Perhaps it was simply excess Morrissey with me too? I remember a period in my late teens when a particularly horrible boyfriend said he thought I was a latent lesbian - because I wouldn't have sex with him - and I spent months agonising about whether or not I fancied women, and if that was what had stopped me taking that step with him. (I didn't/don't, for the record - it was actually the fact that he was a twit which stopped me doing the deed.) The diary entries around that point made me cringe! <br><br>I ceremoniously burned them all, and kind of regret it. Parts of them were proper hysterical, but others were quite sad. If I could go back to my 19-year-old self, I'd certainly tell her to take some different roads. <br><br>I wonder if I'll look back on my blog and say the same, years down the line? (Curiously, I ended each diary entry with a quote from a song - old habits die hard, hey?)Cathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11858850210791504996noreply@blogger.com
