preface

I guess they call it a preface because it precedes the table of contents, individual chapters, note about the author, acknowledgments, notes, and index. I kept up with a blog when I studied abroad in Paris. That was two years ago. Since then, I've graduated, had three jobs (I'm currently on #3), lived in five states, had three boyfriends, had ups, downs, and all-arounds, and I still don't know what I do "when I grow up." I'll fill out the "About Me" tab (which I have yet to put up), and then I'm not really sure how things will progress from there. My fab office-mate asked me what this blog was going to entail, and I replied somewhere along the lines of "uh, idk...lifestyle?" What does that even mean anyways? I ask you.

There may be tidbits of fashion although I usually forget to snap photos of my office apparel that I so carefully select from my closet every day.
 There may be a tablespoon of historical geekery thrown in, well, actually, there may be a few pounds of it, depending on the day.
There will most definitely be commentaries on various media-- we're talking movies (old and new), TV shows (ridiculous and/or really engaging), and music.
There will be some DC life stories although, to be honest, I usually stick to the routine of going to work, coming home from work, working out, working on dinner, and then working on trying to calm my brain down in order to fall asleep.
There will be relationship advice........oh wait, that's pure nonsense, but I may throw in my two cents on love life trifles every once in awhile.
There will be witty banter...my roommates and I have a lot of nonsensical as well as intelligent conversations. I will tell you all about them, "you" being my readers if I have any. I guess we'll see about that!
There may be talk of food. Despite the fact I'm a recent grad with a "moderate" salary, and I don't get to eat fancy food much, I still think about food a lot. Sometimes the roomies and I cook/bake...meaning I watch them cook/bake, and then I hope for a sympathy serving. I'm a heat-up-decently-healthy-frozen-food kinda girl.
Without a doubt, there will be much talk of books. As an employee of a book publishing company, books are life. There is no life without books. Even if I didn't work with books every day, I'd still love books. So stop playing "Angry Birds" and go read.

Basically, as Forrest Gump would say, "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." That might have to be my blog's mantra.
