Pilot (Ya know, 'cause it's my first post)

So I've decided to start my own blog. "Why," you might ask, "what could an Army brat, Mormon gal, band geek, college student, artist, authoress, singer, actress, football-playing-king-in-space possibly have to say that I haven't heard before?"

Well, I'm still trying to figure that out for myself.

A lot has happened to me throughout my life. I've moved, met new people, seen new things and places, and had a lot of adventures. I've had my highs and lows, challenges and blessings. And here, I hope to talk about a lot of those things that I normally don't get to brag about to a captive audience (you are captive, right?).

The name of my blog may seem a little strange. You see, I meant to start blogging a very long time ago, but the idea of coming up with a title for something that would be a permanent part of the world wide web made the OCD introvert in me crawl into a corner and shiver in the fetal position. I considered "Combat Boots and Sunday Suits," but that title mad it sound like I was a guy trying to find Jesus in the midst of a war. Or is that just me? Anyways, I was talking to an old friend the other day. He asked me to come up with a title for a Facebook group he was creating. I told him it had to be something catchy, and he jokingly named it "Something Catchy." It was then that I realized what a perfect name that would be for this blog, whimsical and open-ended. Here was a place I could write poetry and stories, post random fan art and questions about the mysteries of life.

So, welcome to my little blog. Hope you enjoy it.
