All Good Things… I’m A Weirdo, And That’s Okay. (Pa...
General | Posted 5 years ago3rd June 2020
Hello Chaps and Chapettes.
I am what is known affectionately and sometimes ridiculed, as a furry. To those who don’t know what that is, it means that I am part of a community that roleplays online, and often offline, as an animal. This can come in many forms, from your average animals that walk on two legs, to more commonly known furries who walk around on two legs with forms not too dissimilar from what you see in Disney films like Robin Hood and more recently, Zootopia.
Some people, including a few I know and call friends, dress up as their fursona - that means, the persona they take on when they are being a furry. Most that I know personally, like myself, keep it to a past-time that they spend online. They’ll chat normally about a vast range of things, from what is going on in the real world, films, music, life, ETC. However, they’ll do this behind a pseudonym, the name or character they go by in the community, and everyone (who has the desire to roleplay with them) will refer to them by that character’s name and species.
Here’s my example - I’ve been known in certain communities as Dusk, a black panther. I have had numerous backstories for my character, but lately, I stick with a basic ‘he’s a panther and is from England,’ and riff on whatever else anyone wants to know about him. This is probably because I have grown as close to Dusk as I have to my own life, to the point where there’s no difference between him and me, apart from he has a pretty sweet tail and is a hell of a lot cuter.
This is one example I can give of how weird a person I really am. Some, even the friend or relatives of mine that others would consider weird enough, don’t know this story about me unless they’re reading it now. If they are - hello! Love you lots, thanks for reading this confession, please don’t send me to the funny farm. I’d prefer a funny zoo…
So, why? Why do I have this segment of my life that is important to me? Why, now I’m an adult, have I not stopped enjoying logging onto a chatroom and having people call me Dusk, or lately Scaramouche? And why have I invented these personas for myself?
I’ll start with those first two questions and answer them together, if I may. This isn’t something that started overnight. When I first began to join online communities at around fifteen or sixteen, it was to help aid two things. The first was my writing. I’d heard that people would create text-based roleplays which was essentially like writing an ongoing story where you tell the story from a personal character. I thought this would help improve my book writing abilities immensely.
The second reason was that a girl I really, really, really fancied at the time told me about it, and invited me to do it with her (the roleplaying online, nothing else… ). So I went along to do that thing boys do - try and impress the person they fancy. The roleplay was about vampires and lycans (werewolves) because that was a big interest for this girl and myself (Anne Rice & ‘Underworld’ was preferred rather than Stephenie Meyer - Sorry Edward/ Jacob fans). I created a character called Dusk’eth, who was a werewolf, a total ‘Mary-Sue’ (a generic character who is perfect at everything) who tried to woo this girl on my behalf while she played as a vampire.
This worked about as well as you can expect, by which I mean, it didn’t. After a few roleplays, ‘Dusk’eth’ seemed to wander off to find other things on the internet, sort of like Wreck-It Ralph, and discovered a place that when by the name of ‘Gaia Online’ which was a community with cutesy little avatars and a lot more people to chat to.
At the same time that I became more involved in this community, I went on a trip to Tenerife, where I visited the Loro Parque zoo. There, I became fascinated by a Black Panther who seemed to watch me and only me the entire time that I walked by its pen. It was more than likely wishing I was in its pen so that it could have me for lunch and I wish this story was about a free animal, not one in a cage, but nonetheless it has an impact on me. This was where Dusk’eth started to change from a werewolf to a guy who could become a cat.
It was after this that I met other people who discussed with me what furries were and introduced me to the places on the internet where they would meet. When friends and this girl I had liked at school moved on, these people stayed and remembered my name, what was going on in my life, and held an interest that didn’t invade or ruin how I wanted to live. Eventually, Dusk settled on being a panther full time and still has many of the friends he met in those early days as close to him as they are to me, no matter where in the world they are.
And that goes some way to answering those first two questions - I still do it, because the people I befriended behind the animals they pretend to be remain good friends. They’ve been there for me in the highs, they’ve helped me through the lows, they’ve cried and cheered with me and I with them. It seems strange to those outside the furry universe, but that’s okay because to us, it makes sense.
So, that last question, why do I still identify as Dusk, and why did I create Scaramouche too? Well, Dusk went through that part of my life with me and as I say, I put so much of me in him that he really hasn’t felt like a non-existent creature. You may have heard other writers say that about their characters.
Scaramouche, on the other hand, is me. However, that is just a name. Not a character, just a persona to give me an extra boost of confidence when I do anything, like this right now. I can best describe it as a uniform, I know I can be a certain way when I’m Scaramouche that I cannot be when I’m Matt. I guess that’s why Elton John and Lady Gaga must feel when they step into their names too.
There are so many more things that make me completely bizarre, like the fact I’m a Brony (a guy who likes My Little Pony) or that I believe I see dead people… sort of. But for now, I will close by explaining why it is okay, for me at least.
Everybody has a quirk. You may not think it, but you do. It might be something disgusting, something embarrassing, something sexual, something strange, or something most in your country think is acceptable but other people from other countries would consider it strange. Everyone is a little odd and it is fine so long as it isn’t hurting anybody. You can think I’m a weirdo and that’s not a problem either.
I know I am and I’m happy with it.
All good things,
Love, Scaramouche.

