First Gorge E1. Abseiled off in the dark!Slick - Lead O/S - 14/Apr/14 with Kevin Vans-Colina
Hidden - Lead O/S - 13/Apr/14
Last route of the day - literally! Helen took a little while to battle to the top and by the time Phil an dI set off to second it must have been after 8pm. Got down from the ab just before 9pm, walked out in the gathering gloom but just about managed not to have to use a head torch! A great route - the pockets look like the kind of stuff in photos from somewhere in Spain and the crux section is superb if polished. Helen finished to the left at the Suspense belay, which added some 5a moves to traverse across. Also seconded Helen up Suspense and Phil up the Earl of Perth.Misha - 2nd O/S - 13/Apr/14 with Helen, Phil

Quite possibly the best climb I've done at Avon. I wouldn't say it's soft for E1, but it's definitely not hard for E1. The line of pockets and the traverses are both stunning. Didn't bother with the crappy looking easy second pitch, climbed straight up then left to the Arete belay. Where's the peg mentioned in the guidebook btw? Didn't find it.pheotleyr - Lead O/S - 09/Dec/13 with Mike

Fantastic route, possibly best ever. Most pumped I have been on a trad route, felt so good to get clean! Ran it as 1 pitch, shame there isn't a lower off at the top of the 1st pitch as the second is pointlesssteve-grigg - Lead rpt - 02/Sep/13
I just managed the tough crux move up to the peg before having to take a short rest. Higher up I lost my bearings and ended up at the left hand ab point. Really nice route but a shame about the poor quality upper pitch. Andrew Sloan - Lead dog - 31/Aug/13 with Martin Haworth

Got to be one of my favourite routes I've climbed so far. Pleased with how smoothly it went especially as I hadn't warmed up beforehand. JamesRich - Lead O/S - 09/Aug/12 with Rob stanfield
First E1 and 4th lead. Led in one pitch, went up right the wrong way, ended up in a vegetated groove finishing at some massive stake at a full rope length. Very scary, felt my balls grow as I powered through the crux traverse. Very pumped on polished crimps so couldn't stop to put gear in and ended up risking massive fall.

Ground up. Blew the on-sight due to crappy rope work and a hangover. Mid crux decided to back up the peg, bomber camalot 1 above the peg, clipped under rather than over the double rope causing horrendous rope drag, tried to reverse the crux, got pumped and slumped onto the gear. Swore. Lowered, pulled ropes and climbed clean. Kemics - Lead - 25/Mar/12 with Katherine

Me and The Norfolk Machine rocked up for another crack at Limbo with TNM ready to push E1 lead and show a little less disco leg. To be fair he stormed it, and we took the traverse route at the top of the first pitch to join Suspense and head for the abseil plate as we were climbing on a single 60m rope, and the rockfax P2 4b would have left us too high.
For the follow it was a decent pumpy climb with an excellent crux that's solved with a small left hand side pull. It's difficult to see when you're below the thin ledge when you head out left above the first peg, but you can stretch out to find it. From there you can take your feet left also and almost layback to reach above to a good hold allowing you to gain feet upwards. Easier to do on a second. It would have felt bold on lead, and TNM uused his monkey-like skills to get up without ever finding it. An excellent rest awaits with ambple knee-bar in the small cave to shake out, and then power on.ashley_sandeman - 2nd β - 20/Aug/11 with Richard Miles

As good fun as last time. Did as one pitch doing a variation, finishing at the belay plate of suspension bridge arete. Stanners - 2nd rpt - 24/Jul/11 with Jack Bradbrook
Amazingly good climbing! Lots of people think its really pumpy but I reckon as long as you don't dick around placing gear on the steep sections for like half an hour its fine.Quarryboy - Lead O/S - 24/Jul/11 with Rob Stanfield

Gary P1, Chris P2
Guide book doesn't make it clear that if you take the option of belaying on the left, you aren't in the right position to start P2. After ending up there, we ended up down-climbing to the start of P2, setting up a second belay, then doing P2. Wished we hadn't bothered as P2 was very poor quality compared to P1.Chris Sansum - AltLd O/S - 03/Jul/10 with Gary Lewin

