Hello no one!

So...I have decided to try blogging again. No particular reason...maybe boredom, maybe because I like reflecting on life.
But the thing is...as of right now, no one knows I have a blog besides me. So...I am writing to myself. I will post the link on face book and see how long it takes for people to find it but in the meantime I am perfectly content writing to myself.

The last blog I had was a xanga....which my last entry was 3 years ago. However, I decided to wander back on it to get some ideas of how I wanted to start writing and it really did nothing besides make me smile muchly considering the title was "Pink is a Happy Color" with a subtitle "I'm so confused."

But I thought a good way to start the new blog would be actually with a post from the old one.
Sometimes I have to miss the sophommore year. I might have have been completely naive and a little blonde but I lived life with a smile on my face.

tomorrow i'm going to ... do nothing..because i will be 20 (if i live to see tomorrow) and I will be really old

Well apparently "tomorrow came" and if I thought 20 was old...what is 23? I was so weird. I kind of miss my weirdness. When did I lose my innoncence? I mean, when did I decide it may be a good idea to grow up?...that was stupid.

In some ways I can look and see how far I have come but part of me wishes I could go back and try again.
I miss the days of singing to oranges, and having the life ambition to be a giraffe. The days when "insight" meant learning what hippopotamus was in greek and "fear" was being afraid of "the whales that lived in my waterbed." I miss the days of "big problems" that meant being out of oreos!

But hey...you can't go back but you can laugh about the memories and find the joys of life in the present.
