In order to properly start a blog, I should probably just begin at square one: A little bit about your dear author.
First, I am a giant nerd. Well, maybe not giant. I'm sure there are nerdier folks than me out there, and I don't have a specialty area. I'm a bit of a Jill of All Trades when it comes to my geeky pastimes, and the only real area I don't have MUCH of an interest in is pure high-tech science fiction. Add in some interesting characters and shine some of the light off of how the light particles interact and why the machinery functions the way it does, and I'm in, though. :)
Beyond being a nerd, I am also a student. I'm a Senior working on a BA in Psychology. I have a longstanding history of being a fan of learning, as well as being the shoulder my friends cry on, so it should not surprise anyone that my current plans involve attaining a PhD in Clinical Psychology.
So, why the blog?
Well, to be honest, I wanted somewhere to voice what was going on in my life. I don't have the dedication or gumption to create a blog based solely on an ideology, a spin, a way of life, or a hobby. However, I am stuck living the life I lead, so I might as well try to take a creative view of it.
If people enjoy the writings, so be it! If people sympathize or have suggestions, that is always welcome, too.
Basically, I have spent the majority of my young life thus far as the Real Life Healer in my party of friends and family. I am the one who carries the burdens of others, the one people come to with their issues, and the one who has far more longsuffering patience than is healthy for me. And sometimes, the healer needs a place to rest, to reflect, and to gather up and prepare for the next day's battle. The time has certainly come in my own life where I need to put down everyone else's baggage and start figuring out where the hell I am, who the hell I am, and who the hell I want to be.
Anything is game here. Work, religion, politics, video games, sex, it's all fair. And there may be language involved, though I will try to keep it to a minimum.
Alas! Welcome aboard, weary traveler. Join the party.
