My first...blog?

There have been many firsts for me in my life: My first date, my first kiss, my first scholarship, my first apartment, my first vacuum (almost...)! For the first time yesterday, I bought myself, of my own accord, vitamins. Vitamins! For those of you who have just embarked on that crazed voyage they call "adulthood" you know just as well as I that there are just some things that prove to you that you are no longer under your parents' wings...vitamins, and the purchase thereof, are just one of those things. Proof that I am no longer a baby girl. I'm a big girl.

I must admit, never in my life did I think of, much less aspire to, having a blog. So, this is a first for me as well. My first blog...now, I must put forth a very important question:

Who in their right mind decided to call what are essentially online diaries such a loathsome and rather unappealing name as a "blog?" I mean, really? Here we are, putting forth our ideas, our thoughts, our...well, whatever, and they decided to give those musings such an distasteful title as blog...by all means, when I hear the word, I think simultaneously of amphibians, and the act of regurgitation. The word lacks any grace, tact, or art. (And yes, words are an art form, to be played with and configured.)

Anyway, all I'm trying to say is that I think the word is ugly. If one were to make up a word...well, it would be prettier, that's for dang sure. Heavens to Betsy, it would be down right lovely!

Ha ha...well...there you have it.

My first blog.

The End.
