YOUR AGE IN CHOCOLATE
Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway--but the Hershey Man will know!
It takes less than a minute. Work this out as you read ...
Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!
***************************************************************
This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun!!
... Honestly, it's really good!!!
***************************************************************
1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10)
2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)
3. Add 5
4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator
5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1756 .... If you haven't, add 1755.
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.
You should have a three digit number
The first digit of this was your original number (i.e, how many times you want to have chocolate each week).
The next two numbers are:
***********************************************************
YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)

Dreams –
Are easier to believe
Than the nightmares you dwell on
During the lightest of hours
Yet still you mourn their absense
Tears –
so fickle yet furious
I cry to remember –
- to remember the day we met
- just to devour every taste of the ocean

A Little About Me
Who am I? I live in Swansea, Wales, UK with my wonderful partner. I work part time for a UK based telecommunications company while completing my final year at university.
I enjoying playing my guitar and drums when I get the chance. I also love going to the cinema, going out for meals and listening to music. I write poetry mainly as an avenue to channel my thoughts and feelings; a mixture of fantasy and reality.

there is plenty of time
if there was time at all
in the vacuum of spaces
between love and need.
Crowheart on my poem
Here and Now

Journal - 21st August 2006
***********************************************************
Ah sooo much to update you guys on. First of all, how are we all? How have the past few months been for you? Pop a lil note on my page and I'd be happy to you read your story! The past few months have been a wonderful but difficult time for me - and I noticed I havent written a clear, truthful journal on events in my life for months.. around February time maybe? Anyway, here it goes - sit tight!
Around March time, money was difficult as the bank made a massive balls up of my account. I had pretty much no money and really couldnt do much this month apart from maybe hold on tight on wait for it to clear over. During this time, my sister turned 20 - she is the youngest and the closest sister I have in my family - so that freaked me out massively in my age.
My ex fiance also started seeing someone new and it felt really wierd not being part of his birthday celebrations. It was not regret, or longing to be there - it was more sadness that it had got to this point. But life moves on, and we do not always have to like what comes our way.
In April - May time it was much of the same - very little money and struggling to pay the bills. I was working a part time contract because of my university work but still we found our way through somehow. University was tough as it was coming close to graduation and there was so much work I still had yet to do.
June - July time was awesome as I found out I had passed by degree with a decent classification and most of July was spent celebrating my results with family and friends. My family and Pete came to the graduation ceremony and it really was the highlight of my summer. A gang of close friends also went down the Gower to have a BBQ on the beach and we went swimming fully clothed in the summer sea. It was beautiful and warm - and we swam until the night sky drew in and it became too dangerous to stay out in the waters.
The money situation was easing out off but financial worries were still a ever presence in my life and this would continue through to August. August, for me, has been a month of complications and considerations for the future. I have been accepted to do a Masters in Business Management starting from October onwards and I have many opportunities in work to progress my career.
I hope by my next journal entry I would have a job in our second line technicial department or human resources and would be earning a little more money. I also hope that with higher wages coming in, that the financial situation will ease to a point where money issues are no longer all consuming.
On the plus side, the past few months have transformed my relationships with friends, family and my partner in leaps and bounds. I have become more open and let people get to know me more - especially in work. This has opened up more career opportunities for me now and in the future. I have also have less to worry about with my degree now completed - I can look to the future and develop it in whatever direction I wish.
My relationships with my close friends have become much stronger - they know me more and as a result they trust me more with their life issues and fears. My relationship with my boyfriend has strengthened beyond all belief. I believe that the past few months at worst have been character building and at best have taught us that we can come through everything and come out on top through it all.
I've also started to become more involved with my family. After over a year of not speaking to her, I have now starting talking to my mother again and started involving her in my life. It will take a long time before my relationship with her will become repaired but at least we have started that journey.
I have also got to know my sister and her partner much better. My sister is 8 months pregnant and due to pop one out any time soon - I'm going to be an aunty.. argh! She has also been looking after my puppy until Peter and I can find a house that will accept it as part of the tenancy agreement.
My little sister and I have also become much closer - especially since she is moving away in October to go to university. I have always taken for granted she will always be there so its going to be sad to see her only once every few months.
Finally my dad has made a full recovery from his mental breakdown in January and is looking forward to becoming a granddad shortly.
The next few months are going to be so exciting as there are so many open possibilities and very few constraints. I feel in way that my life is only just beginning and there is so much more to come.
I leave you with this - I got sent this by old friend. Usually I delete chain mail as it obvious is a load of twaddle and a waste of time. Out of pure morbid curiousity I read this one.
It is one of the few chain mails I've read and have smiled to. It's the first chain mail I have ever never considered forwarding on; it is the first bit of chain mail that hasnt left me longing for all its promises to be fulfilled; its the only one where I've said...
I've already got that - and I am so lucky and blessed to have it in my life.
The chain mail's contents are nothing special - but reading it was just a touching moment that made me smile - and I'd like to share it with you all.
Enjoy -
***********************************************************
You will have your heart broken, probably more than once, and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.
You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love.
So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
So send this to all of your friends in the next 5 minutes and a miracle will happen tonight.
Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot; who calls you back when you hang up on him; who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.
Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead; who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats; who holds your hand in front of his friends.
Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you. Wait for the one who turns to his friends and says,
"..that's her."
(and then I smiled, and responded,
his name is Peter..... )
***********************************************************
Much love to you all and I hope that you'll enjoyed the journey so far and all
that is beautiful yet to come in your lives..
Take care
Lots of Love and Hugs
