Well, here goes nothing. I recently wrote in my journal that I was going to start a blog. So, this is my blog. Also, the title of my blog is "Autobiography of an Unknown", which is going to be my book title - so I now have intellectual property rights on that title, right? I hope so. I like it. I guess I didn't really start this blog today for any specific reason other than the fact that today has been about taking chances and making opportunities for myself. For example, today I not only signed up for an online dating site, I also rented a violin. For those of you who don't know, or don't remember, I played violin for about a year in second grade. I have not played since; but, I recently attended a David Garrett concert and that has once again spawned my interest. I just hope I don't as much as I think I do.
Anyway, another reason why I decided to start my blog is that I'm hoping it'll become a weird inspiration to keep working on my book. In the last year I have literally written a page... though, I've thought about it... a lot. There are so many things I want to put in my book but for some reason or another I haven't put them into writing yet. I hope this blog will change that. However, I am realizing that writing a blog is a lot easier than writing a book. My book, which is going to be an autobiography, goes deeper into my life. This blog is all about what I'm thinking here and now. Like, right now I'm thinking about turtles. So, perhaps I'll write about turtles. Why am I thinking about turtles? Well, because I just watched "The Last Song" today and there were cute baby turtles in the movie.
That movie sort of bothered me though. In the end it's all about love and the mistakes people make, but I didn't like how it all came together. Plus, the love story felt really false... but perhaps that's because I've become cynical and jaded when it comes to romance... perhaps joining an online dating site wasn't my best idea....
Whatever. Moving on. Okay, now I hear the Jeopardy music in my head because I don't know what to talk about... I'm over-thinking about my blog... imagine that. Maybe I should tell a funny story. Whenever my best friend, Kathryn, writes a mass e-mail she always tells a funny story to lighten the mood. (She has to write mass e-mails cause she lives in New Zealand and most of her friends and family are Stateside - or in Canada.) So yeah... funny story... hmm... okay, I've got nothing....
When I first thought about starting my blog, I figured it would just be an online journal that people could read, so I figured I would just re-type my entries from the journal I started this year and let that be that. But now that I have started my blog, I don't really feel like informing you all about the beginning of my year and my reflections of last year (which was basically what my journal has been about up until now - I literally went over my 2010 Intentions List and reflected on them one by one). This should be a new start, I'm not going to think about the past - if you want that part of me, you'll have to read my book, I guess.
Okay - so, let's look to the future. As of right now, February 18, 2011 at 10:30 p.m. CST, I currently do not have any intentions on my 2011 Intentions List other than to start a blog and work on writing my book. With that being said, I have started my blog and I'm now going to go work on my book.
So. This is me. This is who I am. I'm controlled and unorganized with my thoughts but because of that I'm never bored. I hope if you have read this or decide to read my blog you enjoy it for what it is. It's just me... and sometimes my cats. (Yes, I'm that girl.)
Hey Ash- I applaud you for beginning. I think that is the hardest part. The next hardest part is continuing. :) I am very curious to hear what your 2010 intentions list beholds... :) In response to your feeling jaded in romance, you are too young to feel this way. You are not legally allowed to feel this way unless you are 30 yoa and have never been on a date.... ever. Therefore, you don't qualify to legally experience these feelings. What out for the romance police!! hehe
