Dear World,
Hello again. How are you? I hope you’re okay.
This morning I realised that we are strangers to each other. I don’t know much about you, and you don’t know much about me. All you’ve seen of me is a few letters and some photographs, and that’s only like taking a short peek around a corner. You don’t really know me at all, do you?
If we’re going to go on, you’re going to have to know me. I guess you could visit my About Me page, but it’s a little vague too. Instead, I’ve made a list. A list of ten facts that make up a little bit of what is me. So without further ado, here are ten things you should know about little old me:
1. I love music, especially when it’s loud. If it’s not blaring out my window, it’s blaring through my headphones. Music sounds so much better when it’s loud; if I could, I would have it so loud that the bass would be vibrating my floor and the beats would be so heavy it’d be like a kick in the face. Sadly, I live in a street where not everyone appreciates my loudness, so normally I have my music turned down to an appropriate level… sort of.
2. I have a slight obsession with Zelda and Mario. Oh, and The Elder Scrolls series. I was born into a family of gamers and from a young age I’ve been brought up through various video games.

2. I'm obsessed with Mario.
3. I love movies. My dad is a huge movie fan, and has passed the love of cinema to us, his kids. I especially love French films (mainly because I’m in love with France) or films that make you think. I adore the Lord of the Rings trilogy and I hate Twilight.
4. In my spare time, I write books and daydream. Sometimes I narrate what I’m doing in my head like I’m in my own story book. Then I’d daydream about what might happen next. I have a pretty quirky imagination and spend most of my time in my own dreamland. It sounds pretty crazy I know, but I guess that’s just me.
5. I’m a passionate person. I tend to fall pretty quickly, and when I hit the ground it hurts a lot. But it’s okay, I always have people around who pick me up, brush me off and help me on my way. Some people think I’m a bit dramatic, and maybe I am. They think I feel too much, that I have too much emotion, but I don’t care; I’d rather have more emotion than I can hold in than no emotion at all.
6. I like to smile, and I love to laugh. I love stupid jokes, sheepish grins, hysterical giggling, and tears of joy. I love the sound of laughter, and I love making people laugh.
7. Late nights and early mornings are my favourite times of day. I love that hazy period where it’s not day but it’s not night either, just a slurred mix of the both. I like stepping outside into a world that’s still asleep. I like walking along near empty streets as if I’m the only person alive. I feel invincible at that time of day, it’s an amazing feeling.
8. I’m a Christian, and I’m proud. But I’m not going to shove my religion down your throat. If you don’t believe in the same things as me, I don’t mind. We’re all people here, I’m sure we can get on(:
9. Quirky. That’s me. I’m a huge weirdo, and you’ll start to see that as I post more. You’ve been warned..
10. I don’t want to grow up. Not just yet. I don’t care about drink or drugs or driving or all the other stuff adults do. I’m not interested in any of that. I don’t want to grow up because adults have responsibility. More responsibility than I can handle. I want to be carefree, innocent and invincible for as long as possible. I don’t want to grow up and face the real world. I’m just fine being young and caught up in my own world, thank you.
So I guess that’s me, or part of who I am. But enough about me already, tell me about yourself? What are you afraid of? How do you take your coffee? Who are you? I want to know all about you, because I bet you are amazing.
Tomorrow’s Friday. Make sure you have a Crunchie because, hey, it’s the weekend! Enjoy yourself, and keep smiling.
Love, Parneaus xx
