the beginning

so here is this blog thing. dear god. i have asked everyone in the world what a blog is, and why anyone would ever post their journal on the internet. i don't know about you all, but anything worth writing about in my journal should stay as far away from the internet as possible. but here we are, and here we shall stay. 

here are some interesting facts about this blog:

1. I am convinced that no one in their right mind would ever read this-- except you, mom. i won't be offended if you don't, even if you told me you would. i'm not going to try to make anything interesting, i'm just going to write down what i think is interesting. so i won't at all be offended if you don't read it. to be honest, i don't read anyone's blog.

2. since we've established that no one but you will be reading this, mother, i should inform you. my journals have never, ever been about what i did that day. and i will try to the best of my ability to write about events and places and things. but i also will inevitably lapse into my usual thinky musings or rants or celebrations, and you are going to have to wade through those if you want the other stuff. just a warning for you.

3. for the rest of you, please be aware that my mother is reading this. dont post any responses that you wouldnt want her to read. email me if necessary-- that's totally fine-- but honestly, if you have something to say that my mother can't read, i probably wouldn't appreciate it either.

4. i don't like capital letters. please don't correct my grammar, or i'll have to throw my AP Language scores at you.

5. and, finally, thank you for reading this. i appreciate that you care enough about my life to spend your time reading about it. plus, it'll be supercool when i get back and we have inside jokes simply because you're the only person in the room who read and commented. should be fun :)

the first blog is on the way! let's get it awwwnnn.
