first post ever.....

If I happened to be an overly enthusiastic, jump up and down type of person, I'd probably be dancing on my desk chair right now with excitement at the prospect and surprise, that I, Salsa Picante Chicken, am starting my very first blog.
However, since I tend to be slightly more guarded in my displays of excitement, I have decided to merely take a deep breath and dive in, trying not to overthink too much about what I'm writing.
Ok I'm going to be brutally upfront and honest...I am a little scared to start into this hyped up world of blogging. I suppose it's coming down to my infamous commitment issues whispering their usual misgivings...I know it sounds pathetic, but I never thought that staring at a blank text box on the brink of of my blogging career would give me the same cynical knot in my stomach that plagues me at the prospect of getting into a relationship.
When it comes down to it, I think I am either a) worried about not having enough time to keep up this blog like I want to, since I'm so busy with school b) become so stressed with all my writing classes I will start viewing this blog as homework, or (the biggest and most unfounded fear of all) c) I discover I am a horrible blogger.

All these are reasons why this first post is truly such a big moment for me...if you can't tell by now, I tend to overthink EVERYTHING, a not-so-great quality that usually comes back to haunt me in the form of severe paralysis. This is why, although I am an English major, I have never been able to keep a journal. I am simply terrified to start because I may fail miserably. Or I put it off thinking I will start it at a time when I'm less busy.

So here I am in the midst of all my homework and busyness putting in my first set of two cents into the Ramen Noodles blog (albeit very boring two cents. I apologize.) And because of it, I have come to a conclusiong.
Starting a blog, or any writing for that matter, is kinda like pulling off a bandaid.
Or diving into a cold pool.
Or auditioning for a play.
Or kissing someone for the first time.

There is no sense waiting for the "perfect time". You just have to do it, put yourself out there, and hope for the best. And I'm not going to lie...I'm already having fun with it.

So I'm sorry this first entry is boring and not very clever (I've had a whole weekend filled of homework and I'm a little tired)...but it's done! and that's all that counts for now.

Yours truly,
SalsaPicanteChicken~
