Good evening, all.

Figured it's been a little while since my last journal update, and here's what's new.

I failed uni. Completely. I have a feeling my tutor, the useles,, 'scuse my french, Prick that he was, did NOT hand my re-submit work in.

So, instead of the HND I was meant to get, I should be receiving a "Certificate in Adult Education". I say SHOULD - I sent the form back a month ago, and the Uni still hasn't had the decency to send me it.

Bastards.

But anyways.

In other news:

- I've started writing the second part of "Vampire's are NOT Emo's". It has seemingly NOTHING to do with the first part - just the same character. Think of the first one as a prologue, if you must. The next part is just an idea I had. I've been watching True Blood (we're on the 4th Episode here in the UK), and after seeing the trailer for both Cirque Du Freak (Which I will NOT be going to see, as, from what I've been told and read, it is NOTHING like the THREE books it's ruining) and Twilight part 2 (Darren Shan would kick Cullen's glittery arse), I realised that there really IS a vacuum for "Classic" vampires.

I've also been trying to write Pink/Princess part 3, but it's a long time coming. I can't seem to get to a point I'm happy with, and if I'M not happy with it, then none of the people (all three of them) that have read the first two parts will be happy. Humph. But we'l get there.

I've been thinking an awful lot about TK, as well. I think it's time I do some serious work on it, so that you all know what I'm talking about - after all; I don't think any of you have been formally introduced to The Tarnished Knight.

- My knee's - yes, I keep harping on about them. I was meant to be going to see a physician at the general hospital, but the morning of my appointment, they rang and said that the doctor had called in sick, and I couldn't see any until 17th November. I won't type my exact response, but I wasn't impressed. It's now gotten to the point where I don't remember what it was like NOT to feel in pain over them.

- I lost my counselling slot after missing an appointment due to work. So, I've been having to try and deal with my issues on my own again; erego, I've been more stressed than usual. C'est la vie.

I have, however, been listening to "Still Unbroken" by Lynard Skynard (Yes, I thought they were all dead as well, but I guess we must be wrong, eh?), and it has made me feel very, VERY motivated. I can quite easily and happily say that I think it is the ULTIMATE "Get up and dust yourself down, for another round" song.

So go and listen to it, people.

Btw, had an AWESOME weekend in Edinburgh (now my all time fave city, better than NY) thanks to my girlfriend. Stayed in a 5* hotel, which had it's own JACUZZi. MEGA.

.......

Does anybody actually read these? No? What if I yell "FIRE/BEAR/ELVIS"?.......

Babbs out.




"Broken bones, broken hearts
Stripped down and torn apart
A little bit of rust - I'm still runnin'

Countin' miles, countin' tears
Twisted roads, shiftin' gears
Year after year - it's all or nothin'

But I'm not home, I'm not lost
Still holdin' on to what I got
Ain't much left
No there's so much that's been stolen
I guess I've lost everything I've had
But I'm not dead, at least not yet
Still alone, still alive, Still UNBROKEN
I'm still alone, still alive,
I'M STILL UNBROKEN

Never captured, never tamed
Wild horses on the plains
You can call me lost - I call it FREEDOM

I feel the spirit in my soul
It's something Lord I can't control
I'M NEVER GIVIN UP WHILE I'M STILL BREATHIN!

I'm not home, I'm not lost
Still holdin' on to what I got
Ain't much left
Lord there's so much that's been stolen
I guess I've lost everything I've had
I'm not dead, at least not yet
Still alone, still alive, Still UNBROKEN
I'm still alone, still alive,
STILL UNBROKEN
I'm still unbroken
Still Unbroken


Like the wind, like the rain
It's all runnin through my veins
Like a river pouring down into the ocean

I'm out here on the streets
But I'm standing on my feet
Still alive, still alone, still unbroken

I'm not home, I'm not lost
Still holdin' on to what I got
Ain't much left
Lord there's so much that's been STOLEN
Guess I've lost everything I've had
But I'm not dead, at least not yet
Still alive, still alone, Still Unbroken
I'm still alone, still alive,
I'M STILL UNBROKEN

I'M STILL ALONE!
STILL ALIVE!
STILL UNBROKEN!
I'M STILL UNBROKEN!

I ain't never going down!
I'M STILL UNBROKEN!
Oooooooh-Ooooooh!"
