R.I.P Nelson Mandela

Most of you won't know this, it happened 10 minutes ago, at least that was when it appeared in BBC news. Nelson Mandela is dead. I don't know why, but I have this weird feeling like I've lost someone, he was an inspiration to me, and to the world.He fought for freedom in a world of prejudice. Though I do not agree with some of his earlier methods, he forgave those who has imprisoned him, which I...

How did you find Mibba?

Come on, it's not exactly the thing you type into google randomly!!! The way I found this site was pretty random, I would love to know how everyone else did!I wanted to enter Foyles Young Poet of the Year 2013, so I checked out all the winners from 2012. One of them was around my age, so I looked at hers and it was really good. In the comments section at the bottom, someone wrote: "I would love to...

Write for yourself

Please, I implore every Mibbian that reads this, write for yourself. I've seen a lot of blogs about what people don't like in stories and I 100% accept their opinion, but don't let this change you. Maybe you have learnt a lesson from these blogs, that's amazing, that's why they were made. But don't change the way you write, or what you write, to please other people.Maybe you write for an obscure...

Why is it so hard to be accepting?

This is kind of inspired by Hina's blog about cross dressing xxxI love the idea of living in a society where we aren't influenced by pre existing stereotypes. There is a family who have raised their son to be who he wants to be. They have told him that he is a boy, but he doesn't conform to what we see as 'right'.He like to wear dresses and play with cars. He loves playing outside and he likes...

Is this normal Mibba?

Today was the first day in my whole life that I have had an afternoon to myself. I'm not kidding here. My sister was at a birthday party that started at 9am, so my parents and my little brother went out to take her, and when the finally got back at 11ish (after walking the dog), they went straight back out and didn't wait for me!!!Ok, so I sit down and watch tv. There was nothing on, so I put on a...

This is going to sound crazy

This may or may not sound completely mental. Please don't judge me if it does!!!Basically, last night I has the weirdest dream, and it involved vampires, and I got bitten by one (I told you it was a bit weird). Anyway, the rest of the dream was me going nuts, almost drinking blood and nasty stuff like that, but when the dream vampire 'bit' me, I could feel it. I can vividly remember the feeling....

Voting

I'm not very happy because I just wrote this whole blog, but opened a new tab to check some of my facts and when I got back BOOM! It was all gone. So if my facts are wrong, it's purely because I am sick of my computer and I really REALLY don't want to write all of this again!Ok, so Russell Brand and the Newsnight presenter Jeremy Paxman had an encounter last week, where Brand described the...

I'm officially back!

Ok, so in the past few weeks I have been the definition of a silent reader, which I am really ashamed of. I've been on Mibba every day, just reading blogs, seldom commenting and posting on one or two forums. I haven't updated any of my stories, posted any poems or talked to some of my amazing Mibba friends. Of all that I am deeply ashamed. Plus, I've been to chicken to get caught up in all of...

NaNo confusion!

I'm either going to rewrite a current story, which has 19 beautiful subscribers that I don't want to let down, or I write a new story that I've been thinking about writing for about a year, but I'm too chicken to write it!Yeah, I'm too chicken to write a story.....It's a plot I've been thinking about for ages and I have a VERY over active imagination,...
