Finally...

First things first -- thanks to my best friend who helped me put up this blog (and did a dry run as well-hehe). It's been ages since I'd been thinking about putting up a blog of my own (since it's one good way to let loose the crazy and sometimes nonesensical thoughts that roam around inside my so-called brain), but, unfortunately, for who-knows-how-long, the plan had remained just that...a plan. It took so long because of several reasons : one was due to the fact that I was so busy; another was I wanted to come up with a cool name for my blog (the name of this blog also is credited to my best friend Gwynnie); and other times was that I was too darn lazy -- everytime I'd log on to Blogger and start the process of putting up a blog, as soon as I start reading the instructions, my brain (as well as my, uh, desire, though I think that's too strong a word) suddenly just gives up. Toink.
But, finally, it's here. And I thought "what do I write as my first official post"? Honestly, I have no idea where this is going. I just thought that it would be fun to start typing away anything and everything that comes to (my co-called) mind.
The process of setting up this blog was interesting to say the least. It finally started in the early morning of January 1, 2007 -- I was at the home of my best bud and her hubby (which is where I always spend my Christmas and New Year's Eve), in the middle of a drinking and poker session (I was the one doing most of the drinking as I, at the end of said drinking session, had managed to consume an entire bottle of Jose Cuervo all by my lonesome)-- Gwynnie, after being the first to loose all her (poker) chips, decided to tinker around with hubby Ld's Mac, and she sat down and finally started doing the thing that I was supposed to have done eons ago (which is to set up this blog). Unfortunately, due to being laced with her fave vodka (hehe), she couldn't remember what she did (I think she forgot the password) and we couldn't access my blog. For the next several days. Until now. (I believe) she put a new account and voila!...actually, it took me several hours before I FINALLY was able to log in. I don't know if it was whether I (still) use dial-up (and am probably the only one left on this planet using the darn thing), or whether it was Blogger or Google or whatever, but it was so frustratingly difficult for me to access my blog account. It took several hours. No kidding. But, finally, I got through. Writing my first blog post. That doesn't really make any sense.
Thanks again, Gwynnie.
'Nuff said.
