First day of Journal

Greetings and salutations, faithful readers or just me.
Welcome to the birth of my online journal! Yippee!!! [Drum
roles! Shouts! The crowd go wild!] Anyway, I probably
introduce myself and give reasons why I started this blog in
the first place.

My name is Losey and I live in Washington DC. I am in my
mid to late 20's. In many ways, I am very much an
generation Xer. I am overeducated with a bachelor/ master's
degree and underemployed currently as an office temp in a
brokerage firm. I do, however, have aspirations to do more
with my life instead spending my work hours surfing the net,
reading up on financial/ investment information, making
photo copies, sending faxes and doing data entry for a
pittance. Instead, I really want to use my brain in the my
professional life and 'help people' which translated means I
want to gain experience and return to school as a special
education teacher, social worker, counselor or drama
therapist. Until then, however, I need to make money to
save and hopefully at one point get health insurance.

Other things your should know about me. For fun, I like the
following: acting, swing dancing, reading, drawing, writing,
hiking, working out, traveling, spending time with friends,
watching movies, freaking strangers out on the metro and
trying to stay sane. I live with two crazy, but awesome
roommates that are dating named Nick and Abby and two cats,
Indiana and Hidasha. Nick and Abby very cool people, but it
can be difficult being the constant third wheel in your
living situation. (The cats are cool. Hidasha is old and
likes to sit on her heating pad while Indiana is friendly,
hyper and codependen). Also, I have been single for two
years and have the tendency to attract emotionally
imbalanced men/ or nice guys who have not gotten over their
ex/past relationships. I will probably be mentioning these
stories or other recent dating dilemnas as time goes by.
Finally, I am from a small town in NJ and come from a very
loud and boisterous Italian family (mother's side) where
holidays tend to consist of eating for hours, drinking lots
of red wine and dealing with crazy mishaps that come along
the way. These gatherings will also probably be included
during the duration of this journal.

So, why did I start this journal besides a place to debate
the meaning of life, reflect on my recent experiences and
vent and moan? Well, I guess it was inspired by one of
ex-boyfriends. He started a public blog two years ago, and
since then, it has been a subject of controversy amongst
our mutual friends because he is a 'Blog Fascist'.
Basically, the boy would state an opinion or belief on his
journal which would cause some disagreement amongst his
readers/friends. They, in turn, would post a comment
politely disagreeing with my ex's point of you and he would
edit/omitt their statements if they were not to his liking
and limit their viewing to his journal. As a result, I have
decided to start a journal which upholds the foundation of
free speech and debate. If you disagree with me and want to
voice your opinion (in a civilized manner) you are certainly
welcome. I could now go into how this is a free country and
all that, but I think it would be laying it on a bit thick.

Well, that is all. Let the games begin! Yippee! Happy
reading. Cheers!
