My ambition for this blog is really to be a release.
I'm generally a bit rubbish - very indecisive, over analytical and slightly neurotic. And I worry too much. The combination of these factors had lead me down a path I wouldn't have necessarily chosen if my fairy godmother had waved her wand and said, 'you shall have the career of your dreams!'
The other thing about me, crucial to the creation of this blog, is that I am never satisfied. Yes, I have a job which I work hard at, I can pay rent, it's all...fine...but something's missing. The things in life that excite me, really, are food and photography. That is, as well as travel, singing in harmony (with other people, obvs) or seeing a particularly magical film (most recently, The Artist, a flipping triumph in my opinion).
My worrisome and neurotic side, I think, prevented me from following a career into photography for example. I never thought I was good enough. I'm logical, not artisic, and I convinced myself that my career would surely be founded in organising, not creating, and so started in media production. I can organise the crap out of anything. Apart from this, life just got in the way, you know, earning a living and doing the laundry and that. Poor excuse I know. Somwhere in the back of my mind though was always the panic that if I truely tried, I might fail. So it was always just a hobby.
Boo hoo, sorry.
Anyway, so this blog is a way for me to actively follow up on some things that I like doing. Cooking, eating and taking pics primarily but we'll see where it goes. I always wanted to try my hand at writing as well, after all I did win a creative writing prize when I was 7 at our school's Eisteddfod, so I must be good at it.
Mostly, I find the time to cook on Sundays, and 'Omnom' is just a great vocalisation of someone enjoying food. I hope people enjoy what I post, it may take me some time to get into it but I will try and put something up every couple of weeks to start, and then every week eventually.
Oh and finally, I will probably still muck around with the layout and background, but don't be alarmed, change is good!
