My first blog post evar. Be excited!
I think January will be a month where I go over 2008. After all, a lot happened to me in 2008, which you will see shortly. I've never done anything like this before. I hope Arianna Huffington is happy, the blog-crazy bitch.
I took the 50-book challenge last year. I know a lot of people read a lot more. How, I'll never understand. Sure, I could speed-read things, but for me that would take away the joy of living the story, as opposed to just swallowing it without chewing, so to speak.
