Hello, hello? Testing, testing... 1,2,3. Is this thing on? Oh, ok, here we go.
Hi everyone. My name is Bethany and I'm starting a blog.
(Ok, your turn, this is when you all say, "Hi Bethany" in unison, AA style. Not that I've actually attended an AA meeting, I'm just mimicking movies, which I assume mimic real life... sometimes. Or, if you prefer, this is when you can say, "Duh," if you think that's more appropriate. Anyway, moving on.)
I decided to create this space primarily for the purpose of keeping people (friends, loved ones, stalkers, etc.) up to date on major and minor events in my life, since, well, I'm kind of far away now. And I do mean events. I don't want this space degenerating into a meandering dribble of thoughts and opinions. I'm the only person who might possibly find that interesting, and even then I'm not so sure.
However, not much is actually happening in my life at the moment. Or day. Or week. Or month. (More on this later). And so, rather than let this space lay dormant until I get a job or a boyfriend or a tattoo or whatever, I'd like to try a couple of other things as well.
First, I have a couple of books of questions. Every now and then, I'll find one good question and answer it myself right here. Hopefully you'll answer it too, and then we'll know each other a little better. Or you can just read mine, it's ok, I don't mind opening up about myself. Transparency is cool. At least, I think it is.
Second, there is stuff happening in the world. Sometimes (::cough::) I have opinions on the world haps, and I like sharing them. So I'll share a little bit about current events and then my take on them. Who knows, this might be what evokes the most reaction from you guys, which would be cool. I know you'll probably disagree with me, and that's fine, please feel free to share. Also, more importantly, if I misunderstand or am misinformed about something, please correct me. It's ok, I can handle it. And if I can't, you're still safe because I'm too far away to actually do anything about it. Really though, I would rather be corrected than continue being wrong.
Ok, so that's what I want to "accomplish" with my blog. I've got several other things running around in my head, but this is enough for now.
Thanks for listening! You've been a great audience, and don't forget to tip your waitresses.

Well I stumbled upon this via Facebook, and I would like to say I fit into the friend category, but the truth is, I have not been very good at that as of late. It has been such a long while since I have talked to you. Anyways, I hope all is well. You say going to Chicago? Congratulations on that. Well I won't make this overly long, but I do hope that you continue to write here.
