Episode 1: Lol, How Do I Blog?

So, I made a blog.

Yeah. Not sure how this is going to turn out, but we're just gonna roll with it, kay? The whole reason I'm doing this is because I really wasn't sure what else to do with myself. I don't check Facebook or Twitter that much anymore, nobody follows me on Tumblr so I feel like I'm posting to nobody (Except the one guy who lives across the street that happens to follow me. That sounds waaaaayyyyyyy creepier than it actually is, now that I think about it.), and basically all I use Instagram for is posting pictures of my coffee.

See, the thing about me is that, normally, I'm not a big talker. I'm incredibly introverted, and sometimes I don't have much to say. But sh*t, if we hit a topic that I have a strong opinion about, you better strap your poor unfortunate self in, because I'm gonna talk that sh*t into the ground. Youse gon' wish you ain't neva knew me.

...and so it begins.

Sometimes, I really just want to talk. And often times, in conversation, since I sit back for so long, I always wait too long to say something or make a point, and then it becomes irrelevant. So this blog is my outlet. My time to shine. But you knew that. That's why you're reading. At least, I hope you're still reading. Otherwise, that's just awkward for all of us.

Well, maybe just me.

Yeah, definitely just me.

SUBJECT CHANGE!

Big shout out to my bestie Ellen for being the biggest part of the inspiration behind starting this blog. I saw she had one, liked what she posted, and thought the whole thing was just really neat (ellenpearse.blogspot.com if you're interested). So I figured, why not do that myself?

Anyway, if you don't already know this about me (perhaps you don't, and that's why you're reading this now), I'm a pretty huge gamer. I pride myself on this, in fact. The blog's title might have given that away, though. If you have no clue what I'm alluding to, get on YouTube and search for Let's Plays. Enrich yourself.

So that's where the other part of my inspiration for this blog comes from. I've always admired people who have YouTube series. I think it's so cool, especially people who do playthroughs of video games. I've always wanted to do one myself, but I've never thought I'd be good enough at a game to have people watch me play it or knew how to go about doing so. Regardless, it's been sort of a dream of mine for a while now. So I thought to myself, "I like to talk about random things, I want people to hear said things, and I want it to be my own. I know what I'll do!"

And that's exactly what I'm doing. I'm gonna Let's Play my life.

So we'll see how that goes.

Thanks for reading! I mean, if you actually read. If you just skimmed to the bottom just so you could say you read it, your loss. You missed out on some quality commentary. I hope you step on a Lego in your bare feet. Anyway, hopefully there will be more of this in the future. Maybe not on a daily (or even weekly or monthly, depending how this semester turns out) basis, but there will be updates. Fo sho. Aight den, playa. L8r.
