I am now blogging

I remember in college there was a massive craze for Xanga blogs and I was convinced to get one. I think it might still be up; gosh yes it still is. Of course I couldn't have a straight blog, contrary creature that I am, so I decided to write a series of interconnected vignettes of an absurdist nature. If anyone does visit that blog and read it, I do apologize for the terrible colour scheme. Naturally, Mufti is me and Pastor Pierre is my good friend Pierre from my Masters program. I don't know and don't ever want to know who the hell Supercat is. You'll have to ask Pierre about that.

Blogging is silly. This blog might well die before I even get to Los Angeles because I find myself bored with it or not feeling like spending time writing it because I'm having too much fun. I doubt anyone apart from me will feel too deprived. I will try to stick with it though, just because it is an interesting creative writing exercise. I'm going to try to be as loose as possible in any case, dashing off a post whenever I can. I'm just afraid that the blog will devolve into something like "Hey, I'm in Des Moines! It's great! I'm at this bar! Their wifi sucks!" Okay, perhaps with less exclamation points but you get the picture. I think the next time I post on here I will try to write about the three major road trips that I've taken in the past, just to see whether what I write is even readable or is just boring.
