Well, Let's Give It a Go :)

I've always been big on introductions. I like knowing people, and as conceited as it may sound, I like people to know me. So, allow me to introduce myself. 

My name is Elizabeth Blake, but I'd much prefer to be called Lizz, and please, make sure you use two Zs. It's a very frequent and slightly irritating name-spelling mistake. I am 17.8 years old, and I include the .8 because it means that I am closer to 18 than to 17, which is actually quite a big deal for me, but maybe we'll get into that later.

Anyway, my interests include a few teenagery things (is teenagery even a word???) such as texting, wreaking havoc with my friends, and the occasional gossip swap, although I'd much rather keep away from gossip...

I also enjoy writing, reading, sleeping, EATING, long walks on the beach, candle lit dinners, and cuddling by a warm fire. Ahh, the joys of making this blog sound like a dating profile. But fear not, I am merely ranting about my outlook on life, with the help of my lovely fiance, who is still unaware of this recent hobby of mine (the blogging...).

So that is a brief, and potentially boring, introduction of a sarcastic, possomistic teenager. And by the way, a possomist is one who is a pleasant and humorous mixture of a pessimist and an optimist, not one who has an unusual love for possums. It's a made up word, therefore it is not in the dictionary.
