This is what my bedroom looks like at the moment. As you can see, I’ve run out of room on my desk and started putting things on the floor. Actually, one of my drawers is on the floor. I don’t even remember why, so it must’ve been there for a while.

You can’t see it in the photo (which, by the way, I took with my DSi because I couldn’t be bothered to look for my camera) but my alarm clock fell off the bedside table and took a mug with it and the mug smashed. They’re both still on the floor because I’m too lazy to bend down and pick them up.

I should probably be ashamed, but I can’t even be bothered to feel shame. Lately I seem to spend more of my time procrastinating and thinking about doing things than actually doing them. And when I do do something it inevitably goes wrong, and I end up feeling like I might as well not have bothered.

Like today. I got up early to book tickets for me and Steve (@steveforan) to see The Feeling, and fully intending to write one of my five essays afterwards. What I actually did was book a week on the Norfolk Broads, because obviously I’ve been working hard and desperately need a holiday.

Then hunger overtook laziness for a while, and I had to drag myself to Tesco because I’d run out of food. I scanned my Clubcard key fob, put my keys on top of the self-service checkout, and actually thought to myself, “Ha, I bet I forget to pick them up again.” Then I walked home and realised I’d forgotten to pick up my damn keys. How is that even possible? How can somebody think something, and then forget about it in the time it takes to tear off their receipt?

You know what…? I don’t think there’s even going to be a point to this. But the kitchen’s messy because we stayed up late playing the celebrity Post-it note game, and I don’t want to clean it. And it’s clearly more fun to write a light-hearted blog post than an essay titled, “The dominance of US television programmes worldwide amounts to a form of ‘cultural imperialism’. Discuss.”

I’ll probably blog again later, too. It’s been a while and I totally have lots of things to tell you. Stick around, OK?

But I’ve forked out £12 now, so I’m determined to get my money’s worth and do something with it. Which explains the “installed-WordPress-on-a-whim-and-just-tweaked-the-default-theme-a-bit” look.

Anyway, I’m Mike (duh), I’m 20 years old, and I’m a media student. (Or, at least, I was until I finished college; and will be again when I start university in September.) I live with my mum, my stepdad, and one of my stepdad’s fetid offspring in Bedfordshire.

In my spare time, I design and run websites, write, sleep a lot, stalk people on Facebook, and watch copious amounts of TV.

Things I am a fan of include The Feeling, Ace Attorney, Zachary Quinto, The Sims, Two Pints, Pokémon, Heroes, Big Brother USA, Attitude magazine, and Final Destination.

Things I am not a fan of include Fearne Cotton, ITV News, action films, the Conservative Party, hot weather, Coldplay, Jo Whiley, Microsoft, and Lemsip.

That’s pretty much all you need to know about me. Anything else you can pick up along the way.

Speaking of which, I’m still not 100% sure what I’m going to be blogging about. But you can expect life stuff, Web design and writing projects, reviews, crappy student films, and pretty much everything else that pops into my head that I can’t squeeze into 140 characters.

Hmm, this could actually be fun.
