Moaning Old Grump?

So I've been here just over two months now and have clocked up over 20 posts and hundreds of visitors. Pretty impressive eh? However over a convosation with a friend something dawned on me. As we sat drinking our luxurious hot chocolates with cream, marshmellows, sprinkles, flake and a square of chocolate (pure indulgence. . .with a price tag to match) my friend delightfully asks me when exactly it was I turning into a moaning old hag at 16. After my intinal burst of anguish and a period of sulking into my steaming mug (which only proceeded in steaming up my glasses) I begun to understand where she's coming from. Looking back I seem to have moaned in every single one of them, and I still have a massive store of ideas in my head ready for use, and yes you guessed it, they all involve me whinging about something.

Now I seem to be in my element talking about stupid little things and making them into a massive earth shattering problem which should be given our instant attention. It also I like to think adds a little humour to our everyday lives. If you turn the televison on to any news channnel then prepare yourself to be bombarded with doom and gloom. Now I'm not belittling these depressing tales but everyone needs a little bit of sunshine in their lives. Although I do conceed that ranting about telephones is a bit of an odd way to go about it. But if I am depressing anyone else or making me sound like an obsessive freak then feel free to let me know :)

Oh my goodness!
I'm the same.
It's terrible. In fact, I haven't written for so long precisely because most of the things I come out with are moans, moans and many more moans.
I try not to, but I really can't help it.
Maybe we've grown old too quickly? It pains me to think about it. I'll probably start moaning about that too now.

Anywho... Fantastic to see you have a blog. I'm just annoyed I didn't discover it earlier. It's only because I was aimlessly kicking around Bebo and found your page and subsequently the link that I'm here now. A lot of good stuff here, too.

And now for a bit of shameless promotion; by book will be available to order from bookshops in a couple of weeks so if you want to be bored out of your brain by it I encourage you to purchase!

Seeing as our blogs are similar (you'll probably hate me for saying that) how do you fancy doing a link exchange- ie. you give me an image for my blog that I can link to yours and vice versa. Contact me on that contact form thingamy on my blog if you're interested. (I don't blame you if you're not!)

See you at College in September. It's a weird and occasionally wonderful place.

Well there's a doodle. Turns out you've already got a link to my blog. I feel very embarrassed to have asked... and also very honoured.

How about a proper link exchange though... with proper images and everything...?
