It is often said that I am not a seventeen year old teenager of “the norm” because of the hobbies and interests I hold close to me. I do not like modern music or the modern teenage lifestyle. Pub crawling, clubbing, dancing, it’s just not me. I am not into keeping with the latest fashions or watching the popular programs. Sometime ago I realised ( Read more... )

Due to my utter lack of social skill, I am not usually one to kick up a fuss if a company is at fault towards me. Say they gave me the incorrect change in a shop, I wouldn’t go back and demand my money. Or if an item was faulty, I would probably put it to one side and forget its existence. Although, in these recent circumstances, my thoughts on the ( Read more... )

Recently being advertised is the new series of Being Human, formally one of my favourite television shows. I loved it because there were three main characters who had great chemistry. Annie, the troubled ghost, George, the self-concious werewolf and Mitchell, the womanising vampire. Now I loved this show (so much so that I wrote three stories about ( Read more... )

If I am honest, I was sick of people asking me over and over because I was never sure of the response I would ( Read more... )

All my posts at this current time tend to sound down and depressing, or overall lacking in a jolly feel. However, for a while now I have been struggling to write anything at all. I couldn't count the amount of times I've clicked on the "Post to Journal" button, sat there for a long while and then just walked away from the computer. I honestly do ( Read more... )

Social Anxiety Disorder

(Social Phobia)
Every person on this planet has at some point in their life suffered from Social Anxiety, as it is the most common anxiety disorder in the world. It happens on a day to day basis, in working life and outside. Meeting new people, feeling nervous about standing in front of a group of people to do a presentation, ( Read more... )

"You create your own universe as you go along."
- Winston Churchill
  I find it amazing how one choice in life can change your life forever. How it can effect more than one person, when you only want it to effect yourself. I watch my nephew run around, entertaining himself by simply pushing around a toy car. Getting upset when it is too late to play ( Read more... )

"In a land of myth and a time of magic, the destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young boy. His name...Merlin."

As said in my previous post, Merlin starts on the 1st October at 7:50pm. It feels more than a year since the last series, except it has only been a year since we saw Merlin, Arthur, Guinevere and Gaius grace our saturday ( Read more... )
