Boring Update....Trying to get back into the swing of it....

Good evening loyal readers. I'm actually fairly certain that nobody reads this anymore (possibly because I haven't updated in over six months.....), but all the better, because now I can write without the pressure of having to be funny or thoughtful or politically correct. Because, wow, those things are difficult.

So, a quick update: I have gone through a lot in the past several months, and though I won't go into the details here, it's definitely true that I am very different than I was just one year ago. And that is refreshing. I mean, I still have brown hair and my apartment is still a veritable pit of laundry and candy wrappers all the time and I still sing every phrase that crosses my mind, but fundamentally, I have changed. I am moving to Portland this summer to attend law school, and I can't wait to have a fresh start. I wouldn't say I'm running away, but I definitely feel like I am ready to leave Texas (and most things in it) behind and start a new chapter of my life. It's exciting, because I really have NO idea what to expect in Portland. I feel like Christopher Columbus sailing across the ocean, expectantly searching the horizon for something, anything to validate his voyage. Like that, but without the scurvy and funny hats.

I am really going to make an effort to start blogging more. I have loads of stories that I would love to publish, but unfortunately, due to items on my contract, I am prohibited from discussing most of what happens at school in a public forum. Which is a shame, because teenagers are hilarious, especially when they don't mean to be. So, that leaves me with stories from my own life, which aren't really all that exciting. I guess I'll think of something.