P.S. In the end we all do weird things, and if you don’t think you do, ask yourselves if you can remember which part of the chicken that egg you ate came from. Yeah?

Why does it still bother me...?
General | Posted 8 years agoWhy does it still bother me that we used to be great friends, talked about the comic and art in general, about love interests and pet peeves, rollercoasters, dumb shit...
Why does it still bother me that I know you'll never read this and that you've moved on, why haven't I?
Why does it still bother me that I'm pretty sure you hate my guts, and I still don't fully know why? Is that what bothers me?
Why do I still bother to like, favourite, even occasionally comment on your art, which by the way is going from strength to strength every day, I'm so proud of what you've accomplished whilst I'm just where I always have been.
I know you won't notice me, I know you've moved on and so should I , but every time I see your name (and I can't not, even if I removed you from my lists you'd still crop up time and again) I feel that sting of never having that friend I used to love to bits.
I guess that bothers me...
I need to get back to work...

EulogyFurFiction begins - 20th September 2010
General | Posted 15 years agoHEY EVERYBODY!
YES! Yessssssssssssssssssss! It's coming! There's a date and everything!
FurFiction is a new stand-alone comic-series which starts where Furlives left off.
2 years after Dusk woke up from the Furlives dream, it is not long left until he moves to Canada to start his new job in a Toronto Newspaper and live with his Canadian girlfriend, Avienda. That night he joins his friends to have a ghost hunt in England but when things take a mysterious and Dusk wakes up at home in bed, wonders whether the whole night had just been another vivid dream.
However, the questions follow him to Canada. Who are Baker's Thirteen? Why are they following Dusk and Avienda? for Dusk and Avienda, this is just the first of a series of events that will catapult them into the unknown together....
FurFiction will begin on Monday the 20th of September and then a new part will be ready every Monday!
(I hope)
Hope you will be watching and looking forward to entertaining you guys!
Kindest regards and all good things,
Matt R Brooks, 'Dusk'FurFiction coming September 2010 - Questions?

FurFiction - September 2010
General | Posted 15 years agoThe next part of Furlives
Fur Fiction -
When: Its going to start some time after Furlives ended, Dusk went to Canada and came back, I will explore that journey at the beginning of this new story.
Where: It will start in the English village Dusk will be living in then it will move to Canada when Dusk travels over there to be with Lily.
Who: Dusk will be back, He will be the same Panther he always was, and he'll not have changed too dramatically.
Coming with him will be some new, and in some cases strange, characters:
Avienda - Dusk's girlfriend, she is a student and lives in Canada, he is a big part of the reason he wants to move into the country.
Dusk will be working at a newspaper called The Highlighter, and the characters he works with are very mysterious.
Strange things will start to happen around him, and it will cause him to investigate further learning more and more about the colleagues he works with.
Mr Baker - A gruff old gent (might be a scottish terrier, not decided yet!) who owns the newspaper
Roxy- Baker's granddaughter, again a dog of some sort, brilliantly clever and yet playful at the same time.
December- Receptionist, Definitely a rabbit, attitude at the best of times.
Maxwell - Cheerful photographer (hound), quickly becomes a friend of Dusk's
Bracken - (otter) sinister reporter, something is very wrong about him.
So I thought I'd give you a sneak peek, let me know your thoughts!
Kind regards
Matt Brooks,

I'm not asking for a freebie, if you help or even offer to work up the flash for me, I'll consider whatever you want in return, and will let you know if I'm happy to pay up before you help/work up the flash for me.
Please consider this, I'd love to get this done asap. Thank you!

