About me (ish)

My story, so far...

My name is Julia and I come from a town of less than 2000 people where there are more cows than human beings, so as you can probably tell my life is pretty uneventful. I made this blog just because I have a lot going on inside my head that, unfortunately, I never feel confident enough to talk about out loud, so I figured this was the easiest way to get my thoughts out without having to physically say them. Now to address this whole 'about me' thing.. I love plants, the rain, and that little crease people get by their eyes when they smile. Most importantly, I'm a terrible writer (so making a blog probably wasn't the best choice, but what the heck I'm gonna do it anyways). I am infatuated by the idea of reading, and notice how I specifically chose the word 'idea' because I can hardly ever find the time to do it. And finally, I consider myself the human Lorax as I am the 'speaker of the trees' and an environmental freak. In 6th grade, instead of hanging out with my friends, I would stay home and watch documentaries on the ocean and rain forests, telling my parents I was 'doing research'. In short, I'm a miserable high-schooler, with way too many cacti in her bedroom for one girl, looking for a way to say what I need to say without really saying it.
