Good evening.

This is my first blog entry. After an on-off relationship with DeviantArt and several half-hearted subscriptions to various 'creative' circle websites I figured it might be best to start afresh. Again.

After a fairly unproductive day (though numerous attempts at beating a smug computer-animated moo named Angelina on Nintendo DS Scrabble and the beginnings of an essay plan are not to be sniffed at) I am sitting in my room in low light listening to Porcupine Tree. They are rather good, and thus join the list of my current favourite music. For those that are interested, it consists of the following:

*Golden Silvers
*Pretty much anything Zane Lowe plays on his show
*Porcupine Tree
*Eugene McGuinness
*Four Tet
*Joy Division
*The Skids

Ahem. So, to the purpose of this blog. I intend to post photos (new found 'hobby' thanks to the gift of a rather nice camera for my birthday) and also some of my poetry, which has been festering and collecting cyber dust in the folder marked 'My Writing' on my laptop.

As a reward for reading this, here's a new one I wrote yesterday.

You sat quite contentedly
Recounting the time when
Your network failed.

It let you down.
In a way that your etched skin mural
Never will.

A piece of your heart died
And there were engineering works
Biro spiral springs to hold open tunnels.

Luckily for me, my scanning was insufficient
And the bit that ceased to work
Was not the part concerned with me.

If you have never listened to Lazarus by Porcupine Tree, then do. You will thank me for it.

Best wishes xxx
