It was either that or, "My goodness don't you look wonderful today!" and as I have never seen any of you, I can't make that statement.  That is not to say that you don't look wonderful today, as I'm sure you do.  I just thought for my first post it would be nice to start off by saying hello.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first thing you probably want to know about me is my name.  I would give it to you, but then I'd have to kill you.  So why don't you all just call me Rose?  Yes, I know it sounds ubber girly, and that probably will turn many of you off, but I like the name, always have and always will. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would talk about more in this post, such as favorite movie, or favorite book or something like that, so you can get to know me, but I want to save those topics for full length entries into this blog. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing you should probably know about this blog though, is that I will probably discuss my personal life, and I should warn you, it can sometimes be boring.  I'm a college freshman, who's best friend lives in Texas, and who has no boyfriend to speak of (and has in fact, never had a boyfriend.  How pathetic is that?)  So, I'll probably just be talking about those basic subjects.  I will however blog about my favorite things, as I mentioned before, and I will also talk about some current events, including the upcoming Presidential election.  OBAMA '08!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yeah, that's what this blog will be.  Hopefully you don't all get too bored with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;hearts; Rose&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5205652378912849547-2299370140803774559?l=maskedrose.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskedrose.blogspot.com/feeds/2299370140803774559/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5205652378912849547&amp;postID=2299370140803774559' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5205652378912849547/posts/default/2299370140803774559'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5205652378912849547/posts/default/2299370140803774559'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskedrose.blogspot.com/2008/09/to-begin-with.html' title='To begin with'/><author><name>Rose</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16559901021885419548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Iep5S4rdXC4/SLyWMB_EkVI/AAAAAAAAAAM/QzwA8VzGBp8/s1600-R/mereading2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
