I can’t believe it’s been 5 years since I last did a post about resolutions. And FYI, the last lot didn’t go that well, apart from getting a Distinction in my Masters. So this year’s resolutions are: Clear the fields: I’m getting really fed up of all the mess taking […]
friends
Emma Griffin’s birthday has appeared on my Facebook news feed today. 25 years old today. Except she died last week. Took her own life. We weren’t close: I’d only met her a couple of times. More a friend of a friend than anything else. We were chalk and cheese really, […]
Birthdays of the Departed
I feel like I’ve lost a friend and don’t know why. I feel like the more I try to hang on, the more she pushes away. And it makes me really sad because we were so close. I felt like I’d found someone who I could be really honest and […]
Unrequited friendship
I feel like I really only have one friend at the moment. Maybe 3-4 at a push, but only one that I see and catch up with regularly. If I went out in town I’m sure I’d see plenty of people to talk to, but I’m not sure who I’d […]
Friends
I’ve always changed my personality depending on who I’m hanging out with, but I’m really frustrated about it at the moment. In uni, I feel like I’m quite bubbly and outgoing, at least with the course group. I get along with them really well and I feel really comfortable. But […]

Friends vs Acquaintances
Just a quick word about my 2010 resolutions. To recap: Straight edge Welsh More money to charity More time with friends Blog more Become vegan Reduce emissions Exercise more Become an activist (Apparently I’m not that bothered about boys anymore?) So the first 4 are still going well. I’m doing […]
Resolutions 2010 – so far…
It’s 10 years that we’ve been friends. And yet I haven’t been able to get him to spend more than one night with me while he’s been home. I know we’ve both been a bit rubbish at keeping in touch while he’s away, but it’s always been the same – […]
Best Friend?
I thought I’d be ill for the third new years running, but I seem to have shifted it. Huzzah! So I’m out tonight in Ruthin. Not my first choice for a big night out, but it’s who you’re with not where you are. And I thought I’d make a few […]
