Soooooo Here's the Thing...

I just graduated from college last June, and I’m currently working full time. In a file room. Insulated with hundreds of files. While I’m incredibly grateful for the fact that I have a paying job (albeit temping), I have to say that working in the “real world” isn’t as much fun as I thought it’d be. In fact, some days I feel like it’s eating my soul as I die a death of a million papercuts as dramatically as the the time Mola Ram tried tearing Indiana Jones' heart out of his chest at the end of The Temple of Doom.

Now don't get me wrong; in college, I worked hard—especially when I became serious about my classes. I was the nerd who went to all of my classes, sat in the front row, went to professors’ office hours, spent hours upon hours reading and writing papers on history and sociology--and enjoyed it.

But there was also a lot of freedom in college—even though that freedom had little to no money to do fun things.

Now, on the other hand, I’m still poor, but am paying student loans with the teensy pay I get. So, still no fun. While I plan on going to law school this next fall—hence, more money in future jobs!!.. Hopefully. The future of the legal field is another story—this kiiiiiiind of feels like a lose-lose scenario at the moment.

So, rather than wallow and turn to excessive lonely drinking and peanut butter consumption while listening to Josh Groban, I decided to retreat to my inner universe of Harry Potter, chicken casseroles, gremlins, and George Washington. In short, I’m starting a crazy person blog.  

You’re welcome!

You see, I’ve recently noticed something about myself. I’m very strange. Either this is a recent development (possible) or I’ve just been terribly oblivious to it (more possible) and am just now opening myself to the probability that life is better when you just let the crazy in and do its work (even more possible).

Also I’ve always liked writing; and now that I’ve graduated, I really miss it.

Also also, continuing to write (even if it means documenting the insane ramblings of a 22-year-old) will prooobably help me keep up the ability to put sentences together, which will arguably be helpful for going to back to school to become a fancy-pants lawyer.

So yay! On with the blogging!!

Did I mention I like to draw too?? Meet Henry. He likes to party.

Again, you’re welcome.
