...and we begin

Let's Get Started

I would like to consider myself a good friend. For the first 25 years of my life I have been confided in, I have listened, I have give the appropriate responses, I've been thoughtful and not given my blunt and honest opinion, I've been very aware of "the real issues" and not just the problem I've been presented with, I've kept secrets and I have been a good friend! So, I can hear you yell...

What's wrong with that?

Well, you would be right to ask! After 25 years of keeping my opinions to myself I've decided to share them with the world. Have you ever felt like someones life is getting so ridiculously out of control you might explode if they tell you one more unbelievable story and you just have to nod, be patient and give some good (yet not always 100% honest) advice?

Just lately I've found myself becoming inpatient with my friends and to be honest I would really rather not. I love my friends to pieces and I don't want to get annoyed with them because I definitely get that it is so much easier to give advice than take it...but come on girls, how many times will you let him cheat on you (etc etc)??

I'm hoping that being able to share the secrets of their lives with you will stop me from being irritated by my the lovely ladies - friends shouldn't be irritating! On the other hand, maybe it's just me, maybe I'm just becoming intolerant in my old age - we'll see!

My 2nd reason for this blog

I already have an un-anonymous blog somewhere else but it's sort of topic related and recently I've found it a bit difficult to blog there as I can't really blog off topic - well, I know I can, but there's something stopping me! That something could be the fact that my parents & friends do occasionally stop by there to check-in!

Since reaching quarter of a century I've become a bit nostalgic...yes,it's true, I have in fact squeezed a lot of 'stuff' into those first 25 years of my life and I really wish I'd been introduced to blogging when I was about 14! It would've made for interesting reading for the 25 year-old me!

I digress - So anyway, whenever my friends and I actually get to meet up the one thing you can guarantee we end up talking about is the past, boys, school, uni, jobs, boys, boys, bla, bla and bla. It's always the same, yet every time we remember something new! So, when I have no secrets / whinges for you I shall be delving into my own personal archives for something juicy for you. I am a little concerned because we were a bit of a bad crowd when it came to some things...but for us it was all harmless (I actually laughed out loud when I wrote that) fun and we loved every minute.

I endeavour to not regret a single word I write (unless it's a typo from my sometimes dyslexic fingers) and if something offends you I would encourage you to either give me a second chance, to redeem myself, or avert your eyes and find another fantastic blog to read.

Over and out for now.
