Ahaha. We're not really big on Halloween here, you're generally too old for it when you're old enough that you might scare pensioners (so like, thirteen) but it has been becoming more popular for people my age, I know of a few people who have had parties this year.

At the moment I'm not going to get into the career I want, so all I need really IS just a job. I need the experience, but if I take a job that drains me I'll quit or be fired rather quickly and that will only damage my chances in the long run. I don't imagine a string of people declining to give me a reference would look very good.

As for my mum... I don't think she knows what she wants from me, to be honest. I can understand her not wanting Darren to stay here because he's a stranger, but she can't bump him off to a hotel, then say that his spending night time alone won't be 'fun for him' and then go on to say she doesn't want us to be awake at night together? Yeah... Even my grandma thought she was being silly.
