New, unexpected things: My first stay in the hospital...

I never saw this first new thing post coming.  Last night I tossed and turned with a pain in my chest and upper abdomen.  It wasn't extremely painful, but it was uncomfortable enough to keep me up pretty much until 6 in the morning.  I couldn't find any comfortable position and medicine, soda, or throwing up didn't work.  So around 5 a.m. I went into the hospital and stayed for just about 11 hours.  I felt better around 7 a.m. and we are not sure what it was, but they did have me have my first cat scan which led to my first medical allergy to Cat Scan Dye.

So yeah, I'm fine now, and the hospital visit wasn't too bad just very long.  I was lucky it was not excruciating pain and eventually got bits of sleep starting around 6:30.   Good thing; My mom stayed with me and we got to watch Supernatural together which didn't happen for a long time.

So this was not necessarily a "something new" that I had in mind, but it happened, so I thought I'd share.

A new blog. A new post. A new challenge.

Ciao!  My name's Angela, and as you can see in the description this is my "try new things" blog.  I have a lot of interests and a lot of desire to try new things, but I tend to let time pass and not pursue these things.  So I figure writing them down and sharing them with whoever is willing to read them would be a good motivation for me to make this happen.

I guess in a first post I should post some info about myself.

*I live in the USA around Philadelphia, PA. 
*I teach music.  I love to sing.
*In an alternate life or maybe in the future I'd be a screen writer... or an actress... or a director.  
*If you're looking for perfect grammar, please stop reading. 
*I watch way too much TV. (Chuck, NCIS, Glee, Burn Notice, Psych, Merlin, Doctor Who; etc.)
*Dance is my stress reliever.
*I long to travel the world... and will do it.
*Musical theater makes me happy.
*Disney is magic to me.
*Harry Potter is magic as well.
*Social awkwardness is my specialty.
*Quirkiness is another specially.
*I try to love and live life to the best of my capabilities.  Hopefully this blog can help me prove that statement as true.

That's all for now.  Hoping for two new things next week... not sure what they'll be yet, but I'll think of something.
