This isn't my first blog, just so you know. My first attempt was a miserable failure and my second attempt never went anywhere, although I am assured by friends and loved ones that, indeed, people did read it and enjoy it. I guess I didn't really enjoy it, though, because, for me, it didn't have a focus and it felt very, "Pay attention to meeeeeee! I'm totally interesting you guys!!!"
But it's a new day, bitches! I've missed doing this over the past three months and I have stuff to say and lists to make, so here I am and here you are and can I take your coat or get you something to drink? Did you have any trouble finding the place?
What am I going to write about? Stuff! No, but seriously, I have experienced some serious priority shifts of the tectonic plate-moving, Richter scale-triggering variety over the past year, and those shifts have accompanied all sorts of other changes as well. I'm still trying to digest all of it, and you're coming along for the ride.
Before I get into all of that, here are some things you probably don't know about me even if you know me:
1) I am very, very disdainful of, and cautious around, males. Of any species.
2) I'm 28 years old, I live in Seattle, and I've never tried pot or any other illicit drugs. (Isn't that the most pathetic thing you've ever heard?) I don't really know how to go about changing this situation.
3) I consider myself an atheist, but not a pure one because I have a deep spiritual connection with the moon and with oceans. Sometimes I can convince myself that fairies exist. This all makes the academic in me cringe.
4) I'm painfully shy, but I've learned to act pretty well to cover it.
5) I get really, really anxious about pretty much any new experience I encounter. But I get a kick out of getting to and through those experiences anyway.
6) I fucking LOVE heights.
7) I talk to my dog all the time. I think she understands me.
8) Sometimes I cry about stuff that has nothing to do with me and that I have no hope of changing.
9) I believe people can single-handedly change the world for the better, and I used to think I was going to be one of those people, but now I'm not so sure.
10) I spend a great deal of time obsessing about conversations that already happened and are long over.
Enjoy the show!

I could add your #8 and 9 to my list. I used to have panic attacks about not doing enough for the world. I really thought with my good example, the world would be peaceful, vegetarian and friendly by now.
