"The day a child realises that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent;
The day he forgives them he becomes an adult;
The day the child forgives himself, he becomes wise"

by Alden Nowlan

Hey guys! Been a while I know, so figured I'd give an update.

I have to move house again next week. As I am on my own now I need somewhere cheaper to rent, and I found somewhere in the town I am in now. So won't have the net again for a while. Just typical!

Anyway, I guess I didn't tell the whole story about my marriage break up, so will give a quick run down now. Things hadn't been right between me and Skit for quite a while, just neither of us really admit it. Then about 4 months ago I got back in touch with a very old friend of mine, a guy I have been friends with since I was 9 years old. We always were interested in each other, but it was never the right time. So anyway, we met up as friends But the more we met up, the more we realised we had feelings for each other. Now lets get one thing straight... Nothing happened between us, we stayed as friends but it made me think about the state of my marriage, and after much soul searching and talking with Skit it was decided to call it a day. It wasn't a bad break up, we are still friends, and he gave me and my friend his blessing if we want to start something.

And well, we have, and I am very, very happy. Its still early days, and we are taking things slowly, but its going great. The effect its had on me is noticable. everyone tells me how happy I look, how different my behaviour is, and I am loosing weight and getting healthy. Its a whole new me

Anyway, got to go now. See you guys around

Another one closes.

Just a quick update, still have no net but I can use mum and dads for now.

Move went fine, its a great house and I love being back in Bentham.

Sadly it looks like it might be times up for Skit and me. Its hard to accept but things just arn't working out so in a few weeks we may be seperating, at least for a little while. Its a mutual choice, we just arn't the people we once were.

Anyway, more later, just thought I'd let youkow I am still alive.

I've stopped rushing around like a blue arsed fly for a while, so time to update this journal.

On the 1st Aug I am moving to a new place with Skit. Its not the house we went to see, that didn't work out, but the one we did get is even better! Its a 200 year old 2 bedroomed cottage, with really low cielings and a wood burning stove. Oh, its great, and so pretty! I am sure I will find it very inspirational. However the stairs are wooden and quite steep so i may end up killing myself on them if I drink too much.

So its all change, which I am looking forward to. It can be a whole new start.

Amd feeling a little melancholy, but thats something i wont go into

Well, due to all the shit that happened with Scotts sacking from work and the worsening of his condition due to stress, and the knock on effect with me, it seems pretty certain we will be losing the house as we are behind in our mortgage payments, and despite being assured that we would be able to work something out with the mortgage company they have told us we have to pay and extra £140 on top of our existing payments or thats it. Now we can afford our payments now, but not the extra £140. Unless we don't eat which isn't really an option. So the eviction process will start in a motnh, and in three months we would find ourselves homeless.

However there is another option. We find somewhere to live A.S.A.P, and send the mortgage company the keys to the house, its called Vacant Possession.

Now like I said, I know I should be more upset than this, and don't get me wrong, I do feel like something of a failure for this, my perfect brother and sister have NEVER lost a house, and I just know I will get bitched out by my sister at least for this. However, on monday we are going to look at a 3 bedroomed house in High Bentham (my home town where I grew up) that we can rent. And I am actually looking forward to it. See, this place stopped feeling like home to me once the asshole neighbors started ruining things with the abuse and stuff. Home is where you feel safe, not where you feel a prisoner because THEY might be outside with their stupid freinds. A new start is just what we need, Scott and I go back to Bentham on a regular basis already, and Scott is amazed how people accept him there. He isn't used to to total starmgers greeting him like a long lost friend and talking to him, he is used to people calling him a freak and trying to start trouble. Plus there is the whole mental health support group "Looking Well" in Bentham that he can be part of.

So here is me, looking on the positive side for a change. Woo, go me!

"The day a child realises that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent;

So a week ago I decided to get the book Twilight by Stephanie Meyer to see what all the fuss was about. It seems to be one of those books where you either love of it or hate it.

***DISCLAIMER!!!! This is my opinion, and mine alone. If you disgaree with anything I say then thats fine, we are all different people. I repsect your views, so please respect mine in return and don't flame me over anything!

I liked the cover. The pale hands holding an red apple, very symbolic

I have to say within the first 5 or 10 pages, I already had a bit of a dislike for Bella Swan. I don't know why, but the whole thing about her moving to Forks smacked of self pity and matrydom. But hey, she is meant to be a teenager so I guess its normal. But throughout the book I just couldn't help but feel she is somehow... Oh well, I don't know, but there is so little detail about her its hard to find anything likeable about her. The only concrete information you get about her is she likes reading, and things like Sense and Sensability. I enjoy books that build up personalities for the characters, and I found it sadly lacking in Bella's case. How can I feel for a character I barely know?

On to Edward. Hmmm, a sexy vampire, can't really go wrong there can you. Well, maybe just a little. I have always prefered the "Vamp and loving it" types to the "tortured monster" types. Its one reason I am not an Anne Rice fan. The whole thing about him warning Bella every 5 seconds how dangerous he is just got annoying for me after a while. Ok, we GOT it already!!! But I liked the quirks he had, like driving fast A speeding vampire, lol! Edward seems a little TOO perfect though. And I have to say he comes across as quite stalkerish. If I had been Bella and found out he had been watching me every night I'd have freaked the fuck out, not think its sweet! But I am the girl who finds Sting's "Every Step You Take" sinister.

The whole thing about her moving to Forks, then the courtship was a tad slow for my liking, a bit too muich filler, but when the action with the other vampires kicked off thats when I feel the book got a lot better. Perosnally I'd have had more Cullen action in the book, I think Alice is great, lets see more Alice!

Anyway, on the whole its not a bad book, but I have read much better. It certainly filled an afternoon, and I have had worse afternoons The characters need improvement, but its a first book, so there is hope. I am certainly going to pick up the others in the series before passing further judgement.
