cha-cha-changes

i was looking at the blog today and decided i wanted to change it the way it looked. so i did. 


some of the posts may start with a "thought"; some may not. don't really know. guess it will depend on the topic. 


think i will also break into my archives and play with some stuff that i have kept locked in my numerous notebooks.


just some stuff to look forward to!

two months is a long time

thought: where do you start when you have so much to say?


it's been nearly two months since i've written last. in that time, i have been on vacation, learned some things about myself, started reading a great new book, thought more about my favorite writing topic, decided to pick up a new hobby, taken a ride on a motorcycle, seen people get married, seen people break-up,  cleaned out my room and had a bug in my ear for 16 hours.


now you can see why i haven't had a chance to write. so much stuff going on. i will update soon, i promise. i have much to tell and many thoughts to get out of my head and onto some paper...or a webpage for you literal people.


the thing that probably gave me the most memories was my vacation. it was a lot of fun but the day leading to it and the drive to my destination were nerve wrecking. there are few times in my life where i can remember being that nervous...but i put on my brave face, flashed my big teeth, and everything turned out great. granted, i also had my most embarrassing moment while there. but it was kind of a good thing. gave me some confidence. i mean, i worried a few times after that about the impression i made. and, honestly, i still do. i had the privilege of meeting and staying with an amazing family. i wanted them to like me very much...hope i didn't "try" too hard to be myself and mess it up.


can't worry about that now though. 


there is a life to be lived. i have definitely lived the past two months. that, perhaps, is my greatest accomplishment of the past two months. i've done stuff i have never tried before. i have done some stuff that i was very uncomfortable doing as well. it all turned out alright. seriously, the beginning of my summer has been fabulous. 


i can't wait to see how the rest of it shapes up...
