Let's bake a cake...

So, a blog?

Hmmm....

Do people care what I have to say? Are my opinions of any importance in this world? Am I even relatively interesting? But, is it going to be fun?

No, no, maybe, and yes!

So, it's obvious that I've never kept a blog before. Do I feel like telling you about myself? Yes, but not in one big 'about me' paragraph. To me, if you really want to know me then you'll keep reading and keep learning. I know the ramblings of a seventeen year old are nothing in the real world. But even now, I feel like Anne Frank as I write this. She didn't believe that anyone would listen to the ramblings of a teenage girl either.....she was wrong in that department. But then again, Anne Frank was in hiding during WWII and I'm just sitting in my bedroom listening to my cat purr beside my ear. I don't think Anne would keep a blog, though. Even if they had the technology, one blog post or Facebook check would send them straight to a concentration camp. I wonder how some teenagers would deal with it today, to completely abandon all their social networks and hide in a sullen annexe. Most teens sit with their computers permanently set on Facebook or with their phones in their hands, texting about everything. I can already tell you I'm not one of them. I don't even like cell phones, or texting. And as for Facebook, I get on for about fifteen minutes each day. So I might survive if I was ever forced into hiding....if it only had Youtube (my only technology driven addiction.) But back to the point. Anne Frank had something to say and because of that she is still remembered today. I'm not sure if I have something to say yet; I just know I want to be remembered. I want to write books that make the bestseller list. I want to meet everyone in the world and give them a hug. I want to travel to EVERY country in the world. I want to do so many things....

And therein lays my greatest weakness.
