What Blog?

Okay, sooo it has taken me quite a long time to finally get this crack-a-lackin... but here it goes... TOP TEN reasons that I am starting a blog;


1. Multiple times a day, I catch myself saying, "I should remember this!" or "I should write that down." This blog will be my sketch book/journal/notepad/memo/idea book/flat surface. Ha.

2. I think I am a pretty intelligent person. Not all of my friends would agree with that, but my mom definitely would, and I bet I could gather up a few others. None the less, I say this because I think I have finally figured out the problem here. These incredibly intelligent thoughts that run through my mind ARE legitimate! I just have a problem conveying them. So, in an attempt to solidify my confidence, I am going to try explaining my theories in text.

3. I will continue to post updates on my GINGER INVASION investigation.

4. Most forwards suck, but some are worth sharing! Luckily, my mom is a fan of the later of the two, and she usually gives me a giggle a day. Sometimes she even sends me some OHMYGODIMATWORKICANTHITTHATXFASTENOUGH e-mails. Don't worry, I'll put warnings on those :)

4. So I can feel cool when I say, "Check out my Blog" Tryin' to jump on that Technology Train.

5. Family #1: After 23 years in Lubbock, I have moved to Austin. Greatest decision I have ever made, next to picking out that Grand Champ Hamp from the litter. Leaving my family behind after all that time was so incredibly hard, and still is. With this blog, I can connect with them and show them what I am up to. Wait, is that a good idea?

6. Family #2:The friends that I grew up with are basically my sisters and brothers. Besties that I would die for, and boys that I'd kill for. It has been really hard for me to see how things are still going on without me back at home. BUT, I want them all to see how much FUN I am having here so they will come visit me.

7. Family #3: Moving to a new city is scary as shit. By some miracle, my experience with moving cities (for the first time in my life, aside from a Summer internship in Dallas where I came home every weekend) has been amazing! I am super lucky to have a large group of friends that I LOVE! We all like to party, and some of them even think I am funny. We have way too many crazy times that need to be documented. I will do that.

8. Saw a link to this chick's blog on her facebook. Clicked it. Cute. Cool. Copy.

9. Remember when you were young and writing a paper could be about anything you wanted? I know, I know, when you hear writing a paper, you cringe, but that is only because college has ruined your view of writing. *I just had an idea for a blog about all the things college can change in a person.* Where was I? OH! Writing about whatever you want is fun.

10. Some YOU TUBE videos are spectacular enough to promote.

I think I could do more, but Dave just showed up and I've already ignored him for almost an hour. So, great first day on the blog! Cool.
