A Letter of Introduction

This is actually pasted directly from the About page that I just made, but I feel that it is an appropriate beginning to a blog, and therefore I am doubling it.
Who am I?
My first name is Stephanie, my middle name is Nadine. My mom tells me that I'm named after strong women (not her). She reasons that you can stretch my great-grandmother's name, "Fanny" to be included in "Stephanie" and my middle name is taken, no stretch, from my grandma and big-time hero.
In body, I am 19. In soul, I am beginning to suspect that I'm at least 40. Not only have I recently decided that Bingo and knitting are the best pursuits of my time, but I keep finding myself watching shows with at least one story arc that includes a cougar. I'm reconciling myself with these facts, and I'm just going to deal with it.
Why am I here?
As I am about to enter my second year of University, I'm entering a whole new domain: my own apartment. Moving out of dorms and moving away is going to be very exciting for me, and I'm sure it's going to bring many new challenges. I'm going to be solely responsible for cleaning for myself, cooking for myself, and most importantly - living for myself!
In addition to my personal musings and rants about whatever crosses my mind, I hope to supplant this blog with my ventures into super cool & hip domesticity. I want to watch myself grow up, in short.
Fun Facts, to decide if you'd like to stay:
  • I'm sorry that Alexander McQueen died, but that is no reason for everyone to embrace those shoes that turn women into a human-lobster mutant hybrid.
  • I speak of my dog just as fondly as I speak of my best friend. Teddy is a french toy poodle and he is very opinionated. He also thinks he's the shit when he gets to wear a sweater.
  • I'm currently a government major, but my deepest desire is to be an event planner. If you have any suggestions on how to feed both desires or if you would love to give me a job, I'M OPEN TO IT ALL.
  • A very large part of my  year consists of planning and brainstorming ideas for festivals of whimsical events I put on with my friends called paloozas.
  • I'm a big-time believer in Southern Hospitality.
  • I take a lot of pictures of hamburgers. They're so good, omg.
  • My defensive method in argument is to usually make a seemingly logical argument of lots of things that don't make sense until I leave you dumbfounded. Then I seize my victory.
  • I'm a big believer in books. If I can't have a book to about it from, I don't feel as comfortable proceeding with my plan. It can always be looked up, and you can always find a reference to literature anywhere. I believe knowing the cultural significance of such references is important. Reading between the lines with these things is key to getting the big picture.
  • I'm a mixed baby: white/taiwanese.
  • I'm a musician and I love playing piano. That being said, I'm also a big fan of Weezy.
