First Entry

INTRODUCTION
This is my very first entry, and so I shall be brief and to the point.*

Who:
-I am a 23 year old college student from the twin cities area of Minnesota. I consider one of my greatest accomplishments to be the fact that I have studied abroad on 3 (soon to be 4) continents. I also make a mean shoe-tyer, although I still have troubles with left and right.
-I have two housemates, both females like myself. We've been friends for years, so we fight over little things like dishes but are there for each other on the important things like moving dead bodies. Or at least making the attempt (we will move the fish out of the freezer soon... how can it have been two years already?)

What:
-See Allie. See Allie blog. Blog Allie blog!

Where:
-I labeled this blog "The Trophy Room" because I am writing it from that very spot. We call it the trophy room because we have a wall dedicated to housing men's clothing that we have acquired from honest trickery. This happens to be the room I live in, and also our living room. We have a very special living arrangement.

Why:
-I am writing this blog because I have this noble (which too often comes hand in hand with foolish) plan to write a novel (in a month) and get it published (in a year).

When:
-Whenever I can, and whenever there is something relevant to add.

How:
-The first computer I ever built. It has pretty green LED lights, and more importantly, it can play games!

CONCLUSION
Thank you for reading and I hope that this proves to be an interesting place to interact. Please always feel free to post insight and advice. I am new to this and would certainly appreciate it!

Be forewarned, though, it may not always be so. You tread into dangerous territory here, because my destination is uncertain. I'm happy to drag you along with me, but I want you to be clear on that one point - I can be a rambler. I can only promise that I shall try to stay to the course, but sometimes I row towards the rocks. Curiosity is a deadly device.
