Blog Entry 1

Hello. Ok simple enough. I'm Lindy Thomas and this is my story. My story is not a sappy, cliche love story that ends in me riding off into the sunset with my dashing Prince Charming. Ok........ It sort of is because Chris is just a dorkity dork about that kind of stuff, and I made him watch many Nicholas Sparks movies. More importantly my story is the story of my me coming to know myself through my "Prince Charming". I don't even know why I'm posting this to a blog. Maybe it's because my life used to be horrible. Maybe it's because I want to give Christopher some recognition. Maybe I want to help people who went through or are going through what I went through. Well whatever the reason here it goes.....

If I'm gonna tell you this right I suppose I'll start from the beginning.

On May 21st I emerged from my mother's womb......... Ok maybe that's too early. How about we start at the beginning of my junior year and I'll tell you about the beginning in my next couple entries.

I was without a doubt the smartest girl in my class. I was also quite popular. I always made an effort to keep my petite frame well dressed and well petite. My honey blonde locks were always done perfectly. I was student body president, president of the art club, leader of the debate team, teaching aid at the local kindergarten class, and president and participant in many other school clubs and teams. I maintained a 4.2 gpa, and I loved it. All of these challenges gave me a rush. All of the teachers loved me, and everyone knew my name. They knew I had quite a future ahead of me.

I never could quite get my head around all of it because to me it was all fun. I never considered volunteering at the Senior Center a chore. I loved to study, and good grades were my drug. Despite all of my successes, I've always had this feeling of failure in the back of my mind.

Failure was never an option. Perfection was the only way to do anything.

This is my flaw. My one impediment that would be my destruction.

I was sitting on a ticking time bomb, and I was too proud to move.

Thus began the swirling vortex of terror.
