Niphxs anyone?

What would you call a reverse sphinx? A xphins? I only ask because that's what faith- my misanthropic cat- looks like at the moment. She's sitting on top if the computer and I can only see her front half. She also tries to kill me if I get past; no riddles though, 'cept 'Hisstttthhh'.

Pontikino.

Sorry, I just don't want to forget that word: it means 'Mouse Island' in Greek. Also, Barbossa was real pirate who sacked Skopelos in Greece with 150 ships, killing all its inhabitants.
And they say you learn nothing on Work Experience.
(If you ever see a book called something like Greece: A photographic Journey, buy it. I did some of the captioning. I think.)

First post, but why now?

Umm...Ok, here's the deal. I'm officially 16 years and one day old today, and I realised I must've set up twenty different websites for myself over the years and never kept to one for more than a month: I either got bored or just forgot. So here's my pledge: I'm going to keep this blog for one year with at least one update a week (unless something major comes up). If I'm still interested in a year I may continue this or I might just shut it down. We'll see. Of course, this won't always be easy- my sister is like Mary Poppins on steroids. Magic steroids. If she put her mind to it, she could swim the atlantic ocean in under an evening. And, her being her (yeah that makes sense), she'd decided to put this unnatural determination into her schoolwork: she wants to be a vet, and so got five As at AS level. But this means that my parents have started to wonder why yours truly isn't a genius (is that even how you spell genius??) and so have said I need study rotor (yet again, spelling?), meaning I'll have even less time than before and will become a mindless drone.
Oh well, I don't know if anyone will read this, but meh, now anyone who does will know the deal.
See ya when next I update!
