So, here goes...

Well, hello there.
My name is Eve and I am fourteen years of age.
This blog is an on-going assignment for English class but I don't personally regard writing entries as a chore.
I quite like writing, you see, I find it is a useful medium to express myself. Mostly I write angsty-poetry, the standard, tears and pain stuff.
I don't really write short-stories that often of my own accord but I do enter competitions.
Last year I won the regional writing competition which came with the prize of $500, and I also won the
Val Shearer cup, but that was just a small, school-based thing.
I wouldn't call myself a writer. Though I am a linguistic leaner.
I love to read, it's a major hobby of mine.
I'll read any type of book except for horror, which, I must admit, isn't a genre I have really delved into but I don't like the thought of reading work intended to scare right before I got to bed.

Last year I did some pretty cool things.
I saw my favourite band, My Chemical Romance, live. It was an amazing night.
Three days after that I went to New Caledonia for a week with the French class. That was a great experience.

I also love school. I love to learn and am one of those people, oddly enough, that dislike not knowing or understanding something.
Someone once said, I can't remember who exactly, that true knowledge is understanding how much we don't know.
I am definitely not a genius but I do accept that there is so much out there that not only I, but the world, do not know.

If you know me, you probably would describe me as competitive. Some might say very competitive. They would be telling the truth. Some others, including myself, would say that I don't do anything by halves. That's also true.

Well, blog-reader, you'll be hearing from me soon, three times a week actually. But I have a rather imposing pile of homework to do this weekend and better get started.

Au revior.
