a first time for everything

i didn't think that i would ever participate in one of these blog-type things. to me, the entire concept of putting all of your thoughts out into one place under the assumption that someone actually cared what you were thinking was a bit, how do i say this, presumptuous. i have, however, come to the conclusion that i was just being silly and that this is a wonderful way to share a little of myself with you, the reader. the truth is, i am interesting.
