So I have now completely deserted this blog (a post once a year doesn't really count does it).
If anyone still cares (or remembers who I am!)then you might want to know that I completed the Access course and am ready to start uni in September. I'm gonna be studying Biomedical Science at Anglia Ruskin Cambridge and am really looking forward to it!
My health is pretty close to that of an average person, which is obviously a massive improvement to my life.
Anyway if any of you do want to get back in touch I've finally joined facebook (http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=100000217351918).

I realise that I've not been doing all that well on the posting front (It's almost a year since I posted saying that I would post more regularly(!)) but on the positive side of things my life is just about to start get back on track after a mere three years delay!
I start a one year college course (Access to Science)on Monday and if all goes well I should be starting on the University course that I have always wanted to do (Biomedical Science Hons) in just a years time.
I really am excited and confident that this will be it now. I'm not delusional though, I know there is always a chance that I could have another set back and have to delay my plans but I do know that I have a better chance now than I ever have before.
Of course my health isn't perfect but it is close enough to 'normal'-person-standard that the difference it makes to my daily life is insignificant compared to the past.
I still get way more throat infections/colds/general viruses than the average person but these are all live-able things. I am now longer in any serious pain and my levels of physical activity have increased significantly (I go for an hours walk most days) without my fatigue kicking in unless I push myself.
Generally speaking I am a lot happier and positive than I was before and just feel better in myself.
This post was a bit longer than I planned it to be - apologises for waffling - and I'm not going to make any promises about posting in the future but I'm sure I will at some point :)

I realise I've been kind of deserting my journal and I haven't checked anyone elses in ages; hopefully I'll catch up in the next week or so.
Well, my life hasn't really changed all that much. Although I am now having Biology lessons once a week so I should be able to take at least one exam in the summer, while all my friends take their final A2 exams, wich is a bit weird.
Also (after being on the waiting list for over a year) I've had three appointments with the ME specialist and physiotherapist and it seems to be working - my physical health is slowly improving. Though it also means that my mum's got professionals agreeing with her that I expect too much from myself.
Hope everyones okay x

Am ill.
Really heavy cold - which with my CFS means I feel like shit.
My mum is trying to convince me that it's hayfever. It's not.
Anyway, doesn't really matter what it is.
What does matter is that I'm missing college.
I really wanted to keep my attendance up, especially for this half term.
But now I'll be playing catch up right from the start.

I really need to start typing in paragraphs.

You know what.
I'm really liking school.
It makes me realise that I am actually capable of seeing all of 'this' through.
And that academically I haven't gone as down hill as I thought.
It also makes me realise just how bad I was health wise last year, seriously couldn't get out of bed without considerable pain.
Mentally I'm just much more optimistic and happy. Feels great.
Today I happened to bump into Louise who did taught me at home when I was too ill to go to school in my GCSE year. She commented on how healthy and smiley I was. :)
My sister's got one of them real-life dolls this weekend, so I am obviously going to be seeking refuge at my Dad's house.
This scares me. Really hope he'll be okay.

So today was my first day back at school (well Sixth Form but it's the same place), everything went fine and I didn't really have to do much as it turned out.
So my worrying was for nothing (I realised that I'd made a mistake on my application form plus a couple of other issues)! Of course when I said this to Mum she went into this whole speech about the fact that I hadn't mentioned any of my worries to her. You know, 'It's not healthy to keep stuff bottled up' etc.
The fact that it really wasn't a big thing and I realised that I could probably sort it all out by myself didn't seem to register. I think it might have been the case that it was just a general speech that she wanted to say to me anyway. *shrugs*
I seriously can't remember a time when I've actually been looking forward to going back to school!
If nothing else it will be nice to see my friends again on a daily basis - even if none of them are in my year.
My head of year has giving me the next two days off, because they're going to be going to Uni and stuff which I did last year. My actual lessons start on Friday and I've already been given text books on all my subjects, so I presume they want me to some work?

How brilliant is a water fight on a day like this?
Except me and my sister being the people that we are, we don't think of having one until the sun has officially gone down :)
But it was still fun, though my mum's currently none to happy since she was still in her school uniform and only thought of changing after literally sitting in the water.
And to think I criticised Becky when she first got the pool - it's 18 foot long!
It really brightened my mood as well, so much so that even the sight of Rebecca, walking round in just a towel and bra with her completely flat stomach on show, isn't effecting me. Not that my stomach is exactly huge, - I'm a UK size 10 - it's just that she's so slim and thinks nothing of making fat jokes at my expense. :( Doesn't help that my mum is even smaller than her - though she's a freak and will proudly show anyone that her stomach actually wobbles (for the first time in her life!).
So yeah, for the first time in a while I'm genuinely happy!
And I'm close to sorting out my re-entry into my AS course next year!
Life is currently good, I just hope it stays that way.

