My blog baby.

This sounds weird and slightly neurotic, but I've recently become quite protective over my blog. I still don't talk about my blog, just in passing to my closest friends, but no one else. I occasionally tweet my blog URL and it's linked to my profile, and despite my view counter, I'm under the impression that this thing is hidden from nearly everyone I know. I never used to be so protective over my writing, but I'm starting to adopt a sort of kinship with it. It's like my baby, metaphorically speaking. My best kept secret. It's like my online diary, in one respect, in another, it's merely a vacuum where I can vent my deepest passions and my greatest desires and upsets. My interests, my loves and hates, everything and anything. Non-specific. Not able to be thrown into one category or the next. From my endless Friends references, to my slight pessimistic streak, it's all contained in a little package I like to call The Beautiful and The Damned.

And you know what the most ironic thing is about it all, I've never even read The Beautiful and The Damned. 

Beginning the Madness.

MASSIVE HELLO.

I'm a total Blogspot rookie, so you'll have to bare with me until I get the hang of this thing. For all of you who don't know me, I'm Eleanor. My nineteen year-old, caffeine-junkie self is currently studying English Literature and Creative Writing, at Northumbria Uni in Newcastle. Writing is my escape, but I've never actually broadcast it online, unless you count my constant tweeting and bitching. I have absolutely no idea what I want to do with my life, but I'm having a hell of a time figuring it out. I've wanted to start blogging for ages, but always seemed to find an excuse. My constant procrastinating has finally come to an end, to the relief of myself, and hopefully anyone who reads this. I really hope you like my blog, and would  hugely appreciate any comments/feedback/help of any kind. I'd like to post something other than my slightly neurotic stream-of-consciousness, but I'm not making any promises. And of course, I wouldn't have been able to do this without Gracie, whose blog is my constant source of reference, conversation, laughter and amazement. She's such a talented writer, and I think you will all love her. So, for now, I'll sign off, send my First Ever blog post into the unknown, and hope for the best.
