Introducing: The History of Amanda's Adventures in Adulthood

I remember when I was in 6th grade, and how much I loved to write in my journal every day. Quite often, I wrote more than once in a single day. It's not as if I had a whole lot going on in my life that made me say, "Yes! I must write this down so that my grandchildren can see that I was made of awesome!" No, it would have been, "Ok, so how much do I want my grandchildren to know about my multiple crushes on slightly chubby boys?" But still, I wrote all the time! I had multiple notebooks, most of which, I've unfortunately lost. Looking back into the journal that I started Freshman year, it's quite obvious that I discontinued this trend. I didn't even fill up one notebook throughout my fours years in high school. Most of it is full of my rantings on hockey players anyway... It's not like I had nothing going on then. Ok, so my life was probably equally as dull as it was at the age of 12, but seriously. That's just ridiculous. I used to LOVE writing. I even wanted to be a writer at one point. Then I enrolled in an accelerated English class and my jaw dropped when I heard Will A. read one of his fantastical poems out loud. Holy God, are you kidding me?

I wonder if I stopped writing because I felt intimidated by my peers? Was I shamed by their awesome writing abilities? Or did I become too lazy? Who knows, it's not like I WROTE IT DOWN OR ANYTHING!! Ok. Well, frankly, I am getting tired of this. I do enjoy writing about my day. I mean, lord knows I enjoy TALKING about it for hours on end with my friends (who are so gracious and patient with me, it's a wonder they still want me). Besides, I have a horrible memory anyway, and I'd love to be able to recall my youth in old age... even if it is just me harping on about how the slightly-chubby guy I knew in 6th grade turned out to be a TOTAL babe (just like I suspected he would).

So, today marks the beginning of my daily blog. Well, perhaps not daily. Maybe 5 days a week. Or a Monday-Wednesday-Friday Thing... Neh. I'm going to go big and try a daily blog. 7 days a week. Yes. Yeeeesssss.... MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Ahem, ok, sounds good. I will see you tomorrow, big boy. Ahahaha. Oh dear God...
