| I never really knew how good it is to have a debate with someone - me and dav used to debate all sorts of things all the time, much to the amusement of the rest of our house mates who couldn't understand the fact it was not arguing. But since leaving uni there hasn't been anyone to have these conversations with - mainly beacause most people won't argue for what they believe or they just believe in something because there parents, friends...do so have no reasons to back things up. Or people who think 'shut up' is a good argument lol. I also hate it when people agree with me just for the sake of it - with certain people you could say the sky is green and they'd look up, smile and say yes. Why do certain people think that sitting in front of the tv everyday equals a good life. Take my cousin for example - now don't get me wrong - i love her to bits, but....she grew up never going outside to play - always watching one thing after another, reading magazine after magazine....well now she has a 3 yr old little boy and she works as a paediatric nurse - as soon as she get home or on her days off or holidays both her and her son sit on the settee and watch program after program....the only place she takes him is shopping. He doesn't play in the garden becasue she can't be arsed to move herself to go out with him and if whilst watching tv he wakes up after a nap she tries to encourage him to either go back to sleep so she doesn't have to do anything or to get his fav tv show and make him sit with her and watch it.......WHY???? To me there is something very very very wrong with this picture - i find it quite disturbing to start with that a 3yr old has a range of fav tv programs. He should be in the garden at the least playing with toys, getting muddy, looking and exploring - i just find it sad that many children never get to do these sorts of things. Whenever i have children they will be outdoors playing from the word go - they will be able to get messy and have fun.....they are children and should be allowed to act like them! Well...hoping to go to the peak district this half term for a few days - meeting up with some friends i met on trek this year who are from the UK. Should be fun - hoping to get up there a few days earlier so i can do some hiking and some other activities - think there are plenty of climbing companies etc... around there so may see if i can sort a few activities out. The only problem being is that i am so broke. I know it is often said that money can't buy happiness but it would certainly help with my happiness factors right now!! I have also decided that i am not happy at work anymore - i am really really disliking my job more and more this year. I can't leave as i need to pay off my credit card from this summer (and that'll take me a while...oops!) But i don't think looking for a new job for a jan start is worth it either. I really want to finish work in july next year so i can take a yr, maybe 2 out and travel and sort out what i want to do and where i want to live. I can't see myslef being happy living where i am now - there isn't enough to do round here that i like - and there aren't many people that i can find who enjoy the activities i do so that makes it hard. But deciding to up roots and move somewhere else is quite unnerving. I don't even know if the UK is where i want to be - i really love the central/west US but not sure if that's only because i have trekked etc...there so have great memories. I used to really fancy OZ or NZ just because of their whole ideals about the outdoor life being so great. But it's so hard to get visa's etc.. to stay there. So i have no idea what to do really. Def, def finding it hard to decide. Then there is the other argument that some people come up with - if i met someone here then i would be happy here.....so who knows..... Well - it is raining at the mo, not a surprise - being that it is England after all  I am also off ill at the mo so guess i shouldn't be going out anyway. Got a chest infection but feeling heaps better now. Some good things to think about after all that moaning lol!! snow capped mountains, sitting by a log fire in the winter, warm snuggly sweaters, being out with nature when you can see nothing and hardly anyone for as far as you can see, sitting/laying on a nice rock watching the sun set, listening to the waves on a beach at night, watching a thunder and lightening storm, listening to rain pelt on a tent above you, walking next to/in a lazy river, watching a fast flowing river run past you, seeing bison drink from a swollen river, getting caught in a huge storm and having to hide out til it finishes, driving the little 2 seater offroaders up a mountain (amazing fun!!!)....... sure i could go on for hours.... oh and here are a few little bits - LOVING the last one!!!!
