My Epic First Post...

So I've been putting off writing my first blog post because I wanted it to be something really epic and awesome, ya know?  But then I realized that my life isn't exciting enough to post anything like that, so my first post is going to be about 4-5 sentences long.

"Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia"... anyone know what this is the fear of? Ironically (epically so...) it's the fear of long words!

That's it. My Epic First Post.

(PS: I'm committing [tentatively] to updating at least once a week... we'll see how long that commitment lasts for. Ha.)
Here is what I wrote originally as the description for my blog... it was so good that I didn't want to delete it. So instead I just edited it into my first entry:
So I've finally bit the bullet and caved in.  I, Becca Whynacht, have a blog.  I've come to notice that, overall,  the western world has this mindset that what we have to say is important and it needs to be heard, NOW.  And, though I'm not quite of that thinking, I do believe that I have a few valid things that I would like to share with whomever would like to listen to me.
Before you start reading my blogs, it may be helpful to know a few things about me as a pretext to why I think what I do:
1) I am a Christ-follower (I will tend to use that word, as the word "Christian" has a very bad connotation attached to it).  I believe in the One True God and try to live my life accordingly, though I don't always succeed in doing so. 
2) I have had my ups and downs in life.  I may only be in my early twenties, but my life experience is beyond that (as I've come to accept and have been told by many others, including my psychologist and counselors).  So although by the world's standards I'm still just a "youngster" with little life experience and a lot to learn (which I agree with, I like learning), I know a fair bit more than the average person my age.
3) People who complain drive me up a wall and therefore I will try not to use this as a place for me to rant or complain about the world at large.  I want this to be a place for me to creatively express my ideas about the world around me.
4) I am an aspiring writer, and therefore may post snippets of my hopeful books on here... (fyi: You copy my work and I will hunt you down and tear your spleen out with a spoon; k?)

Well, I believe that's all... You'll learn more as you read the random thoughts that I record on here.

Happy Reading!
