It’s been a heck of a few months! I apologise profusely for the neglect I’ve displayed since September. A number of factors are to blame for my tumblr absence, a few of them simply being the stress of being a student enrolled on a course meant for people who are dramatically more intelligent than you are, working three (now two) jobs and generally having no spare time or joy in life.
Christmas is almost upon us and I sat down to reflect the other day and I realised I’ve thrown away the latter part of 2011, my eighteenth year on the planet, being completely miserable. So here’s where I turn things around. No more wasting time trying to fit the mould and be academic, I’m going to live my dreams, whatever they may be. Newcastle University just wasn’t right for me and neither is history.

I’m a flake. That will never change.
