About Me
- PixyBean
- Who am i? Who are you? If truth depends on facts which others can change, and reality is little more than perception... surely a definition of "ME" is, to some extent at least, superfluous? maybe. but then again, maybe not.... I am currently a drama and Radio Journalism student and hope to one day produce and direct music video's.
Finding Beanie
Varsity is a daunting place, and even those with the most distinctive sense of self are at risk of losing themselves. I used to believe that I would never ask the inevitable question, "Who am I?". Yet it seems to bang around in my head till I feel more disorientated than a fart in a perfume factory.
This blog is, in essence, my first real exploration into the exciting world of online blogging; a dairy, so to speak. but a fun one. Instead of bothering with trying to write nicely, I can save on glue costs, and jsut put it all together here.
