Something about nothing 3.... 8 years on

Recently, I have logged back into this after 8 years and had a bit of a cringe when I looked at the blog entries I made when I was 21.

From what I can update from those:
1. I did get that degree and made a career with it!

2. That boyfriend I mentioned is no more (no sad tale to tell, just the boy I was with at 21 so the chances of that lasting were slim to none anyway ha!) though I am now in the house buying process with my boyfriend now.

3. I'm still pretty pessimistic but now I like to make sure I give a good wack at things I want to do which is why I have come back here because despite writing pretty much all of my life, I never really gave it a proper go. Why not use a community of people who can tell me where I can improve right? (Also gives me something to do whilst my boyfriend is taking up my whole front room playing D&D online with his friends)

I guess that is pretty much everything I've done in 8 years summed up in not so many words.
