my first post in my own blog . god almighty !
in case you haven't read my profile i better introduce myself . i am Linda 3 weeks shy of my 37th birthday living in Dublin Ireland . my passions are music ,reading , messing about on the net , supporting my beloved Manchester United , comedy , especially improv and generally having a laugh and trying not to be too serious (unless i have to be .)
i am in a relationship for the last 4 and a half years with my beloved boyfriend mike . he lives in the UK . i see him a few times a year and we keep in touch most nights by text . it isn't easy to be in a long distance relationship at times but i have an independent streak a mile wide so i don;t think having someone around me 24/7 would suit .
i used to work with my Dad selling home brew . first we had a shop . dad took it over in 1987 and i joined him when i finished school in 1993 . in 2002 we gave up the shop and worked form home . our business became a recession victim at the end of last year . dad was long over due retirement and i am currently without work . i am not looking for any at the moment as mom is ill with cancer ( more of that in a future post ) i hope to look for shop work when moms chemo finishes .
what made me want to blog is having been a comment maker on Deb and Barbara's brilliant middle ages blog for a while i thought well i have a few things on my mind i would like to talk about , and i don't want to flood the comment section of the middle ages so i will have a go at blogging and see what happens. also i have read some of the blogs on their blog guest of honour list and thought they were really cool . it inspired me to try this out and see what i can do . i am just learning how to work this blog so bear with me

the address of this blog best freak at blogger.com comes from the lyrics of a song by one of the best bands in the world marillion . it was released in about 1988 or thereabouts just after fish left . the song is called freaks which has the lyric all the best freaks are here !
my politics i would describe as being slightly more to the left then anything else . after watching various conservative governments mash Ireland into the ground i don't think any left wing government could do any worse ! thats if we had a popular party of the left here , sinn fein would probably be the closest we have but for personal reasons i won;t vote for them . labour might have counted but since they went into coalition with Fine Gael last year but we are seeing more and more they are not as left wing as you would think .
i am not a religious believer , an only child and thats about it really . i am what i call semi opinionated . i hold strongly to my opinions and will express them freely ( after all this is my blog !) but that doesn't mean my opinion on anything is the only right one to have on that subject !
here is a link to my Flickr page so you can have a rough idea of what i look like click here to see what i look like
one last thing i would warn you about . i do swear a good bit . i apologize in advance for any offense caused. the only person i swear at is me when i do something wrong . other then that i tend to swear a lot at inanimate objects and life in general !
when i start posting here properly . you are welcome to leave a comment whether you agree with me or not . please don;t post abuse particularly concerning my taste in football teams . you can;t come up with an insult i haven't heard before and i will just remove your comment . friendly football banter though is welcome . i know the difference !
