Who I Am

Ah, procrastination is fun. So now that I’m done doing that, I shall begin my plight to take over the world via internet domination.

And by that I mean that all the cool kids have blogs, so I felt I should make one too. Basically I feel as though I need some type of outlet to ramble without annoying people. Not to mention, I’m pretty sure my English major skills are rapidly deteriorating due to the fact that I never write anything other than work-related items.

So there you have it. Blog time. (P.S. I’m trying to convince a fellow English major buddy to become a contributor to my blog. Because what kind of blog would I be if I didn’t have a contributor? That just makes me sound cool).

First off, an introduction. I am Leslie, slayer of masculinity. Basically the name has nothing to do with anything other than being funny. It came about because I asked my older sister what to name my blog. She suggested that and BAM! Why not name my blog the first thing anyone mentioned? Works for me.

I enjoy the following things: Books, smoothies, puppies, vodka, cheesy reality television, sarcasm, and the word awesome. At this point my life includes a newfound love of fitness, healthy eating, running and happiness. I tend to have wacky adventures and basically consider myself to be the American and real life version of Bridget Jones (read: perpetually single) and thus a blog is born.

Two years ago I graduated college and currently I am living and working in a profession that is related to my major, which I consider an accomplishment in itself. In those two years I have also proceeded to lose about 60 pounds through adopting a healthier lifestyle. I’m shooting for 40 more cause I want to be one of those people who brags about losing 100 pounds—triple digits seem fun. Also, I fear that I am starting to annoy family and friends. You know those people who go on a diet (I’m not on a diet, I hate diets and have tried all of them, but more on that later) and then never talk about anything else? I don’t want to be that girl. Lucky for me there is this thing called the internet…

In addition, I am single. Very much so. I’m pretty sure I’m going to be single until I’m about 90 and I am mostly okay with that. Though I’ve recently been considering joining an online dating website, but that’s mostly just insanity talking. I never wanted to be with someone just to avoid being alone, and so far that has led to me being alone. In recent days I have been asked repeatedly why I don't have a man as if I'm approaching
spinster status at the age of 23. That's fun. Read on, dear blog readers! (And by that I mean the three people I’ve told about my blog so far. You all rock!)
