It's sunny here sometimes, I swear!

Well this is very convenient, posting photos from flickr to blogger. Whatever will they think of next? (I feel like some mistrusting technophobic middle aged person, I feel like my mother!)

My flickr account (heavypetal, find me... I have no friends and I'm not entirely sure how you go about acquiring them), much like this blog in fact, has been long established but seldom used. Until now, hurrah, when I have actually got round to uploading some photos. It would seem I only really take pictures of three or four types of things anyway. These are (in no particular order): graves, cats, trees, castles.

I'm not quite sure what the fascination is with any, they just always seem to find their way in front of my lense.

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

Testing testing, one, two, three...

I have somehow managed to make my blog look (sort of) like my website.

Imaginative title, eh?

Well this is a blog I've created to go with my website www.seventeenandinsane.com

About me: I am a 23 year old Edinburgh-based freelance writer and web designer. I moved up here from Sheffield in August 2007. Yes I'm one of those people lured up by the festival and then it slowly dawned on me that 'bugger, I can't actually find a job'. Still, not one to be deterred I have decided that if no one is willing to give me an opportunity I will make one myself. I'm very enterpirising like that. Maybe it's coming from the home of industrial revolution that is Manchester, it's in my blood to be a work-horse.

I guess that this is a way for me to track my progression really and share (or receive, please) any tips on being a jobbing writer/designer and setting up a small (very small, tiny) business. It's also somewhere for me to write, mess around with ideas and post inspiration.

I can't promise it will be very interesting to start with but keep watching, it should get better.
