Ahh where to start, hmmm....I don't really know, which should lead to a very exciting read for you folks, or maybe not, hehe! I think I'll just start off by telling you a bit about me and keep it short but sweet! I'm 20 years old, 21 soon, yay, and I live with my folks. Which is good really, they tend to leave me alone, but I still get my washing and food cooked, so all is good. I'm going to train to be a teacher, which wasn't really the big plan at first, but still a worthwhile career, it's funny how things turn out like that, hmmm. I like the usual things, reading, writing, music, football etc etc, ok maybe not usual for everyone, but nothing out of the ordinary. I'm a big Man Utd fan probably won't mean anything to alot of people on here, but I'll be sure to educate you on the greatness of my team as time goes on .

I've read alot of blogs on here, some of them are really good, I feel they are kind of going to put mine to shame, which really should of discouraged me from starting one, but what the heck, I can only be myself and if that doesn't interest anyone, ahh well, just means I'm free to waffle on here about what I like, and I do like to waffle, hehe.

I'm currently having a debate about tattoos and body piercings, hmm, I can't say I'm really a huge fan, when I was going through my rebellion stage, I dyed my hair blue and had my tongue, eyebrow, and nose pierced, can't say they were the best decisions I ever made, but it was a learning curve I suppose. I think it's all down to personal opinion, and if that's something you like then good for you, but tattoos are just to forever for my liking, I mean I may like some design one day, but whos to say I'm going to like it 20 years down the line....and having peoples names??? Apart from branding yourself, that's just messed up!

Anyway I promised I'd keep this entry short but sweet, so I shall end it there, I 'd just like to thank the people that encouraged me to start this blog, and to a very special person, thank you for making me so happy today, you'll never know how much .

Hello sally dear girl, i'm glad you decided to join Maxwell Blogs. You should have mentioned that it was the great Sir Peter Maxwell who brought you to joeuser but i imagine you did not wish to use my name without permission so i will forgive you.

Yeah I think I'll like it too, though I'm really unsure of how the points and things work, but I don't think I should worry about that, reading other peoples blogs though such as Peters it seems to be important to people, why is that? Anyway thanks to you and Peter for reading and leaving comments, I think you'll be the only two reading, hehe!

Nope, I'll be lurking in the bushes. No, wait, that makes me sound like a stalker. Make that dropping by every now and then Hope you'll enjoy our company and have a great blogging experience I knew I should've focused on marketing rather than management, oh well.

You'll build up a reader base if you're consistent with your personality. Bloggers like to know that they're hearing from the same person, if you know what I mean. And 10 comments is pretty phenomenal for your first blog:)

Does it not count that I contributed to half of them ,hehe. I should be consistant with my personality, but hmm people might not take to that!

Sally, I have one of the least conformative personalities here (I have many unpopular opinions), but I think you'll find that if you're not dogmatic about it and you're willing to back up what you say, people will accept you for who you are, and even admire you for your forthrightness.

I'm definately very opinionated. Though I'm willing to take on other peoples points of view and consider them, but If people don't like that I guess it's up to them, as I said I can only be me .

Exactly. You've got the idea, now just run with it.
