i've been blogging for a while... blogger, live journal, xanga... it's a great outlet. after a while, i ended up on myspace with a small following of readers and it got weird. people would see me and want to discuss my blog with me. soon, i stopped blogging. without my blog myspace had no purpose for me. i'm ready to start again, but first there are some things you should know...some people get offended by some things i say/write. knowing this, i generally start a blog explaining where my words come from.
i was born in oakland, california. my family moved to las vegas, new mexico, when i was in 6th grade and then back to california when i got to 7th grade. right before high school my family moved again to nashville, tennessee. i spent all four years of high school there and promptly went back to california after graduation to go to san francisco state university. san francisco was fun, but it was expensive. so i am back in nashville trying to get a damn degree.
i was raised by a wonderful, strong, and witty mother. she taught me to have my own opinions and think for myself. she had me relatively young and she never babied me. i have the influences of a super-step dad and a formerly-shitty biological father on my psyche. i have the conflicting complexes of being the oldest of my parents' children but my grandmother's youngest and favorite grandchild. all these factors have made me inexplicably me. it has shaped my opinions and philosphies and i bring them all to my blog.
i have a ton of opinions about a ton of things and i'm not very shy about voicing them (though over the years i have learned to be more tactful.) i blog when i'm mad. when i'm happy. when i'm outraged. when i'm bored. when i'm sad. when it's raining. when i'm working. when i just feel like typing.... basically all the time. i have lots of theories. i go on lots of tangents. i have lots of pet peeves.
basically... i am an open book. i don't really hold back when i blog. i don't edit. i don't apologize. i just type. it's refreshing. i like it a lot. i take criticism very well and i'm quite open minded so feel free to leave comments. both positive and negative. =]