ZodiacChic Post:Aquarius
Zodiac Files: Aquarius is pretty good at….
"An Aquarius understands everybody needs their space, so when they don't talk to you for a while, it DOESN'T mean they ended the friendship."
Aquarius 3, 12, 2014: Visit astrology notes for more awesome horoscopes.You can get a free astrology birth chart here.
Aquarius - Alice in Revolutionland
The sign of Aquarius is ruled by the cosmic rebel Uranus and electrifies the zodiac with blue bolts of revolution, individuality and the most wicked, obscure and eccentric ideals. Lewis Carroll was an Aquarian and gave Alice her adventure in Wonderland; and expect the unpredictable, the colourful and rather curious with these individuals. Aquarians are intrinsically dissatisfied we live in a less than ideal world, and constantly dream up new universal vision and protests to pour into their humanitarian urges. The archetype of Aquarius traditionally associates with The Eccentric, The Visionary and The Revolutionary; and although they live in a water bubble of their own, Aquarius become intoxicated by the romance of the unusual and float through the universe blowing cosmic spritzes of fresh air into the mundane.
The stories of Uranus are full of unusual riddles and represents the celestial homeland of reform and revolution. Aquarians enjoy the sensuality of their own thoughts and wander through an in mind dream-portal of mystifying and erratic brainwave activity that provides the spontaneous bursts of radical ideas. The Aquarian style is impossible to define, and they vibrate to a low, cool frequency that is uniquely original and commonly borders into the unconventional. These individuals become discontent in environments that do not allow them to express their individuality and express no hesitation initiating new trends or styling themselves beyond the realms of fashion. Aquarians have little regard for the regulations of consensual society and tend naturally stand against any authority that presents itself. Their appreciation of mind exploration and new discovery can make hallucinogenics or other recreational drugs seem attractive. Company relishes in the presence of Aquarius, and they tend to be well loved for their rebellion. Even those close to these individuals may be terminally puzzled by their odd habits or rituals; Aquarians may spend days chatting to you than strangely disappear into a silent confinement.
Aquarius is the sign of social consciousness and they are immediately engaged by anything new or cutting edge. The original mind of Aquarius is a fertile ground for the birth of new and radical ideals and traditionally relates to mad scientists and frenetic professors. Typically free thinking and playful, Aquarians can rebel for the pleasure of it all and deliberately attempt to shock people. They can be so involved in their own thoughts and projecting their ideals that their personal appearance becomes neglected; they eschew mainstream trends and look like they haven't slept much - which they probably haven't. Aquarius are refreshing, complex and invigorating individuals who are flooding with progressive ideas a glowing free spirited soul that wishes to never settle. Guided by a profound curiosity compass and a succulent, rapturous inner mind wonderland, Aquarius walk the borderline between genius and madness; where life and expression is sure to be full of surprises, electric shock and the heavenly filters of new world orders.
The Air signs can seem a little lazy - letting their houses fill with clutter, procrastinating, staring out the window… and yet just because they are not physically moving does not mean they are not traveling or wandering.. their minds are libraries of words with tangents of…

Anonymous said: Hi! I'm an aqua f and I'm in a relationship with a virgo m. Everything's been amazing so far. When it comes to talking about feelings, he helped me so much cause I'm very open now when it comes to talking about feelings with him. What bothers me is that I'm scared something might happen and everything will get ruined because of it so I wondered if you could give me a heads up for what might happen and what I should be careful with? Thank you so much! Amazing blog btw! x
Awwww well that is great to hear you have such an amazing relationship! :) The only two problems I can notice in this match is that sometime you may have a problem understanding one another and you being an Aqua you tend to be stubborn and opinionated a lot. That usually one of Aqua's top downfalls. So all you really have to be careful with is closing yourself off from him causing communitcation to go off and letting your strong personality affect you relationship. Even when you are right sometimes you have to give in to things you are strong about. Other than that you both should be beautiful! Just keep communication going and you will be great! :)
Anonymous said: Can you like "analysis" I guess an Aquarius that was born on February 1st, please and thank you!! :)
Yes I can :) You attract danger. You are a rebel who like to follow the rules and values. On your terms, yes but nonetheless you like to follow them. You tend to get deeply involved in your dark emotions a little more that you care to. You are friendly and have many friends but you never really get close to any of them. You tend to have the same distance in your relationships as well.
You are a stricter parent but you use your childhood experience as a pushing point to raise our kids which is great! Health wise you have a slight nonchalant attitude to health. Job wise, you need a job that gives you freedom.
All in all independence is your thing. You love it, live it and show it very well!

