funny how it rained all day - i didn't think much of it then but it's starting to all make sense

Allllright...introductions.

My name is Amanda Foster. I'm 19 years old & I'm in my second year at IUPUI. Even though my degree is IU, I'm a Purdue girl at heart & I'm contemplating transferring up there for the last 2 years. I'm not really sure how to describe myself...I wish on 11:11. I love really meaningful quotes. I deeply prefer wearing skirts & dresses to pants. My mind thinks like a Sarah Dessen book. I don't like it when people take me too seriously. I have this wicked mischievous streak that seems to appear at the most inopportune moments. I'm drawn to intensity, passion & emotion in people. I have big plans for my life.

I thought blogger was very easy to set up, compared to other blogging sites I'm part of. Livejournal took forever for me to figure out & to customize so that the design truly said me. Tumblr was relatively easy also - figuring out what was going on on the homepage took a moment.

I'm not very good at giving tips or suggestions. I guess the thing I've learned with other blogs is to A) be yourself but B) don't just blatantly talk about people in your life. More likely than not, they will find your blog, or someone will direct them to your blog. They'll either want you to say it to your face, or they'll want you to stop announcing their life to everyone. It's a very tricky line to not cross. I've fortunately never had a problem (knock on wood) but I know people that have & they really have to clean things up.

alright...i'm giving this a go, even if it is 2 in the morning. I figure I've got a million other blogs, or blog like things, so how difficult can this be? We'll see what happens...I also figure that I might as well knock some of my homework out early. Thank goodness for coffee in the morning.

Introduce myself?

Oh gosh, I never know what to say. I'm 19 years old. I'm in my sophomore year at IUPUI, for Elementary Education. I'll work on this more the closer I get to this needing to be turned in, mmkay? mmkay.
