is this thing on?

Wow, like, this is really awkward.  Like, we just met and I have nothing to say awkward.  How does one go about starting a blog anyway?  What exactly is the etiquette here?  Do I just start babbling?  Do I need to tell you my life story from the beginning?  Do I dare presume that anyone I don't know will even read this?  That's a little lofty. I guess  the simple act of starting a blog already announces to the world how arrogant and self-centered I probably really am, so that's probably irrlevant.  Okay, okay, that's enough.

Anyone who knows me knows that I talk too much.  WAAAAAY too much.  So it seems only natural that I have too many things whizzing through my head at any given time for Facebook or anybody else to handle.  Add to that the fact that I spend most of my time talking to people who can't tie their own shoes, much less carry on a conversation that doesn't involve Blues Clues or Indiana Jones, and hopefully you can understand how overstuffed my poor brain is.  So it is you, precious captive reader, who will bear the brunt of my mental stagnation and test out all my ideas for me until I can find some real (i.e. not virtual) friends to talk to.   

Whew, I'm drained.  Okay, not really, but one of the small people is calling me from upstairs so apparently I'v been discovered.  Over and out.