General | Posted 17 years agoHey all,
Right so since my last journal back in July, there's been some changes.
Firstly, my laptop is back and in (near enough) tip top form. Only issue is it's a wee bit slower than it was but I blame myself for that.
I'm also getting Furlives sorted now as well, with a much clearer end in sight for the Doctor Who storyline. I've purchased some pens that help me get the comic done faster, it's jut finding time and energy to do it.
I'm cleaning up the last few requests I've taken on too, so hopefully I'll be sorted soon. I'm not taking on anything new now till after christmas, it'll only be promised trades or items I'm being paid a fair amount for. So I'm pretty much back on form.
I completed a peice last niht for another friend from work, entitled 'Daughters' I'll have posted that straight ater putting this entry up, so have a look, tell me what you think. The human ones are always interesting in contrast to the furs...
Thanks for reading, I'll keep you all updated on any changes. I've nw got to go and convince the head of my fave chat room that I'm over 18.
All good things!
Dusk.

No More Freebies...
General | Posted 17 years ago...
OK, firstly to all those that stuck by me last month, thank you. You're the cream of the crop and I couldn't have survived without you. I have something very important to say first then I'll give you the lowdown on my situation now. My first order of business is important, so I'm going to write it in bold for all to see:
Although things are still not great, the good news is my parents have settled their dispute and are still together. They decided they still loved each other and they wanted to try it again.
However, now money is getting hard to come by. Britain is fast becoming a hard country to live in, what with idiotic politicians making stupid spendings and distrupting money without careful thought to the public. My parents are now finding that they are struggling for money and this is having a backlash on me and my brothers. Bu at least we're acting ore like a family now, that's one good thing.
So again, you guys have been very good to me. Keep up the cuddles and support and LET ME KNOW if you need some back, kay? <3 Much love
Duskie.

I have something very important to say first then I'll give you the lowdown on my situation now. My first order of business is important, so I'm going to write it in bold for all to see:
After some careful consideration, I've decided to not take any further requests for art until my current backlog is sorted out.
Don't worry, to all those I've currently promised art for, I will still deal with your requests. I just can't take any further work on, I take anything else and I will break down.
I'm also no longer going to do paintings for free. This is only partly due to money problems. The other reason is because I'm doing this and it is taking away alot of my free time. I enjoy painting, but it is using up my resources, and I need some income back from it, either by art trade or otherwise. My prices won't be irrational and after my work load is cut down, I'll make a list of prices. LINE ART MAY STILL BE FREE....

I'm sorry, I'm so sorry...
General | Posted 17 years agoYou might not see me around for a while, guys. I'm really sorry about this,
I know I owe a few people pictures but I'm in a bad way at the moment and
life's not exactly getting any easier.
Last weekend, my parents had a terrible fight and the residue has been hanging
in the air ever since. Then last night, it kicked off again. My syepdad has it in his
that my mum has been cheating on him, if you knew my mum you'd know that is
BULLSHIT. So last night he made some unforgivable remarks and left for the whole
night, leaving my mum sobbing in my arms.
I'm a bit of a mummies boy, and I don't really care what anyone thinks about that.
I respected my stepdad too, until all this came about. Now I want him out of our
lives, but thats like tell a bear to stop shitting in the woods.
On top of this, my car has now been deemed too dangerous to driving, meaning
I need to go get another. Luckily, I get paid on Monday and I've seen a small cheap
thing that I like, but still, I loved my old car, I named it Jessy and everything.
So in short, I'm fucked. My brain can't cope with all this emotional stress and if
anything else happens or if someone gets in my way, I'm going to destroy them.
That's way I'm staying offline as much as I can bare it. I'm good friends with some
of you and yo don't deserve an arsehole like me beating you down.
I'll be back... Shortly. In the meantime, look after yourselves.
Dusk.
Why contests are fun, and yet annoying...

