i don't need swine flu to be a sick pig

Hey ladies and gentlemen,

Now I know that it has been a really long time since I last blogged (or for that matter, picked up my laptop).

My life has had a couple of strange twists and turns, I may or may not have had a small meltdown, but it looks like everything is on track at the moment which leaves me free to reclaim my creative outlet. I realised that I need to take more photographs, look at more blogs, get some inspiration back. Everything has been so flat lately. Pleasantly flat for the most part, but still flat nonetheless.

I bombed out of university (how many leave-of-absences can one take before the university realises that you're just not that into it anymore?). This was quite damaging to my self-image, but I have divised a strategy to gently steer over this failure; I have applied to enrol to complete a diploma in Animal Technology for 2011, which means that I could work with animals. I love animals. It's a two-year course full-time, so I would be able to take a break from the routine of working full-time.

I am smitten with someone who I have been seeing for a good couple of months now. I am playing it very cool, but I adore him. I don't know if he knows it. I hope not. I sleep there a lot.

I am still living in the apartment with the two female flatmates. Highs and lows.

I seem to have lost a lot of my mojo lately, creativity-wise. So here I am, back again, who knows for how long, but it's something to hold on to.

When did blogging become such a massive crutch for us?

Talk to you soon, bitches. I am going to pop some sleeping medicine and rap along to Eminem's "Recovery" album until I fall asleep with my head full of obscene themes and lyrics ready to leak into my subconscious. Awesome.
