The Beginning

So who am I? That’s a much more complex question than you might imagine. I hardly know. Sometimes I manage to convince myself that I’m a normal grounded young woman. But what do you know..... it turns out that I’m a weird, scatty, indecisive, dyslexic mix of about 17 different people. And none of them are grounded!!

(Just to clarify I’m not actually a schizophrenic - well i hope not)

So, a slightly easier question: why the Blog? It’s essentially a stolen idea (as are most I suppose) I read someone else’s and it occurred to me that maybe “Blogging” could do what no end of concentrating, educating or abuse of illicit substances managed to: organise my thoughts and chill me the fuck out.

Brief history of Shivvers (That’s me): Irish, born and raised in England, grew up in the bizarrely endearing shit hole that is South London, but Bristol, that’s home for me, in my mind. That’s where I did my growing and made the best friends a girl could ever have. Currently living in Gibraltar (That’s my latest attempt to make something of my self. Hasn’t gone overly well, but that’s all to come). Was a restaurant manager for 4 years, almost finished an Art Foundation and love anything that sparkles. So there you have it all you need to know about Siobhan.

Tides of Change

Tides of change. So much has happened in my life lately it is hard to know where to start. I have been doing very little… all the events of resent times have happened to me as apposed to requiring my direct involvement. If you’re a Karma kinda person then I must have squashed some ant destined to be the next Buddha, because someone somewhere hates me. Allow me to remind you that I am expecting my baby on the 10 th July, now imagine how it must feel to be told that you have to leave your house by the 30 th June…. All of 10 days before a tiny baby (who I still have no idea how to look after) arrives. That’s right kids – my landlord is a FUCKING ASSHOLE!! We are basically subletting our apartment – sounds like a recipe for disaster I know but in a country where the average rent for a one bed apartment is in the region of £700.00 and the average salary is about £15,000 it’s not exactly a matter of choice. So rich Swede rents flat – said Swede gets tax benefits for being a Gib ...

Afflicted by a bout of the Crazies

Well there it is, I think I might actually be mad . A persons mental state is so hard to gage, the complexities of the human mind are by nature subjective, so how does one define insanity? Admittedly eating pebbles or thinking you are the Dali Lama when in fact you are a supermarket checkout slave is a pretty good indication. But what if you do nothing overtly strange and yet feel like the ground is swallowing you up, like something is sucking at your very existence and willing you to scream at the most inopportune of times? Lately I feel like I have no control over myself, like everything I aspire to be is beyond my grasp. In a world filled with horrors and suffering how is it possible for someone with so much to feel so low? I have roof over my head, I have a genuinely amazing boyfriend and a perfectly adequate job. I think it would be fair to say that there has been some fucked up shit in my life thus far, but in all honesty who can't!! Furthermore I think that my life is comp...

Ohhh one last thing

Look at the lovely Dolphin........... I live right on the beach, and my boyfriend, his family, my little Bro and I were having a BBQ there the other day, and what do you know!!! There in the sea is a dead Freeking Dolphin!!! Belly up dead. Well anyhoo... You know when you do things that you know you are gonna regret??! Well this is one of those occasions! - Andy and I were swimming when we saw the dolphin coming, like a fool I decide that we really ought to go and investigate this fascinating dead flipper. So up we swim, and circle the dolphin. It really was very disturbing. Do you have any idea how much that freaked me out? - yuck. Then later that same day as we are chilling on the sand. People begin to gather (being lazy bastards) we send the children to investigate. Yep, some reprobate has brought the dolphin in on his canoe and every one is just standing there staring and prodding at the corpse. THEN some freak just picks him up and chucks it in the bin. I mean honestly, does that...
