Yep I've joined the bandwagon...

Yep I've joined the bandwagon...
Okay, okay! I've finally decided that this is the best way to keep people up to date with what is going on in the life and trials of RandomGoth. I've had a number of blog spots before but never really used them properly, tended to post quizilla results etc etc or just ignored them. However I've matured slightly and feel that I should fingers crossed be able to keep this one lol.
MY WEBSITE
My website is currently undergoing a major rehaul and revamp, which I hope to have finished by the end of this year. I am streamlining it and creating a more mature design to it as well as removing those awful frames and clashing colours! I've learnt alot about site desgin over the last year or two and I'm trying to apply them to my site.
  • Current status: 4 and a half sections to finish - they are 'About me', 'photos', 'Young Carer', 'Links' and 'Enjoy Meat?'
  • Need to get my guest book up an running again
  • Young Carers section may take awhile and consequently might launch the rest of the site while I work on this section.
  • Considering a section on 'Self-harm' but this is very much on the drawing board.
  • A news section is a possibility although I may just link to this blog spot as I can edit it anywhere.
  • When I turn 18 at Christmas, I'm going to sign up for Googles 'Adsense' in the hope that my site might actually generate enough to buy a proper domain name. *fingers crossed*
  • Need to re-do Pete's memorial page

SCHOOL

I am so heartly sick of school, I can't wait to get out and start making a name for myself. I'm currently working thru my UCAS application with the aim of doing 'English Language and Linguistics'. I've been visiting University open days around the country, top of my list is currently Swansea Uni as I was not overly enamoured with Portsomouth Uni.

School is cracking the whip again, coursework deadlines and exams loom hard on the horizon and this world weary traveller is dragging her feet. As a result work on my website is expected to slow for a while as I desperatly try to meet these inhuman deadlines!

LIFE

So what else is happening in the life of RandomGoth? Well plenty, probably too much! I recently got into a relationship with the very lovely Thomas Moon after nearly two years of flirting with each other and I couldn't be happier with him. If I get his permisson I might post a piccy of the two of us together, I might even just post it *evil grin*

Bass guitar is going slowly, school work and website have been getting in the way, hopefully with a couple of deadlines coming up I'll have a little bit more time to practice. I shall keep you guys updated on this.

Baptism is also on the books, I'm hoping its gonna happen soon, provisional date I think of 23rd November...but its very provisional. I'm excited about taking this step in my faith, I feel I have come to the point where I want to make that public display of my faith to show others what Jesus means to me. Prayers for this would be most welcomed.

Gap Year planning is going very slowly, I'm currently looking at two organisations doing christian gap years. They are http://www.thefoundry.org.uk/xl/home.htm and http://www.xlp.org.uk/index.htm . I did apply to Project Trust but sadly was not selected by them, however a number of the friends I made on selection have been and I wish them the very best of luck and pray that God will bless them on their amazing journeys. I pray that they might be safe and sound in the knowledge that God is watching over them as they fundraise and as they prepare to leave next September. I had great fun on selection with you guys so God bless and may you come back enriched by the experience.

I'm gonna leave you with some lyrics that I feel depict what I feel at the moment. (The silly thing messed the formatting up!)

SUM 41 - In Too Deep

The faster we're falling, We're stopping and stalling. We're running in circles again, Just as things we're looking up, You said it wasn't good enough. But still we're trying one more time.

Maybe we're just trying to hard. When really it's closer than it is too far

Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep, All the thoughts in my head, instead of going under. Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep, All the thoughts in my head, instead of going under. Instead of going under.

Seems like each time I'm with you I loose my mind,Because I'm bending over backwards to relate. It's one thing to complain, But when you're driving me insane, Well then I think it's time that we took a break.

Maybe we're just trying to hard. When really it's closer than it is too far.

Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep, All the thoughts in my head, instead of going under. Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep, All the thoughts in my head, instead of going under.Instead of going under.

Instead of going under.

I can't sit back and wonder why.It took so long for this to die.And I hate it when you fake it.You can't hide it you might as well embrace it. So believe me it's not easy. It seems that something's telling me,

I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep, All the thoughts in my head, instead of going under. Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep, All the thoughts in my head, instead of going under.

Instead of going under. instead of going under. instead of going under again. instead of going under. instead of going under again. instead of going under again.

------------------------------------

Why does everything always happen at the same time? Then Snowball and create monster problems for me, usually ending up in a mammoth argument between me and my mom!

If there was ever a time I felt like running, it would be now but I'm gonna stay and face the music I guess. My life is so messed up! Gah I'm whining again! Anyhoo.

Okay, thats all for now folks, check back soon for more updates.

May God bless you and inspire you always!

Yours in randomness!

Hey Random ;-),
It's good to see you blogging. I must admit I prefer blogging to writing our newsletter!

Keep hanging in there with the bass.

Why does everything happen at once? I wish I knew, I only know that it usually does! Not much help, but at least you're not on your own :-) Keep hanging onto and pressing into the one you can always trust - Jesus - he'll always be there with you through it all, loving you and encouraging you on.

I'm really excited to hear about you going to get baptised - I'll sure be praying for you. Let us know how it goes.

God bless you,
Love,
Steve

Hey Kerri! Cool blog, I didn't know you were taking the bass. That's really cool. My brother recently got to play the bass with an 80's Christian Rock band called Petra. I thought that was well cool. Anyway I'm sure I will probably see you around!
God Bless
