i shall call you... blog.

well, hello world. i have decided to start a blog. one reason is because several people i like are doing it and i have repressed fear of not fitting in (thank you, middle school). i'm kidding (mostly). the real reason is because i used to write in a real live JOURNAL- like anne frank style (too soon?), but the trouble with that is that it just becomes all about feelings and not about memories. you know? i look back at journals and even blog-type things from long ago in my life (and by long ago i mean... 2 years) and i don't even know what was going on in my life because i was too busy writing about the FEELINGS of it all. like- instead of writing, "dear journal, i'm hopeful about a budding relationship," i might instead write out the lyrics to "maybe this time", and the page would be stained with tears and chocolate. well, you can't stain a blog, and the goal of this is to chronicle actual momentous things in my life. chronicle being the key word. in other words... this is not a meisner journal. i have several of those and they can stay right where they belong- in the closet, with scads of other things that should never re-enter my life, like murses, manpris, and of course, my turtle shell glasses. seriously.

so... now that we have formalities out of the way... what do i write about? any requests? my very busy and interesting life as a famous singer? :-) if you read this, write a comment so i know who you are. or you could just troll (who knew that was a verb?!).
