And so it begins...

Yes, folks. I have finally entered the blogging world.

This has actually been a while coming, but it takes some time to ease into actually writing a blog. First comes the process of creating the account, choosing a title that I'll probably want to change in a week, looking through the myriad pictures and backgrounds and fonts and layouts, and.... what's missing?

Oh, yes. The verbiage.

So with this post (drum roll, please!), I actually begin my blogging journey. I make no promises as to the frequency of my posts, nor do I guarantee that every post will contain nuggets of brilliance -- or sanity, for that matter. Heck, most of what I write might just bore you to death. Then again, some of it -- hopefully more than some! -- might not. I'm simply starting this little online journal of sorts to put my thoughts onto paper (er... into pixels?) and share them with the world, or at least a microcosm of it. I doubt that my blog will be even remotely coherent from post to post, but that's not really my intent. I simply want to create art out of words, turning the mundane into something beautiful. 

See, I'm a writer. At least, I'd like to be a writer. As one of my friends so poignantly states, "Writers write. If you're not writing, you're not a writer."

Well, yes. There is that, isn't there? I've written intermittently for much of my life, but my production of poetry, essays, short stories, and random jottings of thoughts has been sadly lacking as of late, and I want to remedy that. Blogging may not be the highest form of writing, but it's something, anyway. If nothing else, it sure is a great way to procrastinate! Ah, the sweet college life...

On that note, my Language Acquisition Mid-Assessment paper awaits me. Sounds fascinating, doesn't it? (Ha. Ha. Please note the dry sarcasm.) Chances are that I'll stare at the pitiful little cursor blinking away on my computer screen for about thirty seconds before decidedly not doing homework tonight, but I can pretend that I'm attempting to be productive, can't I?

In any case, I hope that you follow my bloglet as it accompanies me through this phase of my tortuous, wonderful life. Time to let the creative juices flow! I will be writing again soon - and that's as much of a promise to myself as anyone else!

Until we meet again... =)
