Introduction

     Let me start with a brief introduction. My name is Maddie. I'm a teenager, months from the beginning of high school, and my URL is actually the worst I've seen in a while. Bear with me; it's 11:42, I'm evading my mother's notice as best I can, and I'm really, really tired. But also really, really bored. And since falling asleep didn't seem to be much of an option and I had just seconds before been scrolling through a talented friend's blog, it seemed fitting to try to quench my boredom this way. By setting up a blog. That's what kids in my generation do when they're bored--they set up blogs and promptly forget to update them. Hopefully that won't happen in this case.

     I still haven't really explained who I am, though, so let me get back to that. I turned fourteen about...three weeks ago, was it? My best friend's birthday is tomorrow and tomorrow night I leave for South Carolina for Memorial Day Weekend. I go to middle school currently, as you probably deduced after reading the second sentence. I don't live in Rosemont but I love it there, and wish I was there. (For the sake of anonymity and because I'm rather cautious, I won't give out my location on this site--notice I didn't specify beyond "South Carolina" earlier.) So, in that sense, my URL isn't total idiocy. 

     I with my parents, my guinea pig, my bunny, and my cat in a small suburb of one of the United States's largest, most important cities. I go to school with a bunch of weirdos and also lots of cockroaches. Yes, public school--how did you guess? I'm part of my school's application-only humanities magnet program, and I love it, though I'll be leaving it soon. 

     I just realized how little sense these past three paragraphs have made. I really, sincerely hope that any posts I write and publish in the future are a little less jumbled and a little more straightforward. But now it's 11:50 and I really am tired and unfortunately (for now, at least), this blog is more boring than falling asleep. That's okay, though. I'm pretty sure I'll be back.
