So...I haven't come on here for a while.

I'm playing football again which is fun.

University is somewhat horrible, I think I chose the wrong specialisation which is slightly worrying.

Recently I've gotten really into Sherlock Holmes.

Mostly because of the new BBC series but the canon is awesome too.

Hm. I was thinking about the Kinsey scale the other day.

Well, only because my friends brought it up.

I don't understand why, but some of them felt the need to clarify that they were definitely Kinsey zero.

Now, I don't know what I am.

This is what I was thinking about.

I reckon I am a two/three or an X.

I'm not sure though.

Attaching a number to my sexuality implies that I like people and am interested in relationships and other such tedious things.

This is the problem, I think that I like guys about the same amount as girls. Maybe more, hence the two/three rather than a set number.

The only thing is that the amount I like people is potentially zero.

Studies on sexuality and defining it must be read.

The Poem

Doctor Who Crossover: The Long Three

A Study in Seduction

In the Steppes of Central London

Impossible Loyalties

I haven't posted on here for a long time.
To be honest, I had completely forgotten about it.
What with exams, then Christmas, then New Year.

I got my exams results a while back.
A+, A+, A, A-, which is considerably better than the first semester (A+, A-, B+, B).
Then again I actually bothered to study for the second semester.
So that got me into my specialisation which is good.

Christmas was the same as usual.
Awkward conversations about what Christmas is really about with my mother.
She thinks that only Christians should celebrate it.
I believe that there isn't a god. At least, I think I do.
But hey, life goes on.

I spent New Years on a beach up north and it was pretty good.
But I wasn't properly awake for it.
But five days away with my friends was good.

Right now I'm working on Pokemon papercraft, unicycling and juggling.
I need to make a Rube-Goldberg machine this holiday though.
It will be awesome.

So that is my life since I last posted.
That made it sound as if someone actually reads this.
Hah.

Annonymity (sp?)

Set a new juggling best yesterday. Fifty-two.
I'm still using a size one ball so I reckon that's pretty good.

Now I was thinking, I don't write this blog under my real name.
Sam was my nickname a long time ago, but noone that I know now uses it.
I do strive to remain annonymous on the internet.
I don't want people who know me in real life to know what I'm thinking, nor do I want them to know what I do.
So I wonder, how many people try to be someone else online?
And by someone else I mean same personality, same everything, just a different name and more open about sharing things about yourself.
Is it sad that I have noone to talk to?
I suppose so. But I don't really mind.

There used to be someone I talked to a lot.
Used to text me all the time, talk to me a school.
We were good friends.
What changed?
Senior year there was these girls.
Same situation both times.
He liked her, she liked him, but they never went out or anything.
And I was convienently forgotten about.
We went to uni, and we're doing the same degree.
But he got a girlfirend and yep, you guessed it, no more hanging out with him.
I do miss it sometimes.
But I'll get used to it. I'll live. People change.

There was a study.
Apparently, people only really have five close friends at a time.
And when they get into a relationship, one friend is dropped.
I guess this time it was me.
Oh well. Live goes on. Hopefully..

Football and fitness

So taking a year off football was a bad idea.
Before this year I would train or play at least four times a week, but more often it was six.
And then in the off season/summer holidays I would play squash.
So I was fairly fit.
Now, after a year off doing fuck all exercise I have gotten really unfit.
Great.
So I decided to do the Couch to 5K program thing.
I started at week three though, because I'm not that unfit.
Well, I'm really unfit for a football player but yea...
I mean week one was one minute walking alternated with a minute and a half of walking.
So yea, I skipped a couple of weeks.
Now I'm on week five. And I'm doing okay.
It's not killing me.
Yet.
So hopefully this time next month I'll be able to run at least five kilometres without stopping.
I do know my route.
And hopefully after that I can do my 7.5K route.
And then by Christmas, the 10K route that i have in mind.

It feels good to have a goal.
Yes, yes it does.

I have exams in five-ish weeks.
Maybe I should make them a goal too.
Hmm...or not. I reckon I'll pass easy.

Oh yea! I forgot to write about the football part.
I need to find a wall that I can practise passing against to improve my ball control.
Especially with my right foot.
I used to be really good a dribbling and shooting so I need to work on those again.
And I've started practising juggling.
My record is forty-six.
Which doesn't sound like much, but I'm using a size one ball.
So it is quite a lot really.
I needs to get me a size five ball though so I can practise properly.

Hasta luego,
Sam

These are a few of my favourite things...

All the things/people I really, really like/am a fan of;
1. Coffee. Can not survive without it.
2. Heavy music. I do listen to other things but right now, I'm really going for the loud stuff.
3. Comedians; Russell Howard, Dylan Moran, Eddie Izzard, Adam Hills, Jimmy Carr, Michael McIntyre, David Mitchell.
4. Football. Eight years of it later, in the mud, sun and rain, and I stilll get exciting for games.
5. Footballers. Don't care what club (unless they're Man U) as long as they're good; Xabi Alonso, Fernando Torres, Ryan Giggs (the one exception), Joe Cole, Joe Hart, Xavi, Cesc Fabregas, etc...I'll probably do another post just on footballers.
6. Liverpool FC. My first love is Liverpool but I have a soft spot for Chelsea because some people are just a bad influence.
7. Anberlin. First band I ever really liked, and the only band I still like from back then.
8. Rubik's cubes. Because in all reality I'm a nerd.
9. Mathematics. Again, me=nerd. Also, its only thing that I ever though I was good at.
10. Walking in the rain. Hardly anyone else is out and its just relaxing.
11. Harry Potter. Loved it since I was nine.
12. Books. The type that I like create a whole new world that I can just get lost in.
13. Drawing. I like doing it but I'm not particularly good at it.
14. Languages. I don't speak any other than English, but they still intrigue me. Especialy ancient ones.

I shall continue this. Its rather theraputic thinking of what I really like as opposed to things that make me worry..

Memories which make me smile

So I haven't written anything in a while.
Mostly because I've been busy with uni and other stuff.

But recently, I've started writing lists again.
In particular a bucket list and of things that I can't help but smile at when I remember them.
I started the bucket list because I thinght I would be good to know what I want to achieve in life and I'll have something to aim for.
Hopefully it'll motivate me a bit, because so far it's all achievable though of couse some things are harder than others.
So far I have forty things. But I'm still working on it.

The idea for the second list kind of hit me one day when I was bored in a lecture.
See, I have a habit of remembering things that I could have done better or things that I should have said and it just gets me down.
So I thought for me to be happier in life, I should try to remember the good things that have happened.
And then when I'm depressed I can look at it an remember that life isn't all that bad really, even though it seems like it sometimes.

But something I found slightly odd was how infrequently my freiend appear on this list.
I haven't figured out why this is yet.
But I will.

Also I still haven't started writing those stories that I had ideas for.
I suppose they'll have to wait for the summer break or NaNoWriMo or something.
And on the subject of summer break I need to start my job search soon.
Yes, yes I do.

Hasta luego,
Sam
