My first official wordpress blog post. Hmm…

Let me first start with the following: I’m not only freshly pressed (figuratively speaking), but I’m what you would consider a newbie to this vast, and nauseatingly GINORMOUS  world of blogging.

No gimmicks here, however.  So take heart, my precious (and, I’m sure, only) reader.  I will make every effort to make my blogs interesting, informative, and above all…TRUE.

I’ve never been quite too keen with cover-ups, or playing  the supposed “social game.”

I dip into the deep end, and I wallow in it…for far too long, I know.

But I can skip and trot across just as briskly.

In other words…predictable, I (unfortunately for my bf, who will soon be my ball and chain) am not.

So, read along. Follow my life.  It’s up’s, down’s, family shenanigans, career trevails…in essence, my personal journey, and feel free to add your own two cents on the topic (but do so kindly…thin skinned, I am).

I will cover a lot of terrain, and no topic will be off limits.

But I will try to stick to one (or three) topics at a time.  As I’m sure you notice in your own personal journey, life seems to happen in phases.  And if you’re OCD (figuratively) like I am, you tend to fixate on one (or 4) particular things in your life.  So as a preview, here’s what I will cover:

• Losing weight: I am overweight/obese/fat/lard face/what have you.  I’ve been so since I was born…until, well…now, or in the near future (law of attraction anyone?)  It’s the first topic, because it’s had the most impact on me…naturally.
• Vegan Conversion: Yes…I am actually doing it.  But I’m not doing the whole kick-the-meat-habit-over-night routine.  Oh HELLO NO! I’m older, wiser…and well, I actually want to do this for the rest of my life.  Do I care about the animals? Umm…I’ll lie and say yes.  In truth, I’m doing it for other reasons…
• Mac Conversion: heh…’nough said. Geeky? Yes. Uber? YES. Reasons? Worth its own blog post for sure.
• Long Distance Relationships: Yep, I’m in one. Yes, it sucks. I miss him…all the time.  But an 8 year friendship turned relationship isn’t something you let go of too easily.  But I will be honest…I most likely will not be writing at length about this.  Too personal, you may ask? Yes and no.  I will say this, however: conflict begets writing (my line…you can quote me :-P), and frankly, with him, there isn’t anything worth writing about, other than lovely (boring) posts about how we resolve conflicts.  Do you really want to read that? I didn’t think so 😉
• Science: My life revolves around it. Literally.  It’s my one aspiration, and inspiration in life.  And well…more on that later.
• Family: Dysfunctional, but they’re all I’ve got.  Sound familiar? Posts riddled with them.  Epiphanies, etc.

I’ll run the gamut when it comes to topics, but I will try to maintain a sense of continuity.  Hopefully no one will need to jigsaw the peices together to make a coherent picture of my life, but if I can encapsulate my life in that chosen topic for my blog, then I’ve done my job as a amateur blogger looking to express herself 🙂
