So let me just dive right in...

I've been dragging my feet, contemplating what I was going to write as my first entry for this blog. I wanted to create a refreshing piece of internet literature that would stimulate interest or get a few laughs. I'm worried like.. am I interesting enough to write a blog? I can barely excute a joke in person, how am I going to make someone laugh through these typed words? My typed words!? But I've been doing a little research on my favorite bloggers (http://frenchkissez.wordpress.com/ and http://people-places-things.blogspot.com/) and those ladies just message about whatever comes to mind. I can do that right? I mean, at any given time, I have a million things run through my head... like what I need to do at work, what's going on with my family and friends, my plans for the weekend, groceries, what's for dinner, dating, goals for the future, my hair... the list goes on and on...

So let me just dive right in... I came up with Naturally Eccentric because I wanted my blog to be literal expression of my personality. I take pride in my natural-since-birth-never-been-permed appearance and my simple what-you-see-is-what-you-get mentality.  I'm naturally sensitive, funny, friendly, and all that jazz... Now the Eccentric part speaks to my love of various forms of music/creative media, bold colors, funky jewelry, geeky engineering stuff... I like to shop at local thrift stores, catch an occasional open mic or $4 movie, and recently began taking courses in painting...

Since I'm sitting at work, I will turn my attention back to the files on my desk.  I think this was a decent first entry (high five for dipping my toe into the  blogger pool!)  I am challenging myself to write something, anything, up here at least twice a week.  With time, I may just get the hang of it...

Be well!
