Okies, so I thought it was time for an update, though not much to report.
As it’s almost Uni time, it’s been a busy few days sorting through all my stuff. I’m de-cluttering all my stuff, which for me who keeps almost everything, was pretty hard. I mean, I had to get rid of things I’ve kept purely for sentimental reasons, like doodles that my best friend drew for me before I moved, birthday cards, and random files of crap that I keep. I found some pretty depressing stuff, though some poetry I wrote a few years ago had me crying with laughter at how bad it was. Pretty Tragic.
Going through all my stuff, I realised that I had somehow chronicled my years as a teenager in a pretty strange way. A collection of diaries that are pretty full to begin with, choc-a-block with ideas, wishes, memories. However, about 4 months in there’s just a ‘Went Out’, or ‘Homework Due’.
I went through all my photos, some containing what are now bittersweet memories. Gifts given to me by friends who I was no longer in touch with.
It got me to thinking, after all the pledges of friendship that seemed to happen, it all seems to be falling apart (like Bismarck’s policies). Friends from primary schools in Germany, Northern Ireland and Wales; friends from secondary school who I stopped being close to due to me moving from Wales after my second year. I can’t help from feeling sad at the fact that a friendship with some brilliant people is now reduced to meeting at mutual friend’s parties and random all together get-togethers.
Even now, a few people who I was pretty close to in 6th form are now, slowly disappearing, speaking only through Facebook etc.
Anyways, now this post is getting a little too long and a bit depressing so I will go look at My Milk Toof blog, with ickle and Lardee which should cheer me up :P
