Starting a blog

Ok!  I am new to blogging and I thought I would give it a try.  I need to learn to better express myself and hope to learn new and exciting words.  Won't you join me in my quest for knowledge?  I would like to discover new things about me and the world that we live in.  When I was in school, I only had one goal.  I planned on marrying and having a family.  It's funny how things turn out sometimes.  I loved a guy in high school and we planned to be married.  But!  I was also a rebel, who was always looking for something exciting and new.   My boyfriend had moved to Georgia during my senior year and we still planned on getting married but after graduation, things started to change.  I discovered how fun it was to go dancing and drinking every night.  Me and my friends would go to the beach clubs like Gringos and the Fiesta.  I could dance all night.  I can tell you that the summer after graduation and up until November was the most exciting time of my life.  Not only the partying, but one of my best friends' mother was a Press Agent for Gerald Blessey who was running for congress at that time. I was attending beautician school and soon became involved with the campaign.  Soon I was spending all my time with the campaign and dropped out of school.  I had so much fun doing this and got to meet many exciting people.  Gerald introduced me to Jimmy Carter and many new and exciting people. I will never forget that day.  I was working the campaign and Jimmy was coming for a fundraiser at the Sheraton.  My duty was to answer any incoming calls that they had set up a phone line in one of the rooms for.  It was in back of the banquet room Carter was speaking in.  I had my door open, but security said they had to close it for Carter to go down the hall to the dinner.  My security had not been cleared.  Next thing I know they are putting a journalist in the room with me.  Evidently he hadn't been cleared either.  Now here I am, just turned eighteen, in a hotel room with a man I did not know.  First thing he does is plop down on the bed and starts looking for porn movies on the TV.  I totally freaked.  I opened the door and peaked out.  Carter had just been through so I was free to get out.  I hightailed it out of there as fast as I could.  I went up front to wait with the crowds for the dinner to be over.  When Gerald and Carter passed me, Gerald stopped and introduced me to him.  That was the highlight of my year.  During the campaign, I attended fish frys, after parties at the Blesseys, and even a private coctail party at Jerry Okeefes.  I thought I would be all grown up and order me a martini at the oepn bar.  The bartender said, are you sure you want one?  I said, of course I want one, trying to be all cool.  He said, well OK kind of hesitantly.  I took a big sip and about spit it all over him.  He laughed at me.  I tried to pretend that it was good, but the first chance I got I left it somewhere. I had a blast working the campagin.  After the election, which Gerald lost, I ended up one day packing my car and heading for Georgia.  Now that's another story.
