You Are 68% Pure

Well, you're not exactly an angel - but you're pretty darn close. But chances are, you have a couple juicy secrets deep in your closet.

How Pure Are You?

Okay it has been some time since I last put an entry on this here blog, however that doesn't mean I have been writing elsewhere. So what does that mean? Was my life so full that I didn't have time to blog?? Nope.... unfortunately not.

I'm not sure why I left the sphere of blogging in the same way I'm not sure why I ever started or have returned to it once more. But here I am once again entering this realm and wondering if comments will be made or not. Whatever I'm happy to write for now.

So what have I been doing... against the advice of many I went skiing! Okay so it was back around Easter of this year (2007) and I could really have shared the news sooner but hey I didn't so deal with it. I'm quite sure the medication my Dr gave me before I left helped with the feeling that I was gliding across the snow more so than any ski could. I only fell twice, which as a complete novice I'm quite proud of.

I managed to do 2 blue runs, okay 1 1/2 (the half being our groups first major attempt at coming down a hill!) and it was on these I fell. My last fall was quite specatacular if I do say so myself. I discovered that I travelled much faster than the rest of the group and managed to overtake them all as we were traversing across a long downward run. With speed came panic, so I embarked upon the big pizza our instructor had drummed into us (for those who ski, that's a snow plough!) however it wasn't working and I didn't seem to be slowing down... So more panic, and having flashed looks around I noted deep snow to my right.

A turn to the right and I was ploughing through it, such straight plough lines any farmer would be proud. Then the inevitable happened, snow piled up in front of my ski's bringing me to a dead stop, my knees hyper extended and I went flying out of my ski bindings into a superman esk dive! Fantastic, if only I could have truly appreciated the sense of flying but alas know I landed face first into the snow.

I did get back up and continue the run, what a trooper I am, albeit a bit tentatively. When we went sightseeing in the afternoon, I had great pleasure in pointing out my plough lines and dive impression as we sailed over them in the cable car.

Having returned from skiing, life returned to its normal humdrum existence. Not much has changed really at home other than friction between the growing teenager and us the guardians trying to protect. Okay so its really a war zone. I'm at my wits end and can't see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Work became unbearable so having been pushed to the limit I quit and spent a few months wandering around doing nothing much. No I didn't have the incentive to write here and instead have whiled away time on my Xbox, attempted to get fitter (failed! again!).

Stoolball was played and umpired again, and this year's season seemed never to end due to the constant bad weather we got.

I applied for a job, didn't get it, but at least I got practice at an interview, my first in say 14 years, so at least it was an experience.

So what am I going to do now... Well having decided I needed a challenge I've just enrolled on a course at University and I'm about to embark upon an MA in Criminology. It's been at least 5 years since I've written any form of essay, and so I'm going to have to get back into the swing of things quickly.

The course is a year long, and appears quite intensive in some areas, but I'm sure I'll cope, I better as I'm paying for it. My first lecture/seminar is next Wednesday and I'm looking forward to it.

And that's my update for now. Not sure when I'll next post, it may be more often then again maybe not. I'll try my best.

Hope you are all having fun and enjoying life and if not do so, it is for living!
