Summer Story Warnings

Well, hello Internet!

I am stunned and amazed that anyone was able to find this blog, and if I'm honest, very very excited. Shout out to my German viewer, was not expecting that one, and also my American viewer, who was slightly less unexpected, but still made me refresh the page a few times just to be sure.

I regret to inform you that, once again, you are being subjected to my ramblings.

This time however, there may be something of value hidden in all the waffle, as interesting things have happened in my life since I last posted.

First things first, this will be a multiple-post story. I know it's a little presumptuous to have a multi-post story on such a new blog and still expect people to read it, but the formatting is simply too short to get it all out in one.

Plus it would get super long and word-vomit-y, then I'd start in with the run on sentences, and before you know it, I've got 6 pages of a story no one wants to read.

So, Second things second, the order things will be written in. This summer has been broken down into three very definite and distinctive time periods: Mission Trip, College, and Mountains. This being said, I will try to keep them in said order, although there is no guarantee that they will all take up the same amount of space.

Obviously there is no space to start one of the posts here, but I'm very excited about telling people about this, so I may post the first part tomorrow.

Hey everyone! This is, well, obviously its Layla. Unimportant. What is important, is the first ever post on this blog! So if you were hoping for an hour long novel-length spiel on my (totally fake) name, well, I'm sorry to disappoint you. That last part was a lie. I'm not sorry. I laugh at your disappointment.

So, down to business. If this blog isn't about my (still totally fake) name, then what is it about?

The answer: The rest of my life (sort of).

I like to think I'm at least slightly interesting, but for some, unknown, ephemeral reason, I am the world's most awkward person, and lack the skills to tell anyone anything of interest.

Much like when people ask you what your favorite movie is, and you want to say something cool like Avengers, or Spider-Man Homecoming (Spoiler Alert: I'm a huge geek), but the only movie you can remember is The Princess Bride. Given, the Princess Bride is a fantastic movie, and possibly the most quotable thing ever produced, but I'd like to be able to relate to my peers at least somewhat.

So, instead of continuing to publicly embarrass myself in front of other people, I have decided to leave it to you, the people of the internet, to decide whether or not this is any good.

I should update at least once every 3-7 days, but I'm super spacey, so that could get inconsistent at some point. Just send me an email or something if you're that interested.

Layla Out.