I'm Broken When I'm Lonesome; I Don't Feel Right5 Reviews
Drama... lots of drama...
"Vicky? Good, you're up," she said. I was so confused, still half asleep and my mom was talking to me. Great plan. I'm not particularly horrible when I wake up, but I'm just very disorientated.
"Uhuh... hello," I said groggily.
"Morning. I just wanted to tell you that the other two have left, and I'm going to work now, but I'll be back in about an hour because the plumber is coming to fix a small problem we have with the boiler. Ok?"
Only absorbing half of what she just said so speedily, I nodded along, just about registering that she would be coming back soon. "Yeah, ok."
"Alright then, I'm off now. See you in a bit." And she left my room as quickly as she woke me up.
I groaned before rolling over and burying my head in my pillow. After so many mornings of waking up next to Brendon, wearing a little less than my pyjamas, it felt weird to have no-one there. No gorgeous face to make me smile when I woke up.
However, simply the thought of that gorgeous guy just downstairs made me smile insanely. As I realised that I was no longer tired, I glanced over at my clock: it read 8:43am. The front door slammed shut, meaning that there was no-one else home other than Brendon and me. That got me up. I jumped out of bed to freshen up a bit in my bathroom (brushing my teeth and hair and washing my face) then I walked downstairs until I reached his room.
Gently but loudly, I knocked on his door. I twisted the handle and poked my head around the white-painted wood to see a slowly awakening Brendon Urie, making me smile as always.
"Hey," I said, strolling over to his bed.
"Morning... God, it's weird not waking up next to you," he said, sitting up in his bed.
"Oh, I know! It's really strange. My mom came to wake me up..." I rolled my eyes. "But then I realised that I was in bed, alone, when I could be with you."
Brendon smiled at me dreamily. "In that case, I'm glad you woke me up..." He paused for a moment before asking too sincerely, "Are you going to kiss me then or what?"
I giggled before giving in and kissing him. Winding my arms around Brendon's neck, I pressed my body closer to him as he pulled me towards him. Smoothly, he poked his tongue out of his mouth and slid it across my soft lips, so I opened my mouth widely, allowing him to invade me. We made out for a while, enjoying the intimacy we shared, undisturbed by anyone else.
Gently, I pulled away from him briefly to speak, and catch my breath. "Brendon? My mom's going to be back in a little while actually. That's why she woke me up: to tell me."
"Alright then. Why's she coming back?"
"Some plumber is coming to fix something... I don't know, I wasn't paying much attention. I was still half asleep at the time," I mumbled, laughing all the same.
"Ok. Shall we get some breakfast then?"
"Sounds good. Should I meet you downstairs?"
"Yeah sure, I'll just change and stuff first." Instead of saying anything, I kissed him sweetly and left the room.
After making some English pancakes for us (the really thin pancakes traditionally eaten with lemon and sugar and they're rolled up), which were extremely tasty, we were lounging about the living room as sunlight filtered through the large windows behind us. I snuggled into Brendon's chest on the sofa. Wrapping one arm around my body, Brendon used his other free hand to flick through the limitless amount of channels we had. We hadn't decided what to do today just yet, but mutually, we agreed to stay in this position together for a while. That is the great thing about Brendon: we don't always have to do something together to enjoy ourselves, and he always understands me, regardless of whether I even said anything at all!
Finally, since he couldn't find anything to watch, he decided on Kerrang! TV, which was currently playing "We Sleep Forever" by Aiden.
"This song is so awesome!" My voice broke the silence; all the while, I bopped my head along to the beat.
"I know, right!" Brendon replied in a scarily camp fashion. "You look so cute when you do that."
"Do what?"
"Bang or bounce your head like that. You look adorable," Brendon sweetly remarked, a certain dreamy aura in those huge, deep, inviting chocolates set into his perfectly crafted face. Just my thoughts made me smile.
Adjusting my position slightly, I said, "I'm so glad that you're here right now. I've had so much fun."
"I know, babe, I've really enjoyed this past week, or whatever. I love spending time with you." No matter how sincerely he said it, he only realised what he had said after the words had escaped his lips. His face changed completely to something serious as he tried to save himself from digging a hole. "I, erm, I didn't mean... what I meant was..." Sadly, that is what he managed to do.
"I love you," I interjected for him to save his rosy cheeks from glowing any brighter.
"That too," he laughed at himself. He kissed me passionately, breaking off shortly after. We resumed our original position on the sofa: hugging eachother and watching a monkey dance across the TV with a guitar in hand (I'm guessing you can figure out what song I mean here? :P)
"So what's on the agenda for today? Feel like doing anything?" I asked.
"Hmm... We still didn't finish that game of DDR, did we?"
"True. Are you challenging me?"
"I think I am," he said surreptitiously.
"I'll beat you though, you know that," I stated pompously.
"You think so? We'll just have to wait and see... We could always watch a movie or something too."
"Oh yeah, we never did that either!" I laughed briefly, Brendon laughing along too. "Should I go and get the DDR mat then?" I patted Brendon's knee, signalling for him to let me go from his embrace.
"Ok," he replied simply.
I headed upstairs, but on my way, I noticed the DVD's stacked up in our spare room and one caught my eye. Smiling, I picked it up and flashed it in Brendon's face once I rushed downstairs again. "THE OC!" I practically screamed, getting extremely excited, clutching season 1 in my hand.
"Oh my god, you have The OC? That's my favourite TV show, or was..."
"Mine too!" Yes, what a coincidence... "I have all of them except for season 4."
"That season was crappy anyways."
"Thankyou!" I threw my hands up for emphasis here. "Exactly my point. The 1st season was the best, by far."
"Totally right, babe. It's slowly gone downhill since."
At that moment, I heard a key twisting in the front door before it crashed open, seeming to make a lot of noise. "Hello," my mom called while struggling to close the door with her bags in her hands. She managed, eventually.
"Hi mom," I greeted her. I walked into the hallway.
"Nice to see you're awake now. Morning Brendon," she added, seeing Brendon appear from the living room. He returned her gesture.
"What are you pair doing today then?" she asked us.
"We were gonna watch The OC for a bit. If that plumber is coming, I think we'll go upstairs, ok?"
"Yeah, sure." My mom turned away and walked back to the kitchen. Grabbing Brendon's arm, I dragged him up the stairs to my room, shutting the door and turning on my portable TV. It was also a DVD player.
"Should I just start it from the beginning or what?" I asked, wondering which disk to play.
"Yeah, I guess it makes more sense," he agreed. Yet again, we were lying on my bad closely after I had hit play. "The theme tune is brilliant too - Phantom Planet."
"You have to love this song, don't you?" I asked, more rhetorically than anything. Brendon, sensing that, nodded.
About half an hour into the 1st episode, just as Ryan and Seth were going to get their asses kicked by the Water-polo team, my phone began to ring. Perched on my desk, a few metres away, it was just too far to reach. As Time to Dance got louder, I weakly reached out for my phone, obviously fooling around impersonating Seth Cohen. I exerted a short giggle from Brendon, and then I wriggled off the bed to answer it. Brendon paused the episode.
"Hello," I said welcomingly: the Caller ID has read Ben.
"Hey..." he responded. Ben sounded extremely sad and depressed, as if he had been crying since he was sniffling quietly. Either that or he has an incredibly bad flu. It changed my mood instantly.
"Wow, what's up? Are you ok?" I softened my tone dramatically, concern plastered on my face.
"No actually... Erm... I wanted to call you..." Ben muttered. Pressing the phone to my ear to hear him better, Brendon asked who it was and I mouthed a response.
"You can tell me, what is it?"
"Well, it's my parents... My - my dad got a bit drunk and... he stayed out all night getting more drunk..." he paused to sniffle loudly. Slowly, he continued. "When he got back this morning, my parents... they were arguing a lot... He hit her... then he - he hit me..."
"Oh my god..." Closing my eyes, I empathised with Ben. "Wh- I, erm... Are you hurt?"
"A little... Look, is there any way you could meet me? I want to get out of here..."
How could I meet him? He is one of my closest friends, but I'm here with Brendon! I'm not going through that again... But he needs my help... I looked over at Brendon swiftly before biting my lip and saying, "I'll see what I can do."
I snapped my phone shut and came back to join Brendon on the bed; he was lying on his side with his head leaning on his hand. "What did he want?" Brendon asked, rolling his eyes very discretely.
"Erm, he's had some problems with his parents. Well, a drunken father hitting him and his mom."
"God, is he ok? I've had enough experience with this kind of thing," Brendon tried to laugh. "Sorry, bad joke."
"It's ok. Would it be alright if I go and see him then?" I finally asked, realising that Brendon was always understanding; he wouldn't mind, would he?
"What?" he fired up instantly. Oh... a little angry then...
"He just wants someone to talk to..." I explained calmly.
"And he phoned you for that? Couldn't phone anyone else, could he?"
"Ben probably didn't feel like he could talk to anyone else. Are you still jealous of him? I thought we sorted this out!" A mixture of emotions was winding me up: confusion, anger and love, I realised.
"I wouldn't have a problem if my girlfriend didn't go running to Ben as soon as he clicks his fucking fingers!"
"Why can't you see how much I love you?! Because I do!" I insisted.
"It's not about love."
"No, it's about trust; you don't trust me," I stated coldly, not really giving him the chance to defend himself.
"Of course I trust you! I love you!" his tone softened slightly as he said this from his angry, venomous streak.
"Love isn't everything! Just because you love me, doesn't mean you trust me!"
"Just go and see him," he huffed, turning his back on me immaturely.
"What? What do you mean?"
"I mean, you go and see Ben. I'll stay here."
"I'm not leaving you. And I'm not leaving my own house!" I stood my ground, or tried to.
He turned back sharply; "Go! Just go!" Brendon's voice boomed loudly through the silence, so loudly it scared me. The look on his face was nothing like I had ever seen before; the lust and twinkle in his eyes had gone; no smile played around his plump lips.
Instead of fighting any longer (I hated fighting), I roughly grabbed my purse and left the room as quickly as I could. A single tear finally trickled down my cheek as I slipped out the front door, avoiding any possible interrogation from my mother.
