Hello, Hello...

...I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello... 

So, where to begin, my newest blogging adventure. I used Xanga for a pretty long time but therein lies the ghost of my former self. A pissed off, sad, hurting, mostly teenage not-so thinly veiled version of who I used to be. I've decided now, entering this new phase in my life I'll make a clean break, something I haven't done for a long time. So, here we go.

I'll start by telling you - and any potential readers - a bit about myself . As of today August 3, 2011 I am 22 years old. I was born and raised in The Home of The Brave also known as Brooklyn, New York in a neighborhood called Bushwick - or as the hipsters who have seem to have taken over call it - East Williamsburg. But we won't count anything hipsters say, as hipsters are known to not have a soul because they sold it for an iPhone and a Mac Book Air.

I was born on December 27, 1988 and was the 5th and last child of my mother Carol and father Charles. My dad actually named me Cherish Carol Robinson, as a sort of declaration of his love to my mother, which not only makes me a walking talking trophy signifying that the did the nasty somewhere near my mothers birthday BUT also a walking talking billboard for their love. I have 3 older sisters and 2 older brothers, one of which I just found out I had last year around this time. But we'll save that for another day.

I have a fiance named Rico, that I've been seeing for almost 4 1/2 years. Our love story is cute and I will grace you with an entry soon enough. Let's just say that he literally had me at hello :) I live with my mom but that is soon to change. My fiance is enlisting in the United States Marine Corps, I am scared and excited at the opportunities afforded to us.

I am a QUITE liberal as you will come to find, I am also an Atheist - teetering on militant. I love cats and dogs yet in a cruel twist I am allergic to both! But I still plan on getting a few of each they are too adorable not to.

I love 80s and 90s music. The last 10 years or so have been a pretty bad time in music in my opinion. I want to be some sort of social worker and am working, albeit slowly, toward my degree in law and sociology. We'll see where I end up, won't we?

That's all I have to write today though. Until then...
