Half full or half empty glassed personalities.

Dear Blog,

I have the strange habit that, whenever I meet someone, a question pops into my head about them which I have to answer. It's what I call the Full or Empty Glassed Question. Reader, you see, it's a bit like a quiz. You observe the person and imagine the following;

Visualize yourself inviting such character to a fine, formal dinner in a luxurious dining room. You prepare an excellent feast and have a splendid time. There's entertainment and music whilst you dine- but near the end of the reunion, you lay an ordinary glass filled half way up in front of the person. You turn to this interesting new individual and ask, 'What do you see?'. Yes, I know. Quite a simple question. But the key is in the answer. They may say 'Blimey, I'd say it's a glass of water that's half full!' or 'Umm... I dunno what you mean by that... I guess it's a glass of water and it's half empty!'

If they answer half full, they are being optimistic. If they answer half empty, they are being negative. Do you see what I meant to interpret previously? It's the same situation but you see and think about it differently, depending on your personality!

It's a way of asking yourself how you think they would react to situations. Yes, I know you must not judge books by their covers, which I should know by loving books, but it's an interesting way of looking at things.

I dare say, I would be, as much as I dread it, a half empty type of person. What about you, dear reader? What would you be?

Until next time,

Daniela

Dear Blog,

I guess one entry wasn't enough for me. I decided to come back, to write another one today. You can call me inpatient, anxious and over exhilarated. I don't know what causes so much excitement, because by now I know it's certain that nothing will happen, even if I never really actually knew what I was supposed to be expecting. Possibly I thought I would gain admirers overnight or so, but I was just being foolish. I found writing a Blog surprisingly amusing, though. And who could blame me? I've always written for pleasure and I intend to continue doing so.

Momentarily, my face is pressed against my bedroom's icy window. Darkness crowds all around me. The empty sidewalks. The chilling silence. It gives me time and space to think; to dream. It's my only opportunity to face matters with clarity or fear and wonder about what the future holds. Who knows? Maybe... just maybe...

Never mind. I should be going.

I hope you'll be hearing from me soon. And you probably will, due to my recent enthusiasm and eagerness to write Blog entries.

Until next time,

Daniela

My first blog entry... how thrilling!

So I've put together a little blog to call my own. How should I structure it? What should I record in it? Should it be sophisticated? Plain? Complicated? Maybe I can start off with a brief introduction if- I don't mean to be discourteous- the reader was lazy enough to not bother reading my description on my profile. Also I can commence with a cliché used in a fresh and different way. Here goes nothing...

Dear Blog,

Incase you've been wondering, and I don't doubt you have, I am known as Daniela. My age, location and last names are classified and unimportant to curious strangers anxiously skimming through my blog entries. I must clarify that I plan to remain anonymous- well, not completely anonymous; I mean, you do know my name and interests... but that's about it. 

As I was saying, I have completely and passionately devoted my life to books. Reading, writing... Everything. Books influence my thoughts, opinions and stories. If I ever become a professional and successful published author, which I deeply and strongly desire, I wish I could have the skill to do so to my own readers. I would have never dreamt of having readers even before I managed to publish a book. But look at me know; I have a blog! It can affect ordinary people's lives! 

Anyway, back to reality. The time I don't spend tackling homework or having my nose stuck in my book, I use to write stories. Who knows? Maybe someday I'll have the courage to post them on this very blog. 

Physical description. Right. Well, I'm awfully tall and I have wild, untamable chocolate curls. That's about all you'll ever get to know about me. 

Having finished my introduction, I bid you farewell and hope my pure nonsense didn't bore you. I will be back soon, and so will new blog entries.

Until next time,

Daniela
