A Little Backwards

...Because usually I like to read blogs, if anything. But now I've decided to take a stab at writing my own for the following reasons:

1) I've recently graduated from college and will soon enter the terribly boring world of grown ups. And not only that, but I'll be doing so in a brand new city where I know... nobody. I forsee lots of lonely nights ahead where such a self-important activity as blogging could be fun. (Or at least it could pass the time.)

2) I can keep tabs on my ex-roommates-turned-blogging-pals who will now be heading in different directions. (Or staying in place.) And they can keep tabs on me while I pretend to be an adult. So for instance, if I find an ultra-rich New England man and we happen to get married [for the money], then they will know about it without me having to send an informative memo back to California.

Of course, if I marry an ultra-rich New England man, then my first demand will be an ultra-fancy beach house in California anyway, where I can spend my days lounging by the ultra-fancy pool. And then I will invite you (my lucky readers) over for sunbathing, and when you ask how I managed to score such a fabulous place with a fabulous pool, I will end up telling you all about my rich New England hubby. You might not meet him right away because he will be stationed at the New York City penthouse... but that's probably just as well. I don't care much for chaperones.

I mean, just kidding. I fully intend to become an independent career woman with my own fancy beach house.

What was I saying? Oh right, the reasons.

3) I was "inspired" by another blog. If you are the author, you know who you are.

So there you have it. If you come back next time, I will try to stay on track. (However, I can't make any money-back guarantees on that one.)
