Inaugural Blog

So this is what it's like to blog. I guess as I learn more about the blog world and all the fancy options I have for spicing a blog up, the more readership I shall garner. As of now it is just me and thus I have resolved that first and foremost I must make this blog appealing to me, it's sole readership and not to mention the soul of this blog.  So the next few paragraphs should matter only to me and have no real great flow or anything. Mostly I want to improve my writing skills, "hone them" if you will. Also, please do. I also want to document my life, I guess. Back in the day people kept journals, but those are dangerous. What if I dropped it and my crush finds it? What if it gets lost and published by some other person claiming it as work of her own?

My grammar will improve as I continue to blog, I hope. By now (my fourth and final year of college) I have forgotten all about the proper placement of semicolons, apostrophes after s's, appropriate italicization, dashes, parentheses, etc. Clever usage of puns also escapes me (as my sole/soul sentence indicates) and to be frank it has been quite the challenge to make sure most of my sentences don't start with "I", "So", "The" or "And".

A few weeks ago I read a short story by a couple of friends of mine, and their ability to induce warm fuzzies in my tummy led me to believe that words have magical powers. Actually, I already knew they do just as much as I know simple actions can have magical powers, but the story reminded me that these things are so and so I am writing some words of my own. If anything this will remind me at some point in my later life that Sam and Amanda did indeed lead me to have a warm fuzzy in my tummy and that will be enough to make me smile.

That is all for now. Although this blog has been cheesy thus far, do not be fooled, I am a lady of many secrets and mysteries and little do you know what I will think of next. It could be anything so stay tuned and thanks for watching.

Love, Peace, Happiness, Eat, Love, Harry Potter, Blah,

Claudia
