Blog

I created this blog for those who were interested and had time to read about my adventures in France. Blogging also functioned as a way to keep in touch as well as evade the “How was France?” question. The same question overwhelmed me when I returned from Germany a few years ago.

I intended to quite blogging when I moved back to the States, but I enjoyed it so much that I’ve decided to keep writing. For most of the people who read my blog the USA isn’t very exotic or interesting so I might loose some readers, but... muh.

It’s a mark of my ego that I think my ideas and experiences warrant a special place on the web. However blogging has morphed into more than mere glorification of my not so unique experiences. I use writing as a medium of thought process. I keep a journal, but I never re-read it or edit it. Blogging allows me to revel in the process of; finding just the right words, arranging, and rearranging the word order. Crafting something that is clear and meaningful to someone else heightens my own sense of self awareness. Thus, I justify my blog as part of my never ending clichéd pursuit of “finding myself”.

In France I updated my blog weekly. Now that I’m in the States, I don’t know if I’ll have that many new and exciting things to report about. Furthermore, once I’m back in Illinois I don’t if I’ll have time between being a full time working girl and playing house with my sister.

If I do have time and lack of good material from my own personal life, I might do some current events, particularly of the international variety. My latest addition to my long list of life fantasies is to be a rogue journalist. Shaking up media reform, and shocking the masses into the mobilization of a peace movement.

Thank you all so much for reading.
