Blog-osy

Blog-osy (adj.) The word I made up for the jealousy I have for those who are capable of blogging.  And doing it well.

So.... this is a new thing for me.  I've always wanted to give blogging a try, but I feel like I don't really have anything that exciting to talk about post after post. Are people going to read this?  Who knows.  Will they be entertained?  Well, if they have the bagillion kinds of random thoughts flying around in their heads like me, then there's a good chance they might. Will I be satisfied by writing this?  I hope so. 

I've never been good at journaling. Let's be real: writing in general isn't really my thing. I can pump out an academic paper, no problem.  Creative writing...now that's another story.  My hope in starting this blog is that I can fulfill a goal I've set for myself: to post at least once per week.  It's not something I'm doing for anyone but myself... and of course bringing whoever reads it along for the ride.

On a side note: as I'm setting this blog up tonight, we're watching the movie "Whip It."  Honestly, I didn't know roller derby had a point system to it... I just thought it was a bunch of girls beating each other on roller skates.  Interesting.