Cold wind thrust at my face immediately as I walked up my street. Some of my hair flew randomly in the air. I began to think about my next move: where was I actually heading? I certainly wasn't going to see Ben now; I would simply have to apologize to him and talk to him later. I'll just give Brendon some time... Maybe he'll talk to me later?...
Reaching the end of my road within minutes after leaving a message on Ben's phone, I decided to drop into the small grocery shop on the corner to get a few things I needed. Thoughts kept flooding through my mind as I picked up various items and carried them in a basket: What was I going to say to Brendon?
Many confused debates in my head later, I decided to just apologize and stress that I never even went to see Ben when I spoke to Brendon. Then, I supposed that I would see how it went from there... I only hoped it went well.
Subconsciously, I paid for my groceries and my legs began to walk me back home. I passed countless, identical, semi-detached houses on my way, seeing larger houses as I progressed, but they were all a blur: merely another misty maze in my already clouded, unfocused mind. Where was my shoulder to cry on when I needed help?! Finally seeing things more clearly now, I realised that I had acted far too close to Ben; Brendon had every right to be upset with me. Well, maybe that's a bit of an understatement... The corners of my mouth twitched upwards at my last thought...
But they fell back down almost instantly and I stopped dead in my tracks. I almost dropped my grocery bags at what I saw: a taxi pulling out of my driveway. There was no need to peer 'subtly' into the window to see who was inside; it was all too horribly obvious who it was.
Sprinting at my front door, I screamed internally and let out a moan in sheer frustration as I fought with a stupid door and its keyhole. A lifetime of cursing inwardly later, the door was flung open, my purse and bag dropped carelessly to the floor and I was racing up the stairs frantically. Stumbling, I continued to climb the cream-carpeted obstacles. I slammed into a door (it thankfully obliged willingly to my harsh action) only to find the room behind it empty, no clothes scattered around the floor. Now I was getting desperate. He couldn't have gone...
The door had already slammed shut so I wrestled it open. I may as well have jumped down a floor and screamed "Tallyho!" at the speed I was running at. Panicking intensely, my mom came out of the kitchen, presumably because she heard what must have been a very loud racket.
Not bothering to wait for questions, I blurted out quickly, "Mom, where's Brendon?" My breathing was rapid and shallow; I was shaking slightly.
"Well, what do you mean? He's gone," she replied innocently.
"Gone? What do you mean, gone? Gone to the store, gone to the hairdressers, gone where?!" I exclaimed. Bulging eyes popping out of my head were even beginning to scare me.
"To Vegas."
"Yeah. He told me he had an urgent phone call so he had to leave, and you were getting him some last minute things he needed. He said he was going to meet you and say goodbye on the way..." my mom concluded, obviously realising that what she had been told was not true. How could I let him slip away?! He can't be gone, he just can't!
Gulping hard and painfully, my mom's words stopped washing over my head and they hit me like an asteroid colliding with another planet. Twisting my fists into my hair, I yanked at it out of annoyance in myself. Then I swiped my phone out of my jacket pocket and dialled a number. I walked away from my mother and wandered into my study room.
Nobody answered it, as I guessed, so I left a message after the beep. "Hey, Brendon. Look, I'm so sorry about what happened. Just, please, don't go... We can sort this out..." I paused, trying to think of what to say. "And just so you know, I didn't go to see Ben... Please call me..." At that point, I hung up and sighed heavily. Now what? Then I thought of something. I dialled another number which I had been given 3 days before.
It rang a few times before anyone answered the phone, and I was met with a rough male's voice. "Hello?"
"Ryan! It's Vicky," I said breathlessly.
"Oh hey... Is something wrong?" Ryan sounded disorientated; there was no doubting that I had just woken him up.
"I'm sorry to wake you Ryan..."
"It's ok, don't worry about it," he slipped in quickly.
"It's just... Brendon. We got in a fight and now he's gone... had he phoned you or Spencer or Jon?"
"No...You got in a fight? What about?"
"Something too stupid. Can you let me know if he calls or anything?"
"Yeah, yeah, sure. No problem... so he's just left you?"
"Well, he left without me knowing and now he's heading to Vegas I think." I explained to him.
"Oh ok... Are you alright?"
At first, I didn't respond: I was not ok. But this was Ryan, and he had always been nice to me, and he was a guy after all. "I've been better."
"I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. Brendon does get a bit over the top at stuff, I'm sure it'll be fine."
"Thanks. See you soon."
"Yeah, bye."
We both hung up and once I put my phone back in my pocket, I walked back into the hallway to meet my mother again.
"Vicky, what's going on?" As much as she was trying to be sympathetic, there was a very stern hint in her voice.
"Sorry... we got in a fight and... he went back to Vegas I guess."
"Oh... I'm sorry."
An idea sprung to my mind: what if I went after him?! I need to see him and sort this out... "Mom, can I go after him? Please?"
"Vicky, you are not going after some... guy. You are not going to Las Vegas alone like that!"
"But mom, I love him!" I emphasised, shouting. But once I had said it, I really regretted it.
"I'm sorry, what? You love him?" I didn't reply. Going with her initiative here, she laughed sarcastically. "So, you think you're in love with a boy you've known for only just over a week? Next thing you're gonna say is that you've slept together!"
Fuck... What a thing to be sarcastic about! I hung my head and avoided her gaze at all costs. "Oh my god," my mom said, shocked. "Go up to your room, now! And give me your phone and iPod!" I wasn't having the best luck with angry people today, was I?
Almost in tears now, because I had not only lost Brendon but my mom was annoyed with me, I handed over what she wanted and traipsed up to my room, dragging my feet. Allowing the door to slam shut simply because I couldn't be bothered to hold it and gently close it, I flopped onto my bed. I thought things over for a while, frustrated that I couldn't talk to anyone or even just listen to my fucking iPod! Being trapped inside your head is not fun.
Thankfully, I still had my huge, old stereo in my room so I played my Evanescence CD - /The Open Door/; my CD collection was limited compared with the selection I had on my 8GB iPod Nano. It successfully depressed me more, so in a strange way, I was happy.
Here's how I spent my day after that: I listened to Evanescence, followed by Panic! at the Disco, Fall Out Boy, 30 Seconds to Mars, Lostprophets and Within Temptation. In other words, my good rock albums. My mom knocked curtly on my door once to signal that she had brought up some food at about 1 o' clock. At some point of the day, I heard my parents return from work.
What's the most fun a girl can have without her phone, iPod, boyfriend, or any friend when she's in her room? Tidy up of course! Oh, such fun...
By 10 o' clock I was so bored and depressed that I just went to sleep. Tossing and turning, my mind had nothing to distract it from the vicious thoughts that coursed through it: imagining what Brendon was doing at that moment, wondering if he would ever speak to me again, wondering if he even got my voice mail or he just doesn't want to reply. But of course, even if he did phone, I wouldn't know, and I doubt that my mom would tell me.
I carried on thinking, my brain working on overdrive, until I eventually got to sleep. I slept restlessly, a complete contrast to my usual deep sleeps. Normally, I slept like a log; nothing could wake me up.
Something was shaking my arm. Or someone, I suppose. They were shaking my arm quite violently, so I reluctantly opened my eyes, despite the fact that my dreams were terrifying me. Through my bleary eyes, I made out the form of my mother. Great, what now?
"Vicky, wake up," she said softly to me.
"Urgh...," I moaned. "What's going on?"
"Vicky..." she said, before thrusting my phone in my face, not uttering another word.
I took it, puzzled, and said questioningly, "Hello?"
"Oh my god, Vicky, I'm so sorry to call you," Ryan said frantically, speaking far too quickly.
"Wow, Ryan, slow down. I just woke up. Is something wrong?" I rubbed my eye as I awaited his response.
"No, no, it isn't. It's Brendon. He... he got back from the UK and he..."
"Ryan, what is it?" His shaky voice was starting to scare me, and as soon as he mentioned Brendon, I was much more alert.
"He was in a car accident... seriously injured his head and chest... going to hospital..."
"Oh... my god..." I whispered, not even trying to resist from crying. "Is... is he gonna be ok?" Fear was prominent in the way I choked out those words.
"We don't know... The paramedics are taking him there now. I just wanted to let you know," Ryan said.
"Thankyou..." I looked over at my mom, and from earlier that day, her expression was so different: scared and genuinely sympathetic. I wanted to be there, in Vegas, and somehow, I knew my mom was giving me that permission from the way she looked at me. "I want to come and see him... I need to be there." After saying these, I stared intently at my mother and she nodded approvingly. Despite the fact that the worst possible scenario occurred, I still felt positive... because I had my mom with me.
"Really? I was hoping you'd say that... we're going crazy here..."
"So am I..." I cried quietly. "I'm gonna get the first plane out possible and... I'll meet you there."
"Let me know when it's supposed to arrive, 'cause one of us will come and pick you up from the airport. I would offer our plane but Brendon used it."
"Don't worry about that. Thankyou. I will. I need to go now, so... I'll see you soon," I said hurriedly.
"Yeah, phone me when you know the times of the flight. Bye," Ryan concluded, and hung up.
I sat on my bed for a few moments to let the news fully sink in. Brendon had been in a car crash, because of me. What if he died?!...
Omg, guys, omg.
I say this way too much, but I'm SOOO sorry for the non-updating. I feel horrible for it. I love you all who have waited for this and who will review; I give you full permission to hit me and hunt me down, lol. I give you all chocolates, cherry bakewell tarts (I love them :P), cakes, ice creams, crisps (or chips), all of that sort of goodness. I'm bribing you to forgive me :D Is it working? Also, longest chapter!!!!
Just for the freaky fans out there, there were many references to The OC in this chapter, hehe, and one to the film Matilda :D
Oh, and just if you didn't know because I didn't really make it clear, here's a list of songs which the titles have come from in this story:
Chapter 1 - Maroon 5 - She Will Be Loved
Chapter 2 - Fall Out Boy - Sophomore Slump or Comeback of the Year
Chapter 3 - Within Temptation - What Have You Done
Chapter 4 - Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend
Chapter 5 - Madina Lake - House of Cards
Chapter 6 - Seether (ft. Amy Lee) - Broken
To those of you who got those, and who like the songs/bands I mentions, you have good music taste :D

