Ladies and Gentlemen, start your engines...

In the ever-blossoming ego trip I call my life, I've decided to become another member of the masses that feels the need to throw every mundane detail of his or her life on the Information Superhighway (thanks, Al Gore). Or, perhaps more accurately, I have become just jealous enough of those with blogs to think to myself, "Hey, I'm just as cool as they are. I should blog too!" And thus, we begin...

I'm not going to bore those of you who know me (and, let's be honest, who exactly will be reading this and not know about me?? I may be narcissistic, but I'm also a realist.) with a 3-paragraph recap of my life. That's boring. At the risk of sounding terse, here's my life in a nutshell: I was born. Struggled through childhood (especially the fabulous "awkward phase" that I'm not entirely sure I've recovered from). Got m'self a useless English Lit degree. Fell in love. Fell out of love. (repeat). Got up the courage to move 1,000 miles away from "home." Continued to struggle for identity and a greater meaning in life. Watched "The Notebook" as a means of emotional catharsis. Finally grew a backbone. Fell in love for reals. Got engaged. Yeah, that about covers the first quarter-century...

Now, on to more important things -- like the present. Here's what's happening in my life right now (and will more than likely be the topics of many of my posts):

• I'm living alone in a faaaabulous condo on the East Coast (note the sense of elitism by turning the phrase into a proper noun).
• I'm working in a job that provides me with absolutely no satisfaction. I'm a corporate whore. I am faced with a common conundrum of loving my co-workers, but hating my job.
• I'm getting married in a year. This means I'm planning a wedding from 1,000 miles away. Yippee.
• There is a very good chance I'll be moving to Texas. In a month. No, strike that...in less than a month.

So, friends and neighbors...watch the crazy lady go even a little more crazy when faced with major life events happening on top of each other! Guaranteed amusement for all!! We'll see how well I accomplish the goal of attempting to write something (or cop out and post something) every day. If my success in keeping diaries and journals is any indication, this may be the one and only blog post you'll find. Still, I maintain hope for myself...now, I just have to find people who will give enough of a crap to read this...
