Intro

[Jane]

This blog is a necessity. Somewhere I can write semi-anonymously, as my other blogs have been devoured by friends and relations and it has no longer become a place where I can be completely honest or vent frustrations or dare to be anything unexpected or new. Initially I had intended for blog-keeping to be like journal-keeping, personal musings and the like. I don't feel as if I can grow and flourish as a writer or human being under the thumbing watch of my otherwise allies.So a mini-introduction to me, or the new me, would go something like this:I like music, especially new music. Music that makes me move but more than that, feel. I love books but I rarely read them, which is both embarassing and a pity. The thing is, I love to hear stories, I love people telling me stories and I love reading the backs of books and feeling that initial pull of a good story. This, I believe, is why I love films so much. (I am currently reading film and english at university) Their ability to introduce, keep and maintain a good story in a short period of time.I also am a keen traveller. No matter the distance, I love to be away. My favourite trip so far was my biggest trip, last spring I backpacked with a friend all over the UK and Netherlands. It was such a great experience and I look forward to returning.I'm an avid writer but my ambitions are ambivalent. I often float between what I'd like to take up, journalism, fiction, screenwriting. Who knows where life will take me.There's more to me than that but I think I'll leave off with my love of the City. I'm from a small city/large town in Southern Ontario (there's lots of these in S.ON) And its not quite a mecca, but I absolutely adore urban life. I've been to many major cities (TO, NYC, LA, LDN) and I believe that's where my heart truly lies. They say if you're raised in the country you'll always be a country gal, and if you're raised in the city you'll always be a city gal. Well in my case its true.
