My first entry

Edit to point out: when I originally posted this, it was not 3:14am my time!! It was 11:14pm New Zealand Daylight Savings Time on Tuesday October 11, 2010. I think. It's been a while since I posted it, but yes, I think that time is correct. Carry on!


Well, I finally got a blog. I'd been meaning to for so long, but I could never think of a title or address suitable, but tonight I just picked one.


My intention with this blog is to simply post my thoughts or ramblings on whatever topic I'm thinking of at a given moment in time. I'm aiming to include recipes, events from my day, and photos.


I was just looking at the fonts available, but none seem particularly interesting or very "me", so I've chosen good ol' Times New Roman. A classic font.


If you've somehow found your way here from the great beyond (or just randomly from the internet), welcome, and thanks for reading, if you've actually continued right through this. I know it's not very interesting, but I don't consider myself that interesting. Others may beg to differ, but I think I'm boringly average. I guess you'll want to know about me now! Or not, of course...



About me:

• At the moment (which is at 10:59pm New Zealand Daylight Savings Time on Tuesday October 11, 2010), I am a 19-year-old girl/woman. I'm in that awkward stage Britney Spears once sang about; not a girl, but not yet a woman.
• I go to university, and am nearly at the end of my second year. Honestly, I don't think university is the place for me, but there is nothing else I'd rather be doing. I do, however, have plans for once I graduate; I'm hoping to get a post-graduate certificate in event management.
• I love organising things. I enjoy organising parties, lunches, drinks, even just dinner every night for my parents and myself. This is why I'm hoping to get into event planning in future, and this is where the certificate would be useful.
• I am unemployed at the moment. Well, I'm a "full-time student", but once my only exam is over in November I'll have to start throwing my CV out there.
• I live with my parents. Hey, it's free, I get free food, plus they're at work all day! I do love them, but yes, they drive me insane a lot of the time. Unfortunately, if I were to get a job (somehow, haha), and if I did move out, I would need to find a decent place which allows cats. It would also need to be in a quiet street in a relatively decent neighbourhood (I worry about my cats, okay? It's not a crime). It would also need to be cheap-ish, especially if I were to try afford it on a part-time wage. Here's the catch: it would need to be mould-free and warm, as I have problems with my lungs. So at the moment I live with the parentals and my two kitties, for free, and I cook and clean.
• I enjoy cooking and cleaning. This is a topic of one of my many rants, so I'll save that for later.
• I have two kitties whom I adore. More on them later, including pictures!

I can't think of anything else I was going to add, so I'll leave it at that for the time being. Anyway, you'll probably learn more about me as I post more.
So once again, thanks for reading... (I thought these ellipses might make it a bit more mysterious and interesting.)
