This is really just for me.
I feel pretentious and self-promoting. It's ridiculous, me posting to a giant crowd of people, me broadcasting my nebulous self to the Big World Out There. Also, alternately, it's not pretentious and self-promoting at all, because I'm aware that the giant peoplehood of the Internet will probably not grant me much of an audience.
Which is okay. Mostly, I want to start this to brush up on my writing skills. Most likely, I will get lost in my new job and forget about this and then this blog will be just another empty potato chip bag paddling in the Atlantic.
(Also, I can't figure out how to indent on this thing.)
Anyway, here are my purposes for starting this blog.
Purpose #1: (the most self-important one) Have an anonymous voice so can I think out loud.
(Also, I really like just connecting to other people's consciousnesses through writing to each other. It's so very exciting.)
Purpose #2: Be a part of this colossal project called the Internet, into which, previous to now, I have only dipped my little toe. (The little toe being buying boots and books online, and posting tentative comments on blogs.)
Purpose #3: Get better at writing. Or maybe just, write. This is probably what separates me, 'a person who loves writing,' from a person who actually calls himself a writer: I want to get better at it. They can't help themselves but write. Sigh. I must accept that I am just not a writer.
That's basically it.
Good-bye, Faceless People.
