Quote of the day (Thanks Peter!)
Its the thought that counts, but money helps!

Vicki, a friend of mine at university told me yesterday that she saw someone on a bus, who looked exactly like me (the person not the bus!). I t kinda got me thinking... I know other people have said this before and indeed I have met a so-called double (and they thought it was bad with just one of me! Hehehe). The resemblence was striking. I wonder if anyone else has met or heard of their 'double'...

Peter, one of the people I am living with said to me earlier...
'Richard, you know how you're kind and everything...'
'Yes Peter, what now?'
'Can I use your computer while you are out?'
Now, I must tell you about Peter's computer. Last time anyone checked it was riddled with viruses and runs at about 0.24% efficiency, so I was hardly going to say yes. Rapier-like was the reply in its subtlety,
'I may be kind, but i'm not stupid!'
Ah, well, Peter maybe next time!!!

What was the best thing before sliced bread?

I am probably not what you might consider your typical student. I don't drink or smoke and I don't spend all my time in bed sleeping. I even get my assignments in on time (I can hear the jeers of my fellow students already!). One thing I pride myself on is being different (not 'special' as my friend Mark likes to put it). Its the little things that make us so unique. In my case its all the little things that make me strange!!

A few days ago I moved in with the Roberts Family in Stoke, as my parents, whom I usually live with, have gone to Australia for three months, leaving me to fend for myself in this cruel, cruel world. You may know two of the Irish Family Roberts(son) as Ally, the oldest brother, and my room-mate has his own blog (40 bicycles) and Peter, the youngest of the brothers also has his own blog (Bulbous Blog). So far it has been fun, with the excetion of having a hideously bad cold. The fun bit about that is being able to watch the carnage that ensues as it is passes on to various members of the family (sorry Ally).
Just recently I have been suffering from another bout of depression, though this time I have opted not to take anti-depressants. There are many people who will, fortunately, not know what depression is like and for you here follows a brief description of the symptoms I have... Drowsiness but the inability to sleep, grogginess, succeptability to illness and irritablity along with an aversion to bright lights, indeed I'm squinting as I write this.
I have tried to see the lighter side of this situation and am slowly suceeding (whoever said humour as a defence mechanism doesn't work is wrong!!)- go me!! But "Enough, already!" I hear you cry, "quit making us depressed!" So I shall leave that topic alnoe for now...

Quote of the day...
"Please, sir! May I be excused, my brain is full!"

Well hello from this Englishman's Brain. It appears I have joined the blogging elite which includes the likes of Bill Gates, William Shatner and Yoda. Actually I made the last one up, but one thing you will notice about this site is my light-hearted, brighter view on life.
I am a 20 year old Christian, studying Psyhology here, in England. My life has been very up and down recently in a funny sort of way and I feel my experiences may make you laugh, or at the very least smile. I will usually be brutally honest about myself and, often, honestly brutal (yes, there is a difference, I checked). You will see the inner workings and true thoughts, though often manic as this is what goes on in this Englishman's Brain...
