Naps & Bus Rides

Oh. My. Goodness.

Is the weather hot where you are? Because I swear I almost turned into a human barbecue today! Stuffy and humid weather made my hair frizzy beyond belief! Not to mention the fact that I kept falling asleep every 3.7 seconds. In short, the weather stinks. I hate hate hate it! I actually miss winter.. :-( But anywho..

So while coming home on the bus today, I think I may have figured out a tradition for myself in this topsy-turvy world of blogging. I decided to write about one person, once a week. Doesn't sound too interesting, does it? Well..

Worry not!

This person I plan to write about will not be someone in my life. It will be a stranger. As I've said before, I'm just another face lost in the sea of people, and although this blog is about me, I want to first give an idea of the way I write. Before I begin to share my story, I would want to know if anyone out there is reading it at all. So I want to make this new tradition of mine a little exciting. Picking someone off the street challenges my writing skills a lot more, than writing about someone I know, don't you think?

So as of now, let this tradition begin!

Oh wait, before I begin, I should make it known that I'm crazy about patterns & routines. I like structure. But that doesn't mean I'm boring! *giggle* I feel the need to specify that I only like structure in regards to certain things, not always. But in this case, I'm thinking I should do this "Post About A Stranger" every Wednesday. I think that will make Hump Day a little more exciting, no?

So in honor of beginning my new tradition, I will write this post for you all tomorrow. On a more excited note: I finish work in 4 days! Not looking forward to the "unemployed" part, but could definitely use a little me-time at home :-)

Until tomorrow then!

Hasta la-buh bye!

A New Journey

So.
I've finally done it.
I've come over to the Dark Side..
And created a blog. :-)

My inspiration?

Many things. To begin with, 3 special people. I need not name names, they know who they are. And a movie - Julie & Julia. (Which was surprisingly good!)

My reason?

The inevitable, undeniable and absolutely-unasked-for kind of events that seem to occur in life.

My ambition?

It is a work-in-progress.



Do I know why I have started writing me a blog? Absolutely not. But I will write. This may be a start of something new that could turn into something that changes the world. Or, this could be another failed attempt at me keeping a diary. Regardless, I will write. Relentlessly, faithfully, and for once, without giving up.

So to answer the biggest unasked question: no, I don't have a lot of time on my hands. Nor do I not have a life. I'm just another human being.

There are some things in life, that one wants to share, but can't. I find myself feeling a strange comfort knowing that by "blogging" about these things, someone behind the screen knows my story. Someone who will just read it, but may not question it. (Note: the word may, but as Fred & George Weasley say, "Ask us no questions, and we'll tell you no lies." :-P)

In any case, a lot of quick thought has gone into the title of my blog. My posts will be long, because I like to talk. A lot. In this case, write. I'm just not a "condensed and concise" kind of person. I understand that I may have lost more than just a handful of readers at this point *giggle*. But anywho, read only if you wish to.

So here's my opinion about commenting on blogs. Obviously you all know that I can moderate comments on my blog. So if you don't have anything decent to say, please don't say anything at all. Stress on the word decent. I like constructive criticism, not spam. That is not welcome here.

What will I do in this blog of mine? I will share. 

What is it I will share? - I know not! But when I do, I hope it is worth a read.

Let the blogging begin!
