My First Blog =)

So, I've decided that I want to do BEDA. Some of my friends are doing it, and I thought it'd be fun to try it. Even though I'm 10 days behind. Hopefully I can make up for the days I've missed. Or maybe not. I don't know. I've actually never blogged before, because I'm not good at writing long posts, or any long article for that matter. I have a very scattered mind, and tend to jump from one subject to another, so most of the time things I write are very confusing. But hopefully this blog help me organize my thoughts a bit. =)
Right now I'm talking to Gerarda , whom by the way is the reason why I'm blogging right now. If it weren't for her I'd still be trying to come up with an address for this blog, or just staring at pictures of VW Beetles, which I am obsessed with. Especially yellow beetles. I love yellow beetles. They are the cutest cars I've ever seen.<3But yeah, anyway. This morning I finished reading Girl with a Pearl Erring by Tracy Chevalier, and I loved it. It was an amazing book and a very quick read. I finished it in about two hours. It's so interesting that a book that was just mostly thoughts of a girl could be so interesting, but it was. I don't think I was ever bored reading the book. And now I'm wondering, was the real Vermeer (Artist who painted Girl with a Pearl Earring) was anything like his character in the book. Was the story behind the real painting anything close to the events of the book. And now I realized that I might be confusing some people. I should have mentioned this earlier, but the book is a fictional story of how the IRL artist Johannes Vermeer came to paint the portrait of the Girl with a Pearl Earring, from the girl's point of view, who may not even have existed in real life. So it's a mix of real people and fictional ones. It was an amazing book, but I've already said that before. =) Everyone should go get/borrow the book right now. Well, not right now. You should finish reading my blog first. And now I'm rambling again. . I think I'll end this here. I'll write another blog tonight, if anything interesting happens by then. Hopefully my first post was not too boring. I promise I'll find better things to blog about next time. I’ll see you then. =)

Lol, I know what you mean about rambling! I don't think I switch topics that often, but I do ramble quite a bit about the same topic a lot. XD Anyway, that book you read sounds really interesting! =) I'm glad you liked it. Can't wait to read more of your blogs!
