The first post should probably have a really creative title

However, I can not think of one...so there ya go. I am sincerely hoping that nobody I know ever sees this blog. If you do know me...awkward. When creating this blog, I had so many things I wanted to write about; I couldn't wait to actually start typing. I kept thinking of new things, from how annoying it is to try and find a template that I actually like, to why the boy I kinda, sorta, maybe like won't freaking text me back. For a second though, I completely blanked and could not think of a single thing to write.

To start, the reason why I wanted to make a blog was because I have always been fascinated with journals and I love looking back at memories. Honestly though, when I was a kid (and even to this day), I loved watching home videos. I have memories of me begging my dad to hook up the camera to the TV (earlier memories of this GIANT camera, later memories of a slightly smaller one, and once we got the one we have now, I was already old enough to know how to work it). I just loved to watch my own growth. It's strange to see so many things that had happened to me, or so many things that I did, that I don't even remember from actual memory. It's almost like looking at a film of a different person, in a way. Sometimes my family members will be like, "Do you remember when this happened?" (referring to something that happened before I was born) and I will strangely be able to recall it (if it had been video taped...I'm not some sort of psychic or anything!). Cameras are truly amazing. But anyways, enough rambling about the power of technology...for a little bit, at least. I have tried to write in journals countless times, but I think the longest I had ever written was maybe a month or two. I just lost interest, or didn't have enough time. Or I was just lazy and my hand hurt too much. But I always love looking back on them and reading. It's kind of weird how time works, when you think about it. At the time, I had no idea I would be sitting here in my bed, reminiscing about how little I was back in the day, or how many stupid things I wrote. I don't know how faithful I will be to this blog, but even if it helps me preserve even just a few memories, that's fine by me.

"For lovely eyes" comes from quote by Sam Levenson/Audrey Hepburn,

“For Attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
 For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
 For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
 For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day.
 For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
 People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.
 As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others.”

I LOVE this quote (enough to even put part of it as a facebook status once...a huge thing for me, considering I post a status like, once every couple of months).

Another thing, besides the whole "choosing a blogger template that I actually like is the hardest and most time consuming thing in the word" situation, is that choosing an address is also hard. It took me forever to realize that I could include dashes if I wanted.

Who knows what I will end up posting on here as the time goes by...that's the fun of it! And as long as I know that nobody I know will read this, I feel pretty free to say whatever. To briefly touch back on the power of technology, I am happy to say that my fingers do not hurt in any way from typing. What a great advancement for humans. Bravo.

I feel like that is enough for a first post. Hopefully more tomorrow...if I have time. -.-

Oh, and he did text back. Phew!
