I used to have a 'deadjournal.' Well, I guess I technically still have one, but it hasn't been updated in over a month. This was my first attempt at 'blogging.' It was an amalgam of crappy undergraduate poetry seminar creations, recaps of the newsworthy events of dormlife, moving on to political rants and the occasional movie/concert review. After about a year I lost almost all readership. Subsequently, the blog took on a more personal bent where I would discuss my personal life in a half assed manner.
So why is all this important, anyway? Ok, getting to that. My 'deadjournal' had the same aesthetic as my 10th grade web page project on Eudora Welty, except that had more pictures. I wanted a cooler looking blog because I'm shallow. I also wanted a new blog so I could get a fresh start, make a concerted effort to organize this into something less craptacular than its previous incarnation, try to win some credibility in the blogosphere.
So what does this mean for the content? I have no idea. I am rather opinionated, see a lot of movies, enjoy music, keep slightly more abreast of the current political climate than the average jane, so I could use this to hinge my shingle in the political or entertainment arena.
I'm also in grad school, studying social work and doing fieldwork as an intern therapist with specialized foster kids. This is all rich for writing. But for those who know me realize that my ADD inhibits my organization skills, which means that more than likely this blog will be a medley of all things I find interesting, exactly what I was trying to previously escape.
We'll see how this one works out
