As you can see, I've been on a very,very long hiatus, I hold my hands up,  I started this with good intentions and had huge plans and I went and left everyone in the lurch, left this blog alone, neglected to wither in the dust of  blogs that have been, gone and made no mark or matter in the realm of social media.  To be frank, I started this whilst everything in my life was all over the place, they way I treated this page literally be an example of how I felt throughout the whole of last year and the year before.  

 So I took advice from my first post, I took things in moderation and decided to focus more on my work and studies, everything extra curricular had to go. If it didn't help towards my studies, or a distraction it went. (This is not moderation, this is overloading and shutting yourself from a basic human need of social interaction and the best form of therapy, company and laughter.) The guitar went, writing went, drawing went, it was just me,  uni, my best friend and alcohol. Sooner or later, the alcohol took over, now I'm not bragging about this, it's nothing to brag about, if you have problems, alcohol is not the answer. ( this however is a completely different blog post, which I will be talking about.)

 Although I spent a lot of the beginning year in an alcohol induced haze, I have met so many people who have continued to inspire and motivate me to keep going, people with massive ideas and huge talent, people who have become some of my closest friends. I found myself thinking amidst all these adventures 'I wish I could remember these.' True enough, after a weekend my best friend, let's call them Smurphette, would spend hours and hours hugging chinese takeaway and each other, trying not to fall off the face of the planet and remember, just what the hell did our alter ego's, the Drunken Duo get up to? We just couldn't remember.

  Over the year, I sobered up dramatically, I began socialising  and working at a doable rate. I found that I could still have these hilarious and amazing adventures and still remember them, that was when I started thinking 'I should write about this,' 'this should be in a blog.'  But with how well I kept this up last time, I swerved that Idea for a long while, until now. Now I had good intentions and real big plans, I gave myself pointers and did not keep them up last year, this year I have so far and will continue, so the guitar came back and now I have found I have time for to add another thing back in my life, so I chose to bring this back. 

Think of this as a little memoir by me. I've been told I give people good advice (not blowing my own horn,just saying' what others have said, don't shoot me) , I just never follow it, so it's probably time I start. Get out the celebratory bevs, la.
