So, why write a blog ????
I dont know !!!!!
Ok, start at the beginning, or maybe a few months before it................picture the scene, mother on holiday, heavily pregnant, seeking advice from a gypsy lady as to what she was going to have ? Two male sons already, laying on a couch with a silver coin dangling over her swollen stomach............its a girl !!!!! You are going to have a little baby girl !!!!!!!
Several weeks later, similar position , in a vast amount of pain, many centimetres dialated, out pops the new arrival, congratulations Mrs Maciver, you have a beautiful baby............BOY !!!!!!!!!!! OMG !!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I dont know if i really knew what was going on back then , but, im sure i was psychologically damaged hearing my mother crying in disbelief ! How could it be ? Gypsys are never wrong !!!!! It was meant to be a GIRL !!!! I had a name.......baby Alison, i was completing the perfect family, the little girl they had longed for for so long, i had lots of pink baby clothes, my nursery decorated suitably, only to become the biggest dissappointment in the history of the world !!!! A bigger let down than any England team to ever go to foreign lands trying to win back the World Cup even !!!!! Little Baby Maciver i was known as for a week !!!!! Then they settled for the name Alfie :)
I should have been Alison, their pride and joy!!!! Many people have commented since that fateful day, you should have been a girl Alfie !!!!! You are very close to your feminine side !! Your mannerism, your love of the colour PINK, i prefer to call it , faded in the sun RED !!!!! My own grandmother , god bless her, questioned my sexuality, why did i never take a girlfriend around to visit her ? Was i actually gay ?
This blog, i have the feeling, will be an airing ground , for all the random thoughts running around my head, i have many on a daily basis, and also, i shall let you all into a little insight over the coming posts , of who i am, my story, what sequence of events brought me to where i am today !! Its not the greatest story in the world, but, its mine.............
Its Sunday nite, its 11.15pm, i have to be up at 530am to go watch the Olympic Torch relay pass through my town with my nephew, i should be snoring for Scotland, yet im on here !!!!! lol
Feel free to comment, if anyone EVER reads this !!!!!!!!!!!!! hehe
