The Creased Pages

At this moment in time, I'm in my bedroom. I'm wearing my big hoodie over my pyjamas and I'm huddled up under my covers. My music is on loud to drown out the terrible voices of people on the karaoke system at the pub up the road. (They're ruining Elvis songs.) But I can still hear the wind howling, even over Dawson's Geek by Busted blasting out my laptop speakers. The scaffolding is still up around my house, so I'm sure the clonking noise I can hear is being made by the wind lifting the planks of wood out of place, and then letting them fall back down against the poles. But still, it's scary. Not quite as scary as it is when it's late at night. But still scary. Also, the rain is pelting against the poles, making hollow, metal sounds. However, this means that there isn't as much rain finding its way to my window as there would be normally, so the photographically artistic snaps of waterfalls of raindrops on the glass will have to wait.

I've still had so much trouble finding something decent to write about on here. I've been out job hunting a lot lately, trekking around the local area handing out CVs, and by the time I've gotten back home, I've been so tired that I just really haven't wanted to try to write anything, because that would involve brain work. Brain work isn't fun when you've got mahoooosive headaches. Plus, I have serious writer's block! But I really wanted to post something, so I thought I'd just do a simple one about the drawings I've done recently!

The social networking world has revolutionised the way we commnicate with each other. But, while it might be good to be able to be in some kind of contact with the outside world 24/7, these sites have brought with them a new way for us all to be judged based on what we do online. How many times have you gone to write a status on Facebook, but then re-worded it a million times in fear of sounding too vain, too moany, too happy, too sad, too attention seeking...? And how many times have you changed your mind on commenting on someone else's status, just in case you upset them with your views, or just to avoid looking like a loser? We've adapted now to try to please other people in order to make sure we're not judged negatively by the people we know (and, sometimes, the people we don't).
