This blogging lark is easy isn't it?

Ok this is my attempt at writing something in a slightly more diary like way:

Is it strange that after signing up to last.fm I made a concerted effort for the first day to listen to as wide a variety of music as possible? It was almost as if subconsciously I feared that anybody who looked at my account while I was still very new would come away thinking “wow that guy he sure does love Lily Allen, perhaps too much” after noticing 100% of my tracks were so far by Lily Allen. There is no chance that they would have looked and said he has only listened to 4 songs so far I guess he must still be new. The next morning I listened to 25 tracks by the same artist and for a second had a mild wave of dread that it would seem I like them as much as I like all other music put together.

I don’t know what this peculiar aspect of my mind is when it comes to understanding how others look at me. I always assume people follow very peculiar lines of reasoning that make no sense in hindsight. I sometimes wonder whether or not other people suffer from a similar problem. I think a fair few people I know do but I wonder how aware of it they are.

In other news I feel like I am a vegetable. A horrible and dull vegetable. I exercise a fair bit so I have become pretty tough and skinny in a mildly triangular sort of way. The lack of sun is making me go a little bit whiter than I would like. I think I am still agreeable on the palate so maybe I am a parsnip. I guess it may be a case of you are what you eat, they should warn new vegetarians about this.

I think I just need to get out of this house prison. I want my passport and I want to move away. Of course the closer it comes the more I realise I will miss a lot of people. Some people a lot more than I thought I would. That was always going to be the case I guess but you can never be sure who it is you will miss can you? The emotional form of the uncertainty principle perhaps.

I wish I had worked more these last few months so that I could see so many people more before I go. I am working this week though which is nice. It will pay for my trip to Leeds and Edinburgh next week which is fortunate and is something that I am genuinely quite excited about. Look at me doing stuff. Like a person.

This is a pretty dull way of writing isn’t it? Hmm I will spice it up. Today to do something different I invented a time machine and went back in time and killed my grandfather I’m still waiting to see what comes of it. I also went back in time with a string faller and pretended I invented it myself I named it a yo-yo after my dog. Come to think about it since I came back to the future we have a different dog… and I’m uncircumcised?! Oh dear me this is not good not good at all. I will keep you updated on anything else I notice.

I did a blog mummy!

I will start this blog in the appropriate place, an introduction as to what I hope to succeed by having a blog at all. It is really me just being lazy as I don’t particularly have anything interesting to say right now, it will be a little bit like writing a poem about a poem or a story about a story except it will lack any creativity.

This blog exists because hopefully with any luck this point will turn out to be a relatively important crossroad in a relatively unimportant life. In the next couple of months I plan to up sticks and move to Korea for a year or so.

It is my hope that through the wonders of modern technology I shall be able to keep you all up to date (and mildly entertained) with tales from what by then may be a modestly interesting life. It will also be a place to collect and organise some of my thoughts in a more formal way. Hopefully by putting my opinions and interests in writing I may become a little bit more passionate about them.

I'm not going to tell many people about it to start with as I'm not very good at expressing myself in writing and hope to have things vetted until I get my style right. Also as it might be 2-3 months before I leave you might find yourself bored by the daily tribulations of an unemployed child faced 22 year old.

I will try my best to finish my blogs with a little snapshot of my brain that is hard to get across in words. I will give you a joke and a song and a word in Korean to help anyone who ever wants to visit me.
