Well let me add "started a blog" to the list of trendy, 20-something things to do this year, along with:
- travel to Europe to "find myself"
- get divorced
- cease talking to anyone on the phone in the name of texting till my fingers bleed
- turn down perfectly good "going out" offers to have a secret "Sex in the City" marathon with my couch
- pretend to be a songwriter (Well, I am, but I only write songs about relationships, so I'm starting to sound like a slightly less violent Alanis Morissette, and really - let's be honest - every hippie chick worth her weight in patchouli goes through a photography phase, a poetry phase, and a songwriting phase. I've done the first two, so I guess it's ok to give in to this self-indulgent singer/songwriter thing, even if I do only know 3 chords on the guitar and I like the way it looks on my lap more than I actually have the patience to learn how to play.)
- start a blog
But really, this blog is dedicated to Uncle Travelling Matt from Fraggle Rock, who always travelled the world and sent informative, educational postcards back to his nephew, Gobo. I leave for my 6-week backpacking trip through Europe in 5 days, and this will be my connection to my peeps back home, because I know that y'all can't live without me for that long.
So here it is, for your reading pleasure. . . (drumroll) . . . my blog.
