A lot can happen in nine months. Maybe I’ve had a baby, maybe I’ve got a job that’s stable and well paid, maybe I decided to eschew all technology, meaning I could never touch my laptop again. Maybe my life has changed in some significant manner that made me forget all about my blog because life was so great. Sadly its none of those things, I can only wish it was. Except for the baby. Though that at least would be something interesting to write about. No, instead I have moved from miserable part-time job to miserable part-time job, watched days worth of DVDs and pretended I’m a writer. In fact, as of this moment I would rather say my profession is “Pretend writer”, than “Part time horse poo picker”. The former sounds better, even if it’s the latter that gives me money. I won’t even try to catch you up on what I’ve been doing with myself in the nine months since I last wrote something here, I fear that I will drive away any readers who made it this far. So I shall sum up the highlights in the follower short paragraph.
It was my birthday in May, I don’t remember much about it. Not because I was drunk, but because not much happened. I did get two helium balloons from my best friend that both said ’2′ because I’m 22. I got some money which I mainly spent on the box set of Battlestar Galactica which I’ve been meaning to catch up on for over a year and really enjoyed it. There was also the time when I slipped over on a wet plank whilst emptying a wheelbarrow and found myself face down in horse poo with the metal wheelbarrow on my head, which left me embarrassed (even though the only witness was a horse whom I swore to secrecy) and slightly concussed. I saw Richard Herring and Dylan Moran live, both of whom were excellent and I completely didn’t go the Edinburgh Fringe again, though I was in Edinburgh while the Fringe was on, I don’t think laughing at people at the train station counts.
That’s all really. Nothing particularly interesting has bought me back to my blog, but its a good way to get me writing properly. My time recently has been spent writing short stories to go with silly cartoons I’ve drawn, much like my children’s classic ‘Joey and the Hideously Malformed Deathocopter’. I think I may start publishing them here, if only to get some use out of my poor, poor neglected blog. I think I’ve said enough. This blog hasn’t been that interesting really but it felt wrong to launch back into it after nine months with some ‘funny’ piece about lemons or whatever. I hope you are well, where ever you may be! Thank you for reading.
