Good Morning, Starshine

So this is my new “writing space,” as I learned to call it in a class a while ago. I felt weird hijacking the group blog my partners and I established for the class, so I decided to start another one. I’m pleased with it so far; it still has that new blog smell. Delicious.

First things first: I imported everything that I wrote from the old blog (Three Non Blondes and One Blonde) because I am that narcissistic, and it made this place feel a little less empty. All the dates have been left intact, so they go back to Fall 2007 even though this blog was started Summer 2008. Not a big deal, just thought I would explain.

Second things in due course: The design theme of this blog is technically “Tarski” by Ben Eastaugh and Chris Sternal-Johnson, but I stole the header from a different WordPress theme called “Benevolence” by Theron Parlin. I wanted to use his theme originally, but it didn’t have the space for an “About this blog” tagline, which I got really fixated on, so I yoinked the grassy top bit and uploaded it into the customizable “Tarski” header. It’s very possible that this breaches some sort of Webiquette, so if it does, I’m sorry, but it’s easier to ask forgiveness than permission, which is the only useful life tool the Jesuits ever gave me. And I gave you credit, so shush.

Third things last: because good things come in threes. And also bad things. And I do my best, because I was raised on the five-paragraph essay, which by definition required that one make three points in order to have the requisite five, so I got really good at coming up with some lame fact or point of view that was only tenuously connected to whatever crap argument I was trying to make, and sneaking it into the middle before ending with a whizbang last point and conclusion. (<— That was three sentences, actually, even though one was really long. Still counts. Goodnight!)
