Human Dictionary

This is a shout out to my friend who has this crazy idea that I am a substitute for a dictionary. We will be sitting together doing homework and she will ask "Hey, English major, what's a better way to say {insert phrase}?" She makes me feel very smart because no matter what I say, she gets really excited. It's a win win situation.

National Geographic Picture

I was introduced to this Stumble Upon website that I have formed a love/hate relationship with. It is a cool website (in moderation) that shows me videos/articles/photos that it thinks I would be interested in according to a massive survey that filled out at the start. While this website has the power to be an enormous time waster, I have read and seen some interesting stuff. I found a lot of these nature photos there and though I would share them. Here is one of my favorites:

The caption reads that it is a picture of the Bering Sea. Will have to add that on my growing list of places I want to go

Here We Go.....

This first post is just as much for me and for everyone (if anyone) who is reading this. When I write, I discover my true intention and point at the end rather at the beginning where it should be. So, if you are not interested in my motivations for starting this blog, stop reading. No hard feelings, I promise.
This is my first attempt at keeping a blog. I have made different blogs but never with the intention of writing in them. I want to write more....I keep saying that I love to write and that's what I want to do with my life but every time I write something, I decide it's crap. Solution? Write more, get my ideas and thoughts out there, and maybe (fingers crossed) something amazing will happen....or at least something above average....
    
     So what to write about? I have discovered you can't write well unless you want to. So I am not going to falsely resolve myself to write in this once a week. When something makes me happy, sad, angry, amused, etc, I will write it down...For all I know this could be a total bust: this may be my first and only entry...but I would like to think that I have things to say and I hope there are people out there who are willing to listen.
