Okay. I guess today was a day of firsts...

So as of now I have just entered the world of blogging. It's weird.

But I did it on the insistence of one of my closet friends (thank you very much PonyBoy!!! I didn't know you wanted to be put on blast so I quasi did...) who also coincidentally thinks I am repressed and don't call enough, which is true. It's not my fault, honest. Sometimes the concept of using a phone really frightens me. Seriously. I don't think you can joke about being scared of a telephone.

Since this is a "day of firsts", I guess I should write about how I brought my first acoustic guitar today also. (Okay...so the real story is that I inherited one from my sister who played it maybe twice and I stole it from her. *shrug*) It is beautiful, which I am proud to say. It is a Mitchell MD100 for those of you who are guitar-savvy. (I'm not honest....but I'm working on it). It is mostly made of mahogany which is some pretty nice wood. I went into the store looking for a completely different guitar all together, but sometimes life has a way of giving you a curve, so it all worked out. Lately, I have really missed playing what little guitar I know, and have really missed writing all together. This blog may in fact be one of those life curves I talked about...you know...when you expect one thing and get something you seriously did not ask for. Like that bad Christmas or birthday present. Anyway, I'm hoping to get really good, and finally accompany the songs I write with some tunes. (Sweet...I'm a Rock star....okay no. Not really. Not even a little bit.)

I also start my first day at a day camp tomorrow here in Oberlin, where I'm doing my summer research, so that should be fun. Lots of little white humans ---err---I mean children running around. That should be fun. (On the real though I love kids. All kinds. Especially brown and black ones.) I am going to help teach West African drumming and dance. Again...should be lots of fun.

Okay...this may be enough for now...considering I have to get up early and do the day camp and research and all...
