and so it begins...

well here it is... i, ferocia, have decided to jump on the blogging bandwagon. sure, i'm about a year (or 3) behind the trend, but i figure there's no time like the present. so let's take this nice & slow. we don't wanna start too hard & finish too early (that's what she said). to begin, i know pretty much nothing about "blogger" or how to work it. it's not like i'm some 74 year old woman who's only online to see pictures of her grandson nicholas at his soccer game or anything; i've just never sat down & tried to figure this stuff out. i was a xanga whiz kid about 4 or so years ago, but then i graduated high school & developed a life. sorta. basically i'm just saying that it's gonna take me awhile to tweak & settle on a layout that i like. deal with it.

i also don't use capital letters unless i feel like yelling at you across the world wide web. capital letters are overrated in my book.

so as you might have noticed, i didn't actually state my real name. i have no intention to anytime soon. that may seem weird, or even downright paranoid to some people. i guess it's just because most of the people on the internet are fucking creepers & i'm not about to become the main story of a sweeps week episode of "20/20". is that show even on the air anymore? they probably cancelled it because john stossel was such a little whiny bitch... "oh, you're fruit juice is only 97% juice, not 100% juice like your bottle says." go blow yourself, mr. stossel. yeah, i said it.

anyway, the main reason for starting the blog that i hope you're still reading is, simply put: i like to think i'm a funny person. not so much funny in the stand up comedian sense (which i personally think i would blow at, but that's for another entry altogether), but more in the "i always have a sarcastic remark or quick one liner to add to everything" way.

(if you're reading this, there's a good chance you're one of my friends who's nodding along as you read. if you're not one of my friends, you're probably in that "fucking creeper" group i mentioned earlier.)

before i get back to my main point, here's head's up... if you don't like things that don't move in a linear fashion, i am not a person you should communicate with. talking with me is like talking to the movie "vanilla sky" (except the part where i don't fucking suck): i'm all over the place with tangents & side notes & such randomness that you'll probably wonder what the fuck is going on. we could start a discussion on the risk of polar bears becoming endangered & end it on how the holy roman empire was neither holy nor roman nor an empire (discuss!). i also curse. if you keep a bible in you're bedside table like a hotel room, this isn't really the place for you either. unless you need someone to hate. in that case, i welcome you with open, unbaptized arms.

speaking of sinners & what not, i'd like to bring up a little something something that slightly connects all the randomness you've taken in so far. or something like that... anyway, i just saw a little clip of a porno (yeah, i said porno. shock! gasp! le sigh! whatevs, i'm over it.) that featured someone i know. & i use the term "know" loosely because i've seen this person maybe 2 times & both were fairly awkward enough to make me want to forget said times. but that's not the point of this little sidetrack that we've taken. as i was reading the description & what not about this "film" (i also use that term loosely), i noticed that this person was not only using a fake name, but also lied about their age. the person is over 18, so it's not really a big deal or anything, but it annoyed me. then i realized that i was more upset that this person lied about their name & age than the fact that they were in a porno.

this is not normal thinking to most people. but then, as you may have already noticed, i'm not most people. i'm what some people would call liberal... others would call me a godless heathen. you say potato, i say istanbul. i'm used to the wacky right wing backlash (say that 5 times fast). i was best known in high school for being the girl who accepted alternative lifestyles and made another girl cry during a debate on abortion (in case you were wondering, the infamous statement was something along the lines of "well would you abort your baby if you knew it was gay?". it was a one two punch that was probably one of the proudest moments of my life.) but that's what happens when you live in the middle of god's country, attending a tiny conservative high school (less than 200 students for grades 9-12) of bible thumpers who have prayer at the pole while you skip school to watch "maury" or "the rocky horror picture show". & in case you're judging that last statement about skipping school to watch "maury", it was usually for the episodes involving kids with weird deformities or crazy makeovers. it's called "prioritizing", people.

so yeah. that's just a little taste of me & what you can expect from this blog. i'm sure as my posts continue, we'll dive even further into the subjects we've only touched base on so far, such as religion, homosexuality, abortion, etc. you know, all the hot button issues most people try to avoid. i'll be doing the opposite. i'll be getting uncomfortably close to them, if you will. if you won't, i don't care. it's going to be a good time. so until then here's how i got my blog name (in case you didn't know because you were living under a rock... or one of those poor countries where they don't have tvs or food or whatevs)...

watching: spider-man 3. i'm less than halfway through & regretting it already. i don't remember the venom shit turning spider-man into an emo pussy in the original comic books or anything, but i never really read them so what do i know?

*side note: james franco's lazy eye (his left, i believe) freaks me out. i google image searched "james franco lazy eye" but nothing came up. balls.
*side note part 2, still about james franco: i've also decided that i don't like him when he's playing anything but daniel desario in "freaks & geeks". i miss that show...

reading: "i am america (and so can you!)" by stephen colbert. i've actually only read the intro but it's good so far. plus anything stephen colbert touches is glorious in my mind. except his ben & jerry's ice cream. yuck.

listening to: clair de lune by debussy. before you go bananas trying to figure out what it's from: the bellagio fountain scene of oceans 11. that's not why i'm currently in love with it, but we'll discuss that later...
