I am in love. In love with words. Even more, I am in love with books and people who write them. Any fellow word-lover is a friend of mine! (And all those non word-lovers are welcome too, I suppose.) If you fall into either one of these categories, read on! In addition to the current goings-on of my everyday collegiate life, I'll be posting the findings of my reading adventures. Books, short stories, poems, quotes from my favorite authors, you can find it all here.
I should also probably explain the first half of my title. I have a love-hate relationship with the wonderful world of running. The thrill, the endorphins, the pain, it's all a permanent part of my existence. Some think I am crazy. But I know that I cannot live without my old running shoes and an open road.
Friends, family, citizens of Blog Land, you are all welcome here! Enjoy!
AHHH JACKIE IS A FELLOW BLOGGER!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited. This is such a surprise. It's not like we hassled you or anything.
And Abby might have taken your disciple virginity, but I'm taking your post virginity!
and p.s. People do think you are cray cray about running. TRUE FACT

NO RUNNING, JUST SWIMMING AND YOGA TO OIL ALL THAT METAL! NOW I RUN VIRTUALLY WITH YOU AND YOUR DREAMS. READING...AHHHH...NOW THAT'S SOMETHING WE REALLY HAVE IN COMMON. AS AN ASPIRING ENGLISH TEACHER IN MY FIRST (AND ONLY) YEAR IN COLLAGE, SPELLING, WONDERFUL PROSE, PUNCTUATION, ETC.,WERE AND ARE MY PASSION. I STILL LOVE TO TAKE A SENTENCE APART. LOVE YOU, JAC, YOUR BUBI
