Crazy Acquaintance

This is exciting.
I'm excited.

Putting fingers to the keys and starting a new blog is like putting the key into a new car and getting ready for a cruise about town.  It's like slipping the collar around a shaking puppy's neck.  It's like shaking hands with a total stranger and you just know something crazy's going to come out of being acquainted with them.  

There are a couple things one should know before continuing on the adventure I hope for this to become:

1. I am not great with grammar.  In fact, let's not play games here.  I might be one of the worst.  It's a shame, I know.  A crying shame.  I'm inconsistent with the mistakes that I make and I make them frequently. I think.  Commas and semicolons are two of my very good friends in the writing world so they get placed in places that could surely function well without them.  Many of my friends are very well trained and have a thorough knowledge of grammatical rules and regulations so they are frequently bothered by my free use of whatever punctuation.  So, if you are one of these people, I am sorry and I hope it doesn't distract too much from the overall goodness of the writing.
2. I am a great fan of poetry; reading and writing (incorrect usage of semicolon?).  
3. All things in, of, from, and about me are undergoing constant discoveries.  I'm what you might call a "work in progress".  But who isn't?  That's nothing new or unfamiliar to people.  I just thought you should know that I know because only good can come of knowing, you know?
4. I love lists. They help with my utter sense of indecisiveness and work wonderfully to aid my desperate procrastination.  
5. My family is a wonderful bowl of oatmeal.  You'll probably hear a lot about them.  
6. Aaaand I guess you should know that I'm a first year college student.  There is much to say about what this, but at a later time and date.  For introduction purposes, just know that this means I will be tired and on the extremes of emotions (sorrowful, excited, irate, jumping for joy), much like a pregnant woman.  For I am pregnant with the yearning for knowledge and for freedom.  I wonder when that bundle of joy will finally make it's way into my arms...

So, there is a small list of things to start us off with.  A little bit of starter wood for what will soon become a blazing fire of writing madness!!!!!

And with that I prepare to sign off and climb into my cozy sheets and worn out blankets that still smell a little bit like home.  I'm never washing them.
I leave with the greeting I received every morning from my mother as she forced me out of bed and into the world:
"rise and shine! Time to greet the day and be up&about!"
