To many people I live a unique life, of course to me my life is average and somewhat plain, however when putting my personal description in print I can understand how my life can be perceived as original.
I am in my mid twenties, I have two step-daughters one is a teenager the other claiming the pre-teen status, I am back in full-time in University, aspiring to be a Archaeologist, and engaged to the father of my step-children. The wedding is next summer so I am bouncing between the roles of a organized nurturing mother, studious student and hyper-decisive wedding planner, none of which I feel I do particularly well at.
Now the purpose of this blog... there is none. I wrote a blog while living in Scotland last year and I really enjoyed it. I tried writing a few when I returned home but nothing really stuck, I decided now to write one with no theme or direction, just my random thoughts and feelings. I often have swirling thoughts rolling in my head that wouldn`t be appropriated to share with the people around me and when they are shared they are often met with awkward silences or weird reactions, so I found it best to keep certain things to myself.
Now, this blog is called `What Quirky Entails` because my oldest step-daughter brought to my attention a few months that I am quirky... which was news to me. She compared me to my sister-in-law who I consider VERY quirky and this statement prompted me to re-discover my self a little. When I looked to my fiancee for his opinion, he kinda shrugged and said that I am frequently doing and saying odd things and that he agrees with the statement of my quirkiness. So, here I am writing a blog to balance my mind and also hopefully re-gain my former vocabulary which seems to have abandoned me in the last couple years, maybe due to kids, or being out of school, either way my goal is to write a book one day. This blog will help to practice my creative writing skills. My advice to my highly intelligent yet extremely pesismist cousin was to just start writing somewhere and anything. She has amazing ideas and is very creative but she doesn`t know where to start, so I will take my own advice and just start. I hope she does the same one day.
My mind seems to be full of inner monologues just waiting to show they`re colors. Most of what I say doens`t make much sense to the average person. I have terrible grammar and even worse spelling. The spelling can be fixed with the glory of spell-check however the grammar is open to interpretation.
I will attempt to keep my posts structured with topics, and try to write weekly.
Here I leave you with my first post that I hope has answered the question of : what is this blog about?
Signing off, tootaloose, auvoir, until next time.... I haven't decided yet-
Elizabeth
