So its the tricky second blog post; I had planned on sitting and thinking it through some more and having some pictures to post, however knowing me I'll just put it off forever.
I have spent the last year swinging in between becoming a baking fiend and giving up altogether. I love baking to make other people smile, for special occasions and to feel like i'm actually good at something. And yet my icing and the actual presentation are usually disastrous, the recipes not my own, and the cakes not outstanding in flavour or originality. Just when I'm verge of giving up all baking hope, I get the kitchen side clean again and feel the need to make it a mess, realising I owe someone else a cake.
Spring gets me all excited and rejuvenates my crafty energy with thoughts of cute little valentines cakes and easter goodies! And here I go again with flour and icing sugar all over the kitchen. First on the agenda for the year are two friend's birthdays at the end of the month; one with the grand ambition of a giant fondant fancy as he loves them so much. Should be a fun and simple project which I look forward to sharing with you all.
2010 looks to be a fun and promising year :)

New Perspective
Well, you may arrive to read this thinking I have never blogged before but you would be wrong. This is my first flirtation with Blogger in this shiny new year of 2010; my blogging life began in 2005 during my student days on a Halo machinima website called Red vs Blue. Here I wrote journals on my life, music, movies and made a great group of online friends who I still keep in contact with on Facebook. I went through the internet stages of My Space and briefly MSN Spaces before finding a happy home in Facebook and dabbling in Twitter. Writing online journals really seems to be taking off again, so I thought I'd throw my self-centred waffle out into the world wide web and see if anyone cares to read it.
I always tended to use song lyrics for journal titles, this always gave me the most agony trying to decide on what to call it. My first thought was 'Same old brand new you' but referencing a song by A1 doesn't sound like the best example of my musical taste even though it strikes the subject I wanted. Thus I have got this far through my writing without a title, I'm hoping something will come to me by the time I reach the end (its ok there isn't long left to bear).
Most of my friends whose blogs I follow have a particular theme to what they write, from gamers to crafting geniuses, I suppose as my unhealthy habit is baking a lot of focus can be put on that topic, photos and all. My 'waffle house' eludes to both my baking and my nonsensical rambling that you will come across here. I'm certainly not an eloquent writer and I have nothing important to say, my html skills are non existant but its all good fun and I thank you for your time and patience.
