It’s approaching that midway point in my summer vacation. Usually it’s at this time that I begin to hate my life at home and wonder what the hell I’m going to do with myself with the rest of vacation. It’s also 3 in the morning, and I think I’m slightly delusional due to lack of sleep…and the fact that I’m sick. So, while in the process of coughing out my lungs and sweating like a pig in my bedroom, I decided to try to start a blog. Again.
I say again, because I’ve tried blogging. I really have. Twice before in fact. The first time was on a site about a year ago, I think it was called The Experience Project or something. I still get emails from them. I think they’re directed to my spam folder now. The second time was via notes on facebook. That didn’t work out because, it just so turns out, people don’t like being tagged in my weekly incessant ramblings. And I get bored, and distracted, far too easily. You will notice this is a recurring thing as I (maybe) write more and more of these things.
To start off with my first post, the topic is going to be about me. This is one of the very rare times you will ever hear me write solely about me. Mostly because I hate talking about myself. Sometimes.
Anyways, I’m a young college student going for my Liberal Arts degree at Southern Maine Community College in South Portland. I know, Liberal Arts, WOW. I’m going places! Oh yeah. It’s an indecisive thing. I’m thinking about transferring to USM for nursing afterwards (this upcoming school year will be my last at SMCC), but that’s still subject to change. I live at home in the summer and on vacations with my ever-loving family consisting of my brother, mother, step-dad, three cats, and two dogs.
Nextly, a few things about who I am as an actual person. I’ve been told that I’m crazy. Like, legitimate, you never know what to expect crazy. It’s all in how I act. Not the kinda crazy all you normal people like to brag about saying “Oh, look at us, we’re singing spontaneously in public! Wow! So crazy!” No. Stop. That’s pretty normal behavior. Not crazy at all. I’m the kind of crazy to the point where people have stopped and seriously asked me if I was on drugs (which I’m not), to which my friends like to play off of and just…make everybody believe I’m a crack addict. Next thing you know, people are asking what I deal and my price range. This has happened. Multiple times.
Next, as I mentioned above, I’m pretty scatterbrained. I cannot remain focused on one thing for too long. It’s physically impossible for me. I instantly forget what I was doing in the midst of doing it, and just give up on life and move to the next thing. I think I might have ADD or something…but the only things the good ol docs have diagnosed me with is Bipolar. Which brings me to the next point…
I’m Bipolar. Clinically diagnosed and everything. I get the mood swings and the depression and the manic episodes and everything. It’s really no picnic, and I hate it when people throw the word around. I’ll get into more about this in a future post.
Lastly, I get the urge to write sometimes, and when I do, I write A LOT. And it’s usually at one in the morning. I wrote a book last summer. It’s still in the editing phase. I also started book two of that. And I have like 3 other projects planned after that. Will I ever get to finishing them? Maaaaaybe. People seem to like them though..so they might sell if I ever get to that point. I dunno. Maybe I’ll blog about it later.
So there you have it, a little ‘About Me’ post. Feel free to comment, follow/subscribe/ whatever this site does for interaction between blogger and reader. Hopefully I’ll be putting up one a week, each time about something different. It might be a rant, it might be a review. Hey, it might even be a short story! You neeeever know.
A Bientot! (I also speak a little bit of French. But I’m too lazy to grammar.)
