So, recently I have just been writing and writing! The other day I was typing on my laptop and realized that I had filled up 14pgs of 11pt font typing single space!!! Yeah, that is really freakin' pathetic!
I guess that this whole thing started though when I was in Africa and having to (or making myself) write in a journal every day. I was doing it there mainly because I didn't want to loose any of the experience in my memory! Anyone who has ever journaled knows that it is so much fun to look back and read about what you were doing and thinking and feeling. I love it anyway, and had always wished that I could do it more. (It always sounded like something that I would do anyway, because I love different handwriting and I really like being introverted, and I think a LOT!) But I never really had been able to get into actually writing on a long term basis. I was kinda weird, cause sometimes I could do it very well, and others I would just sit there with pen posed mid-air and nothing would come...
So, needless to say this changed while I was in Africa... (gosh I feel like every-other sentence that comes out of my mouth these days has "Africa" in it!! Consider this your blanket apology for the rest of the references!) Anyway, this changed. First of all because I didn't know a whole lot of the people that I was around to start out with... so like any good introvert I started writing up a storm in my diary that I had purchased for exactly this purpose! Yeah, fun... well, unfortunately post returning to the good ol' USofA and actually settling into real ordinary everyday life I now find myself with the insane urge to write... about pretty much everything! It is by far one of the most insatiable urges I have ever experienced.
Hence, this blog being created!
