Hold on folks, this entry is mostly going to be about itself. Excited? Good. We've only just gotten started and we're already off to a fantastic start. How far have we made it yet? Well, we're not even finished with the first paragraph. How about now that we've started the second paragraph? This is even wilder than before. We're already several words into this paragraph and even more words into this entry now. Wow. Right now you're probably thinking that this entry could use a picture. I agree.

Who would have guessed that making things like that would have turned out awesome? I could just travel there some day. I think I really could. But let's not get distracted by this! This is not the subject of this entry... You're here to read this entry discuss itself and I...

"traveling on a budget." That's somewhat interesting, but has probably been done to death. Hasn't everyone backpacked through Europe while a poor private (expensive) liberal arts college undergrad? It's hack! Everyone's been to Vietnam, right? The less obvious way of interpreting...
