Life is very different now... it's been a busy year.
I stopped living with my fiance at the beginning of May 09. Broke up with him at the end of May.
Since breaking up with him I've lost about a stone, have been laughing and smiling a lot more, hanging out with my friends, being more impulsive, being more sociable. I have met a nice new boy, who is calmer and more mature and generally lovely.
this is us on my 22nd birthday ![]()

Emooo at work. I swear I don't normally have my hair like that, but I was wondering if the silvering was much more noticeable. (I'm not going grey, I'm silvering, honest...).
Recently: Relationship angst, too many early mornings/late nights, my blood pressure's quite low so it's no wonder that beta blockers made me so sick!
Been FUCKING depressed but soldiering onwards.
Peace and love xoxox
Fights with the fiancé.
Playing a whole lot of Solitaire.
Trichtillomania relapse.
(A nervous disorder, sufferers compulsively pull their hair out).
Work work work.
I don't have any new pictures of myself.
This is old.
Walking home last night after a night out at our favourite pub, tipsy but not as drunk as we'd like to be, we pass the pub at the top of our road. A chavtastic sports bar, we've never been in there before. Loud guitar-based music is blaring from it, and we hesitate, trying to work out why it sounds familiar. "That's the guitar solo from Comfortably Numb! And they're not butchering it!" The boy exclaims. We hesitate some more. "They're actually pretty good..."
So we went in. They were a good band. And the bar isn't as awful as we thought. The couple who run it were lovely. And it's cheap(er than the pub we frequent). So now we may well have a new (much closer to home!) drinking establishment. ![]()
GO COMMENT ON CHERRY'S NEWEST SET, kplzthanx.
xoxoxox
Finding old pictures of yourself pulling odd faces! Kiss kiss.
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas.
I think I'd have enjoyed it more if we'd had more than 2 days off work. Which has been SUPER BUSY! And we had loads of customers complaining that we weren't open Boxing Day. Arrgh. Idiot-faces.
Bring on 2008!! I hope it's full of joy for everyone.

Sorry for not updating more! I'm terrible with journals.
Life is proceeding cautiously. Some old bad habits are trying to return to me but so far I'm being good.
I have put on a ridiculous amount of weight though.
Nooo shall not think like that. Bad Caroline. *slaps wrist*
In a permanent state of near-breakdown coz of the pre-Christmas rush at work. Retail jobs are fun this time of year. Need to see my doctor and get various pills off him- I haven't taken anti-depressants since before I cut my hair off, and I always start slipping during winter.
I've been drinking and smoking way too much. I dread to think how my bank balance is doing. *cries*
My hair is quite long! Now I'm thinking about cutting it again. Actually, my boyfriend would cry, so I won't.

I'm going greyer by the day. Never mind. I think it's quirky. Or something.
SMILE INANELY.
Chin up, and all that. Peace and love. xoxo
