Hello to anyone who may be reading this! At the recommendation of my dad, I've started a blog to tell my story to the world... if anyone cares.
My name is Lucy Ryoko Nakamura, although I'm known to some as Lucy-chan, Luce, Goosey, or just plain Lucy. I'm 11 years old and I was born and raised in Boston. I live with my wonderful dad, my big brother Dylan (who I actually like... just don't tell him I said so!), and my wicked step-mother, Lily. My mother died when I was a baby, and several months ago my father remarried. Neither Dylan nor I like Lily very much... she waltzes into our lives at this late stage and expects us both to embrace her as our mother... but that isn't the case.
Last month, things worsened. My dad's job transferred him to Bakersfield, CA... a hot city a couple of hours away from Los Angeles. I wasn't excited... I love Boston. Everything is old and full of history. New England has a certain charm you can't find anywhere else. I'm sure California has it's good points, but I'm not ready to see them yet. I'm still sad about never being able to go with Dylan to another Red Sox game at Fenway... never being able to take the ferry to Nantucket... everything I used to love is behind me.
My dad is really trying to make things easy on everyone though. He's promised to take us to Disneyland and the beach this summer. And our new house is sort of nice. I got to pick my bedroom first, and when I have everything set up like I want it, I'll show it to you.
Anyways, hope my first post wasn't too boring... I plan to post regularly and hopefully make some friends.
TTFN!
