Happy Birthday, Blog!!

Yes. Today is the first birthday of my blog. I made a cake and everything. And, as a present, I'm going to post something that's purely me: no fiction, literature, poetry, whatever. Just me blabbering. But wait! Before you run away screaming at the idea of just reading my craziness, hear me out. I promise it won't be too crazy. Maybe it'll even be a little interesting. MAYBE, you'll even enjoy it. :O

Okay, maybe that's pushing it, but hey! It kept you here, didn't it?

So. Are you ready to take a journey into my mind, to explore my thoughts? No? Too bad.

Alright, so my first and foremost thought that has been on my mind lately is my new Creative Writing class. Ah, so exciting, let's jump up and down with joy! Okay, calm down, you can stop now. Anyway, throughout the course of this semester, we will be writing two 5-8 pages short stories, at least 5 poems, a one-act play, and we need to keep a journal. Pretty cool, huh? Yeah, I thought so, too. Best part is the Professor is pretty awesome. And by pretty awesome, I mean TOTALLY AWESOME! (Did you think of AVPM, too, when you read that? ;D) I'm a little scared though. I mean, hey, I know I'm nothing special; I hold no allusions as to my ability as a writer. But what if everybody really hates what I write. I mean, really, really hates it? Eh, whatever. I'll survive. I'm just hoping that this class will show me what I'm capable of and if I actually do have any talent. I'll let you know at the end of the semester.

Second thought: Remember that journal I mentioned in my previous thought? Well, we can write WHATEVER we want in it, as long as we're writing something, and we turn it into my professor before the semester ends. He doesn't read it, just flips through it to make sure we did the assignment. I obviously won't use it as a diary, since my professor will be looking at it (Ha, can you imagine? Dear Diary, me and JimBobJoe kissed today! It was, like, so cool. Except his lips were slimy.) but I had a really cool idea for what to write instead. I have this WordSmart book that I use to help me study for the SAT, and they give you big words and definitions and you write a sentence with it and memorize it and blah, blah, blah. But since that is just so boring and gross, I decided to have a 'Word of the Day' in my journal, write its definition, and then write whatever's on my mind (a censored version, of course), making sure I use that word AT LEAST ONCE. Brilliant, right? Okay, maybe not that brilliant, but I still think it's a cool idea :)

Third thought: AHHHHHHHHHHH, I might see my cousin, Kaitlyn, when I go to my Aunt's house on Saturday and we'll eat SUSHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fourth thought: I wonder if anyone else finds this post funny? I think it's pretty witty...

Fifth thought: My...stomach...hurts...STUPID RAGING HORMONES!!!

Sixth thought: I really should stop procrastinating and just shower already...*GASP!* Oh, no! I admitted it! I'm really using this post as a form of procrastination hidden under the guise as a birthday present for my blog! *Sigh.* Fine. I know what you're all thinking. You're thinking, "Geez, you stupid and incredibly silly girl, just go shower and stop being a nincompoop." And you're right, of course.

...But I really don't want to move from my comfortable position on the bed...

Oh, well here's an idea! I'll end this post and go back to sleep, and just pretend that I showered. You guys will never be the wiser ;)
