New to the World . . . As Far As the Internet Goes

How to break the ice . . . I guess I will start by saying my name. My name is Alexandria Hernandez Mann. There, now that wasn't so hard . . . now what to say . . . my day so far . . . no, no one wants to hear of my day . . . fine then, my upcoming night . . . sounds good.
So here at the University tonight marks the end of Fraternity Rush Week. For those of you who do not know what happens at the end of the week, thank goodness for me, I will tell you; parties. Oh yes, is it making sense now? Okay, well, I have the opportunity to attend one of these golden nights. Now, for those of you who do not know me, and reassurance for those who do, I am not a big drinker. I wasn't in high school--that is why I wasn't popular in high school--and I am not a big drinker now. What sets this night apart from any other Fraternity party is because it is a dance as well. Yes, see now this is where I really get excited. I love to dance it runs in my family, but I haven't had the chance to dance here at the University. Okay, so I do take a ballroom class but come on. It is like dancing with trees, they don't move and you can't cut them down because it ends up hurting someone's feelings. So, the point is I am overly excited for tonight. I even did the old fashion way to curl your hair without a curling iron, by using bobby-pins, water, and gel. I also took advantage of the fact I haven't went shopping in a while and asked my Mom for a little money . . . SHWWWIIINNGGG . . . that is all I have to say about that. What did I do then, well, I went to the best little vintage shop in the world! I am taking awesome clothes and other pieces for a great prices. In Chicago everything is super over priced the selection is for people who are a size XXS. Yeah I think they call those people infants and starving people. I ended up getting two amazing 80's era dresses for 37 dollars and blah blah blah cents. Are they magnificent? Lets see, would I get them if they weren't . . . umm duhh. Since they are from the 80's one did have a bow, a rather large bow actually, but I did see no reason to throw it away. So, I cut if off, and yes it was on the front of the dress, directly in the middle, and sewed it to a thin headband I have had forever. Now I have this amazing dress and very snazzy headband with a workable bow. Talk about being worth two in the bush. So now I am waiting for the clock to strike seven and off I will be. Until then I welcome you with open arms!
