With every Beginning...

A couple of things upfront... I'm incredibly random and I expect this blog to show that.  It'll either get better as I keep at this... or I'll get bored and give up and we'll just never make sense of the things I've written. =)

A few things about me (since it's my blog and it's all about ME)... I'm a passionate person, I'm overly honest and trusting, eternally an optimist, outgoing, a spontaneous planner, incredibly quirky... and we'll call those the good things.  Oh!  And clearly I'm Kind of a Bad Ash...

To kick this off I'll probably just talk about what I do... I need more hobbies, so I guess this gets added to that list... but I'm looking for more stuff to fill my time with.  People ask what I like to do and it's usually, "ummm run around with friends and watch movies," which are both true, but not a true "hobby."  So I'm going to work on that.

I do spend a lot of time with friends, "The Group" is literally (as literal as it can be) my second family... weekends are spent eating dinner, seeing movies and other random activities.  And by random I mean like dodgeball or automatic writing. =)  Been a while for both... but that's what I mean by random.  We also spend a lot of time talking in parking lots... less now than back in high school... we're getting old!  And our numbers are dwindling... the 20-30 strong is now a solid group of 10-ish?  Just depends on the day.

DVR changed my life... I watch way too many tv shows.  So many (some overlap) that I have recordings on the second DVR in the basement.  Oops. =)  I love movies.  I love quotes from movies and songs.  I like to sing as loudly as I possibly can in the car with the windows down.  I'm a big fan of penguins...

So on a normal, "what happened today" ... I came home to find that they're building a road behind my house.  I'm bummed 'cus it was just corn... now it'll be houses in another year or two.  Oh well, bring on the privacy fence.  And my friends can't tease me about the "Children of the Corn" kids coming to get me... Halloween just got that much less creepy! 

That's all I've got for now... let's see how this thing goes!
