Yes, I am copying. But for the simple reason that everyone has this great idea of making a blog. (Though I will still send you e-mails, mom).
The purpose is concealed in the name. Yes, it is elvish, and yes, that is not a real language. But say the name ("Estelwen Narn") and perhaps you'll understand why I chose it. Tolkien was ingenious. Estelwen Narn (in case you do not know) means "story of hope," which for me has two meanings. The most obvious would be its telling you that these stories will hopefully be encouraging. But they are also my stories, and as my middle name is Hope, I thought it was appropiate. Thus begins my journey, and I hope you enjoy reading it.
I lost my car key Thursday night. I was on campus and somehow, in the middle of walking to or from class, the key slipped off its ring. I found some friends and a couple security came over and we searched for two hours. Nothing. The next morning, my toe itched.
Now, I know what you must be thinking. It's October. You were bit? Well, yes, it is October, but yes, I was bit (we have flowers blooming too). Not by just any bug, but by an ant. And, in my belief, a fire ant. I had forgotten the hundreds of little ant homes that decorate our campus lawns. And my foot, in a flip-flop, walking in the grass at 11pm, is a tasty target to a fire ant. Of all places, he got my little toe. Which isn't so little anymore. It's now swollen to almost twice its size, itches, and has what the internet calls a "pustule." Crazy how such a small thing can bother your every day functions.
Oh, and dad, I got my key back.

p.s. I'm working on my design, so please check back soon!

I would have to day that fire ants are the worst! I have had four intense incidents involving fire ants. One time I ( like you) was wearing flip flops and unknowingly was covered in these guys. That night and three days after, my feet itched intensely and they looked like boats! Moriarty is to Sherlock Holmes as fire ants are to Hannah. :)
By the way, I might copy you and start up a blog as well ( a real blog, not like my myspace blog :)
ouch.
fire ants bit me at my parents house the other night... it still hurts. how can such a little insect inflict such pain??
