A Fairy Tale Dave Style

July 13th 2011 15:16
Let's say that the "princess" whatever her name is we haven't named her, sees the guy looking around lost, and she asks him "Excuse me but are you lost too?" and he turns around and takes a moment to reply, he was too busy lost in the eyes of this girl that has come out of nowhere "Erm, yeah I am, I was looking for the town centre and well...got lost. Yeah so Shanita snapping the guy out of his day dream, replies "Well I am lost as well, I decided to go for a walk from the palace and now I am lost."

So the guy we are calling Nathan looking around and then back at her "Well I have a map, but I cannot see that well." she looks at the map "Well you can give it to me and I can try and find us." so he hands her the map and she looks it over, but wouldn't you know it? The rain has come "Could this day get any worse" Shanita says so they look around trying to find a place to wait out the rain.

Shanita and Nathan looking around decide that their only option is to run into the trees and see if this leads anywhere good, but Nathan finds himself following over a hole and hurting himself he groans in pain "damn it! Who put this hole here?" Princess Shanita stops in her tracks and walks back to tend to the fallen Nathan that is now getting wet. So she finally gets back to him, yeah no hurry the dude is only hurt!

So she offers to help him up and they slowly make it back to the road, and they are standing there it's very busy today so they walk along the road...hey it's an original story give me a break! finally a car stops but there is this wicked witch named Sarah, though unlike all the rest she's not the ugly kind, you see Disney? This is how ya do it! She offers to give them a ride somewhere...but neither these two know where they are going, erm yeah that's smart...

Yeah, we are in the age of GPS and these people are just stupid....so the "witch" takes tbem into town, and she is driving by when someone yells out "Stop the car bitch!" she stops and looks around, and sees no one at first then this guy comes out of nowhere and he has a gun....and he says he's taking the car but what he didn't know is that Sarah had a gun too, and well...she shot him, sad end to that guy. I mean we'd give him a name, but why waste a name on a guy that lasted 1 minute tops? Yeah suffer you unnamed bastard!

"The gun just went off?" was Sarah's only reply as she hopped back into the car Nathan and the princess Shanita just looked at each other and now we are on our way again looking for a place to drop these kids, a hotel? Nah, oh we have ourselves a pub? How lovely. So we stop at the pub and they get out and they go in and well Shanita isn't really in the mood to wait around she walks up to the bar "Bar keep?"" The bar manager walks towards her "What can I get for ya?" he asks she's still wet and dripping everywhere "I'm lost and I do not know where I am." she replies "Well you are at the pub, love." he replies to her she stares blankly at him, YES WE KNOW IT'S A FLAMING PUB YA MORON! but calmly she asks "I am looking to get back to the palace I got lost, but first we need a doctor for...sorry what was your name again?"

"It's Nathan, didn't I already mention this?" Shanita shrugs and looks back at the bar manager "Yeah so, Nathan needs a doctor as well, so can you help?" the bar manager ponders a moment "I'm sorry love, I'm not a doctor, but we have a vet around here somewhere." So Nathans standing there and he is waiting for the vet to come and have a look at his leg, it's now killing him, literally almost...anyway the vet walks around the bar and looks at it. "Well you know young sir if you were a horse I'd have to shoot you, it looks like a clean break." "A clean break?" a worried Nathan says to the vet "Yeah, did I stutter? No, now there's nothing much I can do for you I mean I am a good vet, but you are not an animal" so the Princess remarks "though I bet he is an animal in bed!" they all look at her "What? It was alright too soon." so they stop looking at her and she grabs herself a drink. "I suggest you call for a real doctor." the vet then goes back to his bar stool.

Once back at his stool he turns to the other guy there "I could fix his leg, but why should I? He looks like a bum." the other guy smirks and nods and they go back to drinking and Nathan who is not really in the mood grabs the barkeep "Look I am in pain call me a doctor now!" he shoves him away and then the barkeep just stands there looking at him "Call? Look me boy I do not have a phone here...but if you walk outside you will see the doctors office." Nathan is now pissed off "Why didn't you point us there from the start?" An angry Nathan says "Well you see I would have but it wouldn't have been as funny." the barkeep and the rest laugh "Well I did not find this funny at all!" shouts Nathan at the barkeep. "Well then you need a sense of humour."

Shanita too is not very happy with their time being wasted "Look guy whatever your name is I have to get home to the palace and I have no time for your stupid games!" they stop laughing and look a tad serious now "Well excuse me." he says and then he turns his back no one is helping them get Nathan to the doctor across the road so they struggle to get there.

