Thanks LaFemme! Definitely helpful, I think I'll look into that and see if there's anything like that local, providing they don't use whistles......and best of luck becoming a full time artist! I'm sure you'll get there!
Cheers Recycle, I'm doing pretty well...just little things that come up that I thought were well and truly in the past.
Supercrew - thanks alot, I hadn't really looked at it from that perspective, but I can really relate to your post......part of my story is very similar to yours.
Do you feel that the 'you' that you were when you were 15-16 is the real you? I'm somewhat confused as to who I am now that I'm c & s, and I'm not all that keen to go back to who I was at 17...some aspects of my character were good, others definitely not so.
