My Blog!

My dad has been telling me for some time now that I, as a trainee journalist (hate that title, by the way) should really have a blog. Thing is, I'm ridiculously busy all of the time because I tend to try and do too many things at once. Therefore I end up spending all of my time running around and never have a spare minute to do anything else. However, decided that enough is enough and I will create a blog whether I like it or not. There, Dad, Happy? 


In all seriousness though, I think writing is a really important and relatively self-indulgent thing to do, and as I don't spend enough time on myself, maybe blogging is a roundabout way of doing it. So - a bit about me. I like this bit, talking about myself. I'm a third year journalism student/receptionist at a sports and arts centre/editor for Nerve* Magazine (www.nervemedia.net - download the latest version NOW)/ editor/film crew for Nerve* TV/sales assistant for Student's Union (occassionally, might I add) and I think that's all.


As you can probably tell, I don't have time for a boyfriend and all the complications that come with that, although I do spend a fair amount of time obsessing about why a particular guy doesn't want to be with me, which is ridiculous really because I don't particularly want to be with him... or maybe I do... or not. Anyway. I'm obsessing. Again. I love to write, take photos of my friends, design magazine pages, and am trying to teach myself graphic deisgn which isn't going very well so far. I enjoy going out, but only with people who don't bore me (that happens easily) and am most happy at alternative music places like Consortium, 176 and Sound Circus. 


Hmmm... what else... I would say my philosophies in life are pretty general and I try to follow them most of the time: friends and family come first, don't have regrets, don't hold grudges, take life one day at a time, be open-minded but also hold fast to your morals, and don't judge. There. That was fun.
