QotD: Endings

Do you think it's true that "All good things must come to an end?"

 

Oh Vox. Voxy voxy voxy voxy vox. You've set yourself up for a fall here haven't you?

Well.

Of course it's true. Of course it's true, but that's good, that's a good thing in itself. ALL things must pass. Bad stuff ends as well as good stuff.

And sometimes an ending turns out to just be the end of the beginning, and sometimes an ending pushes a beginning into beginning. Endings are cool. Endings rock.

What am I trying to say?

Vox, I'm off.

If you'd like to keep up with me, then follow me over here. Loads of the cool kids are there already. And as an incentive I'm about to post an absolutely hilarious* story about condoms.

 

* may or may not be absolutely hilarious.

Yeah, I really owe you guys a blog

HELLO!

Sorry, I know, I've gone all quiet. Nothing's happening that's why. I'm sober. I was sober for all of May (apart from a very small Bucks Fizz on - when else? - Eurovision) and I think I might stay that way. I'm only making an exception for toasts. And my birthday and Christmas. Otherwise - it's over.

Some stuff about not drinking:

When you learn to drink in this country, you are generally still a child (I'm guessing the average is about 15/16?) I wouldn't base any of the rest of my life on the way I felt when I was sixteen, so why would I base this huge important massive part of my life on it? Idiot.

When you are drinking (as much as I do/did) then you're either a) drunk b) horribly hungover or c) slightly hungover - the worst bit - when you are paranoid and depressed and you can't work out way, so you have a drink to feel better and then you are back to a) again. How can you make any sort of decision about sobriety when you are in one of these three states? You can't.

After about three or four weeks something really weird starts to happen. The world is still horribly shit but you suddenly see these tiny little glimmers of hope. Really small things make you happy all of a sudden, like the bus turning up earlier than you expected or remembering to bring your lunch to work.

It works. It's good. Give it a try!
