This is my life

flyboy_foxI'd like to say a few quick things:
1) It's come to my attention that the post I made about buying rum at Tesco might have come across as offensive. I apologise unreservedly if anyone felt I was being racist. I can be dense sometimes. I certainly had no intention of being offensive, and I'm sorry.
2) I do not think that I am better than anyone. Despite all the 'fickin' stuff which probably has some of you scoffing at me in disgust, I honestly believe that I am a regular flawed not-particularly-strong person, and one who has made many many mistakes. I am not a genius, I am not an expert mechanic, I am not even a mature and/or well-grounded individual. I am just me. If I talk about 'being Tails', you can just humor me. I have never attempted to be anyone I'm not or act any particular way. I'm hoping that those who read my LJ can see that I certainly make no attempt to 'sound like' Tails x.o It goes without saying, but I am far from perfect and I do not believe myself to be anything special or unique at all.
3) In that same vein - I have done some very stupid things in my life, and I openly admit and regret them. Disability or not, there is no excuse for what I have put certain people in my life through. But at the same time, the people close to me CHOOSE to stay close. I don't believe that any of them only stay with me out of fear that I'll react badly if they leave me. I have some amazing people in my life and I love them with all my heart.
Okay, now that I've said what needed to be said (and thanks to the anon who got me thinking about all that - I feel much better now)...
Yesterday was a good day :) Jei bought me a scratch card and I won £10 on it! And she won £1 on the one I got for her the other day, so we can claim £11 next time we're in Tesco or a convenience store.
Also, the coolest thing happened! Barclays Bank was so apologetic for messing up Jei's international student account that they sent her two bottles of wine and a huuuge two-tier box of Thornton's chocolates! Neither of us drinks wine, so she said she'd like to give it to my mom, which was really sweet. But the chocolates, mmm...
I just wanna say that I'm proud of Jei. She's amazing. I just don't know what I'd do without her. Y'hear that, Jei? I love you n.n
Well, that's it for now. Catch ya later, Journal!
