I know what you're thinking. Who the hell do you think you are? Frankly, I'm just a regular 25 year-old American woman with her own opinions. What are you writing about? Oh, you know, just life in general. I think my life is pretty damn funny, and I'm hoping you will too. Actually, I don't really care what you think. Why are you writing? I was inspired by Sloane Crosley. After reading her book of essays, I Was Told There'd Be Cake, I thought to myself "Hey, this sounds a lot like my life... and I can totally write stuff like this!" So here it is.
No, I don't think I'm as good as Sloane. She is a much better and more experienced writer. She is also a lot prettier than I am. (Then again, my mother always said beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.) I'm just writing this blog for my own shits and giggles. If anyone reads it and actually thinks it's funny, even better.
I'm going to spare you the blah blah background information about myself. I know that if you take the time to read and keep up with my posts, you will get to know me better than most people in my life. You will know me so well, in fact, that you may feel as if we've known each other for ages. Or that we knew each other in a former life. Or that we are soul-mates and by writing this blog I am actually reaching out to you, confessing my love.... in which case you should pick up the phone and call a psychologist. Immediately. I will press charges if you get weird on me. (It's happened before.)
Thank you and welcome to my world of laughter and lunacy.
