First Post

i am not a weblog virgin. as a matter of fact, i am a dirty weblog slut! in the interest of preserving my privacy, i closed up shop on my old blog and began a new one here. right here. the story of my old blog's demise is a long and sordid one, stretching all the way back into the dark years of my high school career. i'll tell it to you later, when i feel like it.

i find it interesting that every time i start a blog, i feel the need to be somewhat more polite and urbane. as though anyone ever reads these but my friends. but its a compulsion i just can't shake. i'll loosen up eventually, give me time.

so i suppose i could start this off by telling you a little bit about myself:

i am currently 22-ish.

i am a virgo (and a dog in the asian astrology cycle).

i have a b.a. from wesleyan university. i majored in english.

my family does not have a crest. we're of russian and eastern european stock, and were way too busy subsistence farming cabbage to think up a fancy little shield expressing our motto. but if i were to design a crest for me and only me, it would most likely feature a picture of a puppy wearing a scarf.

i long ago gave up on using capital letters. they take too much time. apparently i have SO many important things to say that i only have time to use them as accents.

i long ago made the english language my bitch.

i love all things british, except mercantilism and imperialism. it would be rude to blame the brits alone for those things anyway.

i think that is probably enough about me for now. as i update, i'm sure all sorts of sordid and dirty details will come spilling out, like so much pus from a festering zit. and you know what, you'll be here to enjoy it all. all right. cool. or kewl. but i'm going to lunch now, so hang out for a bit. i'll be back later.
