Greetings!After seeing many other blogs of this nature, I decided to gain one myself.
How many people will find the musings of a soon to be 17 year old particularly fascinating?
I'll soon find out.
My mind is an ever spinning wheel constantly gathering new information that i ponder over right before I retire to sleep.
I'm a poet and an artist. "you cut me, I bleed ink"- Howard Moon.
I tried reading a teenage magazine once. It gave me a panic attack. It's a high-fashion skinny nightmare.
The power of the written word is an amazing tool. The speeches of world leaders, movie quotes and lyrics from songs are the most powerful weapons in this world. Reading a book means escaping to distant lands that only I can reach within the sanctuary of my mind, and I travel there on the words of the author.
A photograph is a gateway to another time, a look at a different person and a reminder of a memory.
Acting is the chance to be step into some one else's shoes a tell a story begging to be told. Where else can I get the excuse to dress up and use funny accents?
Music is the language of the world. We all walk to a beat and have a song in our heads. You know you cant help but sing along to the chorus of Hey Jude and feel those inexplicable goosbumps.
Laughing is the best therapy. Being able to make people is the best feeling in the world. A laugh isn't complete until you at least snort or cant breath :D
Art is confusing, weird and wonderful. Where else can you paint a can of soup and call it art?
Life's full of mysteries. Like, why is it that I cant seem to be able to buy new underpants and still call them mine after the first wash? Somehow, at least one of my sisters lays claim to them.
This is life through a 17 year olds eyes. I'm sure everyone remembers a time like this. A time where everyone tells you constantly how much you've grown, have you got a boyfriend? and what are you going to do with your life?
Yeah, I've got a question. Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe? - Bender, The Breakfast Club.
I'm off chaps!

LOVE YOU...
:D thankyou mum!
Well! It's a great first blog post. Very ambitious, to take on Life and Everything Else Too as the subject of your first Musing. But I really loved it. Know why? Because you aren't afraid to reveal yourself, and that's the greatest attribute that an artist, writer, actor, photographer, musician, dancer, chef or landscape gardener can have. In fact, you can't be any of those things without being prepared to reveal yourself.
I was thinking about what you said about the magic of language, of literature and the written word in all its forms. About how you can use it to travel to distant lands. It's also a time machine, isn't it? You can sit in your chair and have Herman Melville or William Shakespeare or Jane Austen talk directly into your mind. 100 or 200 or 400 years can separate you, and yet it's still a conversation conducted one-to-one. That's why I love it. I'm very glad that you do too.
Well, Evie!! You are certainly off to a great start. I am like Paul - I love the fact that you are so open. Apart from anything else, this is a great opportunity for all your old relos like me to get to know you better - Thank you! Please don't change anything.

You have a way of expressing your self that is unique and it is you to a tee.Keep up the good work, can't wait for your next episode. it does your old Far's heart good to read what your up to and how you think. Love you my Brooke. Far

I cant believe that those sisters of yours are still nicking your nickers. Get some Bombay Bloomers, that will fix them!! On a serious note, you used to think of yourself as weird & different, you are now finding out that you not weird, but definately different. Different, in that you have a wonderful ability to be able to transport yourself to wherever you want to be, and to be able to relate that into words & actions, that talent is rare. Stay with that difference and dont compromise on your dreams .
Love yu Brookie...Grams
Dearest Boffin Lodge Extraordinaire,
Brooke ever since I met you back in Term One I was blown out of the H2O by your individuality-ness and your interesting way of going about your life. Brookus, indeed you are a very complex and deep person and this is what I love about you so much. You are so out-there and creative but you make me luagh 'till I feel like i might wet myself. Which would be a bit scary though, hey? You are one of the funniest ppl in drama and is that an airconditioner? Ha ha love you Brooke keep being you my Boffin friend from the land of crazy Boffinness I had better go before we all die. :))))) Triple chinnesss.
you lie to much
