So, I had better explain the title...

most people think I am... well a bit of a nerd. When it comes to some things, I am-- especially food and books. I was racking my brains for the perfect theme/title of my blog, and so I decided to use the word "literature". The origin of the word comes from a latin expression that translates in the meaning: "acquaintance with letters". So, judge me if you will, but there you have it.
so... an acquaintance with letters. my an aquaintance with me would help. My name is Julie. I live in Canada and go to school in Utah. I have a big family, my favorite color is blue, I perfer wood over metal in most things, and I am kind of a health freak. Spinach is my best friend. My favorite books include: Wuthering Heights, Persuasion, Heart of Darkness, and (of course), Harry Potter.
Beyond the written word, my interests include running (I hope to do a marathon for the first time next year sometime), helping others understand why milk and sugar are not the healthiest things in the world, movies, and cooking. I love to bake and create new recipes. Even though I am not the mom, I make dinner every night at my house, just because I usually enjoy it a great deal.
This blog may be for my own benefit. But I hope to benefit others: an aquaintance with letters. Friends start with acquaintances. And friends, good ones, can change your life.
