Oh, snap! First blog entry!

Well, here it goes...my first blog entry. It took me a while to figure out what to write. I mean, this is kind of a monumental moment. But then I realized that in reality, no one is ACTUALLY going to read this, so it doesn't really matter what I write about. I could write about the ice and snow that is rapidly melting on the sidewalks of Westerville, OH if I really wanted to. Of course, I don't really want to write about that...I don't really WANT to write about anything, actually. I just...kind of need to. Write, that is. I don't know why, maybe it's kind of like the need to write in a diary or journal, or go to a therapist and talk about your day, it's just kind of an unexplainable need.
Not that anything particularly exciting happens on a day-to-day basis in my life. In fact, right now I'm just sitting in a coffee shop sipping on a caramel latte. I KNOW, I need to calm down, right? I need to stop my shenanigans because I'm getting a little out of hand. Seriously though, this is a really sweet coffee shop. It's called Serendipity and it's in UpTown Westerville in the middle of Otterbein College's campus. It's only a short walk from my dorm and they serve great coffee and sandwiches and even ice cream, which is like my favorite thing ever, so naturally I love this place. The tabletops are made of blank CDs and there's a suit of armor in the corner wearing a Flavor-Flav-esque hat and an apron. The fact that I don't find that strange says everything about my personality.
My favorite part about Serendipity, though, is when they collaborate with Otterbein to host Open Mic nights. There's some pretty talented people in this area and to be honest walking down here late at night and listening to some live music while drinking a coffee is way more fun to me than going to some fraternity house and getting wasted. I just don't find any appeal in alcohol. I mean, why do people enjoy losing all control of themselves? I'd rather remember the fun I had the night before, thank you very much. Oh well, maybe my perspective will change when I turn 21 and can actually go to bars and such...I doubt it though. I'll probably still be frequenting places like Serendipity. After all, bars don't have ice cream :)
