Numero uno

Hi fans!

So this is my first PROPER blog entry. I'm excited!

The last one was an experiment, because I was
chuffing around with the html. I mention this because
I feel it's a pretty strong indication of my high
intelligence. (Actually it took me about 3 hours to
change some numbers to push the margins over and
make room for my rather special looking map
background (Which I made myself!), but it makes
me feel pretty fricking superior.)

Anyway, this whole blog is some kind of experiment
really, because I actually hate blogs and all they stand
for, i.e. spreading your self-centered, egotistical
bullshit for all to see and no one to actually read.

Plus the fact I have to hand-write everything first
because I can't think and type at the same time.

So I imagine this is going to become a bit of a chore,
and I might give in after a day or so.

But it doesn't matter really, seeing as just because
something hasn't appeared on the internet, doesn't,
contrary to popular belief, mean it hasn't actually
happened.

I bet my punctuation is a bit of an effort to read.
I like commas. But I bet you anything they're
all right; I have an English degree don't you know!
(The egotistical bullshit starts here)

(I don't have a spell checker though. So there's
bound to be mistakes. (I don't even mean in the
typo-sense either; I actually can't spell anymore.
(I once got 99/100 in a spelling bee at junior school,
but it's honestly been downhill from there.)))

(I quite like brackets too.)

Are you losing concentration? I sure am.

Anyway (I like starting paragraphs with 'anyway', too),
just to set one thing clear, this isn't going to be a
retort in any way. (My name appears in TWO blogs
(as far as I know); in one I am loved: the other, hated.
It's like Heat magazine for scummers.)

I'm a grown-up now, and there is a time and place for
sharing such things. The internet isn't one of them.

Actions speak louder than words.

I win.

Instead, this blog is a 'to mum and dad' type jobby,
for when I'm off galavanting across America.

Starting Friday 13th February, 2009!

Coming?
