A Note on Style

For people not accustomed to my writing style, I'd like to introduce the strange world of how I type and perhaps my various thought processes. Possibly in bullet point form:

  • Although sometimes it may appear I am depressed, or forlorn, or similar, I am in fact just overally emotive as I like that style of writing.
  • I tend to drift off onto tangents, ramblings and attempt to write about something in a manner that's not typical. I also sound pretentious.
  • I often make up words that sound vaguely correct, or extend certain roots to words that are nonsense but often seem to make sense. I can't think of any now.
  • I sometimes write in the third person. This is mainly to amuse myself, and not some deeply rooted attempt at having a superiority complex.
  • This blog is written to be child, adult, and relative friendly. I hope.
  • I normally write this sort of thing in a coffee shop, after too much caffeine, so its level of sensology could possibly be askew.
  • Black. No Sugar. No Milk.
Finally I shall leave you with how Rachel describes my writing style:

"humoristique, quelquefois assez 'geeky'...I don't know, just natural, funny, slightly eccentric...humour and sarcasm and info and emotastic doodles"

or as Dan said:

"I like your blog it's largely irrelevant gobalgygook"

Blog

Hey, loyal readers, fellow crazy travellers and Rex. You may suspect I have been knocked of the bottom of the earth, but fear not, I'm safely in New Zealand, and doing so much stuff I don't have much time to play upon the internet.

I shall type up some of my journal (and write some days that I haven't done yet) soon. In the meanwhile here is what I have done in bullet point form (I only have 1 min of internet left):

  • Arrived in New Zealand
  • Visited Bay of Islands
  • Sand Boarded
  • Missed a Bus
  • Caught up expertly
  • Went Black Water Rafting in glow worm caves
  • Went White Water Rafting