DuskethPreview of 'Destiny' -Story
General | Posted 18 years ago I hope you enjoy this.
There's a poll going along side this:
http://dusketh.deviantart.com/journal/poll/279311/
But it's just a silly lil thing I'm having a try at, hoping I'll get some feedback so I know if I should keep this going or take another direction...
This is a preview of an up and coming novel I have in writing. It’s a sci-fi/ fantasy tale about a boy pilot of a ship called ‘Night Dragon’ who comes up against a series of events which all link to one important fact about him...
This extract begins after the boy, Vince, and his new ‘friend’ Kay, a girl with a wolf’s tail (honest, there’s a reason she has a tail, it’s not just a fetish... well ok it’s a fetish but it has a point as well...) have just escaped a set of traps with a mysterious artefact. Yet instantly after this Kay is captured by a Wolf Anthro, named Scarloe, and it’s up to Vince to rescue her...
The guards marched their prisoner into the air-station and pushed her forward, where the smug figure was there to greet them. Scarloe smirked and lifted the head of his captive, calmly looking into her fierce eyes.
‘Kay ‘Eko Wuulfe. How many times have you evaded me? I’ve got you now my pretty little thing...’ The girl growled.
‘Don’t think it will be for long, because my friends...’
‘...Cannot chase a speeding railship, and certainly won’t be able to find you once we pass the sea tunnels.’ Scarloe sniggered and shook his head, stroking her cheek in mock-tenderness, ‘It’ll just be us, dearest...’ Kay gave a snarl of disgust and pulled away. With a quick flick of her tail, she caught his face with the metal bracelet she wore on it. The wolf yelped and buckled upon impact, snorting furiously at her as he pressed on a fresh wound rising up on his furred cheek.
‘That... Was a very silly thing to do, Wuulfe. Get her on board!’ He roared to the guards, and Kay was forced onto a dark, formal-looking railship sitting in the station, with barred windows and sliding doors, simple but sinister. The Wolf rubbed his cut and licked the blood from his fingers, grunting angrily before following them onto the train.
Moments later the door slid shut and the motors on the railship roared to life, propelling it away from the station along the rails above the city. Only then did the figure hidden in the shadows emerge, watch the train for a moment as it sped away, then turned and raced for his ship docked only moments away.
~
Vince raced into the cockpit of the Night Dragon and leapt into the seat, grappling the steering and thrusting his hand on the lever to fasten himself into the seat.
‘Vince?’ The ship’s computer chimed as he boy thudded buttons around him, the panels and equipment around him whirring to life.
‘AVOS, engines, now!’ Without complaint, the ship suddenly burst into life, the engines beneath roaring through the walls. Vince threw the controls forward and the ship rose, spun and burst into the air, racing up high above the city.
‘Vince?’ AVOS asked again. Vince got up and peered down, spotting the travelling railship, picking up speed as it followed its tracks towards the sea tunnels lit up in the distance.
‘Kay got captured. We’re going to rescue her...’
~
On the railship, Kay struggled in the grips of the guards, so far managing to evade the chains they tried to place on her, Scarloe barking orders at them to hold her down. One cuff was snapped to her wrist, and the next instant the same guard found it swinging up and knocking him square in the face, throwing him back, unconscious. Another guard bravely grabbed her and clipped the other cuff on her free wrist behind her back, but her still free tail caught him in the chest and he was sent reeling as well.
‘ENOUGH!’ A sharp edge suddenly met inches from Kay’s neck and she stopped in her tracks. She found herself staring at Scarloe, his Razo-blade held against her with fury scribbled across his dark features, blood drooling from the weeping slash she had caused to his cheek. ‘I’ve had as much as necessary of this, you ignorant pup! You’re making me very angry...’
Kay tried to swing her tail at him again, but to her horror he caught it. She yelped in pain as he tugged it hard, forcing her to come closer, the sharp metal of the blade pushing dangerously into her neck. A malevolent grin crossed his face.
‘Not this time...’ He nodded and the only two guards not apprehended grabbed her. They pulled her away from the Razo-blade, one holding her tightly whilst the other pulled out her wriggling tail sharply, making her grit her teeth from the sting that tingled in her lower back.
Scarloe sneered to the girl as he walked around her, casually resting the blunt end of the sword on his shoulder. He examined her tail and stopped, giving a mock sigh.
‘I’m sorry, Wuulfe, but their will be know love in our relationship if you keep this thing...’ He slid his sword off of his shoulder and raised it above his head, keeping it unnervingly still against the rocking of the railship, ‘Now, this’ll hurt...’
~
The Dragon fell gracefully through the air and quickly levelled itself to the same speed as the racing railship, Vince peering through the windows. He spotted Kay first, then the glint of the razor edge lifted, and then where it was being aimed.
‘He’s going to cut off her tail! AVOS...’
‘Already on it, hold on,’ The ship’s computer replied calmly and took over, whilst Vince held on for dear life, watching in horror as the blade fell...
~
Kay’s eyes were shut as she braced herself for the pain. He sensitive ears heard the swish of the blade cutting the air...
