Well, last night my friend Jessica and I were talking on the phone (typical length of conversation: three hours) and I suggested that she start a blog. She's a frustrated writer who needs a forum for her ideas and I thought this would be something she would enjoy. And this morning I had some time off work, so I was messing around on the net. I went to Sarah Dessen's blog and then to Lauren Winner's blog, and I thought, "Hmm. This might be fun." So I just signed myself up. And I don't know if anyone will ever read this, but I'm putting my thoughts down for the world to see anyway.
Some things about me: I'm a recent college graduate with a degree in music that I don't use; I work at a bookstore and read about a thousand books a month; I drive a 92 Buick Roadmaster named "The Beast;" I live with another girl (the ever-patient Danielle) just so I can make rent; speaking of Rent, I'm completely obsessed with that show and I can't wait till November when the movie comes out; I volunteer with the youth group at my church, which is about the most worthwhile thing I do with my life.
I like books, movies, TV and especially music. I seriously could talk about music with anyone. Actually, I do talk about music to anyone who will listen. In my CD player right now is David Gray's New Day at Midnight. It's good (of course, this is David Gray we're talking about.) My friend, Trey thinks that it's not as good as White Ladder and I agree, but it's still a stong album musically. It makes my heart beat and it puts a smile on my face when I need one.
The latest book I finished was Real Sex: the Naked Truth About Chastity by Lauren Winner. (In my head I always called it "The Sex Book I'm Reading," but that's trivializing it.) I know I already mentioned her once in this post, and I would highly recommend anything that she has written. She truly speaks for this generation. Also good is her memoir, Girl Meets God. She has lots of good things to say about living a messy faith, and I epecially like reading that there is someone else in this world who's friends are all getting married and having babies and she's (I'm)... not.
The last movie I saw was Red Eye, with Rachel McAdams and that creepy scary man, Cillian Murphy. It was good- not the definitive movie that changed my life forever (that was Lord of the Rings) but it was a solid end-of-the-summer action thriller. I personally think that Cillian Murphy is the most frightening man I've ever seen on screen. Anyone catch 28 Days Later? Yeah. And he was the protagonist in that. He's so beautiful, but it's like putting your little brother's face on Freddy Kruegger. Not that I have a little brother, but still. By the way, my ever-patient roommate, Danielle (who went to see the movie with me) spied a Rent poster in the hallway of the movie theater and we spent several minutes analyzing every detail of it. Seeing that poster was almost as good as watching the movie we had just watched.
This has gotten to be an awfully long post, especially for my first one. I'll have to save my discussion of the television shows I watch for another time (Lost, Alias, Veronica Mars, House, and Everwood.) I'm sure that you won't be able to sleep for looking forward to my "incendiary wit" (that's a phrase from Rent. I'm telling you, obsession.) Till then,
Brianne

Well, I came!!
And as you can see, I also took your advice. I'm starting my own blog as well. And just so you know, you cracked me up as usual. BTW, you're now added to my favorites. You'll have to check mine out...once I actually write something worth reading. ;)