They fall over a couple of times before reaching the door and leaving the bar and then standing there they look around "Excuse me! Can you help?" Shanita yells at some guy he looks at her "Me?" she looks bemused now "Yes of course you!" so he walks towards her "Well I am not sure what do you want me to do exactly?" he replies to her "I want you to help me get to the doctors office!" she explains to him. He stands there and loooks across the road and sees the door shut.

In case you missed it, in the credits at the end of the story the vets name was Stan, the bar guy was Larry, and the other guy, well he's just the other guy, we do not need to know his name he's just simply useless.

But the new guy in our story is Charlie and he's a bit slow but the fans will love him because he's a bumbling idiot...much like...yeah we cannot tease her until later. But anyway Charlie looks at the doctors office and it appears closed but he wants to check himslef so he walks over and bangs on the door, missing the sign that says "closed until tomorrow." he keeps banging "Hello?" he yells over and over again before someone next door gets annoyed "Shut up!" shouts the store owner named Kent, he's not happy at being disturbed by the village idiot.

"But this guy is hurt!" says Charlie "The doctors office is closed you idiot! Read the damned sign!" he points to the sign and Charlie is standing there trying to read it "But I cannot read, I was locked in my basement and never taught to read I escaped there again!"

"I didn't ask for your life story dummy!" the man says in a very mean and unfriendly way Shanita isn't happy with the treatement of the local idiot "Hey! There is no need to snap at him he was helping me and Nathan here he is hurt and needs a doctor?" she explains to the storeman but he doesn't appear to really care "Yeah, so? what do you want me to do about it? There is no doctor." he snaps.

"But can't you point us to one?" Shanita says quickly and with a worried tone in her voice. "I cannot there are none in town I just said, were you not listening?" he snaps again boy he's a mad one this one. "But we need help..." he cuts her off "No doctor no help, listen to the words I am saying would you?" shes starting to get angry at the tone of the voice and she then grabs him and snaps back "Look you angry old man show me where the nearest doctor is or I am going to punch you as hard as I can!" she then shoves him away from her.

"I c-c-could find someone I am not sure give me a minute" he walks into his shop and he looks around for a book he finds it and looks through it and sees the name of a doctor in there. "Look I have an idea, there is adoctor outside of town but he's a bit mad...and he's a bit into voodoo and other stuff, you cannot go alone." he says to her "But I am not alone!" she snaps at him "No I mean you need someone other then the village idiot, and whoever this moron is!" he says to her.

"I'm Nathan!" Nathan snaps getting angry "Oh right, Nathan." he shrugs and he goes back into the store "I will lock up just wait there!" shouts the shopkeeper who takes off the apron and he gets his keys he comes back out and locks up the shop. "Now it's a fair walk to the guy." he says "I don't care, but Nathan would so what are we going to do about him?"

The shopkeeper thinks a moment "Well" he says "I am out of ideas, I mean I can easily walk you there, but we're not going to really get there any time soon, ya know?" shanita is not really impresed now her face turns really red "WHAT?!?! YOU'RE OUT OF IDEAS WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN YOU ARE OUT OF IDEAS?!?" she shouts so loud that Constable Sharka hears her blowing her stack "What's going on here?" she asks seeing Nathan in pain there on the ground the shopkeeper looking around as if he has no idea where he is at. "Well it's like this, Nathan here needs a doctor, and this moron! This idiot this bozo..." he interrupts "She gets the point! Shesh!" he snaps.

Nathan then looks at Sharka and shrugs "Alright so like I was saying this guy here was meant to be finding us a hospital but he's suddenly forgotten!" Sharka looks at the shopkeeper "Is this true?" he nods "I have short term memory loss, you cannot jail me for this, surely?" he says to the police officer.

“Well then we are going to have to find a way to get this poor man to a hospital.” says the police officer “Well duh, what do you think I have been trying to do?” the police officer asks “Well how about helping me take him to the police car?” Shanita nods “Let's do it then.” so they pick up Nathan he is a tad bit heavy Charlie again pops up in our story because he's a nuisance really he is.

“Charlie, can you give us a hand?” shouts the officer Charlie stands there with a dumb look on his face, like he has had most of the day, life, year, whatever the point is he is standing there looking like an idiot. “You want a hand?” he shouts back, Shanita and Sharka look at each other bemused “Yes, we want a hand.” snaps back Sharka who does not appear in the mood for the insane ramblings of an idiot.

