Well here goes nothing....
Blogging is something I've never considered doing before, and am only starting to now for school. Why haven't I blogged before? I don't know truthfully. I guess I always felt like I didn't have anything important or interesting to say, or the things I would think to say felt too private. I feared my thoughts and opinions being judged by others, something I don't take well. But now that I've popped the cherry its time to take a real stab at this.
So, who am I? Well thats a loaded question in itself. On paper I'm a 26 year old female with blonde hair (at this moment anyway), brown eyes, who is vertically challenged (aka I'm short lol). I have a bachelors degree from the University of Ottawa with a major in communications and a minor in psychology. I'm just returning to school after being away from full time studies for 4 years, to do a 1 year certificate program with St. Lawrence College in Interactive Marketing Communications.
My two biggest passions in life would have to be photography and travelling. Two topics which I'm sure will be discussed often while blogging. I also have two babies at home that have me wrapped around their fingers, or should I saw paws?!lol Roxy, a 5 year old pure bred Border Collie and her 1 year old puppy Storm, who is crossed with an Australian Shepard. My boyfriend and I also live with another couple who own the one and only, Frank. Frank is a 200lb+ Great Dane with the biggest personality. But more to come about them later...
Well a heat wave has hit our area again and sitting here with this hot laptop on my lap in this non air conditioned house is really making it hard for me to focus. So I'm going to pour myself a cold class of white wine (another love in my life) and wait for this crazy storm they say is coming to hit. Hail? Damaging winds? Possible tornado watch?!?! May need the whole bottle of wine!
Cheers!

Hi Joanna, I love when people I know write real blogs. (FaceBook and it's ilk do not count. ;-)
ReplyDeletere. "I guess I always felt like I didn't have anything important or interesting to say, or the things I would think to say felt too private", I have two suggestions:
1. Think about your future children and grandchildren, and how much they will enjoy reading about some of your inner life some day. (As opposed to those of us who know almost nothing of that sort about our ancestors.)
2. For things that make you really uncomfortable, I would suggest creating a second blog and keeping it anonymous. Depending on your level of discomfort, you might like to learn about how to use a VPN, or Tor, and various browser plugins to preserve your anonymity.
