INTRODUCTION
Hello everyone. My name is Eireen (actually it's Eirini in Greek, but I'd simply go along with the Irish name :) ), I'm 20 and a student of Linguistics. I used to have another blog in Wordpress, but after running it for 3 years and a half, I thought I had to call it quits, because I couldn't handle with it anymore. I decided to start a new blog here right from the beginning.
The reason why I started this was my urge to tell stories. Any kind of stories concerning music, poetry, languages, films, nature, science, fantasy, philosophy, history, folklore, and storytelling itself. I use the term "story", as I love it and I also adore narrating everything. I sort of live in my own world, imagining situations and I do that when I'm simply listening to music and walking. I listen to lots of kinds of music, but most of all I prefer soundtrack, Celtic, Ethnic, Psychedelic Rock. When I was a teen I was really hooked on Metal. I thought Doom and Black Metal was a pure escapism for me. Now I'm not keen on that stuff in such extent, but I still love Power Metal. Nightwish is my favourite band.
I usually listen to music either at home or when walking on my own. I like walking alone. I come from Cefalonia, an island located in Greece and although I don't live there, I visit the island more than once a year. Moreover I spend about 2 months every summer. Cefalonia is full of fields, woods and really cool places if you don't want to see anybody. I rarely invite friends there and when I do, I show them this beauty that I also find enchanting. And yes, I think I'm really lucky as a person, because University in Athens is also located near the mountain. There are trees everywhere and I've also found my little "nest" in a path near School of Biology. I've written many stories there and even enjoyed taking a nap under a tree.
As you can see, I'm not much of a people's person. I enjoy being alone writing stories more than going out for a drink with a good friend. Of course, I go out with friends quite often, but most of the time I only need my own solitude. I don't hate people or something and I'm not even scared of them. But I have a whole world acting in my head, like a cinema show, and I know that others don't fit there. The creator of this is only me and nobody else, so it's really difficult for them to understand. I don't blame anyone for this, as everyone has their own thoughts. And yes, I do like my world. It's much better than struggling with real life's problems.
On the other hand, I enjoy life as well. It's not that I only live in my own microcosmos and don't give a fuck about what's going on. Of course, I get pissed off with shitty politics, or financial crisis, wars etc. and I also have a big eye for science. I'm studying a science afterall. But telling a good story is what I live for and that's how I can achieve it: I open my mind's door and escape. This is my motto. And sometimes people are really hard to understand that. Because I strongly believe that this planet has no feelings, at least to some extent. People just care only about themselves and how they are going to survive. This is something I absolutely hate and also a message I'd like to give to people.
And in case you were wondering, why I chose this name for my blog....well the Cinema Soul is me and everyone else who feels exactly like me. It has to do with the fact that I love films as much as hell and even watch a film or two every day. But Cinema Soul has a deeper meaning too. It's related to the fact that "I open my mind's door and escape". And there's a whole show playing in my head. That's what I do. I'm the director of an imaginary cinema show.
So now, I have to stop talking about myself and I'll go to the details of this blog. I said I was going to post any kind of stories, from personal to social ones. From escapism to real life problems. Simply ANYTHING, and I simply do that, as I can't tell about them to my friends and folks. People don't seem to understand when one is just talking to them.
And through this I hope you get a piece of me and my little world.

I really like your idea. It's good to have a "novel" and write your thoughts. I was thinking about creating one. Well, i think that everyone wants to be alone sometime and think while he finds solitude and silence. Even people who are married wants to have their own time. As you said a place close to nature (such as a forest) will help you. And to be honest the fact that you want to be alone with the nature is completely normal. Life in the city is boring lol. I completely understand your thoughts and i hope you keep your blog alive. :)
