Pieces of me part 1.

Hi! When I signed up for this blogger account, my intention wasn't to write a blog of my own, but to comment on my friend Sarah's, who's just moved to Darwin and started up her own blog. My friend Jade inspired Sarah (and others, I don't doubt) to write a blog and now perhaps both of them have inspired me to do so too.

I was thinking that it might make me stop updating my facebook status every five minutes too, if I have have a blog. Or not, that's a promise I can't make because I have an unhealthy obsession with updating my status. If this helps me not update it so much, I think it could make some people a little bit happy.

Anyway, as I was saying before I interupted myself, I wanted to comment on Sarah's blog and I was trying forever to do so, well, not forever, obviously - but a good 10 minutes. It just kept saying something like "You cannot comment on this blog." I'd commented on Jade's many times before, so I just figured maybe I have to register to be able to comment on Sarah's. So, I did. Then I commented on Sarah's blog and left the computer a happy girl.

Fast Forward a a couple of weeks later - to today - and here I am. It's 11.34 at night and I can't sleep - which isn't unusual because I'm a night person, not a morning person - and so I decided to write a blog. I'm half way through and I'm still not sure what I'm going to write about.

Reading other blogs, I've come to notice that a first blog is usually about themselves. So, I guess I'll just continue with that tradition and write about me.

I'm Seona, but it's pronounced Shona. I am aware that it is different, maybe even a little weird. With the name comes a lot of questions.
"How do you spell it?"
"How do you pronounce that?"
"Where is your name from?"

It is pretty funny when a person reads my name for the first time and says "that's such a pretty name! How do you pronounce it?" I just think to myself "How do you know it's pretty, when you don't even know what it is?" Some people call me See-own-a, others Shawna. I stopped correcting people ages ago. I remember when I was at school, for the first few weeks at the beginning of every year, my friends would yell "it's "Shona" for me, because I gave up correcting the teachers when they called the roll.My friends call me (it's pronounced) Shown. But my friend Courtney, who thinks she's funny loves to call me "see-own."

The things I love are my friends, my family and all my technology. The things I hate are clothes shopping, ice-cream and chocolate. I am fully aware that people think thats not normal. I don't like dogs and cats. Well, it's not that I don't like them because I can see that dogs are cute, but from a distance. The only dog I will let near me is my own. Woody is cute and old and friendly and never jumps on me. Cat's stare at me as though they're ready to pounce. When I had an operation on my knee, I went to my friend Claudia's house and I sat on her couch with a huge ugly brace on, that prevented me from bending my leg, or walking very fast. Certainly not running - and she held her cat near me because I couldn't run away and I just screamed so hard. I think I grabbed onto Jade's t-shirt, like I thought that would protect me - sorry Jade.

Other than that I'm just someone who loves going out, catching up with friends and having fun. I'm really emotional and I cry in movies and in TV shows. I take my camera with me everywhere and I have thousands of photos - if not more - not even kidding. I have an older Sister, 3 older brothers and, if you do the math, that makes me the youngest of 5. It has it's good points and it's bad, much like anything in life, I guess.

That's it, I'm done for now. Hopefully I haven't scared you off just yet. Hold out til one more - if you still don't like this, then I give you permission to leave. ;)

(that's pronounced, Shona, remember?)

P.s Tomorrow, Collingwood play Essendon and of course The Pies are going to win. Since it's ANZAC day, let's remember all those who fought for our Country.
