So

I'm new at this. Well, not at writing. At blogging I guess. It's an ugly word. It sounds square and bulbous. And factory produced. And possibly yuppy. It's not yuppy, is it? I mean, I guess it's pretty universal to "blog" and for it to be specifically yuppy it would have to be about The Left Behind series or Humanism or something. I don't know what I'm talking about.
I suppose it's better that what this um, thing is, is a word like 'blog' with some sort of substance in it, rather than titling it something ambitious and regal like "online penning." Because as we all know, the grander the title the cheaper and crappier it's going to be.

Anyways, all that aside, this is my first blog, besides the ones on myface, which are really just random words strung together in a series. That is what I prefer, though. I'm not really comfortable with public journaling about my personal life, so most likely it will be stuff like that here--ideas I have, and small stories and stuff, especially because, as cool as my new macbook is (I'm trying to be more snobbish about it now), the writing program is kind of annoying and I haven't had motivation to sit down and map out a story. It's not for lack of trying, though. I just need to stagger my apathy so it doesn't effect my responsibility to write. Maybe this will be more effective, somehow.

Truthfully, I don't know what I will write about here. But thanks to Lauren and Olga for the motivation. Here's a video of my favorite singer singing one of my favorite songs. I saw her in concert last month. Ooh, maybe I'll put those pictures up next time. Cheers!
