Blogs written by Irish teenagers

    I read a lot of blogs but I don't really know any written by Irish teenagers. Now maybe we're just not that into blogging compared to say America, but I'd love to read something that I can relate a bit more to, and not just Leaving Cert blogs because they can get a bit tedious...
    Any ideas?

    Actually, I just decided I'd like to start a blog this year, as a resolution or something...

    Does anybody know a good place to put it?

    I used to write one, long ago...

    Sadly it was hijacked by ghouls who posted ****e saying I was emo and to grow up etc etc etc etc, therefore I've been disincentivised to write em' any more.. :(

    I have a now-seldom-used blog on blogspot that I set up two weeks before the Leaving Cert.

    I tend to use it to dump gay stuff I'd be too embarrassed to say to anyone in a one-on-one context.

    Cringe away.

    No offense to him now, but unless you have a brandy or something as strong to hand, DO NOT read PurpleNail Overlord's blog when he posts it. It's heavy. I read it once. Never again!

    To be fair, at least it isn't a blog that solely revolves around school/uni. Even though, now that I think about it, alot of life revolves around that anyway for us young peoples. I guess Poetry Man is just getting old. :pac:

    There's a user on here called The Walsho (who I actually haven't seen posting for ages). Among the blogging community, his blog is apparently pretty famous.

    I read it a few times when he was posting about it in the Leaving Cert forum; very funny guy.

    I had lots of lecturers encourage me to set one up (apparantly it would help me in my course :confused:) so I decided to give it a go last November. Only posted 3 entries so far and none for the last 3 weeks, but I definitely want to get back into it when I'm back in college.

    Yeah, you've summed it up fairly well there!

    I only started writing mine after I turned 20, so it wouldn't qualify as a teenager's blog anyway. I posted a link to it recently, and wouldn't mind posting it again, but you'd want to be as mad as I am to read what I have to talk about.

    23 entries altogether, and the newer ones don't make much sense unless you've read the oldest ones. Don't say you weren't warned :o

    TBH, it couldn't be much worse than my old blog. It was woefully self-obsessed and full of ramblings that I thought were meaningful at the time.. :P

    I actually came into this thread to link to this. Mark's a friend of mine, and also possibly the most hilarious guy in the world. Ever.

    Thank you all very much, greatly appreciated.

    I think I better hang around this forum a little more. There's ego-grooming to be had.

    Oh sorry.
    Well, to all users of boards- what can I say about The Walsho? The man behind the blog...

    There's something truly spectacular about this gentleman- something I can't quite put my finger on.

    Is it his dashing good looks?
    His hilarity? His charm?
    His tastefulness?
    All of the above? Well of course. But also so much more...

    :pac:

    Walsho, your blog on the barbers could've been written by me. Except recently I've met a sound male barber, it's nearly exactly like your vision of a perfect barbers (except he's male).

    I should seriously get my own blog...

    I'm going to go ahead and assume you meant the "Grooming one's hair" kind of grooming, in which case, that's a lie!

    Hi.....I'm not sure if this would be of any interest to you but a 2nd yr student in my school has his own blog and has won some awards for it. It is called Trust Tommy. Hope this helps!

    Just read your whole blog there, from the beginning. It is beautifully written. I don't usually manage to read a whole blog like that, but yours is something special.

    Whenever I write about myself, I feel completely vain and can rarely get beyond the first paragraph without thinking I'm a mighty tool altogether. Sure, there's boards anyway, tis' pretty much a blog. :P
