Nuggets

I am very excited. Not because I have just got a job in the centre of Lancaster (although I am looking forward to that), but because I have just been into my parents' attic and found my globe. And it still lights up! I am moving in 2 weeks, and I am taking the globe with me. It will have pride of place in my study, er I mean spare bedroom.

I will need to buy a desk for my sudden increase in paraphernalia. The one I am currently spending my days working from is covered in various half-written drafts of articles, pens, lighters, lots of books & magazines, and usually a red wine bottle. I am currently torn between starting a new article, going through my first draft of another, pitching some story ideas some where, or ploughing through all my stuff and re-packing the boxes that have fallen to bits. I have no idea where most of my things are as most of it has been packed away since mid-January.

Since moving back to my parents (note to self - NEVER do this again. Sleep in a shop doorway instead) I have found lots of my belongings I'd totally forgotten about. Such as a crate full of Sylvanian Families, and my badge, gem and stamp collections. I got quite excited about this and Martin said I was a nerd. To punish him I'm taking them with me. They will surface every time I've had too much wine and I think everyone will think they are interesting too.

As well as thinking about writing articles, nearly starting to write articles and talking to the guinea pigs, I have also been drawing a fairy, reading everything and trying to calmly explain to my mother that no, I haven't put weight on because the scales say I am exactly the same as when I got here in May.

I am slowly becoming a writer. At least in the sense that I should probably be in some sort of therapy and I drink too much wine. I'm off to play with my globe.
