The Ever-Exciting Me

Before I begin, I’d like to throw out there the fact that I have no idea what this blog is about or will be about. I’m merely writing a blog because I love to write and share my opinions with my friends and strangers alike. I may as well stuff some personal things in here too. So whoops and sorry for a blog that may have no backbone or substance in advance. However, I do hope that you will enjoy what oddities I write on here.

Ponderbox was begun in April,2008, in an attempt to keep a record of all my thoughts and perhaps learn more about what I write through interactive comments. At the end of (insert time period here), I hope to be able to read through my blog and learn something about myself, because currently, I can’t answer the question ‘Who am I?’. I’m hanging by a cliff and I wish I knew more about myself so that I could hoist myself up and walk the world with confidence, knowing just who L is. Once again, I’m sorry if I come off self-centered, as I suspect this all would sound, but I’m truly just trying to find some way into self-discovery that could,perhaps, lead me to a better and more fulfilling life. Any comments on such topic are very welcomed.

So a bit about me…………………

Hallo,my name is L. I’m finally a freshman at FIU. I am a first-generation student at college. My plans include being successful in one way or another,minus becoming a statistic in today’s world. I’m ridiculously awful at math, but oddly great at guessing on mathematical tests. I’d take a book over a calculator any day. I’d take a microscope over a book any day. I’m proud to say, and yet very ashamed of, that I am one of the world’s greatest procrastinators. Don’t fight it; Just accept it. I don’t have a religion, like other ‘rebels’ out there, but my reason isn’t because I’m trying to stand out. Frankly, I do that well enough without having to say a word. Not old enough to vote, but old enough to know who I’d vote for. My friends tell me I’m a great writer, but I think I’m as good as any of them. I don’t have any super powers, or extra limbs. I can’t touch the tip of my nose with my tongue and I can’t lick my elbow. I’m a pretty normal person. I have horrible memory for somethings, and a fantastic memory for others. I’m an insomniac. Seems to run in the family. The only thing weird about me, besides everything, is that I like to people-watch. Yes,that’s right- people-watch. You think no one understands you? I might be apathetic, but chances are, I know you better than you know yourself. And to sum it all up, if you’ve known me for a long time, I can be a real pain in the butt. If you’ve just met me, I’m a sugar-covered lemon drop and the nicest person you’ll ever meet.
