27 years old, in Sheffield, UK.
I love making new friends from whatever background.People interest me and you can always find me listening to some old lady at the bus stop telling me her life story.Animal cruelty makes me SICK!! I guess I can take life too seriously sometimes, but a sense of humour is so important to me too. On those bad days when everything's going wrong, just laugh it off, listen to some good music and everything will always work out! I HATE sprouts! Bad things happen in life. It's how we learn, deal and move on that's important. The past will always be there, but tomorrow's a new chance, so I like to take that and run! I wish I took more interest in sports! I believe in doing good. No matter how small or big, one act of kindness to a stranger in the street can affect that person a lot.There's nothing better than a smile from a stranger. I believe love has no boundaries, be it sex, religion, colour, whatever! Life is about the journey. Sure, we don't all get along, but we might as well try. Afterall, we're all stuck with each other. I like to make a difference. If I can help, I will.

What a week it's been here, full of arguments, tantrums, big decisions and full blown annoyingness!
I'm not gonna go into detail, but it's been like world war 3 here and I'm not sure where I live anymore. I seem to be living out of bags, and have been for ages now. Me and Anthony are still doing well and planning on moving into a flat asap, but until then, I'm kinda drifting from place to place. Mum hasn't kicked me out or anything AND I STRESS THAT, but for reasons I wont discuss, I'm finding it very difficult to stay here. Things are just up in the air right now. I miss Mum, I miss my cat, and I miss my freedom. Okay, I do have freedom, but it sure doesn't feel like it sometimes. I'm at Mum's now and probably for the next couple of days, but after that, who knows?!
I know I've said this before, but I find it hard talking about this stuff, but that's what's happening in my life right now, and that's what I have to write about.
Besides all of this, I'm looking VERY forward to next Friday as I have an appointment with my support worker to help me back into work. He's amazed that after 2 years, I've approached him for help to get me back to work. Usually, they were chasing me to give me help..lol! As I WANT to start back at work and end the money that I get from the government, I get a lump sum of money to help me, plus £40 a week on top of my wages, and maybe even working tax credit. It's all looking bright! I don't care what job I do at the moment either, so it's all good. Aside from this, I've been looking into voluntary work lately, and this job is REALLY nagging at me.
'Appropriate adults support young people and vulnerable adults detained in police custody. Full accredited training given and out of pocket expenses re-imbursed.'
Obviously, I wont get paid for that, but it's niggling away at me and I'm not sure why. I'd LOVE a job like that though. I may not seem the type, but I love a challenge! hehe! I'll letcha know how it goes.
What's with all the changes to journals lately too? This all looks very strange and new..lol!
I have to go through all the comments and links to add them to my sidebar section, and I also have to get everyone back on alerts 'cos I'm missing you all..hehe! Obviously, my time online isn't as much as it used to be, but I'm seeing that as maybe a good thing. I do miss singing a lot though. Maybe I'll get back to that sometime.
Until then, PLEASE watch this video and listen to this song. It's SO GOOD for cheering you up on a bad day. I first heard it this morning, and it seemed to be singing about my life as it is at the moment. I'm stunned..lol! (Also, as a point of interest, this band (Mcfly) have contacted me via youtube in the past and they like my videos. AWESOME! hehe!)
When everything is going wrong And things are just a little strange Its been so long now you’ve forgotten how to smile And overhead the skies are clear but it still seems to rain on you And your only friends all have better things to do
When you’re down and lost And you need a helping hand When you’re down and lost along the way Oh just tell yourself I’ll, I'll be ok
When things are only getting worse And you need someone to take the blame When your lover's gone there’s no one to share the pain You’re sleeping with the tv on and you’re lying in an empty bed All the alcohol in the world would never help me through it again
When you’re down and lost And you need a helping hand When you’re down and lost along the way Just try a little harder Try your best to make it through the day Oh just tell yourself I’ll, I'll be ok
You’re not alone [You’re not alone] You’re not alone [You’re not alone] You’re not alone
Just tell yourself I’ll, I'll be ok Oh just tell yourself, I’ll, I'll be ok Won’t you tell yourself, I’ll be ok
When you’re down and lost And you need a helping hand When you’re down and lost along the way Try a little harder Try your best to make it through the day And oh just tell yourself I’ll, I'll be ok I’ll, I'll be ok I’ll, I'll be ok
Hope you're all well, and hopefully catch ya allsoon!

