    genius - that's just made me grin (and I need that),
    wonder if it's the same person who claimed to have tried to pay their bills with a doodle of a spider?:D

    Munchki -
    this'll probably come out wrong (sounds better in my head) but I hope things soon get better for you. I know from experience how hard it is when life/everything seems against you but (usually)things work out (if not perfect but ok or at least better), they do - honest.
    Keep on keeping on, ok.

    Had a bit of a wobble today, been a bit tearful re dead music people (esp Alex
    Chilton, listening to Big Star's Kangaroo probably didn't help)
    got a proper communication block at the moment, am high fuctioning austic - it doesn't just affect talking but writing/typing as well. I'm stimming like *beep* (wrist flicking in frustration:mad: and mentally hitting walls just trying to type this.)

    Got so many things I want to write about but feel like its too hard dragging the words out and it'll only be rubbish/nobody'll want to read it anyway etc.

    Realised today that I'm terrified of getting too involved with projects (especially seriously producing a Clash/Joe Strummer fanzine), in case I get overwhelmed/can't cope with it all or suddenly lose interest and end up letting people down.
    I get obsessed with things like bands / websites / tv programmes - because of being on the autistic spectrum - and sometimes it's like my mind (non deliberetly) overcompensates for being fixated by going into avoidance mode.

    hit a dead end and run out of words now - can anyone point me in the derection of some creative inspiration/give me a kick up the bacdkside or summut?

    Just wondering if anyone would mind trying leaving a comment on my blog so I can see how (if) it works. But only if you feel ok about it. Jo x

    just commented. Wasn't sure how to get to post comments at first, is it possible to add a more obvious link to post comments at the bottom of each post?

    Jenna, can understand what you mean - I get obsessed with stuff then drop it quickly, I have a load of unfinished projects to prove it! Know what you mean about feeling rubbish about stuff too. I've found that if I write something any old how, save it, then come back to it another time and edit it, then keep doing this, eventually I get something I'm happy with. I over-analyse stuff and it ends up seeming crap, even if it isn't, it's hard not to do this but if you ever want someone to have a look at something (only for writing style etc, am not great on music!) I'd be happy for you to PM me it to have a look at it, it's probably nothing like as bad as you think, from your posts you seem to have a very thorough style and good vocabulary :) Ok seriously now, bed!!