Sorry I've been absent for so long.
I've been in a weird kind of mood lately, ie I've been sick with a bit of depression mixed in just to add flavour.
Which was...fun :-)
I promise that I am going to try and go through my flist.
Just so this doesn't turn into a long and grotesque self-pitying entry, I'll add an example of my general silliness/stupidity that my sister and mum seemed to find amusing.
( which isn't really that amusing an anecdote )

Christ, I'm getting so sick of the anti-England posts on ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) c_ronaldo_fans.
Can you imagine the reaction if I did an anti-Portugal post?

She's only gone and won the damn thing!!!!!!
She won,
She won,
She won,
SHE WON!!!!!!!
*does happy dance*
According to this awards thing (link to site), my MUM is the manager of the best charity!
Lil' old BDVC whooped their arses! *g*
She really didn't expect to win!
DIAL have won it every year for god knows how long - apparently exclusive employment of disabled people is a BIG plus, even though I think that it's discrimination against non-disabled. But, anyway THEY LOST!!
hehe.
Just to give you a little sales pitch :)
BDVC(Basildon District Volunteer Carers): is mainly a charity that provides transport for people that can't use public transport for whatever reason, like; old people, people with disabilities, teenage mothers etc. It also provides shopping escorts for people that can't go to the supermarket alone (and just want a bit of company in some cases) and toe-nail cutting for the elderly (which may not be the nicest sounding job in the world but I am reliable informed that it is a vital necessity for those that find it impossible to bend over).
My mum was originally the book-keeper (doing the salaries and accounts etc) but then became the manager. I think, I'm right in saying she's the boss though because it's a charity there's a board of trustee's and stuff so I'm not entirely sure :)
Did I mention that SHE WON!
Reason number two for being happy: Pete on Jonathon Ross!
I thought he came off really well, and dare I say it, sober?
His voice sounded good as well.
So, yeah.
*continues to do happy dance*

British commentators being pro-French?
It feels really...weird.
I'm still not sure who I'm going to support. I want to support Portugal because I started this competition supporting them but I just...can't. And it's not just to do with me being English, it has a lot to do with the diving and stuff like that.
*shrugs*
Guess I'll just support the team that plays the best.
EDIT: Wow. There can't be that many English supporters in the crowd, can there?
EDIT2: Well, I did end up supporting Portugal in the end. Which involved a lot of crossed fingers and gritted teeth. Crossed fingers, that they would somehow get a goal and gritted teeth, for every time one of them decided to take a flying tumble.
I thought Cris played well though?
Especially considering the reaction from the crowd. I guess he'll have to get used to it if he is going to return to Man U.

How brilliant is this?
"Hints on pronunciation for foreigners" by T. S. W.
I take it you already know
of tough and bough and cough and dough.
Others may stumble, but not you,
On hiccough, thorough, lough** and through.
Well done! And now you wish, perhaps,
To learn of less familiar traps.
Beware of heard, a dreadful word
That looks like beard and sounds like bird.
And dead-it's said like bed, not bead.
For goodness sake, don't call it deed!
Watch out for meat and great and threat.
They rhyme with suite and straight and debt.
A moth is not a moth in mother,
Nor both in bother, broth in brother,
And here is not a match for there,
Nor dear and fear for pear and bear.
And then there's dose and rose and lose
Just look them up--and goose and choose.
And cork and work and card and ward.
And font and front and word and sword.
And do and go, then thwart and cart.
Come, come I've hardly made a start.
A dreadful language? Man alive,
I'd mastered it when I was five!
Makes you realise how random a language it is :)

Teenage Angst by Placebo |

Wow, after reading this (especially the comments at the end) my sympathy for anyone having to listen to it just went up majorly.
I mean I'd already got the message that it was bad but that's just laughable.
Particularly the commentators comments defending himself;
“There’s kind of a petulant little clique of soccer fans. There’s not many of them, but they’re mean-spirited. … And they’re not really the audience we want to reach anyway.”
Maybe I'm just missreading this but when you're commentating on a football match why wouldn't you want to cater for football fans?
