Greetings!

Hello and welcome to my blog.

Well, that was a lame introduction.

Anyway, to start, my name is Alex, and the name of my blog is "Pigeon's Picks and Other Ponderings".

Now, I'm sure you're wondering why. Does she love pigeons? They are flying rats... Actually reader, I am not a fan of pigeons. Or rats, really. Or many animals. I do like the occasional cat and puppy photo, but I never grew up with animals, or near them, so I'm not fond of furry creatures. They're fun to look at, but definitely not for me!


Do pigeons ponder? I'm sure they do, but about crumblies on the sidewalk, not about fashion, current events, or anything that I like and am willing to write about. But I think they do have a blatant disregard for humans. That's okay, we don't like them either!

"Pigeon" is my nickname, "pidg" for short. My boyfriend Wade started to call me "pigeon" after we watched The Lady and the Tramp together. You know, the adorable movie about the spaghetti-slurping dogs that fall in love and very obviously come from different classes in the caste system and is made by one of my favorite companies, Disney.


Ugh, you're like an adult or something. I watch Disney movies all the time, guys... they aren't just for children. Actually, when you watch them as an adult, you understand the jokes and plots much better than when you're a child! It's not all about the singing crab or the crazy French chauvinist who really, really likes eggs.


Why did you make your boyfriend watch that... Because he was willing and he'll watch anything with me. He's that nice (plus, he laughs at them more than I do, which makes me all googly inside).

Anyway, I started this blog to talk about things that I like. And I like a lot of things, much like some of you.

But not animals. No. But I love watching stupid cat videos and *learning* about animals and how they think, if that helps any.

A few little nuggets about me:
01) I'm a 24 year old living in Savannah, GA.
02) I love to read and edit things. Anything. I'll read your stories, but at a price.
03) My boyfriend's name is Wade. He's a firefighter. I talk about him frequently.
04) I graduated college last year. I was an English Communications major. I hope to one day work for a publishing company, but I doubt that will happen, so I will happily settle for another job, so long as I can edit stories / manuscripts on the side.
05) Here's a whole bunch of things I like: Harry Potter, Disney, France, fashion, shoes! and accessories!, my city, peanut butter, making lists, Christmas, movies, books, music, and writing.

That's all for now. At least I gave you an introduction (sub-par, but it was an introduction nonetheless). I hope you enjoyed and I hope you stick around to see what I blog about!

  1. 1) Pidg
    2) You said caste system, I can't explain it but that's seriously on my most love words list. I know, I'm a dork.
    3)I love when you talk about how you feel about Wade, I have vague memories of the 3 of us in middle school and we were all in different cliques and it's just so much like my own private love story? Like my own personal Notebook if you will.
    4)Because I never ever was around during them but you drop hints of a history in hospitals, I'm asking your next post to be an essay of your personal tragedy that I've only seen a glimpse of, and because I'm totally nosy.

    Welcome to the Blogger World! :)
