Go on then..

..Sum me up in 1000 words.
Or not *grin* I was interviewed today by Sean (some of you may remember him, he was the filthy beast with whom I used to live before getting this here lovenest with my honey) he’s now studying journalism at Salford uni and has to interview ‘someone interesting’ apparantly my CFS/ME issues come under that heading lol
Whaddaya know! Here was me thinking my humdrum life was of no interest to anyone but you little lot (all 6 or 7 of you regular visitors.. and by the way, how come only 3 of you ever comment? I love that K, Kelly and more recently HK have found something to say – but why do you others lurk so..?)
*ahem*
Anyhow it proved to be an interesting experience, he even said that it could prove to be an issue he would like to make a full feature of, says he’s going to talk to his tutor about it to see if she thinks he’d be able to find someone willing to print a story about it.. I have my doubts to be honest – not as a reflection of his writing skills (far from it, the guy is a phenomenal writer) but more of the ‘newsworthyness’ of the story.
Lets face it – the only CFS/ME stories you see in UK print follow along the line of yuppie flu and ‘positive thinking proves to be the cure’ it’s very disheartening to the many thousands of people suffering from the illness, but that’s the way of things I guess.
Who knows – maybe Sean will be the first person to really change this *grin* he did suggest I write about it myself, I mentioned i’d thought of writing in to some of the housewifey type magazines you get in waiting rooms that offer £250 for your real life story.. He painted a picture of an army of women drumming up support and making the government stop pussyfooting around and front up the cash for some decent research – apparantly all it takes is one Richard and Judy interview to have committees forming the length and breadth of Britain. It’s a nice thought..
Right, I’m 2 minutes past my allotted bedtime so i’ll skedaddle – tomorrow I’ll be throwing up a few pictures of the jewellary I’ve been working on, they may not be great pictures but they will be here – feel free to comment on my creative genius

I comment because I want to. I comment because I enjoy being here. If someone puts as much work into their blog as you. I will comment. As opposed to the BABOON who’s last post was from 2004.
Besides, I love it when you call me a Git.
LMAO well you are a git on occasion m’love – I only say it when it’s justified
as for the baboon.. *sigh* he’s too busy playing with his Wii.

Lord knows you would make an interesting subject of interview. What goes on behind that facade of yours?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Facade? moi? *grin* If the author of the piece has no objection and if I’m not too embarrassed by it I shall post it here for all to see. trust me Pat – there’s not really all that much going on in here

[...] Anyhow on the news front, Sean has apparantly had to fend his tutor away from stealing his story, She seems to think he really has something and is willing to help him get published in one of the nationals. Now I don’t mean the piece he’s writing about me specifically, I mean his idea to make it into a full on feature. Basically from what I’ve told him and from the research he’s been doing, he feels there is a real need to get our situation out there. [...]

[...] A while back Sean Fisher asked to interview me as part of his journalism coursework, he wanted to ask me things about ME/CFS and how it affected my life. Sean was actually living with me when I first came down with the illness so he knew me before, during and after and has seen first hand how debilitating it is and just what a change it makes to a persons life – which is why I agreed, I hate to talk about those things normally because I cry, just thinking about it makes me cry – I hate crying, especially in front of other people so normally I’ll either avoid the topic or make some throwaway statement before hastily changing the subject.
