Let me take my first breath in 48 Hours.

'If you listen, you can then respond'

My 18th was different, amazing, but very different. I had hands on my back, hands on my head. I had encouraging words,and got very wet. The butterflies came, along with the sun, and we ate cake into the evening and the temper trap sung. I wouldn't change a second, i was with the people i love, so i'll kiss you goodnight. Im just a firefly basking in the sunlight.

February 27th 1992..

and 18 years later, im in Wales, im listening to Temper Trap, i have three more siblings, a purple leather satchel, a pink Bible ..with a Zip, a piece of original kate mackenzie art work and a lovely friend Irene, who was with me when i turned 18 in the land of Pandora, and have now made it my life aim to become an Avatar, at 3 last night plaiting my hair in to an Avartarish style.

Looking forward to an adventurous year, of the unknown.

"A Vintage Mackenzie moment."

Quite unbelievably, i have managed to loose half a stone, pass my driving theory and sleep for 14 hours, all in the space of a day. Doesn't sound all that bad, but that really is the silver lining to getting a tummy bug and puking up green bile & marmite toast constantly.

The driving standards agency, really do not take kindly to cancelations, unable to refund my £31 it cost me to take my driving theory, i refuse not to attempt it, even in the deathly state i was in. With my Vampish white skin and ill fitting clothes i walked into 3 groves place, and took comfort in booth 11. First impression, the chairs were very confortable, and if i scrapped my shoe along the leg of it, it created this genius squeaking noise which broke the tensive silence.

After completing the 50 questions and checking over them once, i was feeling rough but persevered thinking ive only got a hazard perception clip left, infact i had 14 hazard perception clips left. It was in the second clip that i started to gag, but i regained posture and replaced my headphones over my ears. Within seconds i was out of my chair and running out of the silent test room, the guy in his little glass box over looking the test jumped up as quickly as i did, and directed me to the toilets in which the remains of my slice of marmite toast amongst other stuff regurgitated. The lady then ran in after me, and told me not to worry about my test and that she will try and pause it. I cleared myself up as much a possible, with wet ends to my hair i walked back through the waiting room, and back into booth 11...

I happened to Pass!

(i think the lady just felt sorry for me, and tampered with my results.)

The HoneyMallowSugarSultana&Oats Concoction..

I very rarely bake, infact i only do soup and flapjacks and i got bored of revising for my driving theory so i made both.

But today i did a little vamping and instead of using golden syrup i used honey and dropped some mini marshmallows into the equation (beware they burn if put on top, a little fault in my recipe), the mallow melts and the sultanas kind of ballooned up and looked like rabbit droppings, but other than that it tasted good.

Grace even said "Jos your the best baker".

And i only cooked them for like 10mins, because i think the smoke alarm would of gone off if i left it any longer.

The Wheres Wally Analogy.

I was looking for Wally tonight, infact i was being paid to find him, i love babysitting - its the easiest way of earning money.

Wally makes me laugh, he's the ultimate Geek, bobble hat, glasses, the whole malarky ..but i've never known anyone cooler, infact if i was to invite 5 people to space with me, Wally would be number one.

Wally reminds me of Jesus, we were talking about how to listen to God in youth last night, and at times searching for him can be hard, and its so easy just to give up and turn the next page, but sometimes when your not even trying your eyes just rest upon the right spot and you find him.

Love x
