i've given into the blogging fever:

I figured this would be the easiest way to keep whatever family members, friends, and stalkers (just kidding) up to date with what's happening in the fantastic life I lead.

First things first:
1. Don't expect this to be consistent. I'm a notoriously horrid journal-writer, so even though this is basically the same thing - and one can always hope for improvement - this will be an exercise in patience for everyone involved.
2. This blog doesn't have a theme or specific content, or else it would have been called something else, perhaps along the lines of "Liz Finds Love in Happy Valley: A Detailed Account of the BYU Dating Scene" or "1001 Reasons Why Provo May Cause Insanity" or "My Goals: Because Someone Like Me Needs A Public Forum To Actually Fulfill Them"   basically, if you care enough to read what I have to write, then you should be happy with the posts I provide. Thank you.
3. Procrastination is a special skill of mine, so posts may or may not always be timely. I'll just keep you on your toes.
4. If you want to help me make this silly blog pretty (in a low-tech, idiot-proof way of course) then by all means, help a sister out.
5. Ridiculing the way I make my smiley faces will not be tolerated. They are fine the way they are (:

Let's get this thing rolling!
