Greetings.

So, I thought I'd kick off this blog with an introductory post.


When it comes to the whole "About Me" stuff, I really have no clue what to say. I mean, I could either rant about every little aspect of my life and fill pages with nonsense, or I could do a typical A/S/L thing. Now, I'm not really leaning towards either option, so I figured I'd just answer a question I assume will be common in the future and save my lazy self the time later.


I suppose I should enlighten you all with why exactly I started this blog. Well for one thing, I've always liked writing. I don't know why, don't ask me. Strangely enough, when it comes to school work and writing essays, I'm the last person you would see getting excited about it. Truth is, I hate writing if I feel like its something I have to do. Now, people have always told me that I have good potential to be a writer. I'm not going to go into boring details and explanations since I know for a fact that it's not really something everyone wants to know.


So now is the story of why exactly I chose blogging. Well, last night, I was cooped up in my room, looking for something to do. It was around midnight, and I had already finished my daily dose of fangirling, so I needed a new way to occupy myself. Now, I was fully aware that I have school the next morning, but being the nocturnal lurker that I am, I chose to stick that fact into the "Meh" compartment of my brain.


Being bored, I decided to check out some of my favourite bloggers. I'm not going to namedrop them now, but I might discuss them in a later post. I went on their pages and spent a good fifteen minutes or so giggling at their posts, boredom completely wiped from my mind. However, I felt the disappointment sink in when I finished reading; why did they have to update so damn slowly?! 


Then an idea hit me. Why didn't I start my own blog? I mean, I definately had the time and it would be a good and productive way to kill my boredom. Hell, maybe I could even get somewhere with it. So, I gathered up all my techy knowledge (which isn't much, trust me) and decided to make my own blog. Now, finding a blogging site was easy since I have favourite bloggers, so I just used the same one as them. With my account created and my wonderful new alias created, I was all set to make this thing.


One problem though. You know how I said I didn't have much tech-y knowledge? Well, for some stupid reason, I forgot that, and decided to go make my own CSS to be unique. After about forty minutes of pathetic struggles and frantic spazzing at my poor computer, I gave up and decided to use a pre-made one until I found someone who loved me enough to make me my own personalized one.


Currently, I'm in the process of designing my own logo thing. My artistic abilities are next to none, so its proving to be quite a difficult task. Like, I don't have a rough idea of what to use, much less the talent to create it and make it look decent. So maybe I'll stalk down my artsy friends and give them puppy eye stares in hopes that they cave and help me. If not, a good beating never hurt anyone (I'm kidding).


Well yeah, that would be conclusion of my blogging story. I'll try to update whenever I can and I'll make my posts more interesting and stuff them full of pictures and other things you guys like.


Nice to meet you guys,
Alriee.
