It's weird how things randomly pop into your head. Honestly I haven't thought about Mibba in a long time, when 10 years ago it was a big part of my life. Something made me log in, amazingly I remembered my password.Life has changed for me since I last logged in. A lot.I'm no longer working with kids, and now work in a government job which I like. First time I've ever had a job where I'm happy and...

So, long time no see mibba. I apologise for my absence. There has been no real cause for my recent non- activity, other than a true lack of motivation to write.I still intend to finish my stories. I WANT to finish them, and write other stories too. The disappearance of my enthusiasm is baffling to me, and I've decided that maybe I just need to force myself to write.I'm normally of the school of...

Anyone else confused as hell as to how it's 2015 already? Time is flying by too quickly. A New Year, means a new start. It's a time to reflect on what's gone by, and to learn from it.2014. For me, it was year of changes, self reflection and, to be frank, a lot of ups and downs.The year started badly. I got a tooth infection the 2nd of January, which took 3 sets of antibiotics to clear up.I was...

Christmas is supposed to be a happy time. A time where families come together, put aside differences, and enjoy being together. Unless, you're my mother.I've detailed some of my mother's behaviour before, and got said deleted for 'bashing'. It's hard to know what I can say in this and not be accused of bashing.It's Christmas Eve. For months, the dishwasher has been broke. My mother has complained...

Hey guys, long time no see!So, as I'm typing, I have the next chapter of Someone Out There open. I hope to get the chapter finished tomorrow, and if my creative juices are still flowing, maybe even finish the story over the coming days. I'm off work until Monday, so I'm hoping that I will be able to back into the swing of writing. I finally feel in the right place, mentally, to start writing...

So, here's a funny story.For anyone who read my previous blog, you will remember my rant about a guy who didn't text me back. I was quite upset, because I thought we had a connection, and he was nice and cute and funny.Well, I was talking to a friend today. She text, asking what was happening with the guy. I text her what happened. She rings me two minutes later, telling me she had talked to her...

So, I still have so many ideas going on in my head. Too many. There are so many stories I wanna get out, that I'm planning.So, why am I sitting at my computer, and writing this blog instead of writing?Because my motivation to actually physically type my shit out is literally at zero. Which is really frustrating, since I wanna get my stuff updated. I know where I'm going with my current stories....

So, last Friday night was Halloween. I dressed up for the occasion, and went to a friend's house party. Had a brilliant night. I even met a guy, who seemed really nice and charming. We spent hours talking at the pub, and yes, we made out (it didn't go any further). We stayed out til 4.30 in the morning, just talking, getting to know each other.He said I was pretty, that he thought I was hot even...

Why is it, whenever I think I'm back on track, something pops up?Right now, I have a really nasty cold. Not a cold where your nose is blocked and stuffy but otherwise you're okay, like I had last week. No, I'm talking full blown hoarse voice, chesty cough, chest ache, nauseating, headachey, sore throat, aching body and completely miserable kind of cold.It's sucked all my energy, which blows. I...

Yet again, I was made to feel ashamed of myself yesterday because of who I am. It wasn't even intentional. But, it rarely is.I was in a department store yesterday. I was browsing the clothing store with my friend, having a good time, when she pointed out something out to me. Knowing that I would be delighted to see the t-shirt, especially since it was a really good price, she was proud that she...

What's this? Lyra is on Mibba? And writing a blog?Why, yes. Yes I am.I started a new job, and I moved house last weekend, so life has been way hectic. Also, something I completely forgot about, was that working makes you shit tired for the first few weeks. I haven't had any energy in the evenings, then for the last few weekends I've had stuff on. So, writing has taken a back burner, sadly.My new...

As you can see, I'm back to my old alias.I didn't think I had grown so attached to my writing alias. I had picked the name randomly when setting up this account to read and comment years ago (back in the INO days). When I made the decision to start writing and publishing my stories on here, it was out of laziness that I didn't change it. So, when I came up with a new name, I was happy. I thought...

So, I started work this week.I'm freaking exhausted right now from all the travelling in the last few days, but otherwise, things are good. The girls I'm working with are so nice. They've been so welcoming and doing everything they can to help me settle in. The kids I'm gonna be working with are a nice bunch for the most part, and I'm gonna like working with them. The manager has been so lovely...

I decided to change my name. Lyra was a username I used to sign up to this site years and years ago, before I had any intention of writing. Then, when I did decide to write, I was too lazy to change it. I've always wanted to change it but I couldn't think of a username that I liked. Then, it came to me today.Action Kitty.Why?Because I love kitties. As proof, I'm just gonna leave a few pictures...

For anyone reading my last couple of blogs, here's an update.I rang the manager to tell her I took another job. It went okay, she just went really quiet and I could feel her anger over the phone. Ugh, I felt horrible, but straight afterwards, I felt all my anxiety melt away. I don't handle guilt well at all, but once I got the call over with, I felt so much lighter! Now, I'm uber excited about...

So, I was offered a job today (the one mentioned in yesterday's blog).I thought I'd be ecstatic upon the offer. Yet, I found myself completely overridden with anxiety. I felt torn, and I couldn't make myself ring the other company to tell them I had accepted another job. I felt this indecision, and when I was asked why, I couldn't give a proper answer. I thought it was down to stupid things, like...

I'm in a bit of a dilemma guys, and I don't know what the best thing to do is, so I would love some advice if anybody has any.I was job hunting. I had an interview with a couple of different places. Company One was with a very reputable company, which has great benefits like paid sick days (not normally given in the childcare sector), good pay (I think since they said they have a salary scale and...

I told myself that the next blog I wrote would not be negative in any way, but sometimes you read stuff in the news and you have to say something. This is merely my opinion on a subject. If you disagree with me on this, I have no problem with you telling me but please, no hate and please do not tell me I am wrong in my stance. Object and rebut, but my opinion is valid.As a 26 year old woman,...

So, right now, I have so many ideas. So many, I wonder if I'll ever get the time to write it all. You would think, seeing as how I'm not lacking in inspiration, I would be writing all the time. One might think that I would itching to write all my ideas. In one way, I am. But procrastination is an evil thing.That, ladies and gentleman, is the downside of creativity. I have no motivation to write,...