In the old days of the 64-team NCAA Tournament, I once derided the NIT as a competition to determine the 65th-best basketball team.
That was unfair. Because of the number of automatic-qualifying conferences, the NCAA field thins out considerably after the top 50 or so teams. So I would say now that winning the NIT is comparable to winning an NCAA game in the round of 64.

Obviously, that standard makes it difficult to quantify what BYU has done to this point, advancing to Tuesday's semifinals vs. Baylor at Madison Square Garden in New York City. But the Cougars deserve credit for their achievement — and so do Weber State's men's team and Utah's women's team, also playing into April.
Much like football bowl games, postseason basketball aside from the NCAA Tournament is about motivation as much as ability. That makes BYU's run of beating Washington, Mercer and Southern Mississippi impressive. Before even learning their NIT draw, the Cougars had to practice for a week after being eliminated in the quarterfinals of the West Coast Conference tournament.
They've kept extending their season, playing their best basketball. The way they're performing now almost becomes an indictment of their regular season in some ways, but it is also a tribute to their competitiveness.
Same with Weber State. The Wildcats have bounced back from the disappointment of another failure in the Big Sky Conference tournament with wins over Cal Poly, Air Force, Oral Roberts and Northern Iowa in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament, and now they'll host East Carolina for the championship Tuesday.
Utah already has won four games in the Women's NIT, just to reach the semifinals Wednesday at Kansas State. The Utes have beaten Long Beach State, San Diego, Pacific and Saint Mary's, with three victories coming on the road.
Anthony Levrets might be doing the best coaching job in Utah's entire athletic department in 2012-13. Maybe that judgment gives too much value to the WNIT, but it's clear that like the BYU and WSU men, the Utah women have decided that if they're going to play in this tournament, they might as well excel.

