Foreward

I think I should start from the beginning.  Rather, I should start this entire blog over.  So let's begin, shall we?

Hi.  My name is Elizabeth.  I'm originally from a small town in Washington state.  And when I mean small, I'm not talking about a suburb outside of a city.  When I say small, I don't mean 50,000 people.  I mean 4,000 people.  Instead of a mall we have a Super Wal-Mart.  Instead of restaurants we have a McDonald's.  Instead of art galleries, museums, and culture, we have rodeos, backyard barbecues and shot gun weddings.  While, this may appeal to some, it didn't to me.  So I left at sixteen, moved to California to a boarding school.  Now I'm at college in LA and about to take another culture dive.  In exactly eleven days, I depart America to spend three months (three entirely glorious months) in Florence, Italy. 

I realize blogs are the hip new thing to do.  And normally, I'm not "in" enough to partake in such activities, but, I'm a writer, and this is a way for me to feel productive in my "craft" (I hate that word) without having to beg publishers, producers, agents, actors, and the general public to give me the time of day.   You see, it really doesn't matter to me if anyone reads this.  In fact, if I make myself believe that no one is (which won't be difficult), I can be honest about everything.  So, while I appreciate anyone who reads this thoroughly, for my own sanity, I'll just pretend you're imaginary, like my other friends.

Did I mention I'm twenty years old?
