This post comes to you via an exasperating 2 day hunt for the log in to the original "Wilde Stab" blog. I set up an email account especially for it and Im buggered if I can remember what it is. I cannot find a trace of that account anywhere so i have decided to start afresh. If you are interested in what i wrote under my own name before, click here.
The other day I was going through some old documents, trying to get rid of the crap that seems to accumulate there, when I came across a half written blog post. It was dated the middle of June last year and detailed the varying changes that had happened in my life in a relatively short space of time.
I wrote my last post in December the previous year. Id enjoyed the few blogs Id done (under my own name and pseudonyms) but decided in the new year that I was going to write something different. Something that might end up being something. I didn’t post about my decision, but told the few people that asked me why the posts had dried up.
By the middle of June last year, I decided to give up on the alternative writing and, due to it being unutterably shit, consigned it to the recycle bin and decided to take up blogging again.
Then, life got in the way a bit.
Towards the end of May, Hell got a little chilly when I got engaged to Mr Alex. Hell is planning to permanently freeze over on May 1st when we actually get married. There isn’t too much to do that far in advance for a wedding except look at venues, look for a dress and have a coronary over the cost of it all. This was all going well and I had started to write my blog again when I was offered a new job.
In my last job (in sales and marketing) I had a great laugh and worked with some great people, but I had lost my taste for it. I wanted something new, exciting, varied and busy. And boy did I get it. I started my new job with an events company in the height of the summer season, so not only was I learning the ropes, but was having to learn when no one had time to teach me. I was very, very much in at the deep end. Those first few months I was working every hour that god sent, and then emailing him asking for a few more. It was mental. I worked, ate and slept but it was worth it. I’ve found my feet now and I love it.
Once the silly season in work was over, the Wedding preparations started in earnest and then another busy peak in work and then Christmas and the rest is history which, as Alan Bennett so rightly put it, is just one fucking thing after another.
So that kind of explains where this blog has been for the past 13 months. Ive still been writing, just nothing that you will ever see. Unless, that is, you really, really upset me.
Think of me as the modern day Vogon
