so i'm going to give this whole blog thing a try. i know a lot of people that do blogs and after realizing that i enjoy reading about other people (some more than others of course!), i thought (rather self-centeredly) someone might actually want to read about me. i'm not exactly sure why, but they might! lol

those of you who knew me back in college know that i did livejournal for maybe a year and then it kind of fell through. this one will be a better attempt though! plus, even if no one else is interested in reading it, at least it's something i will be able to look back on when i'm 65 :)

before i get this started, i would like to say that i think the word "blog" is a word some man made up because "journal" and "diary" sounded too girly. i got news for ya...a blog IS a journal now matter how it's justified. period.

things you should/should not expect from my blog:

1. i never type in caps..sometimes, i even get too lazy to use correct grammar and apostrophes (see what i mean??) you will likely see a lot of this > ........ that's how a lot of people type scripts for their stories in broadcast...no commas, it simply means a pause. basically after almost two years in news, it's become a bad habit that i just can't seem to break.

2. don't expect to find me writing about the meaning of life because i won't. i will not be talking about things that are overly personal or things that have to do with my personal relationships.

3. you can expect me to type my posts in various shades of pink...it is my favorite color after all!

3. you can expect to read about my day and what i'm going through..and knowing me, i'm sure a lot of it is bound to be random, slightly funny, and typical stuff that you might expect from me (for example this weekend, i dropped a box of sushi in the lobby of the nicest hotel in Roanoke...anyone even remotely surprised about? didn't think so...i'll put it this way, if i HADNT dropped the box of sushi, THAT would have been the real shocker! lol)

well, thanks for reading this...and i hope i wont bore you all too much :)
