The adventure begins!

Ok, I think that’s it for the preliminary intro/blog set-up stuff, so we’re good to go (until someone grants me permission to put them on my links list–ahem!) I’m going with the optimistic word here, “adventure” as opposed to “abyss” or something along those lines. Really by “adventure”, I mean this mad after-graduation, rest-of-my-life thing that I’m embarking upon. Also the blog, of course, but I don’t think by any stretch of the imagination I’m going to be able to make this thing fascinating enough to constitute an adventure. Maybe a promenade.

BUT, I’m gonna make a promise here, because I’m trying to prevent everyone (including myself) from losing interest in this little excercise in, like, week. The promise is that I’ll try to be at least funny or interesting or weird or something in every entry. No recitations of arguments I had with the guy at the phone company or long pontifications on the nature of subjectivity. I promise. Well, I promise to try.

I kinda think this attempt at being interesting may eventually result in me just, well, making things up. But, then, Lillian Hellman pretty much died bitter and penniless because she changed her autobiography to make it more interesting and Mary McCarthy made it her mission to destroy her. So maybe it’s a bad idea. Well, you can *let me know*, cause you can comment on these entries. If you, you know, wanna.

Wow, it’s so not 4:55 am. I wonder why my blog clock says that. So many mysteries!!
