I recently received, well, at Christmas, a little book that consists of letters well-known names have written to their sixteen year-old bodies. What I found was a familiar and repetitive theme throughout the pages. So much advice they gave themselves regarded the importance of working hard; of not giving up just because obstacles occur (they cannot be avoided so just learn how to deal with them); of learning from mistakes because ultimately it's how we pick ourselves back up that's significant; of not marrying every rockstar you ever date (uh-huh, quite a few touched on this!).

What I found was inspiration. Advice that I could take myself, or alternatively ignore and learn life via my own path. What I'll do with this knowledge is unknown. What I'll do with this knowledge is beyond me and, it's a little exciting.

(all other candidates were fairly serious in their approach to the christmas quiz. i, however, took a comical stance)..

Q: Where does the word 'Yule' come from?
A: Oh, that was just a dyslexic's attempt at spelling you'll ...how's this question related to Christmas?

staying up 'til the early hours of the morning laughing at the ridicule that is Scary Movie (2) + arriving home mid-day the next day for a long ass shower followed by a massive sleep (having left something at the hostess' house) = classic.

I can't lie - he, for sure, is a contributing factor to my watching this programme repeatedly. Just can't comprehend why his biting people is something so feared!?

and with that, yes, only that, i'm so bloody chuffed, haha!


However, NB: get a life.
