Housekeeping

What is this blog going to be about? You probably want to know what you are getting into, right? The thing is that I am young and still finding out who I am so I have a lot of interests and a lot of things which I want to discuss but I will list a few of my top passions.

Firstly (which you will have gathered from my first blog entry) I love to read so this means that when the moment strikes me and when I have managed to tear my eyes away from a good book I will write about books that I have read, stories I’ve enjoyed, things that just shout to me from the very shelves that they sit on and numerous other things that a good bookworm must know.

I will also write (and this will have accompanying pictures –YAY!) about Fashion and my style. See I don’t want just a fashion blog because I feel like these are becoming a go-to thing for teenagers and I’d probably be more likely to drown, never to be found again, in the blogging world if I focussed solely on fashion but I still really love the idea of fashion and creating an individual style plus it’s a part of who I am so it must be included.

Then there is art. I am an art student. In fact I am head of art at my school. I am not the most talented artist or the most creative but it does grab deep inside my soul. I love the inspiration and brilliance that can be achieved through art and the peace that I get to feel when I have a pencil or paintbrush in my hand and when I have writers block this will be an excellent thing to put on my blog.

I am also going to write about South Africa because it is my home and I have this verging on unhealthy patriotism, not necessarily to the ever changing leaders but to the people, the culture and the land itself. Sometimes I don’t think I can truly express in words the beauty of this country but I’ll try because that is the least I can do.

I will write about the environment because I’ve been brought up to respect it and take care of it and I only wish to share that, to share ideas on how to help on the environment and to discuss its beauty because what are we without it.

Then there is food because we can’t live without it (and the procrastinating teen writing to you certainly can’t live without it).

I will also discuss social issues and current affairs when they are on my mind, in my face or topical because what happens in the world around us is important.

And (because I haven’t listed everything that exists in the whole wide world) I will discuss the interesting ins and outs of my life and my world.

I think I should come up with a catchy phrase to end each blog with. Anyone have any ideas?
