Welcome!

So I have this deeply important internal struggle where I’m into blogs and blogging and I feel compelled to have my own blog, but I can’t actually do that. I had a fake sort of half blog that I wrote but never let loose on the world. In that blog I decided the things that kept me from blogging were as follows: nothing interesting happens to me, I’m not an expert in anything, and I don’t have one of those jobs that people are secretly dying to know about. So the content was stuff like me getting philosophical about having to wear headphones and talking about how awkward it is to call strangers on the phone.  Luckily, no one had to see any of that.

Anyway all of that is going to change because I know have something of substance to blog about. Get excited. Or don’t, I’m not here to tell you how to live your life, this is mostly for me anyway.

I’ve decided to make some changes in 2014. Not, like, resolutions or anything that. I just have things, mostly hobby-related, that I want to do or start doing, or learn how to do. I mean I live pretty much in the middle of no where, all of my good friends live hundreds of miles away and I have no romantic prospects to speak of. So I’ve got time and I’ve got to keep myself busy. So a couple of weeks ago I made this list (though it will probably get longer). It’s got stuff like learn a magic trick, do moss graffiti, make 5 types of hummus, run some miles, watch all the Studio Ghibli movies… A lot of it is inspired by things I’ve seen on Tumblr.  And I figure I might as well blog about my attempts, thought that’s mostly to motivate me to actually keep up with it. Either way I hope it will be entertaining for anyone reading. A lot of them involve me physically doing things and I’m pretty terrible at doing most things so I think that is something to get excited about.

I plan on starting immediately while the year is still young, but I am still working on schools stuff so I don’t have ALL the free time, just some of it. I can work solidly on one thing a week, maybe not one new thing, ongoing things maybe. I’ll do more intensive stuff, like tackling languages and learning how to photoshop after the school stuff is done (which, Christ, I hope is soon I am so ready to be DONE)

So here it is. The blog. It exists, officially, with a purpose. And it’s going to have content and all that good stuff.

Also since this has been a wordy post have a gratuitous pet pic.
