day 1

this is the birth of my blog. after weeks of mental prep and self thought, hours of procrastination, and many failed attempts at a witty blog name and bi-line (which is still, and probably will always be a work in progress,) i have given in and published, therefore commited to, a blog.

i am not sure why i have gotten such cold feet regarding a blog, nor do i know what i plan to write about...but what i do know is that i am always very jealous of people who blog, and so i plan to become a blogger. right here. right now.

so, before i jump into this random, but slightly interesting blog of mine, i found it fitting to share some random, but slightly interesting facts about myself to get this ball rolling...and here they are.

1. I dance, all the time, everywhere.
2. I believe it should be socially acceptable to wear pajamas everywhere, including work and in bars.
3. I never have, or will, color my hair
4. I wish I was a combo of Cameron Diaz, Reese Witherspoon, and Kate Hudson (wardrobes included)
5. I love crime investigation shows (ex: csi, law and order, ncis) and think the perfect murder involves an icicle (sick, i know)
6. if I could eat one thing for the rest of my life it would be goldfish and diet coke.

9. I have, and will always love my church on Christmas eve
10. I am always cold.

22. i love good bloody marys and extra dirty vodka martinis
23. I love driving with the windows down, even if its cold
24. I love the feeling of sand between my toes, but not the feeling of not being able to get it off of you.
25. I love surprises.
26. i analyze people, and overanalyze people
27. im allergic to pine nuts
28. i am scared to sleep with socks on

33. i would do almost anything to help a friend

So, before I begin this self reflective, rambling, but hopefully a bit funny adventure, I would like to express a big beforehand "thank you" to those who are reading this (if there are any at all) for forgiving me in my inability to transcribe my verbal wittiness onto paper, or any other written medium for that matter. I hope that your humor and interests will align with mine, and you will be intrigued by this fun, educated 20-something who needs something to do besides drink, dance, and laugh with friends.
