Since the money's disappeared by PAYE ever since I graduated, I've never really noticed not having it if you see what I mean, but when it's paid off (in just over a year hopefully), it'll be like getting a nice £275/month take-home pay rise. :)

My biggest problem right now is working out what I want to do. It's a blessing and a curse that I'm able to find pretty much anything that's in some way intellectually stimulating interesting.

This morning on the way to work I was pondering what it'd be like to be involved in the scientific study of painting. That is to say decorative painting with one colour and big brushes and rollers. Not artistic painting! That'd be silly! Hopefully the counselling and CBT I'm going to be starting soon will help me focus my energies better and actually stick to something long enough to achieve my potential at it.

Another thing I'd like to do when I'm older (and have hopefully achieved something worthwhile in the field I finally choose to enter) is write a book about my experiences of being bi polar, dealing with the only persistent goal I have - achieving "great things" and how I've gone about life in the hope of providing the sort of inspiration I've taken from Kay Redfield Jamison's An unquiet mind.

always wanted to do Great Things. At school I was way ahead of everybody in Physics, and towards the end of 6th form I could even teach my teacher things. But I don't do exams well, in fact I hate them! Hence the fact that I never got into uni despite the fact of needing really crap grades, and had my teachers all berating me for what they saw as lazyness.

I still do physics for myself, and fun, and have come up with some startling theorem which I've been told is correct and in advanced of stuff that going on now.

I just can't apply myself properly.

That sounds exactly like me but in chemistry except as my bi polar has gotten worse my following of chemistry has dwindled to nowt.

*sigh*

I'm thinking of pulling out all my A level maths text books, getting back up to speed with maths then whipping out the a level and degree level chemistry textbooks I have. I'd not want to go back to uni until I felt I was back up to speed again.

I think my first priority needs to be dealing with what I've posted earlier and getting to the end of the year when I should get my driving license back. My days are far too long at the moment without it for me to even consider studying. Hell they're so long that I'm struggling to motivate myself to look for a job nearer home.

:edit: Dok it sounds like you *are* doing great things. It also sounds to me like you're capable enough of getting through university on grants and scholarships. I'm sure you could get support there to help you apply yourself better too.

:edit 2: For fuck sake. Now I've got an idea in my head about setting up a charity to help support people in school who, like you and I, have ability but for some reason or another struggle with school be it finding exams difficult, teachers uninspiring or just can't apply themselves.

I just got a taper to take me from 5mm to 6mm, a couple of 6mm flare eyelet tunnels for work, and as a treat, a couple of 6mm acrylic horns to see if I suit them.

I might stretch higher than 6mm, but it was my first stopping point to see if I like them :)

I have GPS on my phone, so I'm sure I'll find the pub without looking too much like a tourist ;)

I'm at 18mm myself, I've mostly just bought the jewelry and stretch that way since about 3mm.

It's a piece of cake even without GPS. Just turn left out of Marylebone station, walk down Marylebone Road until you get to Great Portland Street tube station, then turn right down Great Portland Street. About a 15 min walk if memory serves me correctly.

Here. have a rubbish joke.
A pair of chickens walk up to the desk at a library and say, 'Buk Buk BUK.' The librarian decides that the chickens desire three books, and gives it to them...and the chickens leave shortly thereafter.

Around midday, the two chickens return to the circulation desk quite vexed and say,' Buk Buk BuKKOOK!' The librarian decides that the chickens desire another three books and gives it to them. The chickens leave as before.

The two chickens return to the library in the early afternoon, approach the librarian, looking very annoyed and say, 'Buk Buk Buk Buk Bukkooook!' The librarian is now a little suspicious of these chickens. She gives them what they request, and decides to follow them.

She followed them out of the library, out of the town, and to a park. At this point, she hid behind a tree, not wanting to be seen. She saw the two chickens throwing the books at a frog in a pond, to which the frog was saying, "Rrredit Rrredit Rrredit..."
