apparently my blog-writing skills are amazing lol and people envy them...
and also i am apparently a good writer.
both these things are weird to me for different reasons.
i write my blog out of frustration/excitement/need to rant. i dont think its amazing or that i write lots, although i've discovered i do blog alot!
a few people have told me that i'm a good writer. my english teachers said i have a good essay style and creative flow...whatever that means. but i dont have an ambition to be a writer so it feels weird when people say i am good at it because its not a talent or skill i was aiming to be good at.
i'm not blogging about this because i want to show off, i just wanted to share that i do like writing in my blog. its a way for me to let out my emotion and to feel like the world is listening. its good that i write well because that means people can understand what i'm saying....at least most of the time!
on a different subject the floods are still going on, abingdon made the national bbc1 news tonight. the river thames is set to burst its banks some point tonight apparently. which means we may have house guests since some family friends of ours live at the end of caldecott road, right where the ock joins the thames...not so nice.
pj, mum and i walked into town this afternoon to get hot chocolate and also to go check out how high the thames was getting. hehe flooding really brings people out to see whats going on.
i'm praying that this rain is just god getting it all out the way before new wine which is in two weeks. otherwise it could be an interesting week!
i'm also praying about the dinner and dance, preperations have come to a halt, hopefully it'll all work itself out soon as we need to get letters/invites out to people asap. please pray that we can do that!
anyway i'm going to chat online about the weather a bit more (how very british of me?!) and then go to bed, am tired since i didnt sleep well last night coz it rained :(
much love xxx

a long time ago i had a blog post where i talked about the blogs my readers had. you, having commented the most on my blog, got the top spot, as you remember. i said it then and i'll say it again: your blog is wonderful to read. you say you just write and rant with the emotions you feel - and that's why i love your blog.
ben and i are writers, we put effort into each post to make sure it reads perfectly and memorably (except for my awful last post - expect a full wales-trip post soon!). i'm not saying you don't put effort into it, but you just sit and write about how you feel. you don't hide it or make it look pretty, you just tell us what's going on inside your head, and it's that truth and emotion that makes me love reading your blog! :)
thankyou :) i enjoy writing it so expect my blog to continue for a while!
