This e-diary of my life will consist of stories of travel, the occasional emotional dump, my feelings regarding men in tank tops, and my not-so-secret lust for everything battered. And a few other things..
1. There will be a lot of things on this blog that you might not care about, or that might not even make sense to you. You might not know who or what I'm talking about and there's a good chance that I will neglect to explain it. Sorry.
2. The F word. It happens, I'm not proud of the fact that when I get mad/excited/happy/tired/hungry I tend to use it like a Staten Island Pirate, but I do.
3. I talk about food in a Danyelle Steel bodice-ripping way. I become overly descriptive and sometimes I have to take a walk after I write about burratta mozzarella. I love food, and if you know me at all, you know that there are few things that bring me more pleasure than a good burger, the perfect pigeon or a really great coffee.
4. I won't talk about my love life. One must have said "love life" to discuss such things.
5. Even with the best of intentions, I probably won't update this as much as I plan to.
6. I will try to find a balance between narcissism and thoughtful insight in what I write, but lets be honest, this is really all about me. Me me me me.
7. I don't really like the number 7. Skip.
8. I over punctuate. A lot. Like right now. But I will never use bad grammar. There is no excuse for it and I will not have that kind of garbage on my blog. Oh, and you will never, EVER, see any "ttyl" "lol" "brb" "or "fml" on this thing. If you use any of these ridiculous acronyms around me, I will e-punch you in the face.
9. Through the next few months, I will be traveling through France, Switzerland, Malawi and South Africa. There is a mixture of work, school and play in most of these places, and bound to be some pretty blatant bragging. Ignore, or post a snarky comment if desired. Oh, and there is a pretty good chance that I will write after a few cocktails. Again, feel free to ignore anything that starts with "aieruhjkjawinef;aiudhv 945djn your mom."
10. In all honesty, the reason for starting this blog is that while I love nothing more than eating my way through cultures all over the world, I miss my family and my friends dearly. This makes me feel a little bit better, as though telling you all stories on here is a temporary substitute for the back porch, the big bed on a sunday morning and the couch with too much wine.
So now the French sun is out, had its espresso and cigarette, and is ready for the day. And so am I.
Happy reading.