And then a crash disturbed her next moments. The metal floor beneath her rocked violently and immediately Kay felt herself fall in the darkness with the two guards holding her captive, tumbling amongst several bodies. A clatter told her ears Scarloe had also lost his footing dropping his weapon in the process.
Her eyes were once more open and her first thoughts were of her tail. She checked her back and sure enough there it was, giving it a little wave to make sure it was still in one piece. She growled as she felt the two guards struggling. She rolled onto her feet and swung around, kicking both men in quick succession and sending them both into an early bedtime. She spotted Scarloe but he was already out for the count as well below the controls of the Railship. Her ears picked up a fainting yelling and she grinned, spinning around to see her rescuer...
~
The wing of the Night Dragon nudged the side of the railship just in time, knocking the wolf, girl and two guards off of their feet before the blade could come into contact with her tail. ‘YES!’ Vince punched the air in triumph and pushed the lever forward, releasing himself from the seat. He jumped up and raced for the door, spinning around and calling back to the ship as he did so.
‘Keep a steady speed with that railship! I’m getting back our girl...’ He leapt the stairs into the main hub and punched the button to open the door, sliding to the swinging car beside it. He lifted his wrist and spoke into his transmitter, ‘Level me up the railship door!’ The dragon inched forward, becoming parallel with the railship door. Through the bars of the door window he watched Kay roll to her feet and kick the guards into submission.
‘KAY! HERE!’ He yelled to get her attention, and saw her turn and grin. Leaning out of the doorway, he could see the sea tunnel fast approaching and knew they had less than a couple of minutes left.
‘KAY! OPEN THE DOOR!’
~
There was Vince, hovering beside the door, yelling to her. She raced forward and cupped her ears, yelling back.
‘WHAT?’
‘OPEN. THE. DOOR!’ He bellowed again. She hit the button, but the door whined and failed. She tried again, the same happened. She grabbed and struggled at the edge of the door but it was no use.
‘IT’S STUCK!’ She cried back, pressing herself against the door in a bid to push through it.
Vince thought fast, fumbled at his belt and pulled his blaster out, aiming and taking several shots at the lock on the door before hitting his target, pulverising it. Kay tugged and with a sullied groan of metal, the door opened. She had to grab the edges of the doorway as the intake of air forced in, trying to push her back. She pulled herself forward and squinted as she heard Vince yell again.
‘KAY! JUMP!’ His hand was outstretched, a foot or more away. He was trying to keep her concentration on him, because he knew if she looked down...
She looked down. The city lights speeding by painted the terror in her face.
‘VINCE! I CAN’T! IT’S TOO HIGH!’
Suddenly the railship’s motors revved at it began to go faster, and Kay’s doorway began to get away from Vince. He yelled, but it was lost on the wind battling between them.
Kay spun around, and found a somnolent-looking Scarloe forcing forward the controls the railship. He turned to her with mad eyes and sniggered.
‘Not far from the sea tunnels now, Kay!’
~
Vince snapped his wrist back up to his mouth.
‘AVOS, keep up with her!’ The ships engine flared and Vince grappled with the doorway as he flew forward. As the doorway began to come level with him again he raised his blaster ready to stun the controller of the airship. Instead he found himself lowering it in shock as he watched two bolts fire from a weapon in the hands of Kay...
~
As luck had it, the Razo-blade had fallen close to where Kay stood now. She saw the chance and leapt for it, making for the weapon and setting the blaster function on it.
‘Scarloe, slow us down or I’ll blast you!’ He laughed and got up slowly, using the controls to stable himself.
‘Wuulfe, I know you. You’re no killer. Give me back my Razo-blade...’ Kay growled and went to pull the trigger, but stopped. He was right, she couldn’t kill him. She began to lower her weapon, looking defeated.
‘You see. You can’t win...’ He began, but was stopped as suddenly Kay raised the gun again and let off two blasts in quick succession.
Neither hit him, but both were true to her aim. They hit the control panel above him, and with giving him pause to know what she’d done, it fell on top of him. For the second time, Scarloe was down and out.
By the time Kay was back at the doorway, Vince had caught up, and his arm was outstretched, more desperately than ever. The tunnels were looming fast now.
‘SCARLOE’S DOWN!’ She cried out to him.
‘I KNOW! I SAW, NOW JUMP!’
‘BUT I CAN STOP THE RAILSHIP!’
‘THEY WON’T BE UNCONCIOUS FOREVER, JUMP!’
‘IT’S TOO HIGH!’
‘KAY, THE TUNNEL IS COMING! JUMP!’
‘BUT...’
TUNNEL! JUMP!’
She looked down, the wind streaking through her hair. The lights of the city were growing thinner as they grew closer to the sea. Her eyes raised back up and meet his, and that moment he saw again the fright that clouded them.
‘I’m scared...’ she didn’t shout it, but Vince read her lips as she said the two words. He thrust his hand out further. The tunnel was seconds away.
‘I WON’T LET YOU FALL...’ She never took her eyes off of his as she made the hardest decision of hr life.
‘Trust me,’ He said, and this time she read his lips. She decided, took a deep breath, and leapt.

