» Stalked

um... well. maybe.
I met my first girlfriend of my fresher year at college when I moved into a house I shared with her and another girl. They were both third years and inevitably the relationship went tits up after a couple of months. I then had to last the next 10 months with them till the contract ran out.
The relationship being short and pretty intense and me being a long way from home meant that I got a teeny bit upset at the time.
So.
to express the pain I felt inside, that my 18 year old self hadn't the emotional maturity to express, I wrote down some lyrics in a letter and left the missive on her pillow.

I am still not sure exactly what I thought sting was talking about in 'every breath you take', but it only clicked about 4 years after.

Hindsight is a cruel mistress.

Espresso

Expresso is your ignorance.

» School Sports Day

unofficial archery
normal sportsday deal, those who are involved, race, those who arent amble around the school field due to the 'afternoon off but not able to go home' policy

chap called wayne steel (you couldnt make it up i didnt) decided that he would be a little more industrious than normal and not being involved meant this creativity found an outlet in 'classroom weaponry'

he took a scale ruler, one of those things that had three edges. he made a notch in one edge about an inch from the end. into this he inserted a thick rubber band, which he looped over the end of the ruler into the dip on the top side of the ruler.

his arrow was a long needle compass, pulled out flat.

when fired, it buried itself with such speed and precision, that the first year it hit didnt realise it was in his thigh until a mate pointed it out.

i came third in the 1500 the same day, but received less attention from the police.

» Lies Your Parents Told You

warm and gooey
my uncle (not technically a parent - but i am from burton on trent) told me when i was ickle that the splash from raindrops hitting puddles were actually fairies dancing.

obviously a bunch of arse, but i still like the concept - and i still watch puddles in the rain to this day with that in mind.

im 26. and male.
