A Rambling Introduction

Well, here I am doing something I never dreamed I would. Blogging. Posting my thoughts on the Internet for anyone -- or more accurately no one -- to read and judge. What made me turn to what I once denounced as pointless? Was it spontaneous, born out of boredom? Perhaps. I have a number of reasons, none very good.

Of course, it started out because it was something everyone was doing. It's been something everyone was doing before, but for some reason I paid it more attention this time. Why? It could have been Kelsey. "You should start a blog." Upon further questioning, she told me it would help her to get to know me better. I am certain Kelsey knows me as well already as she would if I wrote daily public diary entries. I am also certain that Kelsey would not benefit from knowing more about me. You see, I'm a very boring person. Yet my interest was roused.

The thing about blogs is that, although it's basically a way of talking to everyone, you're allowed to take back, revise what you say. Which is excellent for me, of course. The words never seem to come out right when I'm speaking. Here, I can talk for long, utterly useless paragraphs and not need to worry. You can hear me now, my friends! Whether you will choose to is an entirely different story.

The third reason, and by far the best, is the button that says "Publish Post" directly below my cursor. I just press that button, and I'm published! Talk about instant gratification.

I'm afraid this blog, if it lasts past a week, will not be a very interesting one. You see, nothing actually happens to me. My life is good, but extremely boring to relate and read about. Besides which, I somehow never seem to have time in this boring life to do things such as post blogs. We shall see, I suppose -- you, whoever you may be, nearly as much as I.
