Well, since I'm here, I may as well practise my blogging.

I'm home all alone for the first time in months and it..is...exhilerating!! Why, I can walk around in any and every stage of undress and there's no-one to loudly exclaim "Daana Linton, have you comepletely lost your mind?? What if the neighbors see you??"

Ah yes, and soon I'm goin' to go watch MadTV and eat popcorn. This is the good life.

I try so hard to have the house all to myself more often, but my family....they just won't leave!

Oh well, popcorn time.
Awright, here goes.
This is my first...uh...blog (even that word sounds strange...wait, since when is "blog" even a word anyway?). I guess I'd better make it a good one...a memorable one even!
.....I think I have a little stage fright.....I feel the need to tell myself to relax and breathe deeply...I sure hope this goes okay.

When I first saw this blogging thing (haha, sounds like a British cuss word there!) I was like "Why the hell would anybody want to have an online diary, with everyone reading your thoughts...examining the intimate workings of your mind??" But I've recently come up with the answer, at least in MY case! I think EVERYONE needs something or somewhere that everything can be ALL about themself!!! Plus I don't think anybody will actually read this.
I find that I'm always tuned in to the outside world and I don't get a chance to retreat inwardly!
But then I asked myself "Why don't you just write in an old-fashioned journal...y'know, one made of paper?"
To which I replied "Silly girl, I DO write in a paper journal...but this might be more fun!!"

And with that, I raise my glass in a toast to...Daana The Blogger!
