Hi there!
Well. This is a new thing for me. I've pondered creating an online journal for quite a while, and figured some experimentation was in order. Now, the thing I was afraid of happening IS happening -- I'm sitting here watching the cursor go blink...blink...blink... and I can't think of anything sparkling or witty or the slightest bit interesting to say. So. I'll tell you a bit about me, then.
I'm 27. I grew up all over the Midwest -- my Dad got bored a lot, apparently, so we moved a lot. Being the new kid in school sucks, and it sucks even more when you're the new kid every %$#@&* year. We finally settled in Vermont, so that's where I went to high school. I went to school in Boston
I work at MIT
I got married a couple of months ago. I'm much happier about that than I seem, here.
A small start is better than no start at all. I read a whole lot of online journals. Patrick is a friend of mine, and a damn fine writer. The journals I read are so good that I wanted to make one of my own, but that's also a very intimidating reason -- I can't hope to be as funny as Pamie or as whip-smart as Beth but hey, it's worth a try.