She pulled herself forward and squinted as she heard Vince yell again.
‘KAY! JUMP!’ His hand was outstretched, a foot or more away. He was trying to keep her concentration on him, because he knew if she looked down...
She looked down. The city lights speeding by painted the terror in her face.
‘VINCE! I CAN’T! IT’S TOO HIGH!’
Suddenly the railship’s motors revved at it began to go faster, and Kay’s doorway began to get away from Vince. He yelled, but it was lost on the wind battling between them.
Kay spun around, and found a somnolent-looking Scarloe forcing forward the controls the railship. He turned to her with mad eyes and sniggered.
‘Not far from the sea tunnels now, Kay!’
~
Vince snapped his wrist back up to his mouth.
‘AVOS, keep up with her!’ The ships engine flared and Vince grappled with the doorway as he flew forward. As the doorway began to come level with him again he raised his blaster ready to stun the controller of the airship. Instead he found himself lowering it in shock as he watched two bolts fire from a weapon in the hands of Kay...
~
As luck had it, the Razo-blade had fallen close to where Kay stood now. She saw the chance and leapt for it, making for the weapon and setting the blaster function on it.
‘Scarloe, slow us down or I’ll blast you!’ He laughed and got up slowly, using the controls to stable himself.
‘Wuulfe, I know you. You’re no killer. Give me back my Razo-blade...’ Kay growled and went to pull the trigger, but stopped. He was right, she couldn’t kill him. She began to lower her weapon, looking defeated.
‘You see. You can’t win...’ He began, but was stopped as suddenly Kay raised the gun again and let off two blasts in quick succession.
Neither hit him, but both were true to her aim. They hit the control panel above him, and with giving him pause to know what she’d done, it fell on top of him. For the second time, Scarloe was down and out.
By the time Kay was back at the doorway, Vince had caught up, and his arm was outstretched, more desperately than ever. The tunnels were looming fast now.
‘SCARLOE’S DOWN!’ She cried out to him.
‘I KNOW! I SAW, NOW JUMP!’
‘BUT I CAN STOP THE RAILSHIP!’
‘THEY WON’T BE UNCONCIOUS FOREVER, JUMP!’
‘IT’S TOO HIGH!’
‘KAY, THE TUNNEL IS COMING! JUMP!’
‘BUT...’
TUNNEL! JUMP!’
She looked down, the wind streaking through her hair. The lights of the city were growing thinner as they grew closer to the sea. Her eyes raised back up and meet his, and that moment he saw again the fright that clouded them.
‘I’m scared...’ she didn’t shout it, but Vince read her lips as she said the two words. He thrust his hand out further. The tunnel was seconds away.
‘I WON’T LET YOU FALL...’ She never took her eyes off of his as she made the hardest decision of hr life.
‘Trust me,’ He said, and this time she read his lips. She decided, took a deep breath, and leapt.

Happy Birthday to Me
General | Posted 18 years agoHOSHITIMMATWENTY!!!
Thats right, 20 years old. A few years ago I couldn't picture my future more than a couple of days ahead. If you said I'd be happy at twenty, I'd have told you a few things, mostly calling you a liar. But I'm 20, and hell yea, I'm happy.
I've got a book. Sure, its not published, but it has my heart in it, and it will go far, that is my promise to myself.
I have friends. People I love, family I care for, people to worry for.
And I have a life. A life I hadn't known existed until it kicked me in the face and told me to stop eing a pillock and make something of it.
Now, my ambitions are to travel. I want to and shall see the world. I will become a writer. And I'll show those who care for me how much I care for them.
That said, one last thing to do.
'HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU OLLLLD GIIIIIIT, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!'
All good things,
Matt
