To the people of the Blogger Universe,

I shall begin by stating what our parents decided to name us. I am Vladlena Lin, and I have a sister named Lucrecia Lin. You can decide how old you want us to be, really, and who is older than the other. Our father is the typical everyday asian business man you see driving a Mercedes Benz to work. Meanwhile, my mother is Russian, and she was obviously the one that pointed out both of our names from the Book of Names.

Back to the whole point of this post. Why are we starting a blog? Neither of us are very sure why. In my case, I find the whole idea of writing and having people, especially strangers, read what I wrote very fun. I don't actually expect anything from you guys, so you shouldn't expect anything from us. In Lucrecia's case, she likes the fame that might come in the package of being a blogger but none of us think that we'll make it far enough.

In case you were wondering why our URL is called CitySmackers, we honestly don't know. We brainstormed several other URLs that we could possibly use, such as Fruitpoppers and TheWhiteNeedle, but our current URL seems a little more interesting sounding as compared to the other two URLs I previously mentioned. Lucrecia came up with WhiteSerpent, and I have to agree, it/s a wonderful URL, but we figured that it wouldn't stick to people's minds like CitySmackers would.

To whoever is reading this, my sincerest gratitude. To those who aren't, well you don't really know what we have to say since you're not here in the first place...

Hahaha.
