Start of Something New

So. I'm going to put it out there from the very start: this is most certainly not something I do very often, this blog thing. I remember when I used to update Xanga every single day, but those were middle school and freshman year days =) Eventually, there was no one reading it anymore, school kept getting in the way, life got too busy, and it was just plain old boring. So why am I doing this now?

See, I'm actually doing this for many reasons, the main one being that I need some sort of outlet to let my words and thoughts float away and out of my head. Plus, is there a better way to make sure everyone stays connected? Ok, so maybe only I'll be broadcasting my life and thoughts to the world, but that's fine with me. I figure with everyone going off to college, we need something constant in our lives, a reprieve from the real world, each finding it in their own way. Some may lose themselves in the physical challenges climbing rocks with a loved one provides, some may chose to throw themselves into the party world and live life on the edge as they are finally free of household constraints, and others may decide to exert all their effort into maintaining that ever elusive 4.0 GPA. Me? I've decided to write.

I don't know who is going to be reading this, but if you know me from somewhere, please, leave me a comment. I'd like to know you're out there, listening =) But in the end, this is for me and some of my very close friends who chose to follow me. Let me say this now: I'm very sorry for anyone I offend with anything I write here over the years. Or, hopefully years, since I don't even know how long I'll keep this up for. =D Thank you for reading my first introductory, very random post. Let the lamenting over trials and tribulations of life begin...
