Now, I decided to throw my hat into the blog game roughly five minutes ago, but I'm hoping my super-smart-techy-teriffic-handsome boyfriend, Andy, might help me out a little with the design aspects. I knooooooooow he'd be so good at making this blog look neat *hint, hint* -- but we'll see, since a) He knows nothing about this yet, and b) He has a job and he tries to have a life outside of catering to my every whim (though he generally fails at that last part -- adorably). Anyway, all I'm saying is, don't get your hopes up about this becoming some visually beautiful piece of internet pie -- but do feel free to email Andy and beg him to make it so. :)
Some notes on the project for my grandmother: I'll be working on a "documentary," filled with 1st-person stories from her and her family about her life. We (Andy and I) just shot the first footage and interviews this weekend, and we'll be spending the rest of the summer (if not longer) getting interviews, doing detective work, and editing all these elements together to try to make an interesting, accurate, coherant narrative representation of her life story.
Here are some words that DON'T describe me: ambitious, follower-througher, motivated, time-manager. So this will essentially be the biggest, most serious thing I've ever done in my entire life, if it actually happens. Wish me luck, ya'll.
Aside from my project with my grandmother, I'll be probably be posting possible Reveille columns/ideas as well as day-to-day musings/observations...so hopefully this blog will be full of variety and novelty.
So, those are my great aspirations for this, my little baby blog. Now, sit back and watch as I do one of two things: fail miserably (what I do best), or succed WILDLY, like LOLcats or The Daily Kos.
Speaking of LOLcats, here's something precious to round out my first blog:
Hi ya chick, just wanted you to know that I'm interested in your blog, and that I love you.
