Well, Here It Is

I plan on using this thing to keep in touch with my friends. You can thank my roommate for the idea. I never seriously considered getting a blog before now, mainly because I normally do all my philosophizing and whining in my journal or at the lunch table. Unfortunately, I've lost the lunch table option. Funny how graduation does that. That lunch table was the one place in the school that was always on my side. Even the Creative Writing classroom turned on my once or twice. The lunch table, however, was always able to rejuvenate me. You guys were there, you always had something interesting and insane to say, you always listened to my brain dribble. It was a haven.
Because I don't want to lose the opportunity to ramble to friends, I'm bringing it online as a new sanctuary. I could just copy and paste random prose and email it to all you guys, I suppose, but I'm too lazy and too enamored by efficient systems. I'll email everyone about this soon--I'm assuming that if you're reading this, you got an email already. Try to leave comments, even if it's just "I read it" so I'll know some of my friends are paying attention. And hey, if you want to make me read your stuff as well, start a blog and tell me. I'd love to read it!

I'm not sure I'll get to whine as much anymore, though--I've escaped the public school system and am in a private college. My shock and pleasure at this most fortunate turn of events will probably last some time. I might even turn into an optimist if it lasts long enough! :)
