So, this is my...

I wonder how many people start with "So, this is my first blog". That was my first thought when it came to typing here, as it seemed like a nice easy, obviously statement upon which to base the following text.

Then I decided that it was stupidly boring, so I am instead going to start with the statement "Entwined is an excellent word.

Entwined is an excellent word. I love the imagery that it provides, without a stupidly descriptive sentence (though please, do not get me wrong, I love writing stupidly detailed sentences). Entwined, to me, sparks a beautiful classical image of a creeper, wrapped complexly around something - a pole, a house, a fence - and never letting go. It can be used metaphorically "She was entwined in the thought of him," or literally "The vine had entwined itself around the statue". Thus, I like the word. Thoughts? Words that you like?

I bid you welcome to the great expanse that is blogging. I do look forward to reading your thoughts, ideas and irrelevant superflous gabble!

Great!
A very interesting twist on "my first blog entry".
I'm going to be thinking about that word for the rest of the night now.
Keep up the good work.

I had a mental image of a person becoming entwined in a creeper after I read that.

Then I realized no-one would stand still for that long XD

I must say, I love reading over past pieces of writing. Yours, by the way. And I'm remembering more and more as I do. I have a terrible memory, and so, after reading this, I remembered my love for the word entwined and everything it means to me.

So, thank-you for reminding me.
