Well, hello, I guess =]
So, I’m new to the whole blogging thing. I’ve read a couple, and some interest me more than others. The ones I seem to like most are random, day to day posts about life, so I’ve decided that’s exactly what I’m going to do. It might be boring, but life is boring. Anyway, I’ll try to make it as interesting as possible.
I should write a little bit about me first. Yeah, I don’t want to say my full name or post pictures or anything like that, as you probably figured from my blog name. That’s the whole attraction for me, the way I can actually be honest and write whatever I want. That’s something I’m not often, in real life – honest.
Anyway, here’s a little about me. I’ll try to heep it short, but I do ramble on. (hence the blog name)
- My name is Rachel. I’m not bothered by letting people know that. It’s a fairly common name, after all. Nobody’s going to find out who I am from that. I could probably even post my last name, but I’m not going to. I don’t want anybody I know in real life to know this is me. Well, a few people might knwo it’s me anyway, just from what I say. You never know, my mum might even be reading this. Hi Mum! *waves*`
- I’m only thirteen years old. I’ve been described as thirteen going on thirty, which isn’t exactly a compliment, I know. But I’m definitely not immature, which I suppose is a plus.
- I have no idea whether on not anybody is reading this, but to be honest, I’m not that bothered. I’m more writing this for myself than anyone else.
- I live in England. Location doesn’t interest me, but I know some people like to know these things. Oh, and now you know I’m British you won’t correct me on my spellings of sceptical and realise, like American people seem to do online. I find that extremely annoying. Something I think I do have is good spelling and grammar for a thirteen year old. Most people at my school seem to think you put an apostrophe before the s words liek beds, and spell quiet ‘quite’.
- I really, really like to write. More than most things. I’m not ashamed to admit that I write fan fiction, because I do think it makes your writing better. Any writing can improve your style, whether it’s fan fiction or original work. Which I also write, by the way. I have to say though, I write fan fiction more often. I like to play in other people’s worlds, rather than make up my own. I guess that makes me lazy, but I don’t care. I enjoy it, so screw what other writers say.
- I also love to read. I’m also not ashamed to say I like books that other people deem stupid, like teen diaries where the protagonist feels awfully misunderstood (Confessions of Georgia Nicholson, for example) My favourite series though, is Harry Potter and that’s the main fan fiction I write. I also like Twilight, and I am slightly ashamed to admit I’ve become an awfully annoying fangirl, of Edward especially. I read all the reviews on Amazon (wel, not all. Have you seen how many there are on the US site?) of the first book and decided not to read it, mainly because I thought all the people raving about Edward, etc, were pathetic. But then I read it, and now I’m one of them, and I promised myself I never would be. Yeah, I’ma ‘rabid fangirl’. So bite me. (See what I did there?)
- Throughout this post so far, I’ve refrained from using a single smiley, which I’m rather surprised about. Oh, except for that one at the top. But that doesn’t count. Usually I do at least one per paragraph, but I’m trying to cut down. I also haven’t said ‘lol’ at all, which I’m also trying to stop using. I will, however, say haha a lot. Thats’s just one habit that can’t be broken, I’m afraid, however unintelligent people think it is.
- Music is another thing that’s big in my life, so therefore my iPod (touch) is something in my pocket constantly. what am I listening to now? This Is Me, Camp Rock. And I’m not ashamed of it. And unlike most people, the reason I can’t wait to get a car isn’t so I can drive myself around and make out in it or whatever, but so I can listen to my own music, really loud. My mum listens to stuff I really don’t enjoy, but at least she puts it on low. For that, I’m thankful. Seriously, with her it’s all Abba and Shania Twain…hmm, no thank you. I won’t go in to my own taste in music, because I’d be here for days. I will say though that I have a really diverse taste in music. I have both The White Stripes and Miley Cyrus on my iPod, for example.
- I’ve come across so far as being a serious person, but some of my blog posts are probably going to be very stupid indeed. Some will proabably written when i’m under the influence. And no, that doesn’t mean drink/drugs, it means sugar.
- Friends and family mean a lot to me, even though I usually prefer being on my own. I’m not the partying sort of girl, but it’s not like I don’t know how to have a good time.
- People tend to say I’m a funny person, but I don’t try hard to make people laugh. I don’t know many decent jokes except for one, which I might post some day. I’m awfully sarcastic a lot of the time, which is something I know some people don’t like – ‘sarcasm is the worst form of humour’, etc. I don’t agree. To me, Chandler is the funniest person on Friends, and Seth is the funniest person on the OC. And are they sarcastic? Hell, yeah.
- I’m addicted to those online surveys, on places like Bzoink. I’ll probably post a bunch of them. But when you fill them in for places like Myspace, people are never really honest, are they? So that’s why I’ve turned to blogging. I can be honest.
- I really like to put things in italics and bold, etc when I’m writing on the internet. I don’t know why, I just feel it can liven a long comment up a lot. And colour, too. I use lots of colour.
Hmm, I think that’s it for now. If there is actually anyone reading this, sorry if I bored you. Well, no, I’m not sorry, but you get my drift.
Oh god. I just knocked over this big bowl thing of gems we have sat next to our computer, for the second time this week. Why do we even have that? It’s surprising how far 100 odd gems can spread across the floor. They just took about five minutes to pick up. Right, back to the blog.
Now I’m done with the introductions crap, I can start posting real stuff. I might not post every day, but I think I’ll try. This is kinda like a diary, and you’re supposed to write in a diary every day, right?
I’m off swimming. Bye for now =] ♥ (gosh, that’s a deformed heart)
