It's been an express desire of mine to start writing on a consistent basis for a long time now. I own a xanga that I've written in since I was 16, essentially using it as a glorified diary. Something to write down the events of my day, to catalog random thoughts, and to horde attention from my friends. That was all well and good until I realized that I sounded like a 13 year old girl at times, and frankly I'm pretty scared of internet predators.
Upon this realization I decided it was time to renew my efforts. I was going to be a high brow blogger, come hell or high water! Only ideologies, philosophy, politics, war, and the occasional album recommendation (Radiohead is soooo in right now) were to grace my glorious xanga. I did that for a while only to to discover that posting legitimate thought on xanga is like posting the Communist Manifesto inside a bathroom stall: most people don't get it, and those who do don't really have the time or desire to read it in whilst on the can.
So here I am. Kicking off a (hopefully) worthwhile relationship with blogspot with the infamous "I'm here now lolz!" post. As much as it's cheesy, and way overdone, I think that it's totally necessary. There are so many things and/or events that I attend that I think would be benefited by a buzzer or a whistle or a foghorn. Hell, you could blow a conch shell for all I care. All I usually want is some sort of indication that whatever I'm at or doing is starting. A general notice of "Stop what you were doing to entertain yourself before this thing started, because it's starting... NOW. *tweet*"
If the workday started with a buzzer, I'd probably be on time way more often.
To end my first post, I guess I'll give you a bullet list of things to expect if/when you choose to read this self indulgent webpage. (Did I really just call it a webpage? Am I living in 1995?)
What to expect; a list!
-A horrid misuse of "it's" and "its".
-Lots of parenthetical statements (because they are oh so much fun).
-The occasional drug reference?
-A little bit of rambling on any given topic.
-Disjointed thoughts in single sentences between somewhat thought out points.
-4 posts a week. This is a promise.
-Too many old internet references.
-A sometimes childish outlook on life.
-An obsession with music.
-An obsession with lists.
-A neverending plethora of "big kid words".
-An in-depth look at the thoughts that ruminate in my own head, hopefully in an attempt to make you familiar with myself as a person as well as provide (hopefully) new outlooks on already existing topics.
