'Eyes that watch the morning star seem a little brighter'

I hate to complain about the NHS. We're so lucky to have something even close to our health system in comparison to many other countries but you know what? I'm going to complain anyway, because when you hear your doctor talking on the phone to a health professional and telling them that the matter is urgent and they must get in touch immediately, you do not expect to wait over a month for a letter telling you an appointment is available over a month from then. I rang them at this point to tell them that when my doctor said this issue is important, it really is important, so they gave me an earlier appointment and I waited two weeks for that letter. They've now put that appointment back. I will make my feelings strongly known when I arrive at the appointment, although I suppose I ought to bloody pray it happens at all.

RANT OVER.

Cor, I haven't listened to Morrissey in ages. *dances*

Tonight I spoke to Ewan on the phone for quite a while. Those kids are like a boiling, steaming pot of energy from which I can drink. Not in an I'MAGOFF psychic vampire type way but in a grounding, inspiring kind of way.

I've also realised that people (including me) use the exclamation mark way too much. It is only supposed to be used for an indication of a command, or extreme emotion or astonishment. So there. Stick that in your punctuation pipe and smoke it. Actually, I'd bloody love a punctuation pipe - those of you who know me well will be all too aware I'd be an addict.

I think that's enough for tonight. Hazel and Kevin are visiting soon with the squiddleyiddleykiddleys and I physically can't wait to see them all! <-extreme excitement.

Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.'

'Don't wanna be a hollow man'

Richard Cribben. You were the first resident I really took to at Lennox Wood. Many people didn't understand you but to this day, you were wonderful to me.

I wish I could have known you when you were of stable mind and under less stressful circumstances.

You are not forgotten. You fought for your country but the fight for your mind you lost and I wish I could have done more.

I hope you can hear me.

Wherever you are.

Heidi-ho campers. Yesterday mum and dad visited and we went to the Black Country Museum, we went down a mine which beat some of my claustrophobia into submission!

I'm so exhauted.

Oh, and I've just seen this. Go Obama!
