Blogs written by Irish teenagers

CiaraBelle · 02-01-2010 12:35AM #1

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?

Cian92 · 02-01-2010 12:52AM

Ya I would love to read one too!

Jay P · 02-01-2010 01:05AM

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?

highlydebased · 02-01-2010 01:05AM

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

) 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.

Maybe tomorrow, if there's really that much interest.

Oh go on and link it! I can always do with something new to read! :P

Be careful what you wish for!

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

cHaTbOx · 02-01-2010 05:52AM

I'll check that out when i get on my laptop. I am going to be writing more and putting songs in my blog soon . Will be checking out anyone who puts links up as long as they don't spam

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

KnifeWRENCH · 02-01-2010 06:00AM

I has blog

Not just any old blog.....a boards/social.ie blog. Two entries, one of which I just wrote. James Joyce I am not.

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.

True story!

Jay P · 03-01-2010 05:10PM

I just entered my first blog entry a few minutes ago, it's here.

I'm a bit embarassed by it for some reason.

jefreywithonef · 03-01-2010 05:58PM

Haha that Walsho blog is brilliant.

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.