About Eucalyptus
Although Australia typically comes to mind for its wide variety of Eucalyptus trees they are also native to Africa and the southern United States. For essential oils the preferred variety is Eucalyptus radiata. DōTerra Eucalyptus is Eucalyptus Radiata grown in Australia with the oil being extracted from the leaves of the tree. Eucalyptus has long been know by herbal practioners for its insect repellant properties and associated maladies such as fevers and respiratory conditions. Beyond this the antibacterial and antiviral properties make it beneficial in not only treating symptoms but underlying causes as well. As with many oils it can blend with others and the resulting fragrance can add a sense of calming aand well-being which adds a bonus in any health issue.
Typical Applications
Difussing Eucalyptus will benefit respiratory problems and will also help disinfect a living area preventing the spread of bacterial or viral agents to others. For individual respiratory conditions or coughs inhaling the oil directly or breathing vapors from a cup of warm water with a few drops added is usually beneficial. Also an prepared ointment or dilution with a carrier can be applied topically to the chest or throat area. .Apply Eucalyptus to the chest easing congestion and alleviating persistent cough.
Precautions: Use with care during pregnacy.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Federal regulators on Wednesday granted the Charlotte Area Transit System a waiver so the agency could provide "limited charter service" during the Democratic National Convention next week.
The Federal Transit Administration's decision comes two weeks after the American Bus Association asked federal regulators to deny a waiver that CATS needs to use its own buses to transport people with disabilities and other accessibility issues.
CATS needed a waiver because federal law prevents public-transit agencies from competing with private bus operators for charter business. City officials say waivers are only granted if private charter services can't handle the business.
Brian Farber, a spokesman for the FTA, said in an email that between 80 percent and 90 percent of the bus services at the convention still will be provided by private charter bus operators.
"However, this limited waiver, which is similar to those granted in 2008 to the Republican and Democratic conventions, will further ensure that all convention participants, especially participants with disabilities, have access to reliable and safe transportation options during the event," Farber wrote.
FTA officials said they are satisfied that CATS has notified all private-sector charter services of its intent to provide support during the convention and exhausted all registered private providers in the area. "From our perspective, we're here to assist in any capacity the private sector can't fulfill to make it a successful convention," said Olaf Kinard, director of marketing and communications for CATS. "Evidently there was still a need and so the FTA gave us a waiver."
CATS' next step, Kinard said, is to line up the drivers and finalize any other details before the start of the DNC.
The Democratic National Convention Committee estimates that private-sector charter bus services will provide approximately 82 percent of the bus services next week from Monday through Wednesday, , and 89 percent of bus services next Thursday.
CATS is seeking to provide 15 buses and drivers, and up to 45 buses leased through a private charter. CATS would charge $92 per hour for any charter service it provides, a fee that includes operating and administrative costs, Kinard has said.
Bus association spokesman Dan Ronan said the association respects the FTA ruling.
"We made our point known, we explained our position very professionally and very succinctly," Ronan said.
Ronan also said most private motorcoach companies would charge a minimum of about $120 per hour, and that $92 per hour rate CATS offered is "well below the market rate for motorcoach operators for that part of the country."

