Why?

Why? Such a good word, why? Has untold possibilities and a range of possible interesting answers. If you looked at this post hoping that that this ‘why?’ Was going to tackle the big issues then I am afraid you have come to the wrong place.
For my why is a much more fickle why, my why refers to why on earth I can only find the piece of mind to write in a coffee shop. I have come to terms with the fact that a great deal of my life is lead by very obvious cliches. For example my love for baggy jumpers, red lipstick, fringes and what have now been termed ‘hipster’ glasses. However one cliche even I find myself uncomfortable to accept is my some what obsessive need to write with a latte in my hand… (Decaf sadly as I am allergic to caffeine and no it is not the same and yes I am very happy lying to myself that it is thanks for asking).
What made this cliche slightly more embarrassing is the need that I felt to inform the very sweet gentlemen who works in my local coffee chain which I am probably not allowed to name (the one that rhymes with farlucks) of the fact I am writing a play. I have excepted the fact that I am, in essence, a dick, but I had not quite realised just how much of a dick I must seem to the outside world until that point.
So I felt the need to start a blog, I have had many attempts at blogging and all have ended in very embarrassing late night drunk blogging along the lines of ‘am I pretty’ and ‘why won’t he love me’ (both I feel have been thoroughly answered) so I decided to start a-fresh with a mature blog all about me.

I am Megan
I am 21
I love knitwear
I am single
And I am currently writing a play about superheroes.

As this blog will prove I also think I am funny, which is why I am writing a comedy play, not my first attempt at comedy but my first attempt at a play. I am aware that stating my play writing intentions are what got me into this, probably ill-advised, blog in the first place so I feel the need to stress a few things and put to bed some miss conceptions you might have about me because of my choice of ‘Career’
1. I don’t smoke, I quite many years ago and have no intentions of starting again
2. I don’t see myself as having an ‘image’ I have always loved fashion and have always dressed like a dick, there’s just a word for it now, ‘hipster’
3. My glasses are prescription, I didn’t buy them to look cool I brought them because of Buddy Holly and because they are Gok Wan a man I will always maintain should be my best friend.
4. I don’t do not subscribe to the whole tortured artist mentality, I write comedy, most of it is based off of anecdotes of my life, which I like to believe is un-arguable prof that whatever religious symbol you prescribe to , has an unflattering sense of humour.

And lastly 5. My unwavering belief that laughing is the most precious thing in the world.

So those are the facts.

Nice to meet you.
