Beginnings

Howdy. I'm Jennifer, and this is my blog. Whoo hoo!

Actually I guess this is a natural progression. I've been on the internet since 1997. From chat rooms, to a livejournal, to a facebook, to a twitter and now a blog. I'd been thinking of making one, but wondered who would listen to someone like me?

Then I made a deal with a friend. They would pull the trigger on their blog if I did the same. (Thanks Demond! =P) They did, so here I am.

It's 12:30 a.m. May 15th. I'm somewhat of a night owl. I'm also unemployed at the moment (will blog for food, cash, and/or Lady GaGa tickets!), so I have more time to devote to this than I should. I have a vast variety of interests that I'll blog about. And I do mean vast.

A couple of things about me. I was born & live in Kentucky, which I'm not too thrilled about but unable to do anything at this point in my life. My political views have swung from extremely conservative 4 - 5 years ago to fairly liberal at this point. I have trusted Christ as my Savior and I do my best to follow Him & live by His Standards. I'm a feminist, pro-choice, pro-gay marriage and anti-gun. I also voted for, and fully support, President Obama.

...Is it obvious now why I'm not thrilled with living in Kentucky? Heh. Not exactly a blue state here.

I read. A ton. I'm talking a lot here. Fiction and non-fiction. I have three bookshelves filled with nothing but history/biography. I adore history and often feel that old quote is so true, "Those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it." I often think that quote should be plastered all over Washington, D.C.

I would like to write more, but it is fairly late so I'll close. I'll finish with the quote Keith Olbermann uses to end his show, and which he took from Edward R. Murrow: Goodnight and good luck.
