I haven't done a journal entry in a while, and about three years ago that would have been really weird for me, but not so much now

I just haven't had much to write about

I spend most days in the house with Freya watching Transformers Prime = I am still looking for a job, but luck doesn't seem to be smiling on me at the moment. I go in to school with mum once or twice a week - and while it's nice to help her and the kids, it hurts immensely being there. Because being there reminds me, and that hurts

Like I've said before, I don't think this pain will ever go away, it's just a case of learning to live with it. And I've been learning for nearly 8 years now.

On the less heavy stuff, I'm off to Norway a week today!

My great-grandfather was killed over there during the Second World War, and we are going to see his grave at a military cemetery. We will be the first members of our family to go and see it, Opa always wanted to go, but he was always too poorly

But it should be a seriously epic trip, I am really looking forward to it

And the added bonus is that it is my kind of weather

I LOVE the cold, much to the disappointment of my loved ones

I have just finished Silence by Becca Fitzpatrick, epic book

Would definitely recommend

I am now reading my favourite book in the whole entire universe; This is all: The Pillow Book of Cordelia Kenn by Aidan Chambers. If you have to read a book before you die, let it be that one. In my view, this book is something that deeply rises above the Harry Potters, the Twilight Saga, Series of Unfortunate Events, all of which I have read and enjoyed.

For me the only book with a hope of rivalling Chambers's is Markus Zusak's The Book Thief.

Next entry will probably be sometime after Norway.

I am also about halfway through deleting old journals, I don't want to be reminded of my past. So far I would say I've deleted approximately 350(ish)
