Why am I starting a blog? It seems to be the cool thing to do these days...or else the totally "not cool" thing to do, depending on who's opinion is being graciously given at the time. But I'm deciding to think it's cool, because I want to start a blog, and I like to be cool.
AND...I like to write! And my English teacher mother is always telling me, "Amy, you know that time you killed a cockroach with a broom in your bathroom in Africa? Please write a creative essay about it!" Or, "You're bored? Write me a paragraph about when the espresso machine almost killed you." Sometimes I say, "Ok Mom" and I write, but usually I don't have the motivation or a suitable audience to read it, so I don't write. I like having an audience. But it also scares me to death...weird...
But here I am in another valley of inactivity after the adventure I had this year living and working in North Africa. I don't have a job...yet...(interviewing tonight!) and I'm often at home, left to do a lot of the one thing I do too much of: think.
What greater way to do something with my thoughts and my locked-away creativity than to write about everything in a blog?! So here I go. :) Please enjoy. There is more to come.
