Much thanks to Jeddie for getting us started on this!
Moving on- this is me! And Jeddie… but this one is all written by me, and so will naturally be more about me. I’m a bit… unusual is the word I generally use. A few important facts; I’m female- so expect hormonal mood swings. More specifically, I’m a 20-something year old single woman- so expect serious craziness and possible moping. I’m an artist- so expect intense drama. I’m a pessimist, and a bit of a pragmatist, but also a hopeless romantic and day-dreamer- so expect to be at least as confused as I am about how I feel about any given subject. I’m opinionated and argumentative- so expect to disagree with me on at least something I’ll end up writing. I’m a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (people call us Mormons) - expect insider humor from the church culture (every religion has one) and possibly some comments on religious matters that you will never agree with me on. Unless you’re also a Mormon, in which case… green Jell-O with carrots- enough said!
As far as writing goes- Jeddie tends to be very social-issue oriented in her thoughts, words, and writing; I tend to be more introspective, but expect some of both from each of us. (She's also funnier than I am; sadly, I'm a bit too serious for my own good.) I also, as you can probably tell, do run on quite a bit once I get going!
Speaking of giant words like ‘introspective’- I have a large vocabulary and an online dictionary/thesaurus. I like to use them, so be prepared to possibly have to google a word’s definition. That said, my spelling sucks and my written grammar needs constant correcting by my mother- still. If you are a grammar-Nazi, please accept my apologies for anything I may say incorrectly, and then move on. It’s taken my mom 20 years to get me to this point, and I will probably never improve. (sad, but true!)
As far as what matters to me, besides what I’ve already covered… I’m a dog person; I love music and dancing; I hate driving, and my sense of direction is approximately equal to that of your average rock; I love hats and shoes; I’m an introvert- a topic that will probably comprise at least one entire posting at some point. The term is highly misunderstood by the majority of the population, including some of my fellow introverts.
I’m hoping to have a lot of fun with this, and hopefully get some thoughts out there into the world, even if no one of real importance to my life ever reads them. I’m no intellectual genius and I have my flaws, but who knows; maybe something I write will strike a chord with someone who reads it. One can only hope, right?
Au Revoir- Until we meet again.
Rebecca
