I shall make my introductory blog brief, as I am currently late for Uni. One could argue that I can just do this when I get home later, but I'm not fond of logistics and I dig procrastination.
My name is Cei, I am 21 years old (22 in ten days - I feel like a kid for counting down to my birthday, but what the hell. It's exciting until you hit forty.), currently undertaking a Masters in film and trying to forge out some kind of career as a television and film scriptwriter. Which really is as easy as it sounds.
I am currently unemployed, living well under the poverty line, renting a house I can't really afford and have not the option of moving back in with my parents. I regularly receive comments from wonderful people about how I must love the dole bludging lifestyle (Yes. Humiliation is fun!) which incites a certain need to stab them up.
My contributions to this blog will in all likelyhood be frequent and rambling. And now, I must dress in green at the insistence of an Irish lady at Uni (insistence here reading 'on pain of death') and bullshit my way through two in class presentations, neither of which I have written yet.
Let's kick it off, blog style!

Welcome!
Welcome to Viciens Tricies, a collaborative blog that was only just set up, so currently only has one author, yours truly. I'd best introduce myself, I suppose.
Name's Ashleigh. I'm a twenty year old Australian university student, in my third year. As well as studying here, I'm the current president of the uni's historical re-enactment society. Ironically, I only joined the club as a passing fancy because there wasn't an archery club and it was the closest thing I could find. Two years later, here I am.
Due to re-enactment, I've become an apprentice armourer. From there, I've expanded into making jewellery. It's certainly an interesting and fun hobby, albeit sometimes extremely frustrating. The guy I'm apprenticing under and myself both say that if you're not inventing new swear words while knitting maille, then you're not doing it right. Take from that what you will.
That's enough about me. Time to take some time to lay out the purpose of this blog.
As the title suggests, it's a collaboration of the lives of who-knows-how-many 19-30 year olds from all over the world. We will share our thoughts and memories, our beliefs and whatever else may spring to mind.
This is, in a sense, a companion blog to "The Cottonheaded Ninnymuggins of Sesame Street", whose URL can be found in the title of this blog. Cottons is a collaboration of people aged 18 and under. This is the next step up, as it were - a collaboration of people between the ages of nineteen and thirty.
By following and reading both blogs, we (or at least I) hope that it will be an interesting way to see the differences between the two age groups. Not only in experiences, but in ways of thinking, hopes and dreams, what is and isn't important in their/our lives. It's also a way for the people in this age group to reflect on times past, and those in Cottons to see what they may be like - or up against - in the future.
By the way - unlike Cottons, I won't be posting any guidelines. I like to think that by the age of nineteen, people have enough sense that they aren't necessary.
So, dear audience (or lack thereof, as the case may be), welcome. I hope you enjoy your time here.
