Hi, this is the first time I've ever written a blog!
Ok, so that's not true at all. I've started loads of blogs, but I always get bored of them pretty quickly. There's only so much to tell the world when you live in your mum's spare room in Walsall.
So, because of this, I thought I'd try writing a series of 'top ten' lists, a format that shouldn't be so easy to get bored with. I've always loved making lists of things - it brings a nice sense of neatness and order to an otherwise random array of stuff.
I'm going to endeavor to make lists of everyday sorts of things. Things that we can all nod and say 'ah' and 'aha' and other similar expressions of mild amusement to. Then again, maybe one day I'll decide I really need to make a list of the ten best specks of dust in my room, or my favourite door handles. Who knows, let's keep it open eh?
So, to start off, here are ten facts about the author:
1. I am 21 years old.
2. I currently live in Walsall, which is a horrible little town on the edge of Birmingham.
3. I hold a degree in music and music technology from Keele University.
4. I work in a small jazz bar, and a really good independent clothes shop (www.atoo.co.uk). Both in Birmingham city centre.
5. If I'm not in Birmingham, I'll probably be in Leeds or Stoke-On-Trent, seeing my girlfriend Hannah.
6. I like buying expensive clothes. I think I have about 25 pairs of jeans now.
7. I'm terrible with money.
8. I don't like sending text messages, unless it's to ask a question with a simple answer, or to tell you something that you don't need to respond to. I use voicemails instead of text messages and it really annoys people.
9. It takes me exactly 50 minutes to go from getting out of my bed to leaving the house. This routine only really comprises having a shower, sorting my hair out, and getting dressed.
10. I listen to BBC radio 4 more than is probably healthy.
