And so it begins...

As the blog description explains, I grew up with storytelling. Not tales woven of knights and fair ladies, or heroes and villains, but humorous or otherwise entertaining truths told of people I knew, and moments that had stood out to the teller. My father is an amazing storyteller, and his stories are the ones I remember most distinctly growing up.

Now living outside of New England, I notice the differences in culture between my past and my present -- which often leads to more stories being told, which it turns out, my friends seem to enjoy. I am my father's daughter, it seems.

I had a blog on LiveJournal for years. But it became more of a private space than a public one for me, and a couple of years ago, I outgrew it. Then I maintained a blog on MySpace, as my friends and family from home wanted to keep up with the goings on in my life, and I really suck at answering the phone and/or returning messages. But it seems I have acquired a few stalkers on MySpace, and have decided that entire site is home to perverts and degenerates. I'm tired of being solicited, harassed, and otherwise irritated by that entire community of people, so once I export my photos and memorable blog posts and such from it, I'll be shutting that site down. But I've come to enjoy my writing -- sharing the stories of my life, and my observations and opinions on it all. So I shall start a blog here... I hope you'll find it to your liking... and if you don't, to hell with you and don't read it, lol.
