this is

I have to admit - I had some rather big ideas for this blog when I started it. Whoops! Dropped the ball on that one, Jessie. In my defense, I do not have a computer from which to blog that does not result in severe eye strain, back pain, or awkward fits of embarrassment as someone nearby witnesses my "writing process" - thereby sending me into hyper-self-awareness mode where -literally- anything can happen (but -literally- none of the interesting things do) as I'm plunged into a deep state of panic by the thought of someone actually viewing my "method" - by which I mean typing a single sentence no less than four times before deleting it entirely. As you can tell - no one is watching right now because I would have quickly closed out of this window and moved on to something else for fear of facing another "episode" in which I become more embarrassed than can possibly be considered appropriate.

For the record, I do plan to buy a new computer as soon as I have some spare money. A quick scan through the database of phrases tumbling around in my skull reveals that "spare money" is not actually a usable combination of words. Shit!
