Ok, I wanted to get to 100 before the end of the year. I thought this was the 100th post until I looked and saw I had an unpublished post around that I hadn't deleted yet. Hopefully I will get to 100, but anyway, on with the post.
So I’ve decided that at it’s the end of the year I’m going to do a review of my year. But then I realised it would probably not be a very long and interesting post. All I’ve done all year is work, look for a new job and fail at it, edit Power Of Friendship 1, complete and edit Power Of Friendship 2, write Saving Christmas, write Tori Susan Evans 1, do some work on other stories, organize my story plans and stuff. Not exactly an eventful year. The best thing that happened this year was finally going to see Backstreet Boys in concert, seeing McFly and going to the Film and Comic Con. And discovering the coolest and funniest website in the world. That Guy With The Glasses.com.
As it’s also the end of the first decade of this millennium, I’ve also been thinking about my decade. Ten years ago I was 13. I was in high school, doing my SATS and choosing what I wanted to do for GCSE’s. Within ten years I’ve done my GCSE’s, went to college to do child care, got thrown off the course in the second year, did a few months of an E2E programme before going to a different college to do IT and GCSE English and Maths retakes. Then it was a year of Unemployment before I got a job in retail. And then three years in retail. In these ten years I’ve had ideas for some of my stories that have been written and rewritten, written loads of fan fiction and realised that I wanted to be published. And to think that at the start of the decade I had a huge block and didn’t think I’d ever write a story again. It’s strange to think of the things you can’t imagine life without and realise they weren’t around at the start of the decade. Things like IPODS, IPHONES, You Tube, Facebook and Sky+. Shows like the X-Factor, Top Gear and Doctor Who. All started or were brought back during this decade. It makes you wonder what will happen in the next ten years and what we’d have then that you couldn’t imagine life without that right now we’re living without.
I really need some sort of challenge in my life. 2010 is a new year and a new decade, and it’s about time I did something to change my life. To get me out of the rut my life is in. Get out of retail, out of living with my parents and get out there into the world. I have no idea what I’m gonna do, but I’m gonna do it. I hope.
