First Post

I remember the first time I tried to write a blog, well actually at the time it was a Live Journal, but it was after I read the book Love and Other Four-Letter Words way back in 2002. I've always loved to read and I am very easily influenced so after reading this book I wanted to copy the girl in the story and make a live journal using her email address which was "mariposa". (I think I remember the girl naming her bicycle "mariposa" and that is why it was her email address.. but I could be wrong). Mariposa is the Spanish word for butterfly. Anyway ever since then I've always loved the word so I thought it would be the perfect title for my 2nd attempt at starting a blog.
