Three weeks of freedom

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
So, it's been about three weeks since I last had a cigarette. Or should that be: So, it's been about three weeks since I had my last cigarette. I really feel like I've conquered it. I've had the occasional desire to have one, but I've never actually seriously considered going and buying any. Even when my friend was smoking right…

Not smoking

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
I had my last cigarette on Tuesday night, and I've not had one since. It's been five and a half days or thereabouts, and I've not even considered going to buy any, let alone smoke one. I'm going to write a big long post about how I've just stopped soon, maybe tonight, maybe next week, I don't know yet. I…

STOP SMOKING

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
I have decided that it really is finally time to stop smoking. I'm currently ill, and halfway through a course of Champix, so smoking is utterly pointless at the moment. Of course, in reality, it is always pointless. Being ill means I can't fully inhale the smoke, and the Champix makes me feel sick when I do smoke. I just…

Ghosts

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
I'm feeling melancholic tonight, a little nostalgic. I feel like laying some ghosts of the past to rest, so they stop haunting me. I've been here before, but my outlook has changed, I've grown a lot. I said then that just looking was laying the ghosts to rest, but tonight I am sending out messages to all those who changed…

Confidence+5

Posted inCreativity, Internet, ReflectionsNo Comments
So I recently posted my latest picture on DeviantArt and then on Facebook, and the feedback has been amazing, it's given me a real boost in creative confidence. To say I'm proud of it is an understatement - it's without a doubt the greatest piece of art I have ever created - and the only time I've not fallen short…

Disconnected

I've just posted this on the forum - it's pretty self-explanatory. I feel a little disconnected from you guys. Work/Uni/travelling/moving abroad has happened, and for whatever reasons, we've all drifted away from the forum a little. How are you? How's things? Is your life turning out how you'd hoped? I'm good, married now, plodding along at Asda but I've got…

Where I’m at right now

Posted inBooks, Creativity, Films/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments
A mini to-do list, combined with stuff I have done and random thoughts. * I need better hours at Asda, ones that suit me and the lifestyle I want. Must grow balls and speak to manager about it. * MUST STOP SMOKING * And start running. * Knuckle down and draw more. Just draw. Anything. It's all good practise. *…

It’s time for a new look I think

Posted inReflections, Site RelatedNo Comments
This place has been quite static in terms of visuals for a long time now, and while I do still like the look, it is getting a little stale. It may just need a little bit more colour in there rather than a whole new theme, and Atahualpa is awesome for subtle changes. I'll keep you updated - although any…

Sonic Virtually Fighting with Vipers

Posted inReflections, VideogamesNo Comments
So, fancying a bit of retro fighting action, I downloaded Virtua Fighter 2, Fighting Vipers and Sonic The Fighters via the Xbox Live Arcade today. Virtua Fighter 2 was very stiff - the guard button felt very unresponsive, and I felt like there was no real way to counter Lion's low attacks. Fighting Vipers brought back a lot of memories,…
