Introductions and the Like

What drives one to start writing a blog?
In my case, it is simply a case of boredom mixed with procrastination (honestly, I haven't touched my checkbook since February)  and the need for a more creative outlet than, shall we say, Facebook. 
I could rant about all of that for hours and say the same things over and over and over and over and over again, but I usually like to cut right to the chase.
My name is Katie (or Kate, I like to go by both. Sorry. Irrelevant information) and I'm a college freshman going into nursing. I'm completely terrified because I don't have any idea what to expect, but I'm staying in my hometown for school so hopefully the transition into the adult world won't be too big of a culture shock.
Anyways, the Main Point of this blog, as stated earlier, is to serve as a creative outlet. I'm a music junkie. I eat, sleep, breathe music so probably 99% of the blog entries after this one will have something to do with music. Most of what I listen to could best be categorized as alternative/indie rock and lots of classic rock. But really, who wants to throw labels around? Not me. 
As I end this first post, I'd like to leave you all with a video from my second favorite band ever: The Strokes! I have a sick obsession. A sick, sick obsession and it's terrible. Anyways. I'm an insomniac and the title of the song fits well with the time this will be posted. I like coincidences like that.

P.S. If anyone was wondering, my Ultimate Favorite Band is The Beatles. Nuff Said.
