My Number System

I haven't quite decided the route I want to take with this blog yet. It's new to me... and I have A LOT to say. Not necessarily to people in particular, but just to simply say it.

It could easily become a journal of sorts, blocked off from the rest of the world and allowed only into the eyes of myself, whoever owns Blogger and heaven forbid someone who sees this random link. Perhaps it could be here where I express myself with absolutely no inhibition (within reason), or maybe not. So, journal approach = option #1.

On the other hand, maybe I should write with an audience in mind. I always did want to write letters to my future husband from the perspective I hold right now. So, letters to future husband = option #2.

I also feel as though my love life really is... well, let's be honest. Kind of dull. But also quite hectic at the same time. Does that make any sense at all? Thought so. Judging by past experience, I feel people would take an interest in hearing all about by practically non-existant love life. My college roommates Leona and Cat have both seemed to follow (or was it that I just decided to tell them? hmmm...). Maybe stories about that would be actually be appealing though. We'll see. So, comments and experiences in my love life = option #3.

Although I am not that old or experienced in life, I also feel I would have an interesting take on both love in general and the world around me from such a "young age". So, trying to interpret the meaning of life and love from my inexperienced yet wise-beyond-my-years perspective = option #4. Maybe that would be too serious, though.

We all need a good little laugh every now and then, am I right? Maybe I should keep things simple and record all the funny and comical things that happen through my day. That would at least be somewhat interesting to break up all the other boring posts. So, funny comments of the day = option #5. Any option stick out to the "reader" more than another?

... Or perhaps I should just include all of the above. After all, I do like to write (in abnormally long amounts), despite the fact that I feel I like to keep things short and simple (as indicated in my previous post). You know what? I think that's the approach I wish to take. All of the above. I'll just give it all numbers so those reading (which basically means myself as long as this site remains up) to follow along. Keep in mind that although I do not show any ounce of AD/HD in my life, my writings and thought processes are just as such. So, to refresh (I am also a perfectionist and type-A as you will soon find out):

1. What happened in my day (yes, this will probably include boring details)
2. Letters to my future husband
3. My (practically non-existent) love life
4. Meaning of life and love (deeper thoughts)
5. The much-needed comedic relief

Sound like a plan? And just try and follow along as much as you can... I know what I have to say can be a bit much at times. Well, here goes... (oh, and I use ... a lot, just for the record)

Only If you're listening...

Only If You're Listening...

8 little words sum it all up... I cannot believe I have started a blog. Perhaps this is characteristic of myself, perhaps not. I suppose I could have seen this coming all along, although knowing myself I highly doubt I will be able to keep up with things. Other than a journal found near old VHS tapes recording my trials and tribulations from the depths of middle school, I do not write where others can see. And not to say anyone will subscribe to such a nonsensical publication such as this, although I would like to almost wish one person out there in the cosmic void would find something ultimately interesting about what I have to say.

Seeing as this is my first post, I don't want to simply ramble on about trivial events going on in my life. "Today, I sat in a cubicle".... interested yet? Thought so. "Life is like a box of chocolates..." might even be a step up. Shall I begin with an introduction about myself? I think that almost might be necessary. To better understand my writings now and in the future, you should begin by learning a little about myself as the author.

But first, let's just pretend I'm writing this blog on the side of a tiny café in Europe in the early morning with a French musician playing the accordion in a beret nearby. Wait, that might be too cliché. Let's just say there is French music playing, sans the beret (yes, sans is a French word that happened to apply here... see, it's practically like I am there). Oh, the view from the Seine... j'adore Paris! Hold on one moment... I need to take a sip of my café au lait. "How wonderful today is..."

Yeah, okay. Let's be real. The accordion would severely bother me. Not nearly as much as an out-of-tune violinist, but still pretty bad. Realistically, I wouldn't pay either musician a stipend for the serenade. Although I would love to listen to a little of Debussy's Clare de Lune while sipping my coffee in this imaginary café, it would not be something to sing along to while driving down the (right side of the) road in my car. In all honesty, my guilty pleasure is listening to hip hop and R&B. Who doesn't love something with a good beat and easy flow of lyrics? Furthermore, I am certainly not a morning person. Even if I were writing this in a French café, it would not be in the early morning. I don't get up before noon, so forget about it. Rather, I'm writing this closer to midnight sitting on my bed wearing my PJs. That's more like it. Boring, yes, but simple, which is precisely how I felt this first post should be written. Short and simple, just like myself.

And that's all you really need to know for starters. I'm just a girl daydreaming about a life in Europe (namely France, I watch FRIENDS with French subtitles all the time), obsessed with good music (my life revolves around it), love to take naps and sleep in late, and am short (in height) and simple (in the fact that I am very go with the flow).

Feel like you know me yet? Now I feel we can begin...
