First Blog

I've been sitting here for a really long time, staring at the "name your blog" page. At least, it feels like a really long time. I haven't actually been keeping track. As I'm writing this (in WordPad), I still have not picked a title yet. I feel like it should be something at least a little bit clever and interesting, yet still random and slightly funny, while not misleading the reader in to thinking that this blog will have any sort of structure or be about any thing in particular. But then I remember that I am not terribly creative or interesting, so I can't promise you that what I come up with will be any of these things.

**Edit** I named it "Beabins is Pretty", which is kind of a dumb name, but whatever. Beabins is my nickname for my cat, Bea. She's basically the most pretty-est cat ever.

Like I mentioned, this blog is not going to be about something in particular. It's just going to be a place for me to share my random thoughts, feelings, stories, ideas, etc. I'm not so sure that it will be worth reading, but if you do read it, that's really awesome, so thanks!

 Apparently there is something called "Bird Lung Disease". I am watching Confessions: Animal Hoarding on Animal Planet. I feel like there is a good chance I will end up on this show someday. I'm only, like, half kidding. One of the hoarders on this episode is named Jackie. Just sayin'.

I feel like I should mention a few things here. I try to write well, because I want to sound smart. But I am not the best speller, and spell checkers can't catch everything, especially grammatical errors. I know the basic rules of grammar, but I am far from a pro. I will not hold it against anyone who wants to correct me. I also want to point out that my "good" lap top has recently exploded (not literally) and died, and is currently with the Geek Squad being fixed. So, I am using my old lap top for now, which has some keys that choose if and when they want to work.

Now I'm watching Monsters Inside Me, which is, for those of you who don't know, a show about human parasites. Not humans who are parasites, but actual parasites who live in/on humans. This show makes me want to not live any more, because basically anything you do can get you infected with creepy crawlies. But I love to watch it. The scie-Oh. The first story of this episode takes place in Gainesville, FL, which is like an hour and a half away from me. I've now connected both shows to me. Because everything is about me (kidding). Anyway, what I was saying was that the science-y factor of the show takes away some of the icky factor. They just mentioned Shands Hospital, and I know of that. I get extremely excited when popular media mentions things I know about.

I am keeping this first, introductory post light, and not very full of information. For no reason other than, I simply don't feel like going into "it" right now. In following posts, I plan to talk more about myself and my life. But for now, I think it is time for some mint chocolate chip ice cream.

P.S. This seven-year-old girl (the first "story"), has a pork tapeworm in her brain. This is, like, the 10th episode of this show that I've seen someone have a pork tapeworm in their brain. I am never eating pork again. Ever. Except for bacon.