Charlie stands there and starts clapping! With a goofy look on his face “Why are you standing there clapping?!” Sharka yells at Charlie “You told me you wanted a hand, so I am giving you a hand, why are you not lifting that guy up while I give you a hand?” Sharka slaps her head and Shanita shakes hers “I meant I wanted you to come here and help me lift this guy up!” Shanita angrily shouts.

Charlie stands there in a daze he has no idea what to say or do he just stands there and allows them to move Nathan alone. A random stranger Jody walks by and sees them struggling with a man "Would you like a hand?" he enquires, Shanita nods her head "Yes please!" she says joyfully at the help finally being offered to her.

They all help Nathan into the police car and shut the door, shanita turns to Jody "Thank you!" she says happily "But I do not know your name?" Jody turns and smiles "My name is Jody." he replies "Jody Sweigard, I am new around here, what is your name?" he enquires she walks towards him "My name is Shanita." she replies extending her hand, he shakes it "Nice to meet you." he says with a big smile she smiles back "Nice to meet you too." she replies but he doesn't stick around he has done his good deed for the day.

Nathan's finally at the hospital, you would not believe who his doctor was...It's Doctor Stupid....Doctor Andrew Stupid, imagine that? But Nathan doesn't know this yet, he's waiting for the doctor to come but nurse Danielle Cadieux meets with Nathan. "The doctor will see you soon, try and relax a bit." she says to Nathan "Paging Doctor Stupid, Doctor Stupid to Room 12." the voice is heard over the PA. "Doctor Stupid??" says Shanita "What kind of name is that for a doctor??" she continued looking puzzled. "He's not really stupid, he's a top doctor" says Danielle trying to comfort Shanita.

"He better not be stupid!!" says Nathan very nervously. "Hey Stupid!" yells Dr. Stephens "Don't be so mean!" snaps a patient who doesn't have a name "What? His name is Dr. Stupid!" Doctor Stephens says back to the patient. "Oh, I'm sorry thought you were being nasty!" she replies. So we have Dr. Dave Stephens calling out Stupid, a Doctor named Stupid, can you see why you should never visit General Hospital? Oh, there's a nurse and a doctor in the operating room doing the nasty, but we don't care we're waiting on Doctor Stupid.

Dr. Stupid finally stops listening to his Ipod, he was also singing "Wannabe" but that part, you don't need to...really want to...yeah it wasn't important it was just a minor add in, now put the gun down Scary Spice! Anyway back to the story, no wait, let me drink a bit of Coke Zero, and then we can start again, cheap plugs in a story, nice. "Hey Dr. Stupid they're paging you!" yelled Dr. Stephens again, Andrew looked around. "Why? what happened?" he replied. Uhhh, duh? "Some guy broke his leg, and he was brought in by some girl and they want you to check him out!" replied Dr. Stephens.

Finally we get our doctor to the room, he's eating a snickers bar, again cheap plug! How many cheap plugs can we put in here? Well let's wait and see. Doctor Stupid sees Nathan lying there in pain. He feels his leg “Well you have a broken leg, I suggest we get you in get it into plaster and send you on your way.” says Dr. Stupid. Nathan not happy at the sudden touch and leave plan of the doctor “Whoa wait a minute!” he says “aren't you going to x-ray it or something?” he adds. “Well Nathan.” says the doctor walking back in “I have felt your leg, and I can see there is a break, so there is no need for an x-ray, but I can order one if you want. But you are going to be here a bit longer, and by the time you get the plaster, well you won't be out by morning.” says the doctor.

“Well I just want to be out of here so get me the plaster!” snaps Nathan, Dr. Stupid leaves the room and sees the nurse out there. “Nurse.” he says “Yes Doctor?” she replies “I want you to get him some painkillers, and get him a cast, and then we'll see about discharging him from the hospital.” says Doctor Stupid. “Ok Doctor, I will do that.” she says walking into the room. Shanita seems to have chilled a bit now, and we've got our friend Nathan a cast, and some crotches, now they can leave, look at that he has a nike sticker on there, THIRD PLUG!!! Ron Simmons walks into the room “Damn!” and walks out.

Cameo one, and that cost us some money right there...They get outside and they see a taxi pull up, the driver gets out and helps Nathan into the car “Thank you” says Nathan as he gets into the car, the driver holds the door open for Shanita to get in, she gets in he closes the door and walks back to front of the car and gets in. “So where to?” says the driver “To a hotel please.' says Shanita.

