Alright so…
I guess the best way to start out this new blog is by telling you that I am a girl, and my name is Mike. Mike for short, but Michael is my real, official, on my birth certificate, name. No, my parents did not think I was a boy when I was born, they aren’t hippie stoners, and my brother’s name is not Sue.
To set the record straight, my mom knew a girl in college named Michael and she really liked it. That’s basically it.
There is a second and more interesting story though. When I was little my grandpa (or papou) would always tell me that my name translated into Greek (I’m Greek by the way) was a beautiful girl’s name. I can’t tell you if this is true, or just a made-up story a grandfather told his insecure granddaughter.
I don’t know if anyone will ever read my blog, so this site is mostly for me. I was introduced to blogging through Xanga a few years ago and recently deleted my account. Now that it’s gone I’ve realized how much I depended on it.
Before I deleted my blog I read a lot of my old posts, and it was the strangest experience. It was proof of how much had happened and changed in my life, and how much I had grown in that time. It was all there; the drama, the good times, the bad times, the rants, the breakups, the dreams, the family troubles, the random lyrics, and more. When I started my xanga I had no intentions of actually using it. To tell you the truth, the only reason I made one was because a guy I liked had one. But long after that relationship ended, I was still blogging.
I hope you do stop by every now and then though, and leave me some much needed advice for. Let me tell you, I’m always in need of it
