Sellotaping a Hedgehog's bottom to my chin

Okay. Well I've decided to make a blog for the courtesy of not knowing what else to do with my life. Actually, I should be doing stuff right now like revising for exams, rehearsing for a production I'm doing this week and working to earn money. So yeah, this blog clearly has more advantages than disadvantages.

Since this is my first ever post, I thought I'd tell you a little about myself. My name is Ollie, I'm currently a sixth form student in Northamptonshire, an amateur dramatic actor (essentially just a drama queen) and I work in my local village shop. I get quite paranoid thinking that I might actually be the village idiot sometimes.

So, what's happened in the past week? Well, since you're asking, not much. Which defeats the point of this blog, me telling you all the things that have happened in my life. Oh, actually started to grow a beard. Just to see what it looked like (notice how I'm using past tense) but because I'm such a well groomed gentleman, I couldn't stand having this strange stubble across my face, and it got to the stage where it wasn't yet a beard but also wasn't really a stubble anymore. It was just really prickly and horrible. It felt like I had Sellotaped a hedgehog's bottom to my chin every time I rubbed it against something. So the beard had to go. I'm now back to this clean-shaven face which feels so much nicer and smoother. Still haven't given up on the idea of a beard though, will try it at again at some point. Probably when I get trapped on a desert island or get kidnaped, although could be quite humiliating when I'm rescued with the lack of facial hair I've actually acquired.

So, this is the first of hopefully many blog posts and I promise to have even more stories for you next time. See you laters.
