And I welcome myself... :)

Ok... so I have entered the world of the blogging years behind everyone else, but wide world of inter-web here I come! Well, I guess it wasn't behind everyone else as I had a blog several years ago that I never updated and I'm pretty sure it was deleted from my lack of maintenance. Life goes on.

Here are some of my concerns about having a blog (which is mostly one reason--and the same reason as to why I have not had a blog for a long while). Anyone who has met me knows that I have a tendency toward bluntness (I feel one of my more 'charming' qualities). In the realm of my little Melissa-centric universe this attribute is mostly well understood and is somewhat tolerated, but it has the potential for me being judged in a not so positive manner. My friends will obviously not be bothered by this, but other persons that may know me from a different realm of my reality may not expect it. So this is my WARNING! My blinking sign that will remain on if the power goes out. This blog will hopefully be a fairly accurate representation of ME. I'm not asking that you like it, just that you don't secretly/passive aggressively hate me for it. And if you do decide to do the latter please inform me so that I can make a mental note to not care. That's all. Oh yeah and I was recently told that I swear like a pirate hooker, but usually the swearing comes as an 'in the moment' verbal release and I don't plan on being that worked up while blogging (plan being the operative word).

Oh, and another one of the reasons why I haven't set up a blog is because I feel Reid will be constantly telling me how I could improve stuff on my blog as he is an expert, after all. That annoys me. Actually, I think it is just the idea that he's telling me that what I have done is not to the highest level of perfection achievable. I am Melissa and therefore perfect, right?? Haha. I have to laugh at my own jokes a lot to keep my self esteem up. Anyways, he hasn't even said anything yet and I'm already living in my world of scenarios and getting worked up about it. Nothing new there.

This blog is getting long. I usually become disinterested in posts that start to become this long, so perhaps I will start a new post just to be annoying like that. It makes me feel as if I have accomplished more, ok?
