Leaving the cocoon - Moving out... Well sort of.

Hey guys!

I have some big news, I moved out.

Technically I haven't moved out moved out, but I've moved out of my old bedroom and into a bedroom out in the back yard. This means that I now have more responsibility and will eventually have to do everything for myself (like cooking dinner every night and cleaning).

At the moment however the Internet out here is a bit iffy as the wireless isn't strong enough and the wireless extender doesn't seem to like my computer, which means that I have to use my iPod touch for Internet. That means that I may not be able to do much pretty stuff for the blog... But other than that, it should be all good. Possibly you won't even notice.

In other news, it's almost my dad's birthday which is on the 7th Of April and he will be 42. Then the day after that is Easter Sunday. Then after that is my sisters birthday on the 22nd of April and she'll be 17, God that makes me feel old... 20 might not really be all that old but it feels it, also I rather like being 19.

Well may finish up here, oh and don't forget to smile you guys, it's good for you.

I'll blog again soon

Ashleigh xoxo

Reflections of a Special Kind

Doesn't matter the distance, as long as there is a way to communicate.
(source:Favim.com)

Hi, this isn't really an actual post but I felt like writing an entry anyway.

Hope you guys are happy and well, I am well-ish at the moment. I found out I do not have the Flu... phew, but yeah I just didn't feel well but i feel much better.

I just wanted to write a post to say for me computers have been a bit of a life saver. Without a computer, I would have never met most of my friends... Yeah, i know it sounds seedy/creepy/you name it, but I met a lot of my close friends on a website called Livewire. Livewire is an Australian website founded by the Starlight Children's Foundation (don't worry, it gets screened to keep the creepy people out) and it is for people with Serious, Chronic Illness and Disabilities. I don't go on so much any more but I still talk to a few of the ones I am really close to. If I hadn't of met those people, I probably wouldn't be as happy friendship wise as I am today. I used to get really depressed because I had no friends, but now I feel i can say I do.

So what i'm saying is that it doesn't matter where the person is, as long as you have a means of communication you can still consider them your friend. Sometimes, your best friend is not someone you spend forever with in the shops/movies/wherever, it's the person who is there for you no matter how you feel, the one that you would do anything for.

So if any of those people I am talking about reads this, I truly thank-you for being my friend.

Thank-you and you'll see me when i post my next post.

Neglected blog is Neglected...

I Love my Readers!

Hi! Its been ages since I wrote a blog, i guess i should post more often. Hope you all are happy and healthy. I am sick at the moment, i may just be a hypochondriac and all but I think I have the Flu... so I'm not happy. Feel sore all over, dizzy and really tired. I want health, is anyone able to give me any???

My last health I wrote about seems to be fixed, so that's good. All I needed to do is lower the dose of a tablet. I had a blood test which however, showed that one of my tablets doses could be increased so we did that, again all good.

In other news, If I am good this month, I may be able to move out of my bedroom and into the room out the back. So far, I don't think I'm doing to well but I may be wrong. So lets see how that ends up.

I am in the process of starting up another blog, it's called "Awesomly Kawaii" and I'm going to post Kawaii, which in japanese translates to "cute", things that I find on the internet. Hopefully you guys will check it out when I'm finished setting it up.

GAH!!! DAMMIT,
I just noticed a Spelling error in my title of that blog...
GAH!!! DAMMIT!

!BLOG UPDATE NEWS!

From now on, I am going to put more pictures in my blog posts. I read somewhere that people like pictures, so I'm going to please them by posting pictures... OK?

Lastly, if you ever want to suggest things to improve the blog, you can contact me at:

Some Good and Bad news!

Hey Guys!

Bet you guys have been wondering where I’ve been. Truthfully, I’ve been busy doing other things (which may or may not involve thinking about a possible future blog redesign). I’ve also been busy playing around with Photoshop and learning new things to do with it.

This post however, is about my Health.

Since around November, I haven’t been feeling very well. I’ve been light-headed, dizzy, tired and all sorts of bad unwell feelings. Well today I finally went to the Doctor and may have found out what’s wrong with me.

I haven’t mentioned this in the blog yet, but I take medication for Mental Health issues. So around November, I had increased one of my medications which could possibly be why I’ve been feeling sick.

You may not know this, but in the brain there is a special chemical called Serotonin. Unofficially it’s “The Happy Chemical” as it helps make you feel happy. That means if you have low levels of Serotonin, it is quite possible you may have Depression or some related illness. Well, If I do have Serotonin Syndrome, I have too much of it and my brain can’t cope. That possibly could be what is making me feel sick. I won’t go into too much detail but it isn’t a good thing to have and means I need to get rid of one of my medication to fix it.

Good news, I should feel better after getting rid of that tablet. However, the bad news is getting rid of this tablet might affect my moods and make me not be so stable. Well I guess my blood test tomorrow should be able to tell me what I need to know. Then I should be able to get better.

Sorry about the seriousness of the blog but I wanted to write a blog and this was the only thing I could think of. I Pinky Promise I’ll write a happier blog next time.

Thanks for reading

Short Story I Wrote

(TheRainKisser is my username on a writing website)

 
It was all too much.

A sense of loss washed over me as I watched the events unfold in front of me. I was at the park with my Mum, Dad and younger Brother when it happened. It was something I knew was inevitable, that sooner or later it was going to happen but it still shocked me to tears. My Mum put her head in her hands while my Dad yelled. My Brother rolled his eyes and gave me a look that wondered if I was crazy, or possibly insane. All this was happening and I couldn’t care less…

As I am Bipolar and all I had wanted was that last Potato Chip!

I Know A Girl

I know a girl.

A Beautiful, Kind, Caring, Strong girl.

Though we haven’t known each other long,

I couldn’t imagine life without her.

I can tell her so much, and nothing at all at the same time.

This girl has a dark side, it’s called Depression.

Baring her heart to me I lay in bed in the early hours of the morning,

Promising her she will be alright, that the pain will go.

We may be on opposite sides of the Country,

But I’ll be there as long as she needs me.

One day I’ll be able to give her the hugs she deserves.

I’ll be the Demi to her Selena.

Just perfect in our imperfection.

Thanks for being my friend

Thanks Forever,

Ashleigh

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Hey Guys!

Hope you all had an EPIC Christmas and New Year!
Mine was pretty good. Got some pretty cool presents and spent time with family which was good.


Do any of you guys keep resolutions?

I don't usually, but this year mine is to finish writing a story. I don't usually get mine finished so this year I'm going to change that and finally get to the end of one.


On a more serious note, It's almost the one year anniversary of the flood. It's only five more days and it will be a year since the January 10 flood... pretty scary.
