The 24th of July. Just another day in my summer break. At around 2 weeks in, I haven't done anything noteworthy. Except perhaps, start a blog?

I'm not normally so... boring. Or so bored actually. At least, I don't think so. It's probably because I'm fighting with my best friend... not that he knows that. I'm just not sure whether I want to be around him, or anyone who could be so unnecessarily spiteful. Then again, I'm probably overreacting. I have no idea anymore.

I feel as if I should be doing something meaningful. Instead, I spend my days watching one tree hill, browsing the internet, and playing the psp, interspersed with small periods of activity (such as 'getting food', or the ever exciting 'throwing a ball in a bin'). Then I go to work, and spend a couple of hours making the same small talk to customers, or sitting in an awkward silence. The joy.

There are things that I should be doing as well - I obviously need to find some colleges to apply to for a start... but then, you wouldn't know that, as I've not described myself at all.

So, let's say my name is 'Joe Wood'. I'm 17 years old, and I live in the south of England. I've studied for 4 AS-levels at college this academic year, and intend to take them all to full A-levels. I can definately get a grade A in all four of them if I try, and I plan to.

I have brown hair, and blue/grey eyes (last time I checked). I live with my parents and have a sibling. I realise this is all rather vague, but I guess I should protect my identity. Maybe one day I'll say more.

So anyway, I have a lot of thing that I really should be doing, including the following:
> Find good universities to go to
> Learn to drive a car / ride a moped

I can't actually think of anything else that I really should be doing... guess I lied. But there are definately a few things I'd like to do as well, which are within my reach as far as I know:
> Learn to play guitar
> Read classic books
> Get better at basketball
> Exercise
> Meet new people, make new friends
> Actually hang out with my current 'friends'

I don't know, are they my friends if I haven't talked to them for a few weeks? Or months actually, in some cases. That's definately something I'll have to work on.

I'm not sure what my problem is. I suppose I don't really trust anyone. But then, I don't relly talk to anyone anymore. Well, that's not true - I'm quite talkative... just not to my friends, recently. But then, how could I trust them if I never talk to them?

Well, the answer is obviously to talk to someone - I'm off to phone a friend

'Joe'.
