Introduction

I do not expect that anyone will find it necessary to read my rants, observations, or whims with any sort of regularity. However I encourage it because I do have a few unique things to say and it might amuse you occasionally. Regardless of whether you read this or not, I have decided to write.

I used to write often, even called myself a writer. My first short story was published in a book of short stories for the Lake Washington School District so take that! I and about 100 other children so that makes me special and elevated right?

OK then later I got to writing on a regular basis. The teen angst juices were really flowing. I was so disturbed by my own sexuality as an unsure, awkward young woman, but I found that I could write poetry about it and broadcast it at "readings" in front of the school cafeteria. Imagine that for a moment. I was not alone. There was a movement in my school, in my high school time. We were all carrying around The Bell Jar, and Anne Sexton's Complete Works, Dorothy Parker, and Anais Nin in our backpacks and messenger bags.

When I finally developed a rudimentary style and voice of my own, I quit writing. Self consciousness is not incredibly helpful in life or writing. It makes for great comedy though.

So an introduction to me:
I do have habit or using profanity. Recently I've decided to make an effort to cease using profanity. It's not in my true nature. It is fun though and decidedly to the point. I love animals and the underdogs. My world view greatly influenced by this fact. I am not religious and get a little twitch when people find the need to use phrases like "Heavenly Father" or "The Scripture". But I have my own, deeply personal spirituality that is for me. I have no need to make you understand it, or relate to it. I'm cool with my own thing. I'm a bit opinionated. But that makes for good blogging right?

This blog has no agenda, no underlying reason for existing. It's just the randomness that comes from my head to your computer. I'm going to allow my writing to go wherever and see what's up when I get there.

OK well that's enough for now. Later.
