This is it!
Hello everyone!
At first, I had written out this long explanation of what I wanted from myself and others through this journal, I even had a list of rules that I was going to follow. But, I dumped it all and decided to just be open from the beginning and let what comes out come out. This is my journal, and I welcome all who wish to take a glimpse into my life and how I view the world. To give you better understanding of my life by giving you a short cast of characters in the movie that is my everyday life.
First, there's me, Adam. I'm a 20 year old single nobody with no real ambition to accomplish anything. I consider myself to be quite lazy but inteligent and sensitive. I do have a bit of a memory problem and I may have a very short attention span or slight attention defecit disorder, but I guess that's what makes me unique. I'm an EOU college student who lives in La Grande, Oregon, 9 months out of the year only to be able to spend 3 at home with my family in Hillsboro, Oregon, just west of Portland. I'll explain my other friends in more detail as the journal entries pile up in the next few weeks, but I'll give you a quick run down- Elizabeth (Liz) is my most recent ex-girlfriend. We don't speak to each other anymore. Ava is a girl who fights thousands of battles a day. She came to know me recently through the net, and we've developed a good friendship that I hope will last for a long while. I have her to thank for getting me this journal (THANKS AGAIN!), and I hope I don't let her down. Bryan is my best friend, although we've grown apart. He lives in Hillsboro, and all he ever does is goof with his computer. No job, no education (Has yet to get his GED), no life and parents who don't care. If anyone has less ambition than me, it's him. Still a great fellow though. Crystal is the sweetest thing on this earth. We barely knew each other back in high school, and we didn't really talk at all. But, somehow, we've become each other's savior and talk all the time. If it weren't for her, I would not have gotten over Liz dumping me and I hope I can return the favor with her latest crisis. My college buddies are the coolest. There's Stephanie, Garhan, Christine, Aaron, my roommate Carl, Cynthia, Michelle, Rachel, Bill, another guy named Adam, Dan, and a whole host of others. My family is great. My folks are the typical married couple who still live together at home and love each other more every day...I hope. My little 17 year old brother is a cool guy, although he's hard to work with. Has a mind of his own and questions authority a lot. Typical rebelious teenager. My 25 year old sister is the best, she's so funny and seems to love life and is so vocal. I miss them all. Being 300 miles east of everyone I grew up with for 9 months out of the year is harder than I imagined. Might as well be a million miles. Doesn't make them any closer.
Well, there you have it. The beginning of my journal. As the months and years go on, I hope you all share in my joy and pain. People will come and go from here, and one day this entry will be obsolete. I'll do my best to keep what's private private, and that begins with me not mentioning last names or specific locations of anyone I talk about. I'm also going to ask that no one should read this unless you were invited or just found it on the web and don't know who we are. So, to my friends whom i trust enough to read my personal thoughts, lets keep everything here between us, ok?? Thanks. hmm...I wonder if this journal will make people feel less alone. Like there's another angst ridden post-teen out there. Well, I hope you, the reader, will enjoy this as much as I hope I will. Only time will tell! Let's see what this Rabbit can do...
