Ellen has informed me that my blog is boring and needs updating, so here's a bit of explanation for the four of you who are actually reading this.
My purpose here is not necessarily to be entertaining (though I will certainly try). I'm also not really going for the humor category, as I feel Christen and Duane have that pretty well covered. And I am seeking with every fiber of my being to stay miles away from theological debate. The point of this blog is really just to make me write a bit every day, a habit I am trying to establish now that the year-long celebratory hiatus from writing that followed my graduation is at an end. Writing papers (writing anything, really) was the absolute worst part of college for me (making English an odd major to choose). To this day, all of my back in college nightmares involve having an unwritten paper due in a few short hours--as opposed to showing up to class naked or something.
In all of my New Year's Resolution zeal, I decided to begin keeping a journal. That lasted for about a day and a half. Journals/Diaries are so stupid. You write down all your innermost information with the intention that no one should ever read it. What's the point of writing something no one will ever read? I certainly don't want to go back and read about how mad I was at Mr. X or how Miss Z has the hots for Mr. Q. I also don't want any volitile personal information lying around waiting to fall into the wrong hands (i.e. any hands but my own). As a person who has read a few roommates' diaries in her life, I realize the great danger inherrant in this situation.
Hence this blog. I write, and you read it. Woohoo!
