The (hopefully-not-so) Typical 'About Me' Post



At first, I wanted to start this post – the first post of my first official blog – with something deep, clever, and meaningful. But then I thought to myself, why? So I can show anyone who’s reading this who I am? So that that person may think that I, in turn, am deep, clever and meaningful? So that I can ask more rhetorical questions?

Nope, not me.

So, here it is; my first post. Which, to all effects of predictability, is an ‘About Me’ post.

Hello there!

My name is Bryton, like the city in England. For anyone who knows me well though, it’s just Bryt. Like ‘bright’, only fancier. Kind of. 

I was raised in a super-duper small down in the middle of nowhere (otherwise known as Northern Ontario), so I won’t bore you with the details of small town life right now. If you would like to be bored at any time though, don’t hesitate to ask!

Currently, I’m a third year English student at the ripe old age of twenty one. In the fall I’m also planning on taking some art classes, in order to gain a second teachable subject if I decide to apply to teachers’ college (yet another boring topic for most of you, I’m sure).

I live with my boyfriend, as well as our hamster, Millie. My dream is to own a pug named Pippin, but alas, that will have to be time permitting. Also, I’ll have to convince my boyfriend of it first.

Now, on to the (more) interesting stuff! I’ve wanted to start a blog for a long time, but just haven’t had the time/confidence/motivation/inspiration. I also want to start posting video onto my YouTube channel, instead of just creeping on other people’s videos 24/7, but that’s another thing that will have to be time-permitting. I’m also going to need a webcam, or some sort of decent camera. If you have any suggestions, please let me know!

I have many interests, some that have gained ground recently, and others that I would like to put aside time for to pursue more passionately. On this blog, I would like to write about beauty related things including nail polish, organizational stuff, traveling (when I get to do so), as well as books and crafts. I don’t get to read many books outside of school anymore, but I think that just makes the ones I do read all the more special.
I also love photography, so I’m looking forward to just taking pictures of the things I post about. Haha, I can be so nerdy.

Anyway, I guess that’s all for now, folks! If you have any questions or (even better) suggestions, please leave me a comment, or e-mail me at thebrytside@gmail.com.

Thank you for beginning this adventure with me, and let’s see where it takes us!
