Happy New Year!!!!

Hello everyone, I'm Carissa and I am the blogger for fridays. I have been going over and over in my head what I was going to write about in the first ever RotN blog post. So much pressure! I thought I would just wing it, which is probably a bad idea. I may or may not be writing this during commercial breaks for the 44 hour marathon of Doctor Who on BBC America (that I am uber excited about). 

I should probably mention some things about me, so here are some basic facts. I’m 22 years old (my birthday is June 15th). I currently live in Pennsylvania, USA, although I was born in Florida. I love doctor who it is my addiction. I love reading (who doesn’t?) I have a major fear of praying mantises and stinkbugs (to the point where if I see one I refuse to be in the same room as it). My animal is the owl; I love them even though they are considered bad luck.

So how was everyone’s' new years eve? Mine was pretty uneventful. I went out to dinner with my cousins and then played a couple of rounds of golf (a cards game) and then watched Alice (the SYFY mini series) till midnight with my sister and my “adopted” sister, so pretty uneventful. About two years ago I did the New Years eve in Times Square, NYC. It was fun but i'll probably never do that again. We stood out in Times Square from 11am to midnight. The LONGEST DAY EVER!!! Plus they don't let you leave so….. I'll let you imagine. But we did get pizza delivered to Times Square which was awesome!

With every new year people make new years resolutions and I am not an exception. But my idea of resolutions has changed over the years. As a kid it was to be nicer to my little sister, convince my parents to let me get another dog or become more outgoing. But now my resolutions are things like; lose weight, read 100 books by 2011, and study harder in classes. I miss the old kid days where ones biggest concern was being sadly picked to be an octopus in the school play instead of the princess, or being the last one to the four square game at recess. What are some of your new years resolutions?

Girls I can’t wait to see everyone’s post here on the blog. I can’t wait to learn more about everyone and improve on my lack of blogging skills.

 I wish you all the Best in 2010!
