I swore off blog writing a year ago. I saved the content from my last blog, and then promptly deleted it. The subject matter was on sexuality, and I found it caused more problems than I had initially intended. I decided it just wasn't worth the arguments, snide comments, or dodgy emails that came with it. So, I did what I do with most important decisions; I left fate to my Magic 8 Ball. I asked "Should I delete my blog?", and Mr 8 said "Yes"; decision was made, and I walked away.
Recently, I have been asked to write other blogs. One, which was fascinating to myself, was exploring religion as an Atheist; going to different churches and organizations to find the real story behind peoples lives. As I gave away my Magic 8 Ball, I downloaded the iChoose app instead, and relied on it's answer. I asked "Should I start a new blog?", iChoose said "No". So, that decision was made, and I walked away from the idea.
Today, however, I was struck with the belief that writing a new blog to express myself and beliefs was a practical idea. After a weekend of discussion, wine induced conversations and flirtations, and down to earth chatting with people, I realised that I needed to start a new one. Facebook is fantastic for my "epic statuses", which apparently are thought provoking and ensue debate and conversation. But, it just wasn't the same as writing a massive long rant on a page that was my own. So, I asked iChoose whether I should begin a new one. The answer was "Yes". And, so, here I am.
That's probably the best first blog piece I can give, it answers why I am here and why I have started. So, dear reader, I leave this in your hands.
If you would like me to write about something, anything really, let me know. Or else you'll be stuck with the ramblings of a crazy psychology student who prefers everything pink or TARDIS blue, and lives on a diet of cheap red wine and pick'and'mix candy.
