In my own words...


So this is the start of something very new to me. Blogging... what a strange concept.

I've never been one for keeping any kind of journal. In fact, any journal I've ever attempted to keep I'm pretty sure I started, got two pages in, and then proceeded to lose forever within the abyss that is under my bed.

And now it is almost a requirement that I keep a journal so to expand my horizons. Why? Because its required for my class, and I suppose since everything now days is communicated in any way through blogs, it would be beneficial for me to become a part of it. 

So here I am, one of the most unsuccessful journal keepers ever, writing a blog. This should be fun.

Wow Olivia, you sound really excited to have to blog this semester. I feel like you have so really amazing content in store for the blogger site. Just letting you know I am huge fan.

Olivia,

You mentioned blogging about books that had been made into movies and reviewing their degrees of failure (and possibly maybe success). I think it's a great idea and I look forward to reading your ideas.

Why not start with "Blood and Chocolate?" It was a great book and a tragic movie.

Remember that woman who has a movie being made about her simply from following recipes in a cookbook? Julie and Julia or...something like that? Well, that was just an ordinary chick who felt like cooking to get away from her personal life. See, you don't have to have a profound topic in order to have a successful blog. (And for the record, I "phailed" at writing in a journal too, so don't feel alone there.)