I hope your living situation gets sorted out soon. And good luck with the job hunt! I'm glad you are back with Anthony and it's going well. He'll be a big support now. Hugs..Pam
Sorry to hear things aren't great with your living situation :( I hope you and Anthony find a flat soon xx Good luck with the job thingy. How cool that Mcfly have contacted you through youtube :-)
Ouch on the living situation, been there, and know it's definitely not easy. Wishing you luck on the job prospect. Too cool that you and Anthony are looking for a flat together. Of Course I couldn't hear McFly, but the funny thing was I watched it anyway and then when I scrolled down I found the lyrics, (Super Hugs) How sweet is that! Made my day that you did that and I was able to enjoy it. By the way the lead singer is cute as all get out! When You get a chance looking forward to hearing from you!!! (Hugs) Indigo
((((((((((stevie))))))))))) I hope things get better for you. Wishing you all the best luck in getting a great job you can be happy at. I'm glad you and Ant are doing well. Loved the video, what a great song. Love ya my friend, Cindy xoxoxo
I hope things get better for ya Ste. Things haven't been peachy here either lately. Enjoyed the vid. I needed to hear that. Hugs, D http://journals.aol.com/heavenlybama/journey-to-success
Ste I hope you get settled into a place you feel comfortable living soon. Good luck working with the job counselor. It will be interesting to hear what kind of position you eventually land. Hey, That video of McFly was great! Thanks for sharing that one with us. These guys are good! Sam
hi babe..I sure wish there wasn't an ocean between us because I would offer you a place to stay and clear your head and get your thoughts and life together..I know this is not easy on all of you.. I am always here if you wanna chat okay?? big love Lyn
Hey I've been away from the machine for awhile, too, and I'm not happy with the changes, not at all. But that's how it always happens: when something works just fine AOL can't leave it alone they have to fool around in the works. I hear those towers are going down soon, so sorry to hear, Ste. And I miss your singing, too, enjoyed the vid. Reading that want-d I thought, this is perfect for Ste - it really suits your ability to put people at ease, and that's not just jazzy wording, I think anyone who attracts almost 100 people to read about him as you've done has a great gift relating to folks, especially the vulnerable and lost. Keep us posted, friend. And remember there *are* jobs like that which pay a proper wage. Luv you, CATHY
dont worry hun,life is tough and it only goes to show you can cope with it all,be strong Im here if you want to talk anytime hun anytime. zoe xx http://journals.aol.co.uk/zoepaul6968/ramblings-of-a-married-man
btdt (been there done that) so I somewhat understand Stevie ~ life can be freaking hard at times. These "life lessons" or whatever they are can majorly suck, but I think you are up to it :) Thank you for sharing the words of that song as I can't get You Tube to function till Cindy and I get back up on DSL. It's says a lot doesn't it? The Bard's of old would have liked it also. Hugz, Teresa
Hmmmph! Ready to be nagged at Mr Ste?? Donna just sent me the link to this journal, as I had NO clue that you had started a new one. I kept checking back at your other one, and I do believe that I left a comment telling you I missed you, and hoped you were doing well. All this time you were here, making entries, and didn't even bother to give me your new link! :*( I feel so unloved...
Okay.. end of nagathon! hee I am so glad that you are doing well, and that NOW I do have the link to your new journal (well.. new to ME anyway). I'm going to catch up now with what's going on in your life!
