Why I like Luke

People have genuinely asked me this question about Luke Lucas in the past. I guess the short answer is that he has always made me feel included and needed in some way. I have never felt like that in my life and have always been the odd one out. The first time I met him he encouraged me to carry on with my writing, music and even silly gif making. On top of this he has asked me to be involved in his work. This is a huge honour for me. To be approached by someone I admire and look up to and to be asked for help is a huge confidence boost and I know every day how lucky I am. I want to try and spread this on. To make others feel needed and respected. He is a bit contagious like that, but thankfully he is. The whole thing is not without its complications, there is so much of a back story that you could never know, but these are my reasons.

Before I begin I would like to explain that I am no expert or 'Ripperologist' I am simply interested in this case and have done very limited research into the events that follow. This is ' Jack the Ripper ' for beginners so to speak. I have even linked some websites in that should help and this is a good place to start for more information: Casebook Ever since I can remember I have had a weird obsession with 'Jack the Ripper'. In fact I know when it was. I was 11 years old and I went to the London Dungeons where there was an actor playing the part of 'Jack the Ripper'. He took us on a 'tour of London' and showed us the 'Ripper' sites. At each stop along the way he told the story of what happened to each victim. Obviously this was in a way that would make us squirm, but the real details are even worse. I was chosen to be the last victim, Mary Kelly . My body was 'mutilated' and my entrails removed. What actually happened to this

My (anti) social experiment...and other tales

I was feeling down lately so I thought I would try coming off of Twitter. I know what you are going to ask...how down? Then, why twitter? Well for about as long as I can remember I have had periods of real lows. I don't just mean feeling a little down in the dumps, I mean full on I could throw myself in front of a bus moments. This got worse (through reasons that don't need discussing here) and became full on depression about 6 years ago. I dealt with the worst of it, but it comes and goes in bouts. Now for the reason why Twitter as opposed to Facebook or Tumblr or some other social networking site. Facebook has a lot of family and close friends on it. People who I care about and who deeply care about me. They would notice if I wasn't around. Plus, I like talking to people on there. The messages can be as long or as short as you like and my personal experience is generally a good one on that website. Then there is Tumblr. That website is just a crazy world full of fando
