You know how we do.

'Sometimes when you think lifes going all swimmingly, it will jump right up and kick you in the teeth. Its times like these you realise how much you need your friends.'
- Joanna Murphy

I've had a really good Christmas. Its been perfectly balanced. With the usual trips to varius houses of the family that i havent seen for years and days shopping with my nearest and dearest. One trip in particular resulted in me and Delphine, Aka Sophie Pix to the power of 6, trecking around the Christmas crowds with number extra large gift bags. We simply couldnt control ourselves when we looked at eachother; piled up high with huge bags filled with clothes and festive items.
That was before the long anticipated 25th day of the 12th month. Since then, i have done nothing but lie in bed all day - Lost series 3 box set playing atmospherically in the background and my brand new laptop on, well, my lap. My days spent like that and my nights spent out, being social.. meeting new people and going to new places having new types of fun in new situations. Reminds me of a classis Yellowcard song which i will do the honor of quoting; Sleeping all day staying up all night. That sums it up really..
But dont get me wrong here, the old faithful traditions and people have remained, i have much enjoyed paying visits to old friends and taking advantage of the human instinct to offer left over Christmas food to anything with a heart beat. But at this time of year, for the first time in a long while, i have made the most of being in demand.
The one and only downfall of Jesus' Birthday this year is the abcense of the infamous Delphine, it seems the Scottish folk up in the highlands had the pleasure of her company this year.





I am going to blog more often now. I have no reason not to as i am not as popular as i would perhaps like to be. But..
Thats all for now. Partially because i have momentarily been informed i am to attend a 21st birthday bash in approx ten minutes and as i have previously mentioned.. my days have been little cause to get dressed. If you excuse me, i am dissmissing myself to the bathroom to try to make myself look somewhat presentable..

A New Enemy

I woke up this morning fifteen minutes before my alarm. It was set to go off at 8.45, that way i had time to wash my hair, get ready and still have time to tidy up after the three teenage girls i had strewn in merciless positions across my conservatory sofa.

If i woke up a whole quarter of an hour earlier than i needed to, why on school mornings do i crave that extra ten minutes in bed?
Why in the winter months do i crave the summer holidays, if as soon as it gets hot i start getting ridiculously excited for Christmas?
Why do i continually allow myself to become distracted, then stress about being late and not organised enough?

I decided something.
I have decided that there is truth in the phrase 'You are your own worst enemy.'
I figured that everything that i am as a person, is completely unique to me.
If i met someone who had the same personality and habbits as me, i would absolutely despise them.
Dont worry, i'm not starting with the i hate my life act. Because i dont. And i'm not going to tell you that i hate myself, because i most certainly do not. I'm simply saying that due to the fact you are constantly in contact with yourself and your somewhat irreplaceable ways, you grow to dislike the way you do things.
That isnt a bad thing, yet, i dont think it is good either.
Its a fact of life.
We annoy ourselves because each characteristic we own is personal and distinctive, causing others to either like it or dislike it. If you live with something for too long you become bored. Therefore as human beings, one of the only species in existance that physically and mentally requires change as an essential part of development, we generally start to become our own worst enemies, purely because we are stuck with ourselves, something we cannot escape or change.
