i have decided the only thing that i love more than sleeping in clean sheets, is sleeping in clean sheets while it is raining outside.
that said, the constant deluge we have been going through for the last week is starting to wear on me.
i can almost imagine i live somewhere interesting, seattle, san fran, london..(insert rainy metro area here) but then i remember, nope. still iowa.
oh woe is me and my rainy environs.
really, if that is the worst thing in my life at the moment, then i should shut the hell up.
but they way things are going, a rainy day would be great.
seems the fates just want to kick me in the ass a little and remind me to not be too complacent about anything.
i think it is fair to say i got the message.

if anyone knows of any remote, pacific islands that are not occupied, minus a few natives and where i can get food/water drops on a weekly basis for free....
let me know.
i will be on a plane tomorrow.

So-
This is my first time for one of these. Seems rather strange that I can ramble on and on, personal information, opinion, anything trapped in my brain and it is instantly avaiblable for anyone to see and pass judgement on.
Ah, this instant world we live in. Just add water and VIOLA! Anything your immediate gratification self could want/need.
But here I am anyway. Ranting aside.

So couple of things about this red head.
-to start with i am a horrible speller. seems ironic that i made it through 4 years of higher education pursuing a degree in english and history. i live for spell check.
that said, i will not be checking my rants here. i view this whole process as a rather stream of consciousness sort of thing. and i can assure you, in my brain, the spelling is right.
-the particulars about me: single, female, live in the midwest in a city that is really a large town, late 20's. that should paint enough of a picture for right now.
-i think for me this whole blogging thing will be rather theraputic. i haven't kept a journal or a diary in eons, but i often find myself needing to get things out of my brain and onto paper - real or virtual. and these days, it seems, my brain is chock full of crap that needs to be let out.
I will close with this today. do you ever feel like the life you are living is not your own? right now, i swear, i am somebody in the audience watching this all play out and not having any control over the outcome. (side note: i tend to exaggerate and am rather prone to the drama on occasion)
i suppose i should just chock it up to the rollercoaster called "this is your life" and accept that the next hill won't be as steep.
here's hoping.
