Say Hello

Admittedly, it should not have taken me until 2013 to get my act together and join the rest of the world in the online blogging movement. Somehow, the pressure to deliver a constantly interesting, intelligent stream of posts was daunting enough to deter me from the blogosphere for three to many years. Now as I make my debut, I can’t confidently say that my ability to write increasingly interesting posts has changed. What has changed is my age. Three years ago, when my uni lecturers encouraged us to jump online and share our thoughts, I couldn’t figure out where my next class was let alone what I had that was worth sharing with, uh, everyone. However, today, I am in my early twenties and that my friends is a whole different ball game! In recent months, I have found that your twenties are a never ending landslide of self discoveries. That might sound deep, but i’m including in these personal epiphanies the fact that my taste  in alcohol has matured beyond the ever reliable “goon sack” and I now enjoy a drop that comes in bottle form, and should be drunk from a vessel other than a plastic cup. 

In any case, I now feel I have just enough under my belt to launch myself into the online world, beyond Facebook (yay!). If the consistency of my posts slows somewhat, it’s because i’ve decided I am in fact still a child, and have nothing of value to offer to the already jam packed planet that is the internet, but hopefully, that won’t happen… at least for a while. Since I (among millions of others) am representing the twenty something gals of the online world, I thought it was only appropriate to name the blog after one of my favorite quotes from HBO's new mega hit GIRLS. "We are obviously the ladies" is straight from the mouth of Shoshanna Shapiro, a character I have grown to adore despite finding her mind numbingly irritating in her first few appearances on screen. Shoshanna, played by  Zosia Mamet is that friend we all have in our lives that on the outside is as socially infuriating as she is daft, but a small scratch beneath the surface reveals a heart of gold. 

Happy reading. Xo
