i've never written a blog before and i must say, i find it slightly intimidating. i am never able to keep a journal for long, because eventually i have that same feeling i get when cornered at a party and fast running out of witty and/or interesting things to say. i stare at a blank page and think about the always profound and eloquent journals and letters left by great poets, and i wonder if they too were convinced at the time that someone would unearth and scrutinize their every word some day. i really should just get a webcam to complete my vain and vaguely paranoid illusion that my whole life is a movie, of great interest to some unknown but certainly hip and savvy audience.

in the meantime, an online journal seems appropriate, but i find myself lacking the hubris to assume that people actually want to hear about the drudgeries of my daily life. only in my fantasy world am i out all night and asleep all day in the arms of some fabulously beautiful man or woman or combination thereof; in real life, my most recent excitements involve buying a new brita pitcher, getting keys to my very own library carrel, experimenting with all natural deodorant, starting a new knitting project, and clipping my dog's toenails. SEXY.

but stay tuned...soon there will be a new piercing, followed shortly thereafter by an exciting new hair color. perhaps this will lead to a REAL punk rock adventure. also, my brand new bestest friend (moppet) has provided me with a slew of new music to listen to, so i'll let you know if a new soundtrack helps. and my old bestest friend sends me the best web links (a preponderance of which are dog-related, i'm warning you), so you'll have something interesting to look at in the meantime...
