I was thinking about anonymity, as you do on a Wednesday afternoon, when you should be writing your essential GCSE English coursework,which your well meaning teacher has stressed is of the utmost importance in receiving the elusive A*. But, I am experiencing a near fatal writers block and so, I'm afraid, I will have to inflict my inane ramblings on you, by starting a blog.
Which brings me back to anonymity. Before I continue any further dear reader, I must stress most emphatically that I am not, who I say I am. Alarm bells pealing, I'm sure.
Don't fret, I'm merely writing under a pseudonym of Anushka Cox, in order to protect my own identity and allow me to speak candidly. Oscar Wilde once said that a "Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth".
So, in that vain, I'll begin with a few facts about me:
- I'm currently 15, I'm born on April Fools day (yes, I've seen every trick in the book, no, they are still not funny) and inhabit the whimsical city of Birmingham, UK - please note the irony fellow brummie's - where I'm studying for my GCSE's.
- I'm an aspiring actress, so prepare for rehearsal and audition anecdotes as well as plenty of reviews.
- I'm a bit of a saddo. There's no kind way to say it. I read Shakespeare for fun, I like writing essays on it. I'd much rather go to the RSC and watch a play than join the typical teenage girl and the One Direction hype. This sadness keeps extending to more and more authors/playwrights - I attempted Chaucer the other day - as I read and perform more more. Unfortunately,Chaucer is still beyond me but I will get there. Therefore, any recommendations would be much appreciated!
Hope I haven't put you off!
Anushka
