Rain Or Shine?

One For The Book.

"I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element.
It is my personal approach that creates the climate.
It is my daily mood that makes the weather.
I possess the tremendous power to make a life miserable or joyous.
I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration.
I can humiliate or humour, hurt or heal.
In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a person humanized or de-humanized.
If we treat people as they are, we make them worse.
If we treat people as they ought to be, we can help them become what they are capable of being."


Goethe.

Long Time No Note

Tasting The Tracks.


Really need to remember to update once a week or so not every couple of months. Anyway, a fair number of things have occurred since I last wrote. Danny broke up with me for the third or fourth time, on the day of my friends funeral, which I didn't think was very fair, but we've sorted everything out now and we're being civil which is always good. He broke up with me because he thought I was doing things with other people, which I didn't and would never do, but maybe it was for the best because he can go travelling now, there's nothing stopping him which makes me happy. 
      I've started driving lessons, I've had ten so far, and I'm still terrible. They're so expensive too! £210 for ten lessons! Haven't had one in about two weeks due to my funds, but I WILL carry on with them eventually. I'm tempted to just get a bike, plus the insurance on them is much cheaper.
   Oh oh and i went to Reading Festival, which was awesome! Saw some amazing bands: Foo Fighters, Scroobius Pip, Paramore, Foster The People, Kasabian, The Cure, The Black Keys, Enter Shikari, Bullet For My Valentine, the list goes on. Bought about six pairs of glasses and also lost six pairs of glasses, and various other things which was to be expected, although I did buy a top hat and didn't loose it! Met some awesome people too, me and my friend Brett met these two guys, Sean and Kristie, and watched Foster the People with them and had a really really good time with them. I decided to crowd surf when Enter Shikari played, and some advice for you girlies out there, you WILL feel dirty when you emerge, not the best of ideas if your female, worth it though. The problem with me is whenever I jump into a mosh pit  people feel the need to try and save me because i'm female and my small build, which can get irritating. Me and my friend borrowed my aunties tent and it turned out there were no tent poles for it so we had to buy another tent from Tesco's, oh and I was told that all of my alcohol was confiscated because it was in glass bottles (3 large bottles of vodka), so i bought the same amount again from Tesco's and put it into lemonade bottles, later finding out that they were only joking and I still had the alcohol, so I ended up having double the amount of vodka, it all got drank though, shared quite a bit of it.
     I've also been helping one of my friends (Gore) out, he became homeless about three weeks ago, I gave him some money, food, clothes, let him stay here for a little while and got him into a hostel, and he's now in the process of finding a flat, which seems to be going quite well as far as i know.
    I've been in Weymouth for a week visiting Sean (Shaun) and just came home today, around seven hours on the train really does drain your energy, was worth it though. Met some really cool people, drank quite a bit, same old story, the night life there is pretty good, people seem to be quite friendly too. Oh and they have lazers on the beach there which is pretty cool! Ate a LOT of chicken noodles, I can't complain though. 
   Ah yes and my grandad died, wasn't nice at all, kept strong for my family though, and tried to be there for everyone as much as i could but there's not a lot you can do when something like that happends. Turns out he had lung cancer and we only got told a couple of hours before he died, We had his funeral on his birthday. He was like the head of the family and its really bizarre without him. We played his favourite song at his funeral, Hotel California, and me and my sister Issy read something out. She struggled to read it a little but  fair play to her she carried on regardless. R.I.P Grandad :)

   Thought i would show you some of my artwork, these are quite old though, enjoy :).
