Hi there

I must simply say, this is my first so-called blog. Yes, that's right - a virgin. Who knew?  So, having only recently given up my blog-ginity (Alright, that wasn't funny.) I find myself as of yet unsure of how exactly I intend to use this, what I intend to post, or even if I'll want to tomorrow.
That being said, I'm glad to be here and I look forward to a wonderful relationship. I think it's always courteous to start off with introductions so let me tell you a little bit about myself. I'm hoping to come up with atleast 50 things about me so come on, let's blog...
