My Journey

I left doing this for a while for a couple of reasons. 1) So that I had time to work out what I could put in here and 2) So that people forgot what other people wrote so you can't see if I am just copying it from someone else LOL. I have changed the group titles because the ones that were there just showed up my complete lack of life. But perhaps these will show that more :D
