Hello

Hello,

I am currently reading Caitlin Moran's 'How to be a woman' it is confusing and amazing me and obviously inspiring me to write about my own life and experiences. I have written before mind you, I have three logs now including this one. First there is the blog where I rant about things like politics and sexism and society and politics. Then there is the one where I make stuff and take photos of it.
This is the honest one where I just talk.
This is the one about me.

I suppose having two younger sisters who are twins has taught me that if you want to get heard then you have to actually talk, even if everyone else is shouting, at least your trying right? But I'm not trying to get heard, not really. I just want somewhere to talk, someone to talk to.

I have three younger siblings, which makes me the oldest. First there are the twins who I will call M&S, although that sounds like I'm talking about marks and spencer's. But then S&M doesn't sound much better, so lets just call them the girls. My eight year old brother is my other sibling, his name starts with a J so lets call him brother. Mum and Dad are next of course but there isn't much to say about them. They are both basically hippies who moved to a large village in England and started raising four children on vegetarian food cooked on a wood burning cooker (not an Aga) and washing all their clothes in the bath, while teaching us all to be feminists and then Dad becoming a sociology lecturer at a collage for a while. I am the only one with a real job now, and I'm proud of it. I have been home educated since I was eleven and my parents realised that my utter hatred of school wasn't going to go away, and neither was my stress eczema.

I on the other hand am a 16 year old something. honestly I don't really know who I am and that is what this blog is about, (as you would know if you had read the 'about me' page.) I have just come out of a six month depression and internet addiction (that I don't talk about) and realised that apart from the fact I am alive (and actually happy about it now I'm not depressed) I don't have a clue who I am.

So here is what I do know:
  1. I work at a farm shop and I love it there.
  2. I love chocolate.
  3. I am a feminist.
  4. I am vegetarian, for now.
  5. I like using :) smiley faces.
  6. I hate marmite.
  7. I want to be a nice person.
So that is the basics, here are the things I like to do. I have all these things to work with.
  1. writing
  2. reading
  3. playing the guitar (badly)
  4. drawing and painting
  5. general art
  6. talking to people
  7. cooking
  8. movies and making films
  9. music
  10. computers
So I have that, plus the fact that I will be going on a NLP practitioners course in a week and a half. I basically jumped at the chance to do something new and terrifying the minute I got out of my depression. I seem to have got out of my painfully shy phase too.
This is not something I would usually do, and yet here I am going off on an adventure.

So hopefully during the course of this blog writing I will find out who I am. Here is an explanation on NLP:

So yea, this is me for now.

I will write again soon.

bye.
