The Obligatory Introduction

I am writer and I guess I've always been though I still have trouble calling myself one. Even though I've been told my stories and screenplays are good and that I have a knack for writing, my brain stalls and I stutter out "Oh, umm, well yeah I'm a writer, I guess." Either way, I figured writing and keeping a blog would be a good writing exercise and help me hone my skills. And maybe, if I'm lucky, it'll help me get out the constant swirling thoughts that bounce back and forth in my head like a psychotic ping-pong ball.

This blog is going to be about everything and nothing. One post will be deep and introspective while others will probably consist of me rambling on and on about why I love Jersey Boys or harping on the shitty music of today and probably whining that I wished I lived in a different era.

So--an introduction:

My long-ass name that no one can pronounce or spell is Adelina. It's a nice Italian name, very unique and in honor of my late grandmother so I love it. But, I tell everyone to call me Addie. Either way, there is no one who has my name so I can still revel in the uniqueness of it. The only downfall is that I can never buy those personalized name things you find in souvenir shops so I'm usually stuck with "#1 Kid" or "Awesome." Barring that, I'm proud of the Italian-ness of my name. I love movies, music, reading and writing. I like anything that takes me away into another world for a while. That's why I sometimes wish I could live in a movie theater.

I guess that's it for now.

Stay tuned for more musings and random thoughts!
