I'm considering making a separate blog for it, even though it is part of my gap year...should I bother? Any input on it will be gladly welcomed.
It involves walking a really really long way with a couple of mates, it's inspired by Into The Wild and Geohashing, and I'd probably blog every night to keep people up-to-date (as well as the odd tweet). I'll also make a Twitter hashtag when I've thought of a cool name for the expedition.
So, new blog or keep on this one? You tell me!

A Leap of Faith
Some of you may be wondering where I've been for the last...*checks blog time tag*...month and five days! Now I realise it's been that long I'm wondering myself :S
Last time I was saying how the jobhunt had slowed down considerably. Well, last week it got to the point that I was getting pretty down, not because I couldn't find a job, but that I was on benefits because of it and I frankly wasn't feeling the love. In honesty, I've felt pretty horrible about claiming while being as well-off as I feel I am - with good reason of course; tax-payers aren't paying for me to sit and get bored.
Anyway, long story short, I had a chat with JC about it, and got the feeling I should sign off jobseekers. Being a Western Society human being, I naturally wanted a solid bit of evidence that I should be taking this leap of faith that I wouldn't be skint for the rest of the year (I know this contradicts the definition of faith, however...). No sooner had I asked Him for some clarity, I turned on my computer and my Gmail Notifier "pinged" at me saying I had received the latest Miracle Street newsletter, entitled "Leap of Faith!" - clarity I think, yes?
Better yet, not a few hours later I got another email (who says the internet is Godless, really?!) from Tavcom - whom I have worked for a few times in the past - saying they've got a bit of work for me, and on attending that on Friday, they gave me some more.
All in all, God is good.
Aside from that cool story (I'm sure it'd be cooler had I paraphrased it), I'm booked up for Soul Survivor B and C - chyeah! The Miracle Street touring thing looks set to go ahead, but I get the impression it might not be as extensive as I previously thought. I will hopefully be returning to SUbmerge again this year (i.e. I've written and I'm waiting for a reply). And Matt and I are considering a road-trip to Madrid to see Tori in September, but that depends on uni stuff as far as I'm concerned.
I'm sure I've bored you enough now - don't read blogs this long so I doubt anyone else does.
Fin.
