In the beginning...
Feel free to listen to the highly repetitive song that doesn't relate at all to this post except for the title while you read.
I once posted a Facebook status that said: "Desperately trying to avoid the cliche." 14 people liked it. Now here I sit, a 19 year old Mormon girl from a big family, returned from 3 semesters at BYU-Idaho (where I dated and did crafts and had dessert parties every Sunday, and oh my heck I just loooved school and church and my roommates!...but seriously, I did.) As I sit here, it is in all honesty a dark and stormy night out, and I tossed and turned in my bed for hours before getting up to write this post. So basically I'm the epitome of cliche... So much for that status!
Here's the deal, Blogland. I love to write and I love to tell stories, but I refrained from starting a blog for simple reason of "everyone has one" or more specifically, every Mormon girl has one. And if there's anything I dislike, it's joining a crowd. In fact the phrase "Read my blog" or "I have a blog" kind of makes me nauseous. Except here I am.
Why? Because I suck at keeping a journal to record my actual experiences, as opposed to my feelings and thoughts. In reality this blog is for my own record keeping purposes, whether or not you read it is up to you. I hope to use this space as a way to get my stories and experiences out of my head and onto some form of record before I become old and crazy and forget them, so please bear with me if I tell lots of stories that are weeks or months or years out of date. The End. Or the beginning, whichever you prefer.
Whatever, you love blogs! You harass me every time I go on a no-post streak. Also, remember the first time we heard this song? It was on a road trip and we fell asleep (Ok, maybe this was just me... but I thought you were there too) and I woke up saying "is this song seriously still playing?".
