well its been a weekend and a half...

I gave myself the weekend off last weekend... and oh boy did i have fun...



I meantioned a few posted ago that once again i won tickets to see a band... the band in question was YOURCODENAMEIS:milo...

And after an unusual start... the gig was great... albeit shorter than i would have liked... i cant really complain as it was free! The unusual start was the fact there was hardly anyone there at the start... all of about 10 people watched the first warm up act (who decided the best way to play was with their backs to the audience...!) and then only about 25 watched the second warm up band... but after a surreal moment or 3, YCNI:M came on and sure enough there were a few more and so em and i were able to stand at the front without fear or shame that we were the only ones!



However this was only the start of our weekend adventure... as we then dashed over the bridge to make it out by 11:30 for a lil bit of a d.a.n.c.e.... and the night was good!... while the music wasnt quite as happening or to my taste as i would have liked at times... the company was great... and that is what really matters...

I right now i lift my diet coke to a new friend Andy... who has to be the most excitable guy on a night out i have ever met.... the quote of the night... 'wow its chippy lane, i cant believe its chippy lane, we have to eat chips' quickly followed by 'wow look at all the rubbish... its amazing!'.... Hope london is good to you Andy... and look forward to your next visit!

So my friends, the fun took a brief pause for a sleep to then be followed by an amazing roast dinner between 6 people, and then a walk and a boating outing on Roath Lake, Cardiff... it could have been make or break time as we fort how to row the boat.... but to much funniness... we did good... no sinkage and only a lil wetness...

But back to realilty with a bump... and how i have a very high amount of work i need to do... roll on the 9th of june... when this section of my life will be over and i WILL be a youth worker- i will have my own bit of paper to prove it and everything!

LISTENING TO- lily allen, knock 'em out

not sure what it means....

So yesterday saw me buy something i never thought i would buy and i am still not sure why i did buy... other than it had that lovely four letter word... sale writen on it and thus was cheap...

i am now the owner of a webcam...

This is a picture of me trying to be happy about the fact i can sit at my own computer and look at myself without going to the bathroom and looking at the mirror... or indeed, let anyone else see me with no make up whenever they are online and in my msn good books...

I know i am vain, many a time has my dad sung at my 'your so vain' from across a room when he catches me looking in a mirror for the millionth time... but has this taken it a lil far... i can video myself type... work... and bore myself with trying to smile continually while others watch me during a conversation...

But is this a chance to bring more of a reality to my online life... i try to put as many pictures as i can when i blog... but i have made sure they are the nice ones i like... with a webcam i have to allow the watcher to see my double chin (its only there when i tilt my head down honest!) or the fact i havent done my make up today... well i dont have to allow it... but if someone spoke to me right now that its what they would get.

I have huge issues with online life... the fact we can play at making up the best bits of ourselves and trying to cut and paste out the bits we dont like... it has cost me a lot in the past... and yet i am still here... is it my quest to be as real as possible... in the hope others will do the same??

How can we be 100% honest online? I dont know anyone who wants to point out their faults... but life isnt as simple... if the internet is really becoming a part of our lives, should be ask what do we project about oursleves both in real life and online... not only should we ask do these match up... but what are we missing out or avoiding? We can hide things from ourselves in real life... shouldnt the challenge be to make sure we are realistic in ALL areas of life...

Who are we?
