Personal

...that I have been here for four years and have posted less than 1000 little gems.

I'm not going to promise that I'll stay around, because I won't. I'll disappear again and return some months later proclaiming my reappearance in a blog much like this one.

It is June, 2011. Four whole years since I found IS.

A lot has happened in four years. To put it roughly in perspective, in June, 2007, I was in year 10. Fourteen years old. I hadn't even started my GCSEs. Positively a child!

Now, I am eighteen. I have finished the sixth form, and ...

I have an exam this afternoon, and I'm trying to write a novel.

So, stop it.

I can't decide whether it's a curse or a blessing.

I'm all about the whole thing that every letter has a colour - it makes spelling very easy. Numbers, not so much. It makes maths difficult. It makes music difficult - I'm quite musical, you see, IS, and listening to music, it's quite colourful. However, as soon as I try to play a piece, once I know what key I'm hitting, the colour changes.

People are easier once they have a colour. I know where I am with them once ...

I don't want to cry in front of you,
She said as she pressed her fingers
Into the corners of her eyes
I don't like to cry in front of anybody
No matter how honest
Or genuine it may be

It's not that I don't like you
Or trust you
That's not the truth at all
I just think tears are a private thing
And not for public show

I talk to you
Because that is what you're for
I know nothing about you ...