“No poblem.” says the driver, they set off and the driver seems to be keen on a bit of chat '”So how did your friend here break his leg?” Nathan doesn't look like he really wants to reply to this, so Shanita decides to “He was running and he fell into a hole.” she says “And it took us ages before we could get him to the hospital to see a doctor.” she adds.

“That sounds very painful indeed.” says the driver, no he's not the same driver as before, this guys name is Adam and he seems to be a better driver, not that hard, believe me. Adam goes quiet for a moment, before he stops the taxi “Well we're here, and the fee is $10.40.” he says to them. Nathan pulls out his wallet and hands over the money “I have also give you a small tip, it would have been more, but getting to the hospital has cost me a bit today.” says Nathan “That's fine, I hope your leg gets better.” Adam gets out of the taxi again and walks around and opens the door. Wow, a taxi driver that's offering to open a door, Shanita hops out of that side. “Hold on, I will walk around and help you.” he says. He walks around to the other side he opens the door, and assists Nathan out of the car.

“Thank you.” says Nathan who is holding onto the door Adam reaches in and grabs the crotches and hands them to him. “Again I thank you for being so kind.” he says. “It's not a problem, it's all about the customer service.” says Adam as Nathan and Shanita enter the hotel he stands the a moment, why? I have no idea he watched them walk in and just stayed there maybe he was seeing if they were still safe. A troll looking guy Cole Piening walks up and sees Adam standing there “Flog.” he mumbles under his breath, “What?” says Adam as the guy walks away from him. “What do you mean what?” says Cole yeah I can see this being an exciting conversation.

“You are such a flog, Adam, I do not like you at all, and when we meet on that football field tomorrow, I am going to make you suffer.” says Cole who keeps on walking Adam doesn't say anything. The big football game is on tomorrow and Adam knows he doesn't need to get into a fight before he has to take the field. Julius is walking along, he doesn't like this Adam guy either, after so many run ins on the football field he thinks Adam needs to be taught a lesson. “Cole, I see you and that Adam Drage shared some words, we should really make a plan, come with me and we will make him pay!” says Julius. They both walk away talking, Adam closes his door, and he walks into the hotel hoping to see the two people that have been in taxi recently but he did not see them in there.

Adam walks back out and he is met by the “witch” is she a nice “witch”? Adam is going to find out I guess. Adam walks up to her “Hi, I am Adam.” he says to her she looks at him smiles “Hi Adam, I am Ariana, and I am a witch, but I am not a nasty witch like my sister.” she says. “I have never met your sister” he says. “That's good, you won't have to worry about me then!” Ariana replies to him. Finally we find oursleves a nice “witch” what else can we expect here? Well Ariana and Adam are just shooting the breeze, we don't need to know what they are saying, but suddenly out walks Shanita, she seems to think she knows this “witch” this will be good.

“Watch out for her!” she shouts running towards Adam she pushes him away “she's an evil witch don't be fooled by her!” she adds. “What do you mean I am an evil witch? We have never met?” says Ariana who is confused by now. “You lie! You're a liar! You shot someone!” she shouts back at Ariana. “What do you mean I shot someone? I have never shot anyone in my life!” I take it you are confused by this now? Well let's back up, you see Shanita and Nathan first refused a ride but they got into the car, the “witch” Sarah, you remember her? Well she was a wicked witch and well, she shot someone, he has no name but we still don't care. Anyway they are twins! You see this is not Disney, or some other fairy tale where you get one ugly witch that is evil, and a good looking nice witch” no no no. You get two good looking, twin witches with differing ideals, one likes to be nice, one is bad. There is a third one, but we won't be hearing of her yet.

So now you are caught up we can go back to this cat fight, oh look there's Joey Styles with a headset, and a chair he sits down. “Welcome everyone to Extreme Catfights, tonight's main event it's Ariana the good witch, facing Shanita, the princess from, yeah, the princess, this is not Disney, but we have a witch and a princess. CAT FIGHT!!!!!!!!!” both look at him and Joey fearing for his life stands up and leaves taking his chair with him. I would like to take the chance to say we're not bagging Disney, we're trying to get you to see that this story is an original story with the most messed up stuff going about.

