User blog:SmudgyHollz/As Promised...

Sorry for not actually editing after announcing my return in my previous blog "Apparently I'm like a terrorist Paul McCartney". However, I believe that I did mention that there was strong possibility that I would be absent for a further four weeks.

But now that those four weeks are over, I have six weeks free for writing!!! Yey!! Today was my last day of school! Technically, I'm supposed to go to school tomorrow as well, but we're not doing anything, so I don't see the point.

News?

Unfortunately, most of the recent happenings in my life have been crap. For example:
 * Dad was rushed into hospital for emergency stomach surgery. They thought it was appendicitis, but now they're thinking it's crohn's disease. He hasn't had a proper diagnosis yet. Probably because we don't think his doctor was actually a doctor. When dad asked him/her (we're pretty sure he/she was transgender) if he should be following some sort of diet once he'd left the hospital, his/her reply was, "I dunno. Do what you like. Life's too short."
 * Mum has no job. She lost her hours at the school that she's been working at for at least six years. Although she was offered another one somewhere else, that would involve changing some kid's stoma bag. We're not sure what's going to happen at the moment. She wants to become a psychologist (she already has an honours degree in psychology) but that involves leaving us for three year to train. Another option would be becoming a teacher instead of a PSA but that involves her leaving us for two years...
 * We lost our holiday. Yep. The place we're supposed to be staying at was shut down because it is inhabitable. Apparently it's completely overgrown, there's no heating, no electricity and the water's not safe to drink. So that sucks.
 * Our microwave exploded. That was exciting. Mum was heating up milk for my little sister and then suddenly lots of black smoke started coming out of it. We didn't know what to do with it so we threw it in the garden. It's still there now.

Otherwise, I have decided that I need to start reading proper books. At the moment, my reading list currently looks a little something like this: White Teeth - by Zadie Smith Crime and Punishment - by Fyodor Dostoevsky (only because I found out that BBC made a TV series out of it and John Simm plays the main character...) The Body - by Stephen King Lord of the Flies - by William Golding Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha - by Roddy Doyle Cloud Atlas - by David Mitchell

Any other suggestions would be welcomed.

Ughhh... the 'd' on my keyboard doesn't want to work.

Hmmm. Is that it?... I was thinking about starting up a proper blog. Would anybody be interested in reading that?

I've probably forgotten to mention something important, but this post is getting way to long. So, farewell! I'm really excited to catch up with everyone and everything here! :)
