Greetings.

Why, hello, blogging world.

My mom and I have created this blog together, mostly because I've been begging her to start one for a while now. We're not exactly sure how it's going to work, but my idea is that twice a month, we'll pick a topic and both blog about it - see how we contrast on different ideas, etc - but we'll also each post on our own, about life, happiness, chocolate, and other good things like that.

So, a bit of an introduction.

I'm Samantha. I love many things, but at the moment, am truly passionate about writing, psychology, photography and music. I am constantly in search of new, good music, and will try almost anything out except rap and heavy-metal-screamo, so suggestions are always welcome. I'm learning guitar - slowly, verrrrrry slowly, love to write lyrics, and hope to someday, somehow, be involved in the music industry - wether it be through a band or in the studio or as a reporter. I adore writing in general - poetry, novels, short stories, essays, lyrics, I write them all, as well as reading (I love finding new books - suggestions welcome, again). I'm a triathlete-in-training, and will be participating in my first (sprint) triathlon in August. I'm a homeschooled Catholic (oh, yes, let all the stereotypes rain down!), and love it.

I think that's about it.

Maybe I can get my mother to post an intro about herself sometime soon... we'll see how it goes.
