My blogging began in 2001

I have my hotmail account separated into several folders other than the pre-existing inbox, junk and trash. Over the 10+ years that I have had this account, I've added "Purchase Receipts" for my addiction to online shopping. I have the "Relationships" folder which currently holds ONE article pertaining to money. Finally, I have the "Roxy Updates" which has 2 years worth of blog material.

The Roxy Updates folder is actually missing a year of blog material because I was the queen of downloading computer viruses in college and couldn't think to save anything like a responsible human being.

Basically, my junior year of college left me pretty much alone. The majority of my friends went off to Europe to experience studying abroad, and I was stuck at school thanks to an engineering degree with very strict course requirements.

With all the girls gone, all I had was email. I started sending them weekly updates. These updates were no different from my "morning after" stories, but writing them in emails allowed me to save them. When I randomly read some of these emails now-a-days, I'm amused at the men and events I have forgotten... but how important all the stuff from my past have helped shape the person I am today.

Over the next couple of weeks, I will be on lockdown studying for the boards... but I will not be without blog material. So sit back and enjoy selective excerpts from Roxy of the past...
