Oh my blog.

Well here it is folks. It's what my mom and two out of three sisters have been hounding me to do for months. The most highly anticipated auto"blog"raphical thing to ever hit the Ferg family. Oh my blog.

My initial impression of blogging is that it's very intimidating....and not as fun as I thought it would be. All this white space for my thoughts, which, if I was typing a personal email, would be a playground for me. But the idea that anyone and his or her mother can read about my (seemingly boring) life puts alot of stress on me to do weird/cool/crazy things (eyemuffs, Mom and Dad). Oh well. No one except the aforementioned (did I use that correctly?) family members are going to read this thing anyways.

So before I begin, a few disclaimers:

*I use ellipses alot. That means I'm about to say something not that cool, and i'm attempting to heighten the dramatic suspense.

*I'm kind of a grammar nut, and I'll probably be typing this thing in AP style most of the time. AP style is how journalists write, and I'm not saying that this blog is in anyway a piece of classic journalism (shout out to all of my journalism major friends/past coworkers at Home Magazine. I don't think bloggers are journalists. Journalism is actually hard. This is not.) I'm just saying that's how I write 95 percent of my day-to-day life so I'm used to it.

*I may or may not make up words....I have Microsoft Word open as I'm typing this just to keep myself in check. Capeesh? See that's not even a word.

*Most of these posts are going to be about what I eat, what I wear and other random things in NYC. I work 9-6 all week, but once in a while I'll see something and say "that's going on my blog." That's the reason I decided to make this thing. That and I'm running out of cell phone minutes.

One last thing...how much editing is supposed to take place on a blog? Aren't blogs supposed to allow you to just let your thoughts and feelings flow? I must have proofread this thing 10 times!
