Complete Makeover

So I had a fleeting idea - new year, a new start and a fresh blog. I thought of wiping the slate clean and setting up a whole new account.... because frankly, my enthusiasm died quicker than a 10 year old's crush on her cousin. No, not me, of course not me - I have principles and boundaries...those sorts of things.

So I'm going to accept that I wasn't as committed last year. But the pattern will change.

What's been going on? So I've been watching a lot of videos on youtube, the usual suspects pop up: charlieissocoollike, t4 interviews and clips entitled "how to sort out your wardrobe." I want to say I've been watching this as research. What do people blog or video blog about?

Fashion, jokes, self help and motivational talks, and oral hygiene. I'm not sure if I fit into any of these categories as writer. I read an article today about how we shouldn't label ourselves as gay or straight or bisexual because it is simply about attraction and being on a relative spectrum. I found this interesting.

There was also an article about the model elite and the model fanatic culture that's rising in the UK. More and more actresses are being traded for models to - well, model! How insightful! However dull this may sound a good writer - and the writer was good - makes the piece interesting. LESSON: I need to find my voice. Don't mock -this is a real issue.

Ok, it's now 10.30pm and I need to catch up on sleep.
