My "Official" Introduction

Hey y'all!

So here it is.  I'm really starting my blog.  Really it's just going to be one long running thought about the experiences, adventures, and doings in my life.  I don't expect many people to read my posts, and that's okay!  (As I mentioned, I'm really NOT a strong writer!)  This is a way for me to keep track of what I do, what I like, where I want to go, where I have been...more so for myself than others.  Though, it may prove easier for my family and friends to monitor me this way instead of calling or emailing.  Not to discourage any calls or emails though! :)

To explain my title: "Abnormal Ang"
I see creating my blog name as that ice breaker game we ALL have played at some point in our lives.  "Okay everyone, now let's go around the room and introduce ourselves by first name and one adjective that best describes us."  Brownie Points for alliteration, am I right? So going on this guideline I thought about alllllll of the "A" words I've used to describe myself.  All were bland, boring, and basic.  I am none of those!  What am I then?  ... ... ...

1) I am not like any other.

I like turtles, I mean really like them.  I am very talented cook, with the degree to prove it.  Fittingly so, I love to feed people until they need to lie on the couch for a few hours afterwards to recuperate.  I have a terrible time understanding sarcasm and rudeness.  I am awkward in an awkward way.  I'm a nerd for nature.  I have a gifted imagination and extraordinarily crafty hands.  I love dirt and enjoy being totally manly every now again.  I love to read but fall asleep about 5 minutes into it.  I speak before I think more often than I'd like.  Traveling has always excited me but my roots are deep, deep, deep in Alabama.  Family does include those who are not kin.  I cry easily.  I also scare easily.  Organization is a guilty pleasure.  I tell stories that have little relevance to the conversation and then get lost in them and forget my point.  I love fire, knives, fishing, building things, and being handy woman-just like Daddy taught me.  I am not easily discouraged, I will not sit still if something is unjust, and I can sometimes have a severe case of HBIC-like mother like daughter.  I am not fearless.  I love music so much but I can't play and definitely can't sing (but that doesn't stop me).  I eat constantly.  I love sweating and working out but hate making myself do it.  My scars are internal and superficial.  Most importantly, I am a child of The One and Only.  He's the best.

I am ABNORMAL.  Not in a strange way, just I'm totally not typical. And I like it.

2)  I am Ang.  That's me.

I'm from Alabama.  I went to college at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, RI.  I met some of the most wonderful people there and made relationships for life.  I graduated Summa Cum Laude in May 2014 with an AS in Culinary Arts and a BS in Food Service Entrepreneurship.  I currently live in Israel for a few months then I will be back in the States in time for the holidays then, potentially going back to Israel in the Spring of 2015.  Life is crazy and beautiful. I love it!
