Just starting out.

Well, I'm just starting out here, and I'm not too sure what to say. I seemed to get a pretty great go-ahead within minutes of posting on twitter that I wanted to start a blog. (Follow me if you're not at @BuhlerFerris)

If you do not already know, I play on my last name a LOT. I have gone through many years of teasing, laughing and joking about the name and I have heard them all. I have learned to embrace it - especially because it was one of the coolest movies ever. If you've never seen it, you probably should.

So here, I suppose I should tell you a little bit about me.

I go to school full time and I major in psychology and minor in sociology. I'm in the Bachelor of Arts program in a University in Edmonton. 75% of the time, I really love what I learn and embrace it, then midterms come, assignments, papers, and sleepless nights and I kind of hate it. However, I'm learning to enjoy more of it as it probably (hopefully?) won't last much longer. It's been a long road so far.

I grew up on a farm and wouldn't trade that upbringing for the world. I learned more about hard work, hard labour, loving animals, privacy and quiet than I think I ever could in the city. I live for branding season and for the annual May Long Weekend celebration that we have every year. (We burn the Christmas trees from the previous year!)

I hate lying, cheating, and dishonesty. I think that everyone says that, but I have no quams "rocking the boat" and my older sister/best friend has a love/hate relationship with me about that. If someone hurts my feelings, I will tell them - I don't care if that is going to make things worse. You chose that time and place to hurt my feelings (knowingly or not) and I will choose that time and place to call you out on it for being a douche.

According to most of my friends, I'm an extrovert. I am very social, however, I choose to spend most nights hanging out home and keeping things low key. I like excitement once and a while, but I really just like being lazy at home watching TV or doing something "equally as cool."

I'm not sure what else I should let you know here, but I promise that I'll be more entertaining in the future ....

I always tell people "I don't have big boobs or an ass, but at least I'm funny," so I hope you'll laugh at least once or twice reading about my insanity.
