My username was idiot_savant. (I did an A+ presentation on oxymorons and onomatopoeia during English Honors my freshman year, so I never stopped proudly inserting said figures of speech into everyday conversation such as: "And then my plastic glasses SNAPPED!" *shifts eyes* *smug smile*)
Xanga was an outlet for all my unfiltered (and highly dramatic) accounts of every little event that happened in high school. When I wasn't gabbing about the newest Harry Potter book or humblebragging about being cast in spring musicals, I'd make sure to write "shout-outs" to my best friends or post pictures of myself photoshopped with celebrities.
By the time I moved to NYC, I made sure to bury that blog. I deleted everything. I didn't want any of my new east coast friends to know anything about my high school life. I was pretty awkward and hopelessly dorky during my teenage years and I didn't want any of my new friends to see that part of me.
I really wish I hadn't. It would've been pretty cool for me to be able to read 14 year-old Jee's exciting fairy tale about Homecoming. Just as you get that wave of nostalgia while you're trying to translate that inside joke your friend scribbled in your yearbook, it would've been interesting to read my illustrious run-on arguments for why "Lose My Breath" was the best Destiny's Child song ever on the radio.
That being said, this is my present platform. The Jee Spot. Here is where I will write haikus, post a trial-and-error recipe, and vent about society's aversion to gluten.
I don't know what I'll write, but I do know that I will indeed... write.
You know that moment you finally decide you're going to "try yoga," but it's important for you to go to lululemon and spend $150 on your "I'm gonna do yoga" ensemble? Who am I kidding? $200.
Well, I did that. Sort of. I spent 3 minutes on a fancy logo for my blog. Now that it's official, I have no excuses. I have to write.

So welcome to my world. And no, I will not (probably not) write about sexual endeavors though my name says otherwise. The title is just a fun play of my name that I felt would've been bold enough to catch the attention of our highly-sexualized generation.
xoxo,
Jee.
