beginnings

i never thought i'd blog. EVER. even when one of the requirements for my AP literature class was to create and constantly update a blog, i never saw myself doing it. even though my blog was eventually born, my teacher never enforced the rule that we had to post one blog every week. when my friend grace told me she had mentioned me in the blog for her lit class, (she has a different teacher, who i heard actually checks for his students' blogs) in which she compared her ten best friends to the parts in her '91 volvo. after reading her posts, i began to search for her followers, discovering several other blogs of my senior classmates. i was overwhelmed after clicking on so many names and gaining the ability to read the innermost thoughts of people who i simply passed in the hallways but never conversed with. i never realized how complex and interesting the people around me were. or rather, i'd never taken the chance to notice.

i never knew much about blogging; the closest i've gotten prior to today was to reading the postsecret blogs every sunday morning. but this might be the start of an obsession.
