'The First Time...'

Have you ever been in bed on a Tuesday night just on the brink of drifting off into a deep, well needed sleep, when BAM. Brain awake, mental light bulb flashing like mad, body suddenly vertical.

‘I’m gonna write a blog…’. 

You probably haven't had this situation. And that's probably because you are sane people who get their 8 hours sleep, uninterrupted, no prob.

ME: "Okay that’s cool, good one brain, that’s a really great idea, but could we not discuss this tomorrow rather than 11pm?" 

BRAIN: "No." 

ME: "But like right now I'm kind of tired so I'm going to try and get some sleep, is that alright? 

BRAIN: "No, we do blog now. Right now." 

ME: "Look, first thing tomorrow…" 

BRAIN: "YOU AWAKE. YOU NO SLEEP. BLOG NOW." 

Appaz my brain is some sort of child with some kind of need for attention and, like the push over I am , it has come to this.

For the first time, in a really long time, I've decided to listen to my head and I’m writing a blog! Wait, let me rephrase that, I’m attempting to write a blog. I prefer the term attempting as there seems to be less pressure with that word.

I don’t even know if I’ll be any good at this writing lark. The last time I actually wrote something longer that was longer than a tweet ,was 2013. Ahhh that English Lit exam, such happy memories of me trying desperately to remember what on earth Wills was going on about when he wrote The Tempest. #ShakespeareShoutout

So I’m doing the blog thing and this is going to be a ‘Lifestyle Blog’ btw. Yes I had to Google what a ‘Lifestyle Blog’ actually meant (God help me) and it appears that I can write about all of the ramblings and thoughts that go on inside my head and file it under ‘Lifestyle’ without being tied to one topic. Winner winner!

So if I want to do a review, I can do a review, if I want to have a moan(…its called being a GROAN up for a reason) then I will, if I want to write a whole post dedicated to the bae that is Chuck Bass…then you’ll know about my gossip girl addiction. I'm a maverick who can't be tamed. And a maverick who is going to commit to this blog…
