Hooray! I'm starting a blog!

Hey there, and welcome to my brand new blog! I've been contemplating doing a blog for awhile now for several reasons. First, I'm quite good at making shit. On this blog, from time to time, I'll show YOU how to make shit, too! (See photo of the side of my head. I made that!)

Second, I'm an excellent cook, and from time to time I'll share recipes and how-to's on that as well!

Yum yum!

Third, I really love to write. Really, a lot. Because I work for the government, the writing I do on a day-to-day basis is dry as dust, free from beauty or elegance, and written to the fourth grade

level. Woo. hoo. So, I wanted an outlet for writing that would actually allow for some creative expression (and didn't cause me to want to claw my eyes out in agony). So really, this blog is about saving my sight. And my soul. No-seriously.

I promise to try my hardest not to make this into yet another self involved self obsessive blog written solely for the pleasure of the author. Although, to be honest, I'm also pretty terrible at self promoting, so chances are, for now, I'll be the only one reading this. And maybe my Mom. Hi Mom. Nah, she's pretty busy, she may not have time for my ramblings. Dad does, he's retired, but he's also pretty computer illiterate. So, for now, I'll just send my words out into the ether and see what transpires.

A bit more about me: I'm awesome. I'm rather fond of books and music and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. If you're not fond of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, we probably can't be friends. If you're sitting

there thinking 'That show has been off the air for years! Can't she find a new favourite show?" The answer is no. That is why God made DVDs. If you're one of those people who have never SEEN BtVS, and are thinking "what crap. Who would make a show about a vampire slayer named Buffy?" The answer is A)You should probably stop reading and leave this blog now; and B)Joss Whedon. He is Godlike. Don't worry, I won't devote TOO much time to BtVS, but its bound to come up from time to time. And yes, I do like other more recent shows, but this is the only one worth mentioning in the first post!

Ah, I digress. My apologies. On occasion I may ramble off in a tangent. Maybe about Buffy, maybe not. Sometimes I'll flip a switch from Martha-like crafts and cooking and go on a political rant, cause honestly, there are a lot of things worth ranting about. I'll try not to do that too often, because I know it can be alienating, but it will happen. Promise.

Ok, I've been procrastinating from starting my day for awhile now, and I'm sensing coffee with Baileys in my near future (one of my favourite things!). There's also a swim in the offering, and that, too, is worth leaving the couch for. Some days.
