EPTI'd like to start by telling a bit of myself. (skip this part if you're not interested in how I got into SC)
+ Show Spoiler +
I'm a boring little fellow from Finland, with basically no life. I barely ever go out with anyone, if I do it's either family or food. I'm not in school or work so I have a lot of time to do what ever I want, but I really don't have much stuff I want to do. Most of my days go by by playing games, watching movies/series' or listening to music.
I bought SC2 right in the midnight release, I paid 30€ for train tickets, slept at a friends' place and paid nearly 30€ for food in a Japanese restaurant. It was pretty much a "spur of the moment" thing. The day the midnight release was held, I heard about it from my friend for the first time. That day I decided I'd go there and buy it.That night we took turns on playing it on his laptop, which had awful lag even though it was on lowest graphic settings, we played until around 0400am, at that time my friend went to sleep and I continued playing through the night. Then as my friend wakes up I've played dozens of games against bots and a few against players in the practice league. Then around noon we went out, ate at a Japanese noodle restaurant, and I left for the train to go back home. As soon as I got home I installed SC2 and played through the day.
It's kind a funny that I went through all that to get SC2, even though I never had played pretty much any RTS games except SC:BW a long long time ago.
But then after a while I just stopped playing SC2, only god knows why but I just didn't want to play anymore. Until now!
Now that I've watched nearly all SC2 episodes from Day[9] (God bless Day[9]) I want to become a better gamer! Day[9] is the reason I want to become better, Day[9] is the reason there's a light at the end of the tunnel and no I'm not obsessing about him.

Anyway, the plan is as follows:
I'll be practicing to play SC2 and my goal is to play Random.
Not only because Day[9] plays Random but because my favorite unit are on Terran, my favorite mechanics are on Zerg but Protoss still is my favorite race.
I'll probably start with playing Protoss first, and as I get better as Protoss I'll go to the Zerg camp, and last I'll go Terran. Order might change as time goes by.
But I will be trying my best to learn all three.
I'll start streaming as soon as I get a new computer (my current one can't handle streaming) but for now I'll have to settle for low graphic setting replay recordings.
I'll try to start commentating my material but I truly hate my voice and I'm a shy person, so I don't know if I can do it sooner or later, but I'll be trying!
Now that you know what I'm planning on doing, I'd love to have some help from the community.
I'd like you to give me opinions on if people would actually want to follow a bronze level player practice Starcraft. I also would like to have you people to tell me how and what I should start practicing as a total beginner. Obviously the first one to start with is constant worker production and not supply blocking myself.
Also, if it's possible I'd love to have some people to practice with me.
If you're interested, either let me know here or just add me on SC and tell me there

Also you can contact me by email through Blueorange@wippies.com
That's it for today, I'll be posting more when I can get to it.
I suggest you to watch some casters such as Day[9], Husky and maybe strategy based casters like ForceSC2strategy. They will help you learn strategies and teach you how to analyse(at least my learning performed like that). I can help you out with some stuff but i guess you dont need a high level Platinum player. If you wish to talk about some stuff; Akriloth.882.