“I saw you shoot someone!” shouts back Shanita, by now Adam's patience has run out here, and he has to do something about this. “Shut up!” he shouts “Just shut up!” they both look at each other and shrug and look back at him. “Enough already, tell me what is going on here?” he says. “I saw this woman here, shoot someone, she was driving crazily and then a guy came out of nowhere and she shot him!” says Shanita. “But that was not me.” Ariana says she stops she figured it out! “It was my sister! Sarah, she was the one that shot the guy!” says Ariana.

Social Networking is becoming all the rage, they are popping up every where and everyone is always searching out for somewhere to share their day to day stuff and connect to new people. Well now Google has begun, in limited release to people who are lucky to get into it's trial, and get an invite to join.

At the moment Google is in basic operation, some have said it's a more basic version of Facebook. Google's other venture into social networking has landed us Google Buzz, a Twitter clone that seems to be not that popular with Twitterizens, and Tweeter fans.

Some are believing this venture will be a failure as well, as they are trying to clone a popular website. But when you look back at when Facebook started, it took what MySpace was and made it more interesting. When the tide started to change and facebook was taking over MySpade went the same way as Facebook to add games, and such.

Now Google isn't the only email client to have a social networking feel to it, Yahoo has their connections to social media, as has Windows Live/Hotmail. Blogging too has started to become a new social media experience with Tumblr. Oh and let's not forget the connection you can have with asking questions on FormSprings.

The list of social media outlets are immense, and will continue to grow gradually, the question remains, will this be a hit, or a miss with the social media elite?

With the growing disgruntlement with Facebook, and their changes, their unneeded and often more annoying changes. Google has a chance to pick up on a fanbase of Facebookers that are annoyed, right now it seems the basic usage of Tumblr has some flocking there, but Facebook has done one thing right.

Facebook has probably the best privacy, and security you can restrict what you share even to your own friends, so that if there is someone you don't want to see a status, or a photo, or even your wall on there you can do that. It's a perfect way to protect yourself from a lot of the strange people out there and keep people you are complaining about on your list in the dark a bit longer.

This is the closest you will ever get to privacy on the internet, but what is there to say about Google ? Well not much yet, it's in it's early days and like Gmail when it started, you have to wait until it's rolled out or a friend gets you in.

Mountain Heights School here in Queenstown seems to be gaining a reputation, and the campaign trail saw a politician arrive in the town. Nick Sherry was going around, I believe it was him, it could have been someone else, anyway he was getting educated in the education of this town.

I have promised myself, and readers I would never go down the political route, which is still in effect, the mention of Nick Sherry leads me to this blog, the people of this town have mentioned how bad the bullying is, it's getting worse, but no one is doing anything about it and I have to ask this why not?

My brother and sister who are younger then I am won't go to school and they loved school, if they were misbehaving a threat of no school was a bad thing because they loved going to their old school. Sure they were bullied there but that was being stamped out. The Principal of Warrane Primary was trying to stamp out this bullying issue, but nothing seems to be done here.

The twin siblings do not want anything to do with the school, and why would you? Even when they are not at the school they are bullied, my sister went up the shop and some kid pushed her onto the road...Yes...ONTO THE ROAD! She came home, and said how this kid who was 14, was with 3 other girls and he pushed her onto the road.

She is afraid to go up the shops when the kids are around, and I do not blame her one bit. I wouldn't go up there either, then when the schools are out you get rocks thrown on your roof, nothing is being done about these kids.

They run riot through the town as well, I live down the road from the Basketball Courts, and the teenagers toss rocks on our roof, and we have called the police and others have called the police but nothing happens. No one wishes to address the problem.

It's been admitted there is a problem in this town, the kids are doing as they please. Last November a kid was roaming around town with a knife ready to stab another kid. The teachers are made come here, the police are made come here, and then when they get tired they leave.

There needs to be something done, there needs to be harsher penalties in this town for the kids that are roaming around throwing rocks, breaking windows hitting, and bullying kids. There are also kids roaming the town when school was in as well.

It's getting clear that people are just giving up on the kids of this town, while this is a mining town, and the mine is struggling, the kids need to be taught and need to be kept safe at school. But this seems to be an after thought, most kids futures here are either in that mine, or leaving the town and getting into trouble elsewhere.

The bullying seems to be getting worse, no one seems to care, they want to complain to a politician that there are so many bullies here and bullying is pretty bad, but they allow it to continue. They know who the bullies are, they are just too scared to find a solution. A small community where everyone knows everything, and no one wants to work on a solution.

