Moving on!

Postby Sweet » Fri 27 May 2005 7:22 pm

Hehe, why did the dragon tune pronoting mobile ringtones singing 'look at me' come to mind then!!!! LOL!! Weird, and if you know what i am talking about im not the only mad one here!!!!!!!

Hehe ... anyway ... car accident aside, head much better im moving on. Had a really bad dream last night though, i was being rushed to theatre after being knocked over as they thought my vision was affected and there i was screaming NO IT WAS LIKE THAT WHEN I GOT HERE!!!!!!!!! Oh man, i think i need new medication!!!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!!

But ... i think that it has knocked some sense into me and im finding more positive things!! hehe. Have also talked to a few of you here which was really nice :) Put a voice to a name and posts on a screen! Was just wondering and im sure that John can fix it, but am i being silly here?!! But i cant add messenger details to profile unless i change the format, and two of them are too small to read! Sooo ... i guess as i cant put them here, i will let you know that i am available on msn and yahoo messenger if you have them and want to chat anytime! LOL!! You may find that i dont shut up though as some here have found out!!! LMAO!!!!!!!! But you are more than welcome to pm me and ill send you the name!

So what has changed for me to write moving on???? I guess the fact that im not taking this blindness very seriously!! Even with everyone telling me i cant see and knowing i cant, i still do all the things i do when i can see and im getting into trouble!! But then why should i change my life?? Blind people do have a life!! But i think getting knocked over by a car (last post) made me realise i have to pay more attention as i could get really hurt here! And i am serious for once here!

But saying this i think i will still do all the tihngs i am doing now, just pay more attention and look after myself more. Noting really changed. I do all the mad things i normally do, i go out clubbing and lose my friends, though this time its because i just cant see them and not because i am falling over intoxicated with drink!!!!!!! I jumped on the back of my friends motorbike though i was dam scared and shut my eyes the whole way round! LOL!! Though why i dont know as i coulndt see anything!! But boy wasnt that fun, i will have to do it again!!!!!!! Hehe i think he thought i was a little insane to say the least, but hey arent we all in our own little way! And i NEVER said i was sane;)

I've been sightseeing down to southend, cornwall and manchester though i have no dam idea where i am and get repeatedly lost!!!!! But hey doesnt that make the adventure more exciting!!!!!!! Hehe! I wanted to get my independence back and it was more fun to be alone, even though i was lost!!! I took photos though so that i can see what i saw when my sight is fixed LMAO!!!!!!!! Why do i get the feeling that they are of a house and a tree and no seaside at all!

I draw a line at driving as im very unsafe lol and ive only just got my licence back but ive been cycling and on dodgems even though i can barely see a few feet hehe, i just hope that people will move before i run them over!!!!!

I've shopped loads, been swimming in the sea down swansea hehe skinny dipping maybe but im keeping quiet for once! So all said as much as i came here last time and complained i have had a great time! I am also sure that when i can see i will have a tan!! Just dont know for sure yet but ive been out loads so im hoping that a little blonde pale celt will have turned brown!! Yea right and pigs fly! I never tan!

So i guess this post is here to try to say that its not all bad. We can move on and do all the things we normally do with just a few changes. There is a lot of life with KC you just have to find it, and if skinny dipping is the way forward so be it!!!!! Oh dammit, i just let the secret out!!!! :):)

Love you all, have fun! A much happier and liberated sweetie who wanted to post a happy post for once!!!!!

Nice to hear you are getting out and about, lets hope your photos turn out better than mine did when I took them without lenses in. All blurry and shaky, coundn't see a thing on them could the rest of the family but, looked fine to me!

Why give up driving?

Friend of mine has just done a charity thing driving a car for the first time. The instructor looked worried, but the guide dog in the back was just like any other dog in acar with the window open! Head out wind in the fur.

Gareth,

Oh and my blind friend was driving on a disused airfield at the time.
