I use to keep diaries on and off but mainly on when I was younger (14 &#8211; 19 or so), few people knew they existed two maybe three and no-one ever got to see them. I keep this blog for pretty much the same reason, I enjoy it. I don&#8217;t know why, maybe it&#8217;s the simple fact of having the records available, maybe it&#8217;s a place to vent or even just express myself. I just wish I could do it better.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t like people that smoke, not in a personal sense of course but in general. I was in the pub tonight with 5 others, 4 were smoking and it just caused me to not want to be there so I headed home. This was a good thing in that I am not in the pub again tonight and I need to do that more often. But anyways it&#8217;s a filthy habit blah blah blah. This leads to the pretty much factual statement although we&#8217;ll expand on this in a while but pretty much in terms of girls, if they smoke I&#8217;m just not interested. I know that&#8217;s kinda harsh but it can be simply boiled down to the simple taste factor. I have no interest in kissing someone who smells and tastes like smoke. Anyways its never been an issue but I did get some grief on it a few weeks ago when it came up in conversation. I don&#8217;t know what my reaction would be if anyone I ever had or indeed have a crush on started smoking but I can&#8217;t imagine it would be good.<br \/>\nSo having said all that I&#8217;m pretty much a liar there was this one time where I was in a pub with a group of friends and we had had a lot to drink. Anyways we ended up joining a large group of people but I spent quite a while talking with one of the girls in that party. I&#8217;d seen her in the pub earlier as we had been admiring the views (so to speak) all night and well I hadn&#8217;t been overly impressed. But anyways after talking with her for a couple of hours (and still being involved with the group of people) I came to the sudden realisation that I liked her a lot, she was really cool and really really nice and all of the sudden the other things didn&#8217;t matter. Nothing came of it, I like to think (completely unrealistically) that something could have but such is life. It&#8217;s been on my mind for a while and I wanted to write about it. I just wish I could do it better.<\/p>\n<p>A couple of weeks ago I picked up <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B0000666VN\/o\/qid=1021579165\/sr=2-1\/ref=sr_bt_1\/026-2376023-6395633\" title=\"\" onmouseover=\"JavaScript: self.status=''; return true;\" onmouseout=\"JavaScript: self.status=''; return false;\">Alternative Eighties<\/a> and while it&#8217;s got some really cool stuff on it I&#8217;ve been hooked by Furniture&#8217;s &#8220;Brilliant Mind&#8221;.
