The First Blog Post

The ever-important first blog post. It's gotta be good. It sets the tone. Or does it? I could feign ignorance: "I figured it was about time I started one of those bloggy-things. Hope I can figure it out!" (Which, admittedly, is essentially how my brief foray into Twitter began.) I could try to be witty and begin my blog with a tongue-in-cheek haiku about, say, UGG boots or country music or typography. I could capitalize on the fact that today's February 14th, and Valentine's Day is, like, sooo overrated.

Instead, I'll just try my best to be honest. Fact is, I have some stuff I'd like to say, and I think maybe some people would like to hear my thoughts. Or laugh at my thoughts. Or see if I'm going to mention them and the one time you-know-what happened. They say the key to building a loyal blog audience is to really focus your content around a niche topic. You know, like One Million Ways to Eat a Banana or True Stories of Ghosts That Haunt Middle Schools or Decorating in Shades of Eggplant. My apologies if any of those ideas have been taken.

My blog, at least for now, is going to be slightly less focused. Expect to read about my upcoming move to Boston, my passion for cooking, and my poor sense of direction. I might even throw in some wedding details here and there. Sounds thrilling, right? Right?! Anyway, thanks for giving me a shot, and we'll just see how it goes. Cheers!
