What shall I post about today?

I was informed today that I should make another post by a person who started up a blog after me and has already posted 3 times. No prizes for guessing who...
Anyway I really don't have anything much to post about so be prepared for some silliness.
I sent an email to a friend the other day referring to the exploitation of walruses (I really did!!!). You see in my school drama class in third form we had to create our own character and do various scenes interacting with other peoples characters, and other such things. One of the exercises in developing our character was to draw the door of their house. Some of my friends vandalised my picture (does it count as vandalism when they have permission?) with numerous flowers and peace signs, so my character was established as a hippy going by the name of sunbeam moonshine or something similar.
Now a hippy needs something to protest about, so I decided that I would protest against a new (and imaginary) icecream product named walrus pops. The problem with this new product was of course that it exploited walruses.
This is just one of many stories from the store of Ray's silly memories, and I'm sure many more will come to the surface in the future.
As for some silliness that occurred this week there is sadly very little that I can remember, although my wonderful flatmates may be able to remedy my forgetfulness. The best I can come up with is to say that I fell down the stairs today, and went for a bit of a slide on my bottom. Ouch! I promise to try and be sillier this coming week, I'm sure it must be time for some truely majestic act of silliness.

My very first post

Ruth would like to say that she has first comment glory because she would have first comment if she wasn't going to bed right now.
Now for what I would like to say... I have finally after many months of consideration joined the world of blogging. And what is the reason for my eventual decision?
Well, it's not a boy, it's not because I think people need to be enlightened by my (non-existent) brilliant insights into life, and it's not because I feel the need to spread my silliness although I do like to be silly on many occassions.
The reason is in fact quite simply because I have been attempting to get to know people in my group of friends better over the last year or so, and have been rather unsuccessful. In fact I (and probably other people too) consider myself to be on the outside of a lot of what is happening. So I'm hoping that having this blog will keep me in the loop a little more.
