A Fascination With Skunks

I've been debating on starting a blog for a looong time now. But then, everyone started a blog and I definitely did not want to jump on the bandwagon. But now, I feel like I have so much to say and opinions to express, that my journal isn't enough. and since I just moved, I don't want to scare my new friends away with my crazy cynical opinions and so on.

So moving on-if you hadn't noticed I am Mormon, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It's great, I love it, I believe it and that will never change. What bothers me is the people I get to associate with. Sometimes the things I hear really make my eye twitch, so I'm sure I'll discuss those times here, even if some readers don't understand (if there ever will be readers).

When someone asks "Whats your favorite animal?" I always respond "Skunks!" But they weren't always my favorite animal. For most of my life my response was dogs, in the 6th grade it was gorillas and in the beginning of 8th grade it was frogs. It wasn't until my family moved, during my 8th grade year that I changed it to skunks. My reasons being: I was the new girl, I wanted to be different, and I thought a skunk would be a perfect answer: they are sooo cute, very calm unless provoked (just like me), and misunderstood.

So that kinda explains the name I chose for Bloggers: MormonSkunk. I am strong in my faith, yet my opinions and outlooks on reality are a tad different then most. I am different.

Hmmm, I think that is enough for an intro blog. Im sure I'll update and go into more detail about my life later. some stuff is going on in my life/brain that is driving me crazy!

Ciao!
