A Follow-Up

Having realised that by some small set of quantum likelihoods somebody might be reading this, I figured I ought to at least introduce myself.
Fact Fact Fact. Bam Bam Bam. Paxman stylee.

That's the first thing, I guess. I am obsessed with University Challenge. My household gets incredibly competitive at 8pm on a Monday night; Mum takes the Africa questions, Dad takes the politics, my sister takes the biology, and I, of course, take the literature and Classics.

Second thing, that almost eclipses that epic first: I am currently in the process of applying for English and Classics at university. I study Latin at A-level et amo. Take a look at that beast Cicero to the right. I also love English, but solely out of school, since my Lit&Lang course seems to be actually aimed at piglets. Shudder.

I guess that the next most important thing in my life would have to be... music. Predictable, of course, but what else is a teenager supposed to rely on? As a general rule, I go for:
  • folk
  • indie
  • musicals
  • anything with character
And, as follows, I have a number of distinctive obsessions in my life... I'm trying to decide whether it's worth offering a list here, or simply starting on their inevitable individual posts now... I'll leave you in suspense methinks.

Oh, and some general facts which might explain the ramblings that will soon be published here...

This is a little bit of my face.
And some fizzy wine, I love fizzy wine.

Girl. 17 (so nearly 18 that it hurts). Grammar school.
Latin, English, Geography, ShiticalCritical Thinking.
Sings, plays guitar, reads a lot... Fairly average thank you.

Goodness... There's not a whole lot to say about me. I hope there I can add to that in the next 70 years or so, else that's going to be a verrry boring funeral.

On that cheery notes, tara for now.

So. Hello...

Good evening...

Well. Technically this isn't an opening to the blog, since it has been sitting here in its virgin 'zero-post' state for a good few months. Every time I decided to write the welcome post, I panicked and cancelled last minute, because I am so so so aware that whatever I write will sound utterly pathetic.

But the day has finally come when I've gathered the courage to begin.

Hope you enjoy...

Lovely xx
