Stoke-On-Trent

I’m currently staying at the Weather Vane in Stoke-On-Trent as I’m going to Keele University tomorrow (it’s my ‘firm choice’ uni).  I have to admit, I’m a little surprised at how… northern the accent is here (although I’m sure many would disagree). It sounds kind of like the Liverpool accent, but maybe that’s just me.  I’ve been to Leicester and Nottingham before, and didn’t think their accent was anywhere near as obvious.  If anyone’s from the North, please share your thoughts on this.  Perhaps it’s because I’m from Essex – though I DO NOT speak like those on TOWIE!  Honest!  Anyways, the hotel-place is nice (only £40 for a twin room), and the city centre has some good shops.  We had a look at the indoor market today, and discovered that the fruit there was a lot cheaper than at home (99p for strawberries, 89p for a huge bag of apples!).  I’m glad I’ve got Keele as my 1st choice and Westminster as my 2nd, as I don’t think I’d be able to afford to live in London!

And So We Begin! (As Said On Fable 2)

The idea of writing a blog has appealed to me for quiet some time now, but I’ll be the first to admit that my life isn’t always so exciting that I feel the need to share it with the world.  So, what to write about?  I could, of course, discuss various issues that are on my mind, or current affairs, movies, music, etc, etc, etc.  This would be fine for a short amount of time, but I’m easliy distracted, and I’m sure I’d soon find myself writing 3 lines every month, eventually descending into nothing.  Hence the reason why I’ve decided to write fictional pieces (and occasionally accompany them with drawings or photos of my own).  This way, I hope to a) Continue to write on a regular basis, b) Write something worth reading, and c) Do some work for my EPQ, for which I’ve decided to write a short story based on neuroscience, with a (probably) gothic horror twist.  Yeah, not ambitious or anything!

 

Well, that’s my first post-thing done (woo), so now onwards we go, into the mind of the girl in the room who doesn’t say much, but is always listening and observing (that’s supposedly a description of me, but just sounds creepy, if I’m honest).

 

Enjoy!
