In the Beginning...

My friend Tanmoy says, "You should start a blog."
I say, "Umm...maybe."
And, well that night I started working on one. I suppose I don't have very much resistance.
I'm not so great at the whole "writing" thing, but I do love it quite a lot. We will see how the blog works out. And, by "we" I mean myself.
For a small town girl, lots of eventful things do happen to me. (Let me clarify- I am easily amused so these so-called "eventful" things might not be so eventful at all.) I'm almost a strange or creepy events or people magnet. I've been hit on by old men and men without teeth since I was in fourth grade. It makes me feel really classy, let me tell you. Also, just crazy things happen to me.
This summer I went to Honduras with Torch Missions. They informed that there was a little political turmoil, but no one really thought anything of it. But, the Sunday after I arrived there was a coup (or a political overthrow of the president). There was rioting and a bombing in the city, but we were up in the mountains. We ended up having to leave the country early, but we couldn't get tickets out! Even the U.S. Embassy wouldn't help us. Mind you, they backed the deranged, power-crazy former president, Zelaya. I didn't feel to proud of America for that.
Anyway, we ended up leaving (it was more of a calm flee) that Friday. We were scheduled to leave on a Monday, but we ended up getting plane tickets for the flight on Friday. That Sunday (I think it was) the president tried to get back into the country so they blocked the airport for a few days. So, we wouldn't haven't been able to leave the country that Monday. We would have basically been trapped in a foreign country.
Also, another less exciting example: I was proposed to by a stranger on a street in Gatlinburg. I said yes, but I never added him on facebook.
Well, I suppose this was a pointless post. If it's any condolence, I enjoyed writing it.
The End.
Oh, and all the photography I post is mine.
