Hello, Blogspot!

Hello, Blogspot.
I have reluctantly left my xanga site of 4 years. I needed a blogging area that looked a little snazzier. So blogspot, I hope we will work together. In the coming posts I will get to know you, so it's only fair that I tell you a little about me.

My interests include writing little poems, attending informational functions, conversations with kindly humans, drawing pictures, creating delicious baked goods, dancing, googling random questions, hiking, libraries, speaking spanish, and finding amusement in the awkward nature of life.

I currently work at a large corporate office in a department called Business Development. My duties largely include developing company business. This entails attending large functions where I am paid to smile while eating wilted salads and hideous entrees. I will miss this when I return to college in the fall.

For the third year in a row I will contine to pay exorbitant amounts of money to attend a college out of state. But since I am also paid an extortionate hourly wage to eat wilted salads and prepare mass mailings all summer long, I have managed to secure a comfortable life style. Well...not really. I have enough money to pay for school and maybe buy a pair of new shoes before I go. If they are on sale. At Wal-mart.

I am at the uncomfortable age of 20. My friends go out and party in the bars and clubs every weekend and most weeknights. I complain that they lack the creativity to plan non-bar events (i.e. something I could attend), but to be honest... if I were 21, that is likely what I would be up to. So whatever. House parties and lunch dates and good books and movies. Enough to keep anyone busy. But 20 is an awkward age, especially when most of your friends are older than you.

Well, gosling blogspot, we shall see. Nobody knows that you exist except for me. And we may just keep it that way.
