So, some of you might not know me. My name is Maggie and I’m one of the Iowa kids. I’ve been around since pretty much this sucker began, but since I haven’t had anything really interesting to talk about I haven’t felt inclined to post. I still don’t have too much to say, but I guess I have the courage to write something anyways.

Now I’ve noticed that everyone who posts is way cool and talented at somthing really nifty. I’m afraid that I can’t draw or paint or take pictures or speak Japanese or get really cool internships, but the one thing I do have some aptitude for is Swing Dance. That’s right kiddo’s I am a swinger. I just started last semester but have somehow managed to get myself on the preforming/competeing team for Iowa. I have to tell you I’m not the greatest, but I certainly know how to have a blast while sucking. For example, I managed to go to Chicago this weekend to attend the Annual Swinger’s Ball X at the fabulous Willowsprings Ballroom and while there I decided with a friend of mine to try to enter a huge swing competition. I have to tell you that my partner nor I are very experienced. In fact, we kinda suck. But we tried our hardest, unfortunatly our hardest involved falling down in the first phrase of the song. I wish I could upload a picture of what we looked like as we made complete asses of ourselves, but I can upload my favorite picture of the night:
