    Hello Richard,
    I would like to inform you that the Internet is wrong—I am not overly interested in tents. Trust me, they're not interesting.
    Please kindly remove me from your email list of tent-interested people.
    Ta!
    Hayley.

    December 14

    It’s like déjà vu all over again.

    By popular demand, and multiple death threats if I didn’t do otherwise,  I am now making a happy, and long awaited (one should hope) return to the blogging scene after one very long month- (Yes, November has increased by two weeks according to my last update)

    I’d plead for forgiveness and give you an incredibly lame sob-story about how busy I’ve been, but you have heard it before, so there’s no need to do it again. So instead I’ll plan to cure all diseases, gain world peace and abolish the acquisition of wealth as the driving force for humanity... and maybe update a little more frequently while college is out for winter, since faking my own death didn’t really work. 

    Truthfully, I think the whole crazy blogging fad has worn out for us original bloggers. I said it’d only last for a year, and look at us, updating less recurrently with very little to talk about. In some respects, I feel like Gwen Stefani.

    Why Gwen Stefani? I hear you cry.

    Mutton dressed as lamb. That’s all she is. No-one really likes her. And if you do, you still pretend you don’t. I don’t care how old she really is, but she does indeed dress younger than she should, and her music is just as distasteful as her clothes. She was good ages ago in the No Doubt years; but now, she’s just old muttony shit.

    You may now question what this has to do with how I feel, and still, why it should relate to Miss. Mutton,  if you’re no good at reading between lines. Well, it’s simple. I feel my time has come and gone as an “accomplished”  blogger (oooh, look at me being all holier-than-thou) Just as Gwen was once an “accomplished"  singer. Besides, the buzz of MSN spaces seems to have worn-thin, I said it‘ll only last a year.

    No-one is really interested in Are you in any more. New faces are appearing over the months with new, interesting and innovative spaces (or in some cases, maybe not) All I need now is to give up, bag myself a grandchild to sit on my knee as I pass on my wisdom along with a handful of Werther’s originals.

    Enough of that. Now to reinforce how much of a forgetful hypocrite I can be; Expect new blog soon.
    In the mean time, I think it’s about time I thank Emma, James and Karishma for participating in the Hayley Appreciation bands.

    Emma, using her cunning ingenuity, has managed to craft from the wrist band a beautiful sweat band donned gloriously upon her head.
     

     
    James, has gone to town with his hand, and dolled it up with a smiley face.
     

     
    And Karishma, the clever li'l chicken and my "ever faithful minion", has transformed my crazy fad into a crazy cult, and is most definitely the first to join. She is in… Are you?
