beginnings.

i am now 26. that makes me officially a grown-up. past the age when anyone under 97 will consider me a "kid". that makes my adolescent problems... well, not so adolescent anymore, huh?

i can't quite believe that i was 16 ten whole years ago. in some ways, i'd really like to go back and do it all over. but i don't let myself think that way for a few different reasons. i've always hated being treated as a child. i might not be completely satisfied with my life as it is right now, and i might want to change a few things, but i do like knowing the things i've learned along the way, and i am glad i've met a few people.

this is my third attempt at blogging. i want an outlet, a place to vent, a place to be funny. and so i will make this promise to myself: i will post something as often as humanly possible. even if it's just a picture, or just one word, or i have nothing to say.

i have a few disclaimers:

disclaimer #1: i'm fairly new to the blogging world. i'll do my best to follow blog etiquette, but if i slip up and don't correctly link to someone or reference my sources or whatever, please (kindly) let me know. i'm not trying to create enemies or steal anyone's creativity.

disclaimer #2: i might be rude. i might swear, or just be generally unladylike. i am sorry, but not so sorry that i'll stop. please forgive me.

disclaimer #3: i apologize in advance if anything i say offends you. but once again, not so sorry that i'll change my opinions.

third time's the charm, eh?
