			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I really should start to blog more. It&#8217;s something I want to do, but something I don&#8217;t do nearly enough. I also need to open up a little more, and not post stuff along the lines of what I&#8217;m posting today!</p>
<p>Anyway, it&#8217;s been a slow process, but my room is finally coming together. I&#8217;ve bought and assembled two sets of drawers, a new desk and a CD/DVD stand &#8211; all in black/brown, so they match. I&#8217;ve also bought my new 27&#8243; iMac, which is incredibly beautiful, and a LOT faster. I guess this is one of those perks of having a job, and actually having money. I&#8217;ve not been  not able to afford anything since starting work back in April, and I actually really enjoy it. Funnily enough, I don&#8217;t even have to save anything up for my trip to Florida either, because my temporary Christmas job already did that for me! Next stop: the iPhone!</p>
<p>Other than that, not a lot has really been happening. Nothing of major interest at all. I have booked  a train to go see my friend, Hollie, at the end of the month (which includes a very drunk night out). It&#8217;s also less than four weeks till I go on holiday too, I&#8217;m extremely excited!</p>
<p>I did have a bit of a weird day (again) today, though. I sometimes get a bit down about what I&#8217;m doing with myself. I feel like while I&#8217;m on my summer break, I should be making the most of it and finding new things to photograph, or designing for anything and everything, but I just feel drained ALL OF THE TIME. I don&#8217;t even know why, it&#8217;s probably because I work during the weekends and don&#8217;t have anything particular to do during the week, so I get lazy. I swear though, as soon as Uni starts again, I am making the most out of life and pushing myself to the limits. I need to be an amazing designer, especially if I&#8217;m not going to make it as a singer. <img src='http://benjamingell.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, after using Tumblr for nearly two years, and livejournal for goodness knows how long before that, I&#8217;ve decided to use my own personal space for <em>me</em>. Sure, Tumblr is fun for posting pictures and music and stuff, but not really somewhere where your posts are actually read. At least if you&#8217;re reading this here, you&#8217;re not just going &#8220;oh, it&#8217;s a text post&#8230; I&#8217;ll just scroll down and ignore it&#8221;, which is what I feel happens sometimes.</p>
<p>Either way, I&#8217;ve structured this site similar to the site I run over at <a href="http://leonalewisfans.com" target="_blank">LeonaLewisFans.com</a> by allowing people to use twitter to comment if they like. Anyway, I need to finish off editing the design of this and then I&#8217;ll start blogging daily! <img src='http://benjamingell.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
