An old life revisited.
Someone on Twitter was talking about how they’d reached their 4 year blogging anniversary and it got me wondering as to when I wrote my first blog post. I knew my email address (my hotmail one) turned 10 last summer, but when did I first don my blogging cap?
After some digging around trying to remember the URL to the darn thing, it turns out my first blog post was on April 26th, 2005. The blog, lovingly known as Pop*n*Fresh, can be found here (WARNING: there’s muchos swearing and debauchery, if easily offended).
I was in my final year of Sixth Form College studying Economics, History, Psychology, European Studies and Film Studies. I had been rejected by Cambridge, worked in kitchens, still drove a car and I regularly spent weekends chinwagging with the likes of Max Clifford and Frank Lampard. I spent a lot of my time drunk…
I kept up with that blog pretty regularly until its eventual demise in January 2006. It’s been pretty emotional to read all the posts as it was a pretty life-changing time. Caroline and Daniel, two of my most gorgeous, beautiful and naughty friends, died. I left college, left home, moved to London, started university and met the man that I’ve lived with ever since.
I’m pleased I found that blog. It’s nice to look back at a slightly wilder time :-)
