Regarding Blink

Some call me wise but those who know me better tend to avoid me. And at this moment in time I should be revising for an exam. Because I do history at university. But the Chartists can wait; they have been doing so for 200 years.

I'm 19 and my favourite novel is probably Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms" (especially the last line - always read the last line first, except in Agatha Christie books). I love travelling and still like to write, even if I lack both talent and energy to do it properly.

I live in Birmingham/Oxford in the UK but I wish I lived in Middle-Earth (hence the photo - taken in Skye if you care).

Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from death, but not himself.
