Hello world!

It has taken me this long to realize what all the blogging hype is about. I admit, I have been a blog stalker for quite sometime now. Yes, you can say some of my stalking came from a nosy side of me that wanted to know the scoop on the curious creatures I've encountered in my life. What has really been the most rewarding part of stogging (blog stalking), is each blogger in a way opens their own personal diary for a select few, or countless masses of people to read. There's something about the blogging world where people find you and in some way relate. 
I have been keeping a diary for the past year now and have found it to be one of the most therapeutic practices for me. I can look back a few pages and see the progress I have made in my life. With every blog I've read I have been able to relate in one way or another to the author. Even the blogs of girls I grew up in Sunday school with. I perceived their lives to be perfect while I was a little whipper-snapper and I carried that perception through to my adult life. Now I read about their woes of married life and get a glimpse of insecurities and trials they face. Secretly my whole intent of reading their blog was to feed the jealous little monster inside of me. Instead I am relating to them, smiling at their breathtaking wedding albums, being convinced that they truly did find a perfect catch for a husband, laughing about all the appliances breaking in their new home, empathizing with them after the passing of their grandmother, and being convinced that they are far from perfect but are nothing short of inspiring. 
My vision for this blog is to write as if it were my own diary. I for the most part will portray the humorous side of me. I also don't keep secrets (of my own) very well, so I imagine I will sometimes share a little too much but that's just my style. I will definitely talk about being a little person often. Names will be mentioned, but never in a topic that would tear someone down (I mention this in preparation for tomorrow's post "My three forever crushes").  I am certain there will be emotional posts as well as some posts that make absolutely no sense at all (ex: My love affair with Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies). Anyway, I am delighted to be here. Wingapo!
