The First One

I have a college address. It's where my mom and grandparents send me sweet letters and souvenirs from home, it's where businesses mail my purchases when I make rash spending decisions, and it's where I get flyers from Palm Beach Tan that are rarely lucky enough to even make it to the trash can.

But this is not my real address. I don't live here for good, and I likely won't be living anywhere in the near future long enough to call it home. But there's always one place I never really stray away from for too long. It's this lovely place called Square One.

So what better way to celebrate Square One than to start a new blog?

Ask my friends. I suck at introductions. As a matter of fact, you're probably sitting there right now clearing your throat and thinking, 'And you are?'

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Elise. I'm a sophomore at the University of North Alabama majoring in Professional Moping and minoring in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I like things quiet and simple and sweet. I spend too much money on food. Sometimes I like to pretend that I live in a lighthouse on the coast of Maine with a lobster boat captain husband and a cat named Jefferson. The people most important to me are Jesus, my mother, and Elvis Presley. In that order, but Elvis and my mother are pretty close to tied.

Good. I'm glad we're on a first-name basis now.

I'll spend the next few months trying to make this read like a blog instead of a diary. Wish me luck.