It's pretty sad, but you are seeing a lot of families move out now, and our family seems to be the next to leave, maybe something will change past this year, but I highly doubt that.

since the two blogs posted by Dave Harding on the impersonation of Alex Walkinshaw on Facebook we have managed to find 3 more, 2 of which belong to the one person, and another one we're not sure about. Since the last blog the last profile was removed after finally being deleted by Facebook Admin. In tonights blog, we have found ourselves a possible culprit for the profiles, someone by the name of Kayleigh Maccalister. A profile of Sarah Walkinshaw, real has been found on facebook and she is only adding people she knows apposed to the three fake Alex' adding everyone and claiming everyone is his family.

So after searching the profile I find this, the info about Alex Walkinshaw "i have been in the bill since 1999 when i joined then i left in 2001 then rejoined in 2003 where i am looking to carry on working throughout the last in the whole series which finishes in september And am married to the beautiful Sarah Walkinshaw" this info comes from this profile click So now I searched another profile and found this one

It's another day and there are even more people receiving abusive messages from Mr. Walkinshaw, of course we all know that the profile is not even real. What actor would abuse someone instead of using a block button? The real people think the profile is real is because he talks to them every day, I find that hard to believe, now I know what you are saying, it's good to see an actor talking to his fans, right?

Well that's always good, but how many of them reply to everyone and how many go out of their way to sit on facebook all night and day discussing the realism of their profile? But then people come up about the pictures of Alex, well I have seen his fansite, and I have googled them, and all the pictures Alex uses are all from there. Now when you ask him a question he cannot google, he does not comment, one person asked this guy what he said to someone in a "funny scene" it was since ignored

I am sure there are many, I have not had time to view them all, but I have come across a fake profile of Alex Walkinshaw which does appear fake. But how would you know? Well if you pay close attention to the way this profile posts, and how "Sarah" posts, and then his niece "Fiona" on the profile, you will see that they type the same, the same spelling errors, the same poor grammar and just the same poor grasp of English.

It has been confirmed that the real Alex Walkinshaw actually has removed his facebook profile, or at least as far as anyone knows he has, he couldn have a profile under another name to be left alone and he was sitting there laughing that his new profile seems to be related to Twillight Characters, and has a poor taste in music, and the worst thing is, his "wife" from what I have been told sits on msn all day, now the real Alex Walkinshaw has 2 young children, now if "Sarah" sat online all day, and Alex sat online all day, who looks after their kids

Two years ago I found the game Football Manager 2008, and I started playing that even created my own team via the data editor and wrote a gaming story on this, since then two other games of this series have come out and I have grown addicted to it. Football Manager 2010 has more tactical abilities, and even has a better game view as well, sure the graphics are still a bit behind the games you can play on your PS3, and such but the game is more about your managerial skills and I have found the game to be very addictive.

I went a full 3 months without playing the game, I had last played as Notts County a side in League 2, who are on the way up to League 1 in the Football Championship, since then I have started games as my beloved Newcastle United, and I am very close to promotion in that game, and now I have a journeyman game. What's that? A journeyman game? Yeah, well this is a game where you start off without a job and then find your way to any club around the world. I got a gig first at LA Galaxy and I was doing ok there, nothing special about my career there

2010 a year of discovery

February 14th 2010 11:46
2010 already looks like being a good year to start some more self improvement, it all starts with moving from Queenstown and then from there it should become a steady flow of improvement. I have never wanted to really live here I needed a house, and a friend offered to help and since then we have been stuck in a town that has been not that great. And now we start to wind down the days of being here and look forward to the big changes of 2010.

I have been looking towards losing some more weight as well, being a diabetic I need to get myself healthier and I think I have been doing this and I had hoped to play some football but I have a skin irritation that makes this impossible. Writing has been a very good release for me, I would like to think I am improving each day in my writing and by the time i am finished in the writing school should I be accepted I hope to be able to write professionally. That's the dream for the moment I am not sure what I would do as a back up career, maybe head down to Hobart and work at the CBA in their call centre that should be fun

Why do you Tweet?

February 14th 2010 07:04
Another social networking site that has made an appearance of late Twitter allows you to follow other peoples tweets and tweet yourself, you can reply to them and repost and everything, it's pretty much Facebook without the annoying applications and the wall and stuff.

It's pretty basic, I have joined it and I do not see the massive deal I barely ever use it only when I want to read what is going on or when someone has decided to follow me on there. I remember the days when everyone was getting themselves a Myspace and now it seems that Myspace is dying a slow and painful death and Facebook is striving forward but the Twitter revolution has become the most annoying
