A First Time for Everything

So this is the very fist time I have tried this site. I created an account a while back so that I could comment on Marni's blog, but until now, I've never actually done much with it.

I've never considered myself a "blogger", but I've contemplated the idea for a while. I'd love to promise that I'll blog all the time, but that would be a big fat lie.

Shit, I could never even keep a diary as a kid.

A few things I can promise:

• I'm a very open person. I won't go making people uncomfortable by talking about things they wouldn't want me to, but I'll always be right out there with the things that affect me personally.

• I WILL use this space to rant from time to time. As a full time graduate student, part time worker and full time girlfriend, life is hard and lovely, all at the same time. I'm not a negative person, but sometimes, this may be my space to process and work through some of it.

• I WILL not use chat speak. I hate chat speak. I'll admit that I have been known to throw out a few LOL's from time to time, but I can't stand people who write like they are trying to explain how to disassemble a bomb in 15 words or less.

Well, I suppose that is it. Stay tuned:)
