So I've decided to create a blog, it seems to be the done thing these days. There's not really going to be a theme to this blog, other than me, really, and my life. All aspects of it, love, work, fun and yes, sex, afterall, that is pretty much the meaning of life, reproduction and all. This first post is probably going to be pretty long, going to get most of the intro stuff done in one hit. After this the posts might be a few words to a few paragraphs, who knows?
First things first then, me. Who am I? Well, as it's probably not hard to figure out, my names Leah, I'm 21. I live in a four bedroom flat in Sout-East London/Essex with my two best friends Natasha and Jenny, although it would be pretty safe to say Jenny's boyfriend, Mike, and my boyfriend, Dan, both live here, which is all good, but more on them later. I am currently employed as an administrative office worker in a local college (the same college Dan attends), but that's a job I pretty much just fell into, not to say I don't enjoy it, and it's pretty easy money, but it's not very fulfilling. What I really want to do, what I love, is photography, I've been doing it seriously for 5 years now, slowly building a portfolio and contacts and working towards a BA in Photography and Fasion&Brand promotion. In my spare time I do yoga and kickboxing, as well as the photography, or you'll find me in a pub or bar with my friends, just having fun, maybe playing some pool. I've kinda grown tired of the whole club/rave scene, but sometimes I enjoy it. Although, most often I'll be at home, with Dan, Mike, Nat and Jen, watching tv/films, or playing on the Playstation/PS2/Xbox/SNES/N64/Dreamcast...I'm a bit of a gamer.
Music-wise I listen to almost anything, I used to be pretty hardcore Indy, but recently I've started to listen to alot more music that can be best described as, well, Indy-Hip-Hop, well, it's how I like to describe it. Stuff like Roots Manuva, Ty, Kano, Mos Def, A Tribe Called Quest, Aim, more mellow and soulful than your generic gangster/playa rap shite. I like nu-soul/acid-jazz/trip-hop too, especially stuff like Martina Topley Byrd, Aim, Babybird, Sia, Natalie Williams. But the best band ever is The Commitments!
I suppose I should probably go into the other players in this theater of life, so here they are, one by one:
Dan: My boyfriend and probably my best friend, he's 19 and a IT Networking student. Kinda young physically (although he'd pass for 25 if you saw him) but more mature than alot of men I know ten years older. We will have been together four months on the 24th of October. He might post here in the future, maybe not, we'll see. He's a really down to earth guy, I don't think I know anyone who has a bad word to say about him, not anyone who actually knows him atleast. And I know the way this is going to sound, but he's pretty much the kinda guy almost any girl would love to be with. He's kind, caring, witty, funny, passionate, dependable but not boring, considerate, stylish, hunky, buff and handsom but not so's he knows it, he doesn't spend ages making sure he looks good infront of the mirror, and that why he looks good, I like 'em a little rough around the edges. He's romantic but not cheesily/overly so, honest, open but still really masculine. He's full of an insane amount of almost completly useless facts, can fix almost anything and is probably the best cook I've ever had cook for me, bar my nan. And what's more he's a dynamo in the sack. He does have some down sides 'tho, he's the most cynical person I know, think Gregory House levels of cynicism here, although he is still quite optemistic. He's also about as rational and fair as they come, he's great at seeing all the sides of an argument, which while it sounds like a good thing, can be REALLY annoying when you're pissed off with someone but you know you really shouldn't be. Oh, and he can be a sarcastic bastard sometimes. But most importantly, we connect, he knows what's wrong when I'm upset, he knows what's bothering me when I'm annoyed and I know he'd move heaven and earth to make me happy again, in his arms I feel like there isn't a force on earth that could hurt me.
Natasha, Jenny and Mike: The three other people who live in the flat. Natasha's 21 and likes to describe herself as trysexual (I'm sure you can figure it out). She's not a slut, not by a long shot, but she knows what she likes and what she likes is sex. Her, Jenny and me have been best friends since we all still had baby teeth, we know everything about eachother, we've been through ALOT with eachother, they're my family. Jenny's 21 too, a bit ditzy and a bit carefree, but she's good to the core and I can't say anything bad about her. Mike's her boyfriend, he's 25 and on the surface he comes accross as being the kinda goofy joker, but when you get to know him he's alot more mature than people think, when you need him to be you can trust him.
My family: I use the term family in the literal sense, I class all the people above as family, family to me doesn't mean blood relations, it's the people who care about you regardless of anything. But that includes my blood relatives. I have quite a big family. Dad is an architecht, Mum is an interior designer. The older of my two big brothers, Frank, is an architecht too, married with 2 kids. My big sis Becka is 25, married with 1 kid, and my other big brother is Dave, he's 23 and an aspiring DJ, kind of a career jump from his previous occupation of Priest.
Dan's lot: Dan has the same philosophy to family as me, his Mum and Sister are great, his Dad left when he was young. Tyrone, Kev, Nick and Chris are his best friends, this is getting kind of long so I wont go into them in detail, but they're like brothers. They'd do anything for him, and because of that they'd do anything for me, and that's a nice feeling. Nikki, Laura, Gemma and Jodie are his best friends too, they hang around with the other guys, if the guys are his brothers, they're his sisters. Some girls might be jealouse of his relationship with them, especially Nikki, but I'm not, I know them all, they're pretty good friends of mine too, I know he doesn't even look at them in that way.
So, I think I'll leave it there for now, it's a bit longer than I envisioned, but what the hell. I'm gunna head to bed now, I'll probly play around with the layout and stuff a bit tommorrow.
