In Which A Hero Arises

Right, so...here I am. Part of Blogger Nation at last. Hello, random strangers looking for a window into my life.

Honestly, I think that's what I've never quite grasped about the whole thing: the fascination with, in essence, looking into other people's heads and giving them a peek into mine. I'm an introvert, sure, so maybe that's the root of it. I look at the blogoshpere (oh, English, you poor tortured thing) and see the digital equivalent of a room full of people all talking at once. So I go into my default mode for dealing with these situations: I stand somewhere out of the way without trying to look like I'm getting out of the way, and every now and then when there's a lull in the noise I pipe up about the subject at hand. It's not much fun at parties, but it greatly reduces the chance of me making an absolute tool of myself.

So why am I here? Well, I guess I want my piece of the soapbox after all. I've got things to say, no matter if anybody listens or not, and by gum I'm going to get 'em said. So stick around.
