So I have this great idea.

Oh man. blogging is hard. So far this is what I have done:
1)Had an idea to start a blog where you, my cousin, and I, me, will alternate
days writing about all the fascinating things in our world and our
brain.
This will accomplish
many things, first, it will make you write and finish something in one
day. You cannot edit forever, you cannot wait til you are hit with the
hilarity bomb, or smote with the sword of wit, you will just have to
write me--or rather, the blog--something. It will be amazing. Also it
will help me finish something I have started, and that doesn't mean
another one of my notorious 3 foot scarves (a very uncomfortable scarf
length) because I decide it has to be done before it's over. I will
actually keep something going through the good times and the bad,
through the boring and the hilarious, through the wit and through the
terrible, terrible puns
2)Called you up and described to you my really nerdy idea.
You agree and then admit that when you
heard my excited (overly-excited and stumbling over words, actually)
voice you assumed I had made out with the boy I have a crush on. This,
of course, was not it because that is not an activity I can do alone in
my room in front of a computer until I have to go to sleep at 11(and
really, that's all I do now so, for future reference, if you are
thinking maybe I did something that must be done out of my room, out
from behind my computer and with other people ...or at clown
school...you are probably wrong in your assumptions).
How many parenthetical phrases can I have in one blog post...well we'll just
have to see, won't we?
3)Got off the phone and went to blogger to set up our new blog.
This failed miserably, I signed in on my gmail about five hundred times before I decided to give up on that one. I think it had something to do with Safari so I went to firefox and through gmail created the blog. (This leads to the next problem I have to solve, what is my password and how does anyone really sign into the blog so I can tell you how to do it. So far I think it has something to do with magic, but apparently theinternet functions more on codes and "programs" than it does on magic sooooo this may be a while.)
4) Got onto our new blog. Named it and stuff. Wrote the title for my first post
5) Accidentally pressed publish post. making my first post just a title.
6)Tried for a while to figure out how to get back into a post and edit.Finally I find
the little picture of a pencil (because, really, words would be too
much to ask) and proceed to "edit" my first post...aka write something
more than just a title.
7) Um and now here we are so I'm done with the numbers.

I am in San Francisco, you are in D.C. and we are carrying on two pretty
different lives right now but I think we could both gain a lot from this
little project. Let's try and not give up on it too soon.

Here's a little something from me for today:
These are things I want but can't really afford
1) a ukulele because my ukulele rockstar dreams will just not die. (ok so I'm lying. i can kind of afford this so I'm buying one this weekend)
2)glasses. I um accidentally sent
mine through the wash a few months ago and now they fall off my face
constantly. They still work though so I can't really buy new
ones.
3) an ipod. i give up. i feel left out.
4) pants that fit. you know...just because

Today
I babysat a three year old and so we were dancing and she refused to
let me stop dancing which I think is pretty great so I didn't. Also,
she explained to me the "real" way to juggle necklaces and it is
NOTHING like you'd expect it to be.

now to figure out how this internet thing works....

your cousin,
A
