My audience

According to my 'stats' on here, these are the countries that my readership comes from:

  • United Kingdom
  • United States
  • Germany
  • Denmark
  • Ireland
  • Greece
  • Croatia
  • Philippines
  • Saudi Arabia
  • South Africa
That, to me, is amazing. How do these people find my blog? I only have like 20 blog entries, which is nothing compared to some blogs. I really wish everyone who read would comment then I'd actually believe these stats are true.

Technical difficulties, epiphanies, and more procrastination.

Oh look, it's 3am and I'm not asleep yet. Which can mean only one thing...blog time!

Things are pretty good at the moment. I had a good chat with one of my best friends tonight and realised that best friends are still best friends even if they don't speak for a little while, which is a realisation that might be quite useful soon, as I only have around 15 weeks of university left. I genuinely don't know what I'll do without seeing the people I've met and become so close to every day when we all go our separate ways, and as much as I've moaned about third year being gash, I'll miss it so much. I just hope that what they say about meeting most of your life-long friends at university is true. Ooh, how sentimental.

On a much shallower note, my BlackBerry broke today. And my world has basically crumbled around me ever since. I've become aware that my phone is basically an extension of my person, and that saddens me a bit, because that's pathetic and it's just a piece of technology, but I suppose it's all about keeping in touch with people again.

I've discovered a new favourite form of procrastination. Reading this: One of the funniest blogs ever. Some guy comes out with absolute gems while he's sleep-talking, and his genius wife decided to record everything he says and blog it. My personal favourite is "Your mum's at the door again. Bury me. Bury me deep.". I laughed for days at that.

Another thing keeping me from my dissertation at the moment is the planning of my 21st birthday party. I should mention that my 21st isn't until June, but booking a function room needs to be done ridiculously far in advance. Planning this party is becoming the bane of my life, and if people don't turn up, I'll be cutting all ties with them. An example of how much of a ballache party planning is becoming can be found in what I spent a good hour and half doing tonight. Researching hotel prices on the internet. FOR IN FOUR AND A HALF MONTHS' TIME. Calm the fuck down Emma.

Also worth a mention is the fact that the rugby league season has officially started again, which automatically means that my life is much brighter for the next 8 months.
