The Chronicles of Kirsty Kitson (it's like Narniahttp://kirstylaurakitson.blog.co.uk/I blog! There I am.. Am what? One of a growing number of geeks laying bare my innermost to complete strangers online? Well, no. First of all I'm far too awesome to be a geek and secondly by putting my name in the blog I clearly have no reservations about anyone seeing it. I studied Journalism at University of Lincoln and always wanted to be a writer when I 'grew up'. Except for the period when I wanted to be a Butlins redcoat. And when I was 9 I wanted to be a tractor... Nevertheless, I decided that my mediocre angst bomb blogs were getting tedius. I had two blogs, one where I would put any throughts/feelings into meaningful prose and rant in the stylings of your average Sunday paper 'journalist'. Which by the way, I'm not sure that because you once presented some Saturday night cheese-fest and you're opinionated that qualifies you to even do that role but nevertheless. My other blog was about me. It was far more personal and far more private. I did come to thinking though, I think it was after I was referred to as 'schizo' last night, I figured people have enough opinions about me anyway so god forbid they hear the truth. The other blog wasn't always a laugh a minute mainly down to me being, well, mainly down. I have severe depression which let me tell you, is immensely fun to use to mess with people in a small little town like where I'm based (for now). So! Aside from insights into my damaged mind and such, I'll put my unimportant opinions on the most mundane of things. And you'll read them. And you'll chuckle. And you'll want more. Fact. By the way I never got to complete my Journalism degree...I met a boy instead. See?

Not too bad for a first blog then I suppose?