Gervais retired bad boss David Brent after just two seasons of the hugely popular British program, before taking the show to the U.S., where it has become a massive hit with Steve Carell playing paper-company executive Michael Scott.
Gervais has always rejected reports that he'll resurrect Brent for the U.S. version, but he hinted at a change of mind during a press tour to promote his new HBO stand-up comedy special this week.
And Entertainment Weekly columnist Michael Ausiello claims the star is plotting an appearance in the forthcoming sixth season.
Ausiello writes, "I heard an unconfirmed rumor earlier today that Ricky Gervais was seriously considering reprising his role as original Office manager David Brent on the U.S. version later this season. I think there's a very strong chance that Michael Scott is going to come face-to-face with his British doppelganger, the only question now is when."

The latest scheme at Ralph Lauren along Bond st. really is quite stunning. Unfortunately we had to use a flash to eliminate the reflection from the stores across the street so our images really don't do this scheme justice. The quality of the finish here is always superb and we've been keeping a distant eye on this brand over the months although we don't always include them here. The atmosphere and sophistication of this scheme even in its apparent simplicity really is worth experiencing if you happen to be walking along here during the evening.

The Oldest Legible Gravestone
I Have Some Grave News
Ephraim Huit Grave
Palisado Cemetery, Windsor
I had trouble coming up with the title description for this page. I guess it's not the oldest gravestone in the state. But it is reputed to be the oldest original monument still standing in Connecticut. And one of the oldest legible monuments of any kind in the country. At any rate, it's old – and remarkably well preserved. In fact, it looks far newer than a million other gravestones I've seen in my day.
The Palisado Cemetery is a stop along the Connecticut Freedom Trail and the First Church next to it is said to be the oldest parish in the new world. My head spins at all this stuff. Here's my write up about the Church, which is more interesting than you may think. Then again, you're reading this, so maybe you DO find this stuff as cool as I do. (While we're at it, the reason this cemetery is part of the Freedom Trail is completely separate from the reason for this post. Seriously.)
The Rev. Ephraim Huit was settled in Windsor, in 1639, as the colleague of the Rev. Mr. Warham, and died in 1644. Cotton Mather mentions him among the ministers that left the mother country after having entered the sacred office. His will is recorded in the office of the Secretary of State, Connecticut, by which it appears that he left four daughters –Susanna, Mercy, Lydia, and Mary, to whom, with his widow, he left a handsome estate, real and personal. He had one son, who died before his father.
Huit was responsible for building a solid and safe (from marauding Indians) meetinghouse back in the mid 17th century. A quick reading of the inscription on any early New England gravestone, and you know exactly how the deceased was regarded by his family and friends. Mr. Huit's tabled tombstone, erected in 1644 in the Old Burying Ground of Windsor (Palisado Cemetery) reads:
Who when hee lived wee drew our vitall breath,
Who when hee dyed his dying was our death,
Who was ye stay of State, Ye Churches Staff,
Alas the times forbid an Epitaph
You can see better pictures of the grave here. I'd have taken better pictures if it was such a crappy day when I visited.

Great website – lots of help with family etc. thanks for all your workComment #1 on 02.18.10 at 11:45 am
This is fascinating, great work finding this one. If I ever make the drive down to Connecticut on a historical outing I'll be sure to stop at this cemetery. Being from the north shore area of Massachusetts, I find this historical time period very interesting. Especially given that many of these people knew eachother who were located quite a distance apart, especially for those days.Comment #2 on 06.16.10 at 9:42 am
my brother found a headstone on the website called findagrave.com and the year the lady had passed away was in 1625 but the birth was unknown. I think the cemetary was in boston,her name was grace berry and the information given was said she was around he age of 58 of her passing. hope this helps alittle bit.Comment #3 on 09.14.10 at 9:03 am
I think I have a picture of the gravestone of Ruth Noyes of Old Lyme. I remember it as 1636…I'll see if I can find the picture.Comment #4 on 10.18.10 at 10:28 am
All right! Knew his name from my family tree, but had no idea there was a standing headstone in Connecticut… this is awesome. Thank you!Comment #5 on 12.08.10 at 3:09 pm
I must rewrite my will to get one my ancestors to pull that pose over your grave in 350 years time.Comment #6 on 07.21.11 at 5:09 pm

