Barmy Blue's Bland Blog

I promised I wouldn’t wander off and I’m not, I’m only kind of wandering off a little bit. My Novel work’s due in 5th May and I’ve got 2 essays on May 7th. I’m actually lazing around more than working but I am working on it. So blogging doesn’t cross my mind much except for ‘I promised not to wander off for months on end again and it’s been a while since I last blogged. I promised not to wander off until I’d at least filled in the backdated events.’ So this is just me saying I’m still here, I’m just a bit busy now.
I got a friend request on facebook from Tom yesterday. I chose to “quietly ignore” it. He’s the last thing I need right now and I certainly don’t want him being able to mix with the friends I have now, old and new don’t usually mix so well. I only mention it because it was a surprise, it must be nearly 3 or so years since I even spoke to him. He still plays on my mind, usually when I’m bored and start wondering what if. But then I think, who cares anyway and move on.
I think I’ll get back to my story now. I’m a little reluctant though, I’m afraid of ruining it, I’ve nursed it for nearly a year, I’ve designed absolutely everything in it (I love doing that, it’s so much fun to do) if it stays unwritten I can keep it with me and change it until everything fits perfectly and I can make new stuff up that’s just as much fun and also, if I keep it inside me it can’t get hurt, no one can criticise it and comment on it. Then again, if I don’t write it then I fail and don’t get to graduate and what’s the point of nurturing it for so long if no one’s going to ever read it. Makes no sense. Besides, writing it up has it’s good points too, I’m forced to pin down things that were vaguely floating around before, so I can make it better. Anyway, who cares if someone criticises my work? Not every one will hate it. In the passed 3 years especially, I’ve learnt that I’m not alone, there are other people in the world with tastes and opinions like my own who will like what I write. So, what’s stopping me now?
This is good, I really want to get back to writing it now so I’ll do just that.
Also, I got details about my graduation.
