whoa, it's sort of weird in here...

Wow. It's really bright in here! I feel a little self conscious about writing my normal embarassing boy stories over here at UrHo. I mean, I know my readers are the same and all. But writing in a new place feels strange. It makes me suddenly remember that I am publishing the very intimate details of my life on the INTERNET of all places for any and all to read. "Blogging." The personal blog is such an amazing concept. Basically I'm saying, "Here's my diary! Why don't you have a look?" I'm really into it. I'm into living a life that is as transparent as possible. I'm into writing as a way of processing all of my junk. And I'm into getting people's instant responses to my neuroses (neurosis?). I like the feeling of writing everyday. I like knowing that my friends all over can check in with the mundane details of my day to day life. It makes me feel closer. I like it when I run into people at parties (like last night) who I haven't seen in a long time, and they tell me they've been reading my blog- just keeping tabs. It's so nice! I had a second date with AJ last night, and he had read through my archives just to get to know me better. Now it's crazy because he knows me like, 5 times better than I know him. But it's sort of a relief. He dug through all of my garbage after the first date, and still found me worthy of a second (and today we are having a third!) Him reading my blog means I don't have a handful of cards to painstakingly lay down one by one. My cards are already on the table. I'm so glad.

I need to be doing homework right now. I need to be reading Child Development theory, and Edu. History texts, and Art Ed how-to books. I'm really scared of falling behind.

My friend Coco is designing a new banner for the top of my blog. But if anyone else has design/decorating suggestions please fill me in. (Or alternate banner designs ideas, in case Coco changes her mind!) I have exactly zero web design experience, so input from the peanuts is very welcome!
