Greetings, Nina and anyone else who has the fortune of stumbling upon this treasure trove. Welcome to The Nina Project! "WTF is The Nina Project?", you might be thinking to yourself or screaming aloud. Well, it goes like this. My dearest darling friend Nina Hartsel has a habit of going as far away from me as possible. First she moves all the way to the west coast to go to college, then she comes back for Christmas break, only to skedaddle over to South Dakota, AKA Boyfriendland, THEN she brings Boyfriendland back home with her, thus disappearing, and THEN, when Boyfriend is safely returned to where he belongs, spends the rest of her time near me getting ready to spend six months on a deserted island nobody's ever heard of before! Well anyway, despite this behavior I still love the girl. And, because her phone doesn't work on the Deserted Island, I can't talk to or text her. Sad face. But that's where this blog comes in. Happy face! For the next six months or so, I'm gonna try to bundle up all my crazy in snack-sized 100 calorie bags, and serve them to Nina in blog form, whether she likes it or not. Updates will occur semi-regularly, and will be just about as random as possible. You're welcome.
