And I Can't Find The Words...

About Me

Yes, I am obsessed.

I really don't know what I'm doing with my life. I currently flit around between East Anglia/Swansea/London trying to find something that will make me go 'YES! This is what I'm gunna do for the next year or so and maybe give me something like a job/happiness for the future' but so far this hasn't happened. Currently looking to move westerly around the summertime if things continue the way they have of late. I work in a lovely cafe called The Dancing Goat; if you want to visit, please do. I spend too much money on phone bills and Cherry 7up.

I want bird flu.

"I'm telling you my only secret,

Introspection

I guess that's the purpose of a blog. It's for ones own gratification. It's like a diary, but one you're willing to share with the world. I'm definitely guilty of using 'blogs' as a manipulative tool,...
