Back to the daily grind... and Diaries

Back to school on Monday and I'm not one bit looking forward to the amount of work I will have to copy up. But is it really the copying up? Most of it is coursework though so I don't really know. Copying myself up perhaps maybe a better phrase to use instead.
Boring old week again. It gets more and more boring as you get better. It's like no mans land. You feel too sick to work, but feel too better to sleep all day so you end up in the middle were you need some brain stimulation but not too much of course to hurt the ol' brain cells.

Yesterday I was considering about writing again. I have this old diary I used to keep since I was in P.5 when I got it for my birthday and every now and again I put in a new entry. I don't write in it everyday because I'm not really an interesting person and it's usually maybe only a weekly or monthly occurance that something happens that would be interesting to write about.
So anyways, I'm thinking about writing in it more fequently. The book I have is really quite annoying. There's no ruled lines and it's a hard back so it's difficult to write in and be comfortable writing. Another thing is, is that I can type faster and it's easier, so getting my thoughts out is smoother and not just pick the most interesting thoughts to write down. My hand writing is terrible so thats another thing that puts me off. I can also touch type on the laptop so I can watch TV and type at the same time and multitask (just did there now).
However I do like the traditional sense of writing because it is a lot more personal with the handwriting and everything and I like it more. I could just change my book and I would be able to do that if I wrote in my old one more and also I could try different pens to maybe help me write better (yes I blame my tools) and also if I traditionally write, it would help improve my handwriting after a while and slow my thoughts so it's not constantly racing and narrating every second of my day.

Why do I want to write?
I want to write because I just like writing for the craic and to get some of my thoughts down and it helps to wind down after a long day. It could also come as a backup if I'm out of a job and I could go into journalism or even writing professionally like a novel. Writing helps in so many ways and with the over taking of the new craze of blogging and the computer, the traditional sense of writing a diary or personal writing has gone down hill. However with blogging it has opened up new possibilities for people who never knew they could write as much and even grab the publics interest.
I like traditional writing because it's more personal and it's in decline. Many actors and comedians wrote diaries during their most troubled times in the career, and without their diaries we wouldn't really know or understand what they went through and it opens up to us their true feelings.
I want to look back at my diaries and read them and maybe even publish them if that's possible when I'm a lot older. I would like people to read my diaries after I've gone, because if there was a shocking moment, I don't have to worry about it and all's good.

So the question is...
Modern or Traditional? What do you think?

Oink Oink!

Well, this week hasn't been the best of weeks, infact it's been the worse so far. I have flu.
I've missed school for a week and it's getting to me. Monday morning I woke up starting the second week with the supposed common cold. I was wrong, it was flu all along. My head was sloshing around and my neck muscles were painful and my throat was scratchy. I soldiered on and got ready for school, sniffling away, persevering. Then I told my mum... She escorted me back to my bed and was imprisioned in my room.(not really)
After that I fell asleep and when I woke up it hit me like a truck and I knew this was going to be bad. I spent all week in my room, in bed being fetched water and medicinals. Monday night ended with a fever and it just got worse and worse.
Tuesday I woke up, thankfully, I thought I was dying it was so bad. My whole body was just so sore and with each turn of my head made me extremely dizzy and painful. I slept most of that day, in and out of sleep and even on Wednesday it was still the same.
Came Thursday and I was able enough to watch tv and make the hours seem a bit faster. I even tried to do some school work because I just felt so guilty for not doing anything in such an important year, but I didn't get very far as I was far too tired and sick to even think properly. I began to eat some food and felt hunger once again. My tummy just didn't want to eat food and felt a bit mashed up but not in a sick way.
You know it's bad when you start to watch Jeremy Kyle, Ricki Lake and even look forward to triple episodes of Judge Judy in the afternoons.
Friday, I made futher progress and began to venture outside of my room to visit the fridge for some food, but most of the time came back to bed unable to stand and ponder of what goodies to eat in the glorious fridge of food; still looked forward to Judge Judy...
Saturday, and with further progress I decided to maybe get dressed so the shock of school on Monday isn't that bad and began to venture more about the house, still working up back to the old appetite, but it hurt still.
Finally, Sunday or today... Ventured outside for a bit because the weather was nice and after finding some poppy seeds in my tea, decided thats far enough and came back in to the comfort of my room and the warm goodness of the almightly laptop which is constantly with me at all times, except during school; though that might change soon. I did some more homework and finished my Power Point for IT and the other homework for the IT teacher, though I may have regrets doing work as I am now told I'm not going in tomorrow, cause I'm still not well. Bummer. So yet again another Monday and Tuesday spent at home trying to get well and get some work done under some weak and sniffly conditions. I hate flu...

Have to start somewhere....

Well this is it I suppose. This is my blog and it isn't very good so far. I did have a post in April but it wasn't very good and it is totally irrelevant now. I've decided I should have a main website that everyone can access to see what I've been doing on the web and it keeps everything sorted so it's like the main page to everything else.

There will be links to websites I'm currently on such as:
  • Youtube - search FieldHockey007 for my lovely videos
  • Bebo - it's private
  • and Facebook - don't be stalking me
Technically I hate bebo because it's rather boring and I like Facebook cause it's that bit more formal and I get to know what people are up to. lol!
So yea, nothing really more to say. This should hopefully be a weekly blog maybe every Friday or Saturday when I find the time. If you keep watching and following, you can see what I've been up to, my interests or projects that I'm doing.

So thanks very much for reading and so on, stay tuned and have a nice week!

(This whole blogging thing is crazzzy)
