introduction

Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3...

Have given in and decided to start a blog, hopefully to be used as a diary so that when I am old and decrepit and senile, my grandchildren can't accuse me of making up stories because I would then point to this as some sort of proof. (and hopefully, will create some sort of legitimacy, so that when I do make up stories, I can just say I forgot to post it, haha. TAKE THAT.) Hopefully, proper grammer grammar rules and spelling will apply.

In any case, it is interesting to note that, to date, our (my, for any non-Echo-Boomers out there) generation may very well be one of the most un-self-conscious about public disclosure of our lives and "deepest selves" (if you will), what with blogs and myspace and ljs and facebook documenting just about anything and everything we feel to be important (including, in an interesting delve into the fascination with the mundane, that which may even be lacking in importance). Further exploration of the topic to come, unless/until I start feeling like a presumptuous ass for trying to sound precocious.

And then, to at least establish some sort of accountability, I plan to post interesting (at least to me) tidbits of information regarding my daily life, travel and slice-of-life stories, gossip, etc. etc. etc., under the labels of: mundane, interesting, fashion, to-do, ranting, waxing poetic/lyrical, art, videos, mooning, crushes, food, music, lists, pictures, events, anecdotes, travel, etc. etc. etc. And also grocery lists.

ok, have to head off to class now. PS 126 to be exact.
