About

This here is a blog, well mostly a blog, its a blog with extra bits tacked on the side, thrills and spills for all the family. That’s right, you can think of this as Disney World, but without the suspect burgers, sweaty costumes and lame rides. Itch & Be Merry hmm? Firstly I know its a dreadful use of English but I don’t particularly care, how many of you verbalise an itch, you all have without giving it much thought. English is messy mongrel language that has always bulged and progressed through misuse. So lets not get too anal about it now. And the meaning, well the itch is my nasty eczema and the merry be my prozac. 2 Things which have shaped my behaviour and by extension can most likely be found between the lines of anything I write on here.

I suppose now is as good a time as any for the biog stuff. I was born in Warrington, England moving to Sheffield 6 years into being. Here i have laid ever since only shifting slightly to study in Leeds and occasionally vacate. I suffered from eczema early on, at around about 3 years and spent a significant time in hospital, this probably didn’t help my social skills and I have also suffered from social anxiety since childhood and have yet to shake it off. Making matters even more complicated is being gay, which is difficult enough without shyness adding to the veil of darkly spun secrets. It’s not the act I have a problem with, its the whole effort involved with meeting like minded folk; I can count my number of relationships on one hand. I work a lot with these new fang-led computers, both developing software and also dynamic websites. I also hate writing about myself, and despite the numerous time’s i’m forced to do it for counselling i do not get any better at it.

Writing a blog is therapeutic, and I’d recommend it to most people. It really doesn’t matter if no one reads it, just the act of writing one is a good thing. Unfortunately I tend to go blank from time to time, so this blog will no doubt suffer from some gaps in writing.

N.B, this entry may change from time to time.
