The First.

Everyone said I should get a blog. I resisted, had a bag full of excuses; no time to blog, my work isn't ready, I only work in print, I'll get a bunch of art out over the summer, you'll see, blah blah. Now, with less than a month left before the fall term starts again, I've realized I spent my summer taking classes I dislike so much I refuse to take them during the school year, avoiding my awkward roommate, being a mindless wage slave and generally not being that creative being I so ardently assured Everyone I'd be. Today I went to the post office with my boyfriend to mail out his band's 7" record (

) to various music-y places, and I noticed he seemed quite dejected. When I asked him what was wrong, he replied, I dunno, it just seems pointless. Nothing ever happens when I do this, and I feel like I won't get anywhere. To which I replied, No! This is crucial! Something will happen if you keep trying! You've got to put in work to get results! This is when I realized I should've been looking in the mirror and talking to myself. So basically, this blog will be my attempt to 'put in work', namely, get my writing (and other creative outbursts I may have) out into the world and try to make something of them, and myself.

I hope it works.
