Adventures of a Crazy Life

An 18 year old who thought her life was normal for the first 17 1/2 years and then found out it was no where near that Introduction: https://anunplannedgapyear.tumblr.com/post/176691569739/about-me

1st September 2018 - Remeberance and Tears Today marks the 3 year anniversary of the death of my friend. It still affects me so much and I don't know why. I spent the day trying to get on but eventually listened to one of the songs she had at her funeral.

31st August 2018 - Mind Clearing and Rock Climbing I spent most of the day in the cafe again but instead of going straight home I went indoor rock climbing instead because it's one of the things where I don't have to think about anything else in my life just climbing.

30th August 2018 - Housework and Job Applications

Today I was quite productive and managed to get a load of housework done, and finally sent in the job application I've been writing. I then had some downtime playing Stanley Parable, one of my favourite games.

29th August 2018 - Beer and Sandwiches I worked at the cafe I volunteer at again today, I got bar trained and poured my first pint. I'm starting to be given slightly more responsibility in there while the owner does other tasks. It's a nice way to spend the time that I would have been in college

28th August 2018 - Cleaning and Carrying

I spent the day cleaning up the cafe I volunteer at after the chaos that was pride and carrying things to the theatre above it or the cellar below. I was absolutely exhausted by th end of my shift.

27th August 2018 - Animals and Family We went to the zoo and took my step sister who had never been before, she loved it and tried to go love with the penguins. She kept asking what the animals like doing and she was so excited about the giraffes, her pronunciation of hippotamus is close but not quite right

26th August 2018 - Pillow Forts and Family memories It was a rainy day and my little step sister came over so me and my brother set up the play tents with her, filled them with cushions and just sat and relaxed for a while, her exclamations of "I've never done this before" and "this is the best day of my life" make it so worth it.

25th August 2018 - Rainbows and Pride Today was one of the most amazing days. It was my city's pride and I'm one of the volunteers. I'm absolutely exhausted as I write this (and slightly intoxicated) but I had the best day and can't wait to go it all again next year

24th August 2018 - Food Prep and Notices The beginning of the day wasn't great because I had to cut countless onions and make 30 cheese and tomato sandwiches which made my shift overrun by half an hour so I didn't eat lunch until 4pm. The end of the day was much better because I got noticed on twitter by some of my favourite youtubers and I had my favourite meal for dinner.

23rd August 2018 - Red Hair and Relaxation I redyed my hair today so it's now a beautiful bright red again, I also did most of a job application but it didn't save the last few bits and I got in a bit of a state so I stopped for the day and tidied my room. Now I'm sat in the bath watching Netflix and having some time to just relax. Lite has been stressful lately but I need to remember to take time out for myself

13th August 2018 I finally got a record player after 2 years having this album in my room and being unable to play it. I'm so glad I got it though, I'm just listening to it and relaxing, which is nice

12th August 2018 I just wanted to have time alone in the garden again to sort out my head but everyone else apparently wanted to be in the garden for one thing or another and now I haven't had enough time alone so I'm exhausted from being around people

11th August 2018 Although I had to go to work today I got to spend the evening at the temporary fun fair with my family. My little step sister had never been so my brother and I took her in the fun house and we got to watch her reaction to the rides, she loved it and spending time with her, and making happy memories with my family has been happening quite often. So today was an amazing day.

10th August 2018

I sat outside in the rain for 3 hours and felt the most at peace I had in a while, I finally got to clear my head for a while, which was definitely needed, overall it was a good day

6th August 2018 Today was an amazing day, I spent the afternoon with my little brother and my little step-sister and we went and played in the local park. Then after we got back and she had to go back home with her mum I finished rewatching one of my favourite films, which brings me to tears every time. I sort of wish I could spend every day with those two as I love them both with all my heart and they make me so happy.

About Me

I'm 18 and within the last year my life has gone tits up. I thought my life was normal for so long, normal family, normal household. But it turns out that wasn't the case. It started with my parents telling me they were in an open relationship and then I found out my mum was seeing my best friend's older brother, and then they began to fall in love, and then my parents split up, and then my dad moved out and my mum's boyfriend moved in. Then I started realising how much my dad screwed me up. And that's where we start

So Hi, I'm Clo and this is the crazy, weird life I'm stuck living
