Post 1 - tidbits about me

My first ever blog on Blogspot! I tried Xanga for a while...but honestly, after 4 posts, I was bored. Maybe I never understood the point of blogging back then, but the more oppinionated I become, the more I want to talk about it and my Facebook friends don't want to read all of my random rantings :) Why not Blog, and maybe someone will look at it, maybe someone won't, either way, I feel better for getting it out there!

Now...some random tidbits about me, so that you understand my random rants.....

1.) I love the word Random
2.) I'm 29 and planning to never turn 30...it kind of freaks me out
