He's called Matt and he's from Cornwall- we met in a bar.
Anyway I went on a date with him and he sems nice enough but I don't really want to go out with him because he is a real country boy who loves his steak and shoots animals occasionally and he also doesn't believe in global warming- or have that much intrest in the environment. I am a vegetarian enviromentalist. However maybe we could just be friends or something. I haven't really done that much with him- just a bit of groping and small amount of tongue action. He REALLY likes me but I don't REALLY like him.
I am also going to join the sociological debate society- I need some good friends and also a bit of stimulation- my room mates just care about sex and alcohol. I am really looking forward to my course I love debating and thinking about people and politics and stuff and how society works.Hey- sociology just turns me on. I think there are lots of students like me out there who are not interested in just drinking and sex- I am sure I will come across some likeminded people I'll just have to look carefully.

I will tell you part of my story. In September 03 I found out that my Grandma had cancer and that she had 4 months to live (she actually survived for nearly five months though). I was 17 then. My Grandad and a few nurses looked after her at first, at home. But she began to decline a lot and became too difficult for one person to take care of. So my dad went to stay with my Grandad to help him out. He started being really bad tempered towards everyone, but especially towards my Mother (not physically though) because he had so much stress to deal with. My Mam said she would leave him if he kept being so horrible to her once he had come home after she had died. He was still being a * when he first came home. She started saying she was going to leave him again (she said this quite a few times). We went on holiday and it was the worst holiday I have ever been on because he was being an ** to my Mam all the time and she was complaining about him behind his back all the time to me. She said after the holiday she would leave him.
She had/s been talking behind his back saying she can't stand him, going to leave him etc. I ran away a few weeks ago (only for one night) and that made them talk to each other, so now they really are going to split up. I have this huge resentment towards my Dad for being such a *** and am also angry at my Mam for leaning on me and talking to me instead of Dad when I am just a kid (at least I see myself that way). The atmposphere at home right now is terrible. I have left home now and I'm 19. I'm glad I can get away from my parents, I was tired of being in the middle of all their problems and my Mam leaning on me so I told her to shut up basically- I didn't want to hear anymore about Dad. She still hasn't left him and probably never will.
Sometimes I feel like my parents are the kids and I'm the adult.
The last two years have been pretty hard and I have felt a lot of the time that I am dealing with everything on my own.
