"You Had Me at Hello"...Well, Hopefully.

Okay, here is it. After spending hours deciding on a name, getting acquainted with the platform, rewritting the "About Me" blurb and making pages for my favorite books, movies and TV shows, I'm finally writing my first post. My first steps into the blogging world are about to commence.

When I signed up for a class in New Media during my last semester at BU, I probably should have guessed that I'd have to write a blog. When it was eventually assigned, I had two thoughts: 1) What on Earth am I going to write about and 2) who on Earth will care or be interested in what I'm writing?

The first question was easier to answer than I expected. As I talk about in that "About Me" blurb I spent too much time on (which really isn't that spectacular because I eventually realized most people won't even look at it), I landed on the most obvious topic choice for this self-professed EW.com addict: pop-culture. I always say to my roomates that if I could only get rid of the thousands of useless book and movie trivia/quotes that are residing in my head, I'd have a lot more room for the things I'm actually required to learn for class. Or, I can just channel it all into this blog.

The second question, asking myself who on Earth will care what I have to say about pop-culture, isn't as easily answered. Maybe it will only be my friends and family, who will be forced to at least pretend to read and comment on my blog so that I can get a good grade on this project (hint hint). But even if it is just those people who already (supposedly) find me interesting, at least I know it will be easy to write.

So here it begins, my journey into the blogosphere. Prepare for my random musings on my favorite (and not-so-favorite) books, movies and TV shows, and of course, various other thoughts on the latest news and current trends in the world of pop-culture.
