I'm getting about the interwebs, you'd better start hiding...

Well, it's official. I've been cajoled into creating a tumblr, so check me out and follow, follow, follow!
I'll admit it's taking me a while to get the hang of it, so ignore my fumbling first steps, I'm learning fast ;)

Yes. Yes, you want to.

And we shall venture forth...

In approximately one-and-a-half hours, we shall venture forth to receive the black-and-white photos I mentioned a few days ago. I'll not deny I'm rather excited :P

I shall sort through them and see if I can find any worth publication so you people can share in the joy too :')

On another note, my upcoming posts are likely to be fairly short as I'm rather busy cleaning, sorting and packing.
For what, you ask?

Well, in exactly 28 days we're undertaking the rather monumental task of moving from New Zealand back to England xD Whilst being sad to leave friends and the like here, I'm absolutely ecstatic at seeing my family and old friends, as well as several new people I can't wait to meet! One of these good people I shall shout out to, being (as far as I know) the most loyal follower of my blog and just generally awesome person :')

So here's a shout-out for you, Seth!  *Shouts out*

And now my dears, the bedroom calls, and not in the fun way >.<

Guess who's back? ;)

*Blows dust off the "New Blog Post" button*
Well, dudes and dudettes, yes, you're right, it's ME, back from the (un)dead and reporting from Hot off the Blog!
Ooooh, and Happy New Year guys! Albeit about a month late :P

It's been a while, life went on and my dear, neglected blog got slowly forgotten, but a few months of creepily stalking facebook led me to the thing I promised myself I'd never sink to...Formspring. However, this indiscretion eventually led me to a friends blog, and then finally, amidst the "Chariot of Fire" themetune, back to my own (in slow-motion, obviously). Should have seen the joyful reunion, would've made a *insert something heartless* cry :').
Still... wish it hadn't been through Formspring though. Who can predict what boredom'll lead you to do, eh? Not that I'll sink low enough to link all you guys.
*Coughhttp://www.formspring.me/PoppysHideOpiumCough* Ahem, sorry, bit of a cold at the moment.

Sneaky self-promotion aside, my life's been pretty hectic with much music and studying and plenty of writing and pretending-to-study-whilst-going-on-facebook (better hope no one sees that one :P).

Also I've finally ended my procrastination and started learning the real guitar, though I suspect it'll be a while before I'm marked as the next Hendrix (Though obviously even he can't match up to the sheer skill of my air guitar :P). I mean guys, it's pretty sublime. If you don't believe me, just notice how many people disagree *Quickly blocks all people who've seen my air guitar from commenting*.

Anyway, just a short post today to let you all know I'm back in business, and to look out for your *obviously* favourite blogger :P.

More will come soon, so check out my other posts, and if you like what you see ;), be sure to comment and subscribe :D
Aaaaaand now, the moment you've all been looking forward to *drum roll* your question!
Just be warned...there's only one right answer for this :P
Missed me?

First blog posts, bunnies and MY idea of readable writing.

Ok, my first ever blog entry, thought into existence while commenting on someone else's blog, and deciding to make my comment into an entry. So, here goes...*drum roll*

Sigh.
I find it damn near impossible to write about happy stuff. Turmoil, depression, conflict ect always seem to be more real and interesting both to read and write, and really, who wants to hear about 
fluffy little bunnies making fwends in sunny, beautiful meadows and living in harmony with the other animals, pools of clear, unpolluted water to drink from and an abundance of sweet, pesticide-free lettuce kindly laid out by the friendly farmer who exists only to make sure no one goes hungry? 

Not me.

I like interesting situations where you actually don't know if it's going to work out all right in the end, and you start actually worrying about your favourite character because the plot isn't all predictable, safe and happy, and you know there's a good chance that the troubled, disturbed yet still endearing (because of his flaws!) will lose the girl, end up on the run because no one believed he wasn't the murderer, or (Shock! Horror!) die!

Just my opinion, though. No offence intended to the writers of "Fluffy's Fwends: A Bunny's Tale of Sunny Days and Flowers"
