The First Post!

Sooo...the first post! I'm not quite sure what I want to say here...except...hello and welcome to my blog! I started this so that I could work on something more productive. I'm usually spending my days watching old reruns of Jon & Kate Plus 8, and I figured I should at least be doing something. 

I guess I'll be using this space to broadcast my thoughts. What I'm doing in my day-to-day (which will probably end up being mostly about things that annoy me), pictures I've taken, poems I've written (though I promise not to be like one of those angsty cutter kids who post their dark prose about how they just want to hide themselves away from the world and wear black), movies I've seen, books I've read, music that needs to be heard, and whatever else I feel like I want to write about. 

You may want to know why I've named this interweb shindig "Cutlery Bandit." Well, it all started a few years ago when me and one of my very best friends went to California during the summer. There's a hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant near my grandmother's house in San Diego called El Juan, which in Spanish means "the John", probably the best name for a Mexican joint I could ever imagine. Anyway, wanting something to commemorate the experience, but not having enough room in my purse to kype a menu, we decided to take the silverware. I scored a fork, she got a knife. Since then I have stolen a spoon from a hotel in DC, another fork from a restaurant called The Jolly Roger in Anaheim, and a knife from Pirate Dinner Adventure in Anaheim (although apparently Alaska Air doesn't think it's acceptable to have a butter knife in your checked suitcase and confiscated that one). I know I don't have much of a collection yet, but it does make for interesting souvenirs, and I will post if any more come into my possession.

Bree! You are my heroin and your blog is as awesome as banana nuts. I hope you steal forks and knives when you are on a date one day, because then the guy will think you are weird.

Will someone please remove these cutleries from my knees?!
