Before I Forget

That's my future, right there in that picture. I've planned it all out. I know people say not to plan your life so I've left it reasonably flexible. I want to go to college for two years (free education - I don't want to miss it) and then me and my best friend Tamara are going to go travelling. Tamara doesn't want to go to college so she'll probably go straight into work and I'll have to find a part-time job somewhere. Maybe in Marks and Spencers, who knows.

We've thought of the price of eating, the price of clothes, toothpaste, petrol etc. If we run out of money then we'll work at campsites (some places allow you to stay for free if you work a certain amount of hours). We'll travel around England together like the three musketeers... minus one musketeer, the horses... the swords...

Despite me hating England, I know that there are a few areas that are really beautiful which is probably the only reason that I'm still calling it "Great" Britain. Although once we conquer England we can travel to France, to Spain and all over the world. Picking up heaps of life experiences as we go. I want to return home at the end of it all and have at least a few good stories to tell.

We're both quite tolerable so I think we'll do well in each others company. And we've prepared a plan for if we do get sick of each other too, which is to go our seperate ways for a day and then meet back up again.

I'm looking forward to it although I'll miss my friends. And Rob. I'll miss him a lot. He wants to go travelling himself although I'm sure we'll keep in contact.

I was actually thinking of writing an introduction completely different from everyone else but when it came down to it, I couldn't think of anything original enough.

So here begins my introduction.

My name is Maya. But it might not be. It could be Holly or Emma. It could even be Katie. But for this blog my name will be Maya. I'm 15 years old. I live in England but I hate it. I have actually in the past warned people about living here. It's a nasty place and I'm getting out of it as soon as I can.

Here are a few random facts about me:

● My hair constantly changes colour and I get people asking me all the time, "have you dyed your hair again?"

● I want to travel. I know everyone says that but I'm serious.

● I've been told by one person that I speak like a snob over the internet which I know isn't a very nice thing to say to someone. My defence there is that I do alot of story-writing and typing like a snob seems to get me good grades in English.

● I definitely don't speak like a snob. I'm capable of saying "innit" alot which I know is an awful habit...

● I like psychology. People are so damn interesting.

● I like drawing smiley faces because it makes me feel happy.

● I have a boyfriend and believe me, that's the first time I've ever written that down. It's a whole new thing for me.

● I hardly ever swear. When I do I feel bad and usually apologize to whoever I'm with...

● I'm Wiccan. Look it up.

● I have a happy life and I know it. Since I started thinking like that I've barely felt depressed at all. Proof that positive thinking really does work.

So there we have it. I'm sure there are far more interesting things that I could have mentioned there but they're the first things that popped into my head. I'm going to cram this blog full of articles, pictures, stories, poems, lyrics and random chat from me. It's really just an excuse to show the world what I like and get my opinion across.

It'll hopefully make quite an interesting read.
