Greetings

Hey, hey! I get to write again! Hallelujah!

I guess I should use this as an introduction of sorts, in case anybody ever wants to actually read this thing, eh?

Hi, my name is Karen. I am currently a graduate student, working on my Master's Degree in History at the University of North Texas. I am originally from Illinois and most of my family still lives there, so I visit pretty regularly. I love movies and use them as reference and conversation starters and even sometimes as a personality test. I try to see as many as I can...except for horror movies, which I find to be a total waste of my time. The inside of my head is a dark and scary enough place without that extra help.

This blog is titled "Chaz 'n' Friends" because someone that I dearly love told me that I have, residing inside me: a lawyer named Chaz, a twelve-year old boy (Charlie), a boy scout who has no name, a "regular guy" who watches football, scopes chicks and burps (Hank) and several other facets of my personality. I would like for this blog to be a space where any of them can come out via my writing. Incidentally, my friend really hated Chaz.

So, there you have it. Read on, if you have a mind to. I hope you enjoy it. Feel free to comment and ask questions.
