Hello! It's me again. Since you want to know a little about me, I might as well start from the beginning. I was born December 16, 1775 to George and Cassandra Austen. I came from a large family of which I was the youngest. When I say large family, I mean large family. I come from a family of 10, two parents, six brothers, one sister, and me. My siblings are James, George, Henry Thomas, Francis William, Charles John, and my one dear sister, Cassandra Elizabeth. It might have sounded that I had a very crowded home, and I did. It was because of all the boys, but not my brothers. By the time I was born, most of my brothers had already left home. There were a lot of boys because my dad had opened a boarding school for young men at our house, so I grew up with all of them.
I was very close to my sister. She was my closest friend all my life and I did everything with her. When she got sent to boarding school, I begged my dad to send me too, even though I was too young. I went to many boarding schools with my sister, but I never really learned too much from the laid back schools with lazy teachers pretending to be French.
Well, that's pretty much it for now. Check back later for more posts on this funny journal thing on an odd contraption with a screen called a "computer." The things they come up with these days...
