What the..!?

So why, 'The Face at the Window'..?


I suppose it's best summed up by the fact that I've spent much of my life - well ALL of it really - feeling like I'm on the outside of everything looking in. I don't really consider myself a 'loner' because I have lots of people in my life with whom I spend a lot of time, be they friends, 'mates', colleagues or family. My sense of isolation comes more from how my understanding of certain things is often at variance with other, more mainstream viewpoints. Added to that, I often don't 'get' something or feel left out of what other people just take for granted. Like I said, I don't consider myself a loner in what might be thought of as the usual meaning of the word, but I do consider I am often 'apart' from things. I should also add that I've spent a good deal of time trying to overcome this obstacle: I gain no satisfaction from having this 'outside' view and try my best to fit in and not appear in anyway unusual.


Anyway, having been landed with this perceived viewpoint (and I admit it is probably purely my perception of life rather than any actual difference to anyone else - call it a 'software' rather than a 'hardware' problem) I thought I might as well use it to share some of my thoughts on life and how I personally see it and experience it. I can't promise regular bulletins but I do hope they give an insight into being 'me'... I don't propose to excuse it or even explain myself - and anyway, I wouldn't know where to start - I just propose to tell it.
