I suppose this blog requires a little bit of an explanation, or explanations. The first of which, is that I have no intention of running for president. Ever. Of any nation. Biggs 2036 is just a cute name. Yes, yes I know, I would be excellent at leading a nation, and I do look great in pearls and pantyhose, but I think I might actually be TOO good at it, and therefore anyone following in my role would be doomed to failure. And I just couldn't do that to those poor, aspiring politicians, with their big dreams.
This blog, which I will not be referring to as a "blog" ever in the future (doesn't it just sound tacky and self-absorbed?) is to track my adventures and misadventures while in Washington DC and abroad throughout this coming fall semester. I will post photos (hopefully), along with cute little anecdotes of the goings-on of my thrilling life.
Now, my reader, I have some other promises to you, as I feel that there are many mistakes made on other, casual internet writings that I hope to avoid with mine. They go as follows:
1. I will not be posting extremely personal, embarrassing or incriminating stories. It's tacky. If you want to hear about when I tipped a liter of water onto my keyboard (yes, that really happened) or accidentally called a world leader by the name of another (hasn't happened...yet), you may call me or email me personally. If you are not comfortable with either of those forms of communication, we must not know each other well enough for you to even be legitimately interested in my private life. Bummer.
2. I will attempt to post and update often, but keep my writings relatively short and intimidating. This may have something to do with my pre-pubescent attention span, but I loath reading people's travel blogs where the writer rambles on forever about how their shoes were muddy and their bus was an hour late and I have to skim and scroll for a full five minutes to get the gist. On that note, I will also not include any of those narratives that either have no point, or are not funny in print.
3. This is likely the most important point, as it is likely the most irritating to me, even when reading informal writings. I will attempt to avoid, at all costs, any spelling or grammatical errors, especially, but not limited to, "gonnas", "hahahahahahahs", run-on sentences and or repetitive use of the same word (especially words like "tasty" that are annoying anyway). Yes, I know you probably do not care about this point, but this is my blog and I get to make the rules.
With all this, puns are certainly encouraged, so I'll keep you posted!
