First Entry

I have too many thoughts. So why not write some of them down?

I'm currently a freshman at Hunter college in New York City. I'm 18 years old and as of yet have not moved out of my parents house (I know, what's wrong with me?) 

I'm not quite sure what I'm doing writing a blog. All I know is that writing is healthy, right? And lately I've been thinking too much. Sometimes on things that happened months ago (even years ago!) That's not normal, is it? But I figure if I get some of my thoughts out, my head won't be as crammed up with nonsense.

Oh, and I normally don't fall asleep at night. Because I really can't. And my friend told me I dwell too much yesterday (after I mentioned how I couldn't stop thinking about something very insignificant). So that's where the name comes from. 

And I can't get Taylor Swift out of my head. But I don't care. She has really relatable lyrics.
But I won't get started on that now. I should use my time wisely and studio for my media final exam. But actually studying is what brought me to create this blog (let me show you how this happened chromatically)

I'm studing the Larry Flint vs. Jerry Fallwell case out of my textbook. I decide to lookup Jerry Fallwell online. Get enraged that a human like him ever existed. I look up evangelism on wikipedia (there's a link on his wikipedia bio). Then look up fundamentalism (didn't know there was a difference between that and evangelism). Then become more disgusted with humanity and intolerant religious people. Well, just intolerance in general. And then I decide I have too many opinions. I then try to distract myself with PostSecret. Realize it would be cool to start a blog with all my random musings. 

And there you have it. How Jerry Fallwell is the cause of this blog.
