Oh, hello there =]

Over the past six months, it seems that everything happened at once. I’ve taken some GCSEs, acted in a play, got a social life, broken down multiple times, became gladiator in World of Nerdcraft, realized that I do give a shit about the future and my mum got cancer again. Wow. I like to think that all of these events are, in some screwed up way, connected. Or maybe that’s me just being unduly thoughtful.

So, a bit about myself, so you know what you’re getting yourself into. I’m British, fifteen years old, and I’m currently residing in London, though I lived in New Orleans for some five years. I like writing, music, video games and acting. I have an undying tendency to find myself in embarrassing situations.  Just three days ago, I found myself showing around a group of prospective parents at my school, and pointing out the delicious cakes that some year seven children baked and took photos of. A parent helpfully pointed out that the display was actually of ceramics. I proceeded to further dig myself into a hole by defensively saying something along the lines of ‘I know; I was merely stating that it would be nice to eat cakes in the pottery. I like cakes and pottery’. 

I was considering being a pretentious little shit by saying that this blog isn’t about you, but in actuality, it isabout you. It’s about you, most probably a random stranger on the internet, giving a shit about me. We, as humans, love knowing that people care about us; we love to know that there’s someone, somewhere thinking about us. Why else do we update our facebook statuses religiously; why else do we care about looking presentable in public?

Like it or not, your world and, in effect, the world is centered around you. No one is truly selfless; everyone helps one another for one of two reasons: to get something in return or to get that ‘oh-I’m-so-nice-and-great’ feeling afterwards.  Whether that something is love, potential help in the future or hot sex, it doesn’t matter. We’re all self-centered in some way… some of us are just better at disguising it than others.

Contemplations and random musings aside, the USA worries me. There are (probably) a huge amount of gun wielding KKK members scattered around America. Chances are that one of them is crazy/stupid/smart enough to hatch a plan to assassinate Obama. However, what worried me even more is this sadistic hockey mum (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4aHL12vtEM) getting within a twenty mile radius of the Whitehouse. Granted, it would be highly amusing for a short period of time, but politics aren’t supposed to be funny. Or maybe I’m just generalizing- George Bush was pretty LOL and he did a damn fine job as president (haha).

I’ve promised myself I’ll try to keep on posting here somewhat regularly; I’d hate to disappoint my three devoted fans who may or may not related to me and/or have four legs.
