Dawning of a Decade

Happy new year! Sorry I haven't posted much recently - but I've been as busy as a suicide hotline just after the release of another vile installment to the sickening twisted cult that we have come to know as"High school musical"...and believe me...that's pretty busy!

So, here we are - 2009 is over, and 2010 is now sitting on my desk, waiting for me to get stuck in - and it's already shaping up to be an amazing year. I've not talked to you recently, so let me bring you back up to speed. Remember "Operation for Awesome"? - my application to uni? Well, I've done it!

I was sitting alone in my room one quite November evening when an email landed on my desk. I opened it. It said to check UCAS. Naturally, when a non-descript letter arrives at my desk - without hesitation, I follow its instructions without deviation - and it's never gone wrong (albeit no longer being allowed anywhere near farms, the elderly, or the Cayman Islands). All of a sudden - my heart rate doubled when I found that my application to my first choice university had been accepted, sending me into a hyper state in which I ran around the house like a 6'1'' pinball for about 2 months straight.

After that, I was quite content that 09' couldn't get any better. Oh, how wrong I was. Little did I know, 09' was about to go from "good" to "Amazing".

You see, for a little while now - there has been this stunning young lady in my life - in which up to recently, I was far to nervous about asking out. However, on the 21st of December, just as the year was getting it's coat ready to leave us being propelled head first into the new decade, I finally took my chance - and asked her out. She said yes! All I could do is sit there - grin like a complete pillock, and feel my heart rate go from "pretty quick" to "Captin' - it's gonna blow!". In short, she is nothing less than amazing - and I am incredibly lucky to be have her as my girlfreind.

So here we are, standing nervously in the doorway of the next decade...so what are we waiting for? Shall we go in? (Please wipe your feet on the way in - I want no trace of the 'naughties' decade on the carpet.)

I'll try and update my blog one a week, Fridays as of now. But that's a "try". Odds are I will be distracted by the blinking light on my computer, and will sit in a semi-hypnotic state for hours, and thusly not post again for another year or so. But I'll try to.

Check back soon!

Peace.

PS. University life can be expensive. I advise winning the lottery first.
