I've never done anything "bloggy" before... so this is my first ever blog entry.

I guess I should say a little about myself. Obviously I am an Objectivist. I think Ayn Rand allowed me to grow up; before I found Ayn Rand in my early teens I was afraid, what of I didn't know, but i felt a constant pressure upon me. I called myself an atheist but I was so cringingly tolerant of other beliefs and so skeptical of everything that I was probably more mystical than any religious follower.

The first Ayn Rand book I read was Fountainhead: it blew me away and changed my life.

But I want my Blog to focus more on the current events in my life.

I live in quite a rural part of South Africa. So I am very much alone in my convictions. I go to England regularly as I am British: but I find that the majority of people my age there have very different views to my own.

I am notorious at my High school for being "too opinionated". I managed to clear my whole table in art today after I made a criticism of the Kony 2012 movement thingy...

I even enraged one of my friends: to whom I wrote a letter of apology with a picture of me as a donkey... this same friend says I must not voice my opinion when ever I feel the need but must instead simply say "hmmm" (prehaps she is right...)

I'm really hoping that at some point soon I will find some one who shares my values and beliefs.
