Yes! Especially using the exact wording "I shrugged it off" there are other ways to word that phrase that still mean the same thing. "I didn't think much of it." "It didn't seem too strange at the time." "Initially, I didn't even notice." something other than "I shrugged it off"

Another thing, but this is more a pet peeve of mine; "It all started when..." This just feels really amateurish, like "once upon a time..." try to put a little more effort into the wording, grab a thesaurus!

Sorry... rant over.
