Welcome! I love blogs. I love to spend my free time reading, love dissecting and learning from different writing styles, and especially love eavesdropping on other people's lives. I also love writing--letters, school papers, even empirical articles. And let me tell you, this makes my life a lot easier since I have been forced to write a LOT of papers for this degree thing I'm pursuing.
I've been mildly contemplating starting a blog of my own for a long time now, pretty much ever since I found out there was such a thing as a "blog." I got a taste of it while writing posts on caringbridge.org, but since that ended, I have run into a huge obstacle...My Life Is Not Very Interesting. This week, however, I had two revelations.
1. In six months and fifteen days, I will turn THIRTY. Now, I am fully aware of what year it is, what month it is, usually even what day it is. Somehow, though, I had shoved this fun piece of info. way back in my brain a long time ago and just. ignored. it. Maybe to avoid outright panic, or in an effort to save my liver from wallowing in several glasses (bottles) of wine. Anyway, it hit me the other day with such a start that I sat up in bed at 7:00am...like someone just told me for the first time that I have a 30th birthday approaching.
2. Since I think my life is so uninteresting, wouldn't assigning myself to write about my life be fantastic incentive to make it more interesting? So, in an attempt to put the spark back in my own life, I have decided to document the last six months of my twenties. And to make it worth writing about!
