Just thought I’d point it out: it’s been one of those years.
More accurately, actually, it’s been dramatically unlike one of those years.
In a nutshell, I found something a bit like a direction in January 2005. This was a dramatic change: before then, I’d been floating around as a biology student, then a freelance science writer, biology tutor and web designer… and all along, a band member and all-round self-assessment-tax-form-dreader/dodger.
There was this a constant feeling of not knowing what the hell was going on, brought on by the fact that I didn’t have a clue what the hell was going on.
It wasn’t all bad. Vague directionlessness can be a good thing. But more often than not, this was vague directionlessness in a bad way.
Anyway: in the blink of an eye, things seem to be a different. At the start of this year, I got a job here in Edinburgh and it was good. I’ve lived here for about 11 years, so it was about bloody time.
And soon, I’m moving to London. I’m going to be starting a new job, and a bit of a new life. A bit bloody exciting.
So, amongst other things, I’ll aim to use this blog to keep a track of what happens next… for anyone who’s interested, for me, for the sake of it.
Just so you know.
