Allow me to introduce myself..

And no, not in a super "All About Me!" myspace/facebookish way.

I am 18 years old, and I am currently surviving my last 3 months of life at home. Or, to be technical, 2 months, 2 weeks, and 3 days at home. (Don't remind my mother..she bursts into tears when she thinks about her sole child shipping off to college..and the surmounting bills that come with it.)

I have a handful of amazing best friends, a highly annoying (yet totally adorable) family, and a few dreams that are far too big for my small town situation. Girls like me, or those around me, grow up on sweet tea and bitter advice, and usually end up graduating to work at various phone companies, water/electricity companies..or they stay at home. With the babies. All around..age 21 or 22.

Let's fast forward a couple years. When I'm 21, I plan to be interning with GLAMOUR magazine in New York City, with a fabulous apartment (I'd settle for a studio) , a passport with multiple stamps of various countries all over it, and a size 2 ass (I'd settle for a 4). If I don't get started on that one soon, that will DEFINITELY not be happening..

I'm not hoping this blog will shoot me to fame, fortune and riches..but I am hoping it will give me SOME substance in life. Everybody needs something that makes them feel important, whether it is being a mother, being a writer..or being invisible. If it gives you a sense of belonging, it's totally worth it.
