Well here goes nothing....

I am completely new to the blogging world and feel a bit hypocritical starting one after being so terrible at following the blogs of those I love, BUT I'm gonna give it a try. If you don't follow it or hate it or just find it boring, I will not be offended in the least... Just a way for me to put my thoughts and experiences all in one spot so I can stop writing so many emails.

Due to my lack of technical knowledge, it has taken me several days to figure out how to set this all up and get it running. Instead of re-writing my experiences here on my tiny little keyboard, I think I'm just going to copy and paste a few emails I have sent out and hope that works well enough.

A couple of side notes before I begin:

-I'm doing all this from an iPod touch (best gift ever!) so please excuse the lack of punctuation or misspelled words. And run on sentences... That's not because the iPod, it's just how I tend to write out my thoughts.

-Jussi (pronouced you-see) is my Finnish friend I met at the ticket counter in LA. I, at first, could not pronouce his name at all, then thought it was josif and then josic. So scattered in all my emails are all these wrong versions of his name, but they are all the same person. My apologies to Jussi and everyone who is slightly confused.

That is all.
