In the Beginning

So this is the part where I tell you a little about myself, huh? I've always hated this question, "Tell me about yourself" because no matter what, it would always pretty much end up as: "Hi, my name is Valentina....umm... I... I like reading.... and... yeah..." That was pretty much my standard go-to answer. Not that there is anything wrong with reading, it's just I never had the awesome answers that other people would have, and in the end it always made me feel bad about myself.
I've since learned to love the person that I am, the things I've accomplished, and the stuff I do for fun. Also, it's not about the answers you provide to an on-the-spot question, asked every time you meet a new person, or have an interview. It's about the answers you find as you live your life, which is kinda something I want to get out of this blog. I want to go over the things I enjoy and make me happy, I want to share them with the world, so that when I look back at it I can say that I like more than reading. (There is also the theory that I'm just another narcissistic, attention grabbing, cult leader wannabe, but I swear I'm not. Though "cult leader" sounds kinda cool..... OK back to reality)

So what is the reality?

I am a twenty-something year old female, living in a small apartment with her boyfriend of 3 years and 2-six month old kittens. That is all I will say at this time, just because I want the rest of this blog to fill in the other pieces. I'm going to post about the things I like at the moment, the books I'm reading, the meals I'm preparing, and the random little things that pass through my mind. It's going to be all about me, me, me!!! (Narcissistic-check)

Seriously, though I'm not doing it for anyone other than myself, I just want a place where I can post some of my ideas and see them take shape! So, if you want, follow me and find out how to make some Chicken Stout Stew, or how to redecorate on a budget, or whatever other project passes through my head (Cult Leader-wannabe-check).

Go forth and live your little hearts out!
