Getting Started

I've never been interested in blogging. In fact, I thought it a bit silly, vain and wasteful of time better spent elsewhere. Last year, when I was forced to start a blog for a social media class, I grudgingly began writing, pulling my hair to try to stay true to my foodie-themed posts. "Stay on theme, get found, increase your SEO," said my professor. Well, that's just no fun, so as soon as the assignment was completed I abandoned my little "half-assed" (as my mother would say) blog.

Now, things have changed. I'm a recent grad with ample time, and little to challenge me at my current job. In fact, I'm bored, very bored. And, while reading other people's blogs, I've found blogging to actually be fun if it's done right. Why NOT blog about life today--tomorrow's memories? Why not blog about these things, so I can remember these memories and keep in touch with people? (I'm sorry, Twitter and Facebook updates just don't quite measure up:). Also, I miss writing, and this is the perfect remedy. So here I go. I will blog about everything and anything that suits my fancy, and in the process, I'll try to be a little bit interesting--I don't want any sagging eyes!:)