This is my tomb…good bye…
Strangely enough I am Geoffrey Huit and live in Windsor, CT. Born in Ohio of Huits from Germany. Doubtfully related. My name was altered a tiny bit at some point to become HUIT in mid 1800s german ancestors changed it….odd because HUIT is 7 in French. Cool site. Another HUIT lives in Windsor!!!!!! I am 41.Comment #9 on 07.19.13 at 11:46 am
sorry Huit is 8 in French…lol my 11 and 9 year olds reminded me of that fact.Comment #10 on 07.20.13 at 10:18 pm
I have recently taken up geocaching and a lot of them are located in cemeteries. There are a lot of cemeteries in my area with dates in the 1700′s and 1800′s. I love to read the gravestones while I'm there but unfortunately many of the old ones are illegible. It's a shame so many are in disrepair. I love to read inscriptions that are on them but they are hard to read. My favorite verse so far is: "Behold and see as you pass by, as you are now so once was I, as I am now so you must be, prepare for death and follow me".Comment #11 on 08.09.13 at 12:03 pm
I am from Enfield, Ct., right up the street. We have a gravestone on Route 5 that has a gravestone dated 1606! Also, my friend lived in a house that was dated 1614. If you check all of the Towns along the Ct. River north of Hartford, you will find a lot dated earlier than this one in Windsor!Comment #12 on 09.01.13 at 4:11 pm
I believe I saw a tombstone in Jamestown, Virgina had the date of death in 1636.Comment #13 on 09.16.13 at 2:07 pm
Everything's a competition, huh? Unless you can prove these "other" stones to be fully legible, per this article's scope, your evidence is anecdotal and irrelevant. Author clearly states in title, "oldest legible" and recognized as such. How about some intelligent replies or is that too much to ask for these days on social sites ?Comment #14 on 01.02.14 at 12:15 pm
Thanks for sharing an interesting artifact. My attempts to "find the 'one' immigrant" for my son's social studies class has been quite the endeavor. So many people seem to be incredibly defensive about their "dead ancestors"… I guess if they feel they are more closely related to their paternal genetic ancestry than any of the other over 131,072 Parental roughly 17 generations of genetic ties …or more(from BOTH mother's and father's lineages extending backwards in time to reach approximately the year 1600.) Unless there was some considerable recycling of genetic material from intermarriages of cousins, there should be more than one primary ancestral "immigrant" for each individual, I think. The findagrave website could make things much easier if they would just provide a "Search for a grave by date earlier than X" feature…. Alas.Comment #15 on 01.28.14 at 8:24 am
It took two hundred years to settle our country. In Oklahoma, a marker dating before 1900 is considered "old."Comment #16 on 05.12.14 at 11:17 am
Has anyone found Jesus grave yet? Or any of his disciples?Comment #17 on 07.27.14 at 8:22 am
Thank you for the photos and article about my 8th great-grandfather.Comment #18 on 08.10.14 at 10:42 pm

SANTA CRUZ — For five years, Shauneen McElroy concocted organic herbal teas for customers at the Food Bin & Herb Room.
She turned popular blends like "In Light & Mint" into holiday gifts, tasty enough that she got requests. She came up with "Cosmic Chocolate," "Dark Outer Spice" and "Levitating Lemon," and for the past year has been a tea entrepreneur.
McElroy, 44, named her company Far Out Flying Saucer Teas, inspired by a piece of clip art she thought expressed her vision: "So delicious, it makes you feel like you're flying a spaceship."
She started with online sales, selling a box of 18 individually wrapped tea bags for $4.99. Now she's pushing for shelf space in stores across California.
"We've done many orders and re-orders. That is unusual for something brand new," said Dario Dickinson, general manager of the Food Bin & Herb Room and longtime partner with McElroy in a local band. "Real connoisseurs of organic tea are recognizing it's the highest quality."
The reaction is similar at Aptos Natural Foods, which has carried the tea for eight weeks.
"We have customers that are crazy for this tea," said Jamie Kahn, who works at Aptos Natural Foods. "People come in especially for it. The most popular flavor is 'Dark Outer Spice,' which has a wonderful aroma like a chai."
The American wholesale tea market grew from $1.84 billion in 1990 to $7.77 billion last year, according to estimates from Joseph Simrany, president of the Tea Association of the U.S.A.
In his state of the industry report in February, he said tea is rebounding from the recession with imports rising 10 percent last year.
He pointed out supermarkets are devoting more space to tea and the number of offerings has increased dramatically.
Search for tea on the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade website, and the names of four dozen manufacturers pop up.
At the Food Bin, tea occupies a floor to ceiling space. Far Out Flying Saucer Tea sits at eye level, between Twinings and Chaidon Organic, surrounded by 10 other competitors in colorful and attractive boxes, including the Good Earth brand, which started in Santa Cruz in the 1970s.
"The challenge is to get people to try something new," said Dickinson. "The package is a huge part of marketing."
Richard Snow, shopping at Food Bin, said he wasn't familiar with the new Santa Cruz tea company. He considered it "a little pricey," but found the package "intriguing."
McElroy, who worked at the Food Bin & Herb Room for 15 years, had experience buying and stocking hundreds of Western, Chinese and Ayurvedic herbs and green, black and white teas.
Initially she thought the way to sell the tea was by selling the experience.
"What I wanted to do was open a tea shop," she said.
She approached SCORE, the nonprofit that offers free counseling to startups. Once she realized the high investment costs, she opted to focus on wholesaling.
"Shauneen is a real problem-solver," said Karen Grellas, a veteran entrepreneur assigned to McElroy as a mentor. "I believe she will be very successful."
Far Out Flying Saucer Tea, which is certified organic, is packed in Santa Cruz at Monterey Bay Spice Herb Company, a certified organic processor.
"I feel very lucky," McElroy said, noting such processors are few and far between. "There's one in Michigan and one in Washington."
She kept her startup costs low, financing the venture herself, spending five figures.
By the time the company is profitable, her investment will be six figures, she estimates.
Currently it's a one-woman operation.
"I'm pretty much doing everything," said McElroy, who has persuaded Roberts Grocery in Woodside, Diablo Foods in Lafayette and Jimbo's Naturally in San Diego to carry Far Out Flying Saucer Teas.
She hopes other store owners will follow in their footsteps.

FOUNDED: In 2010 by Shauneen McElroy.
WHERE: Available online and at the Food Bin & Herb Room in Santa Cruz and at Aptos Natural Foods in Aptos.
