Since this blag is brand new, I feel like it requires some explanation. For example, you may be wondering why I chose to call it a "blag." There are two reasons for this. First of all, I like to piss off grammar nazis. It's highly entertaining and they make it SO easy. Secondly, I wanted to pay homage to XKCD.com, which is one of the finest websites ever. I don't always get his jokes, but Randall Munroe has a refreshingly unusual take on almost every facet of life. Check it out.
Speaking of unusual: one of my close friends is leaving for Switzerland tomorrow! You may have heard of him; his name is Nathan Pratt, and in addition to being an artist of the highest caliber, he is a total goofball, in the sense that he occasionally does cartwheels and/or makes funny noises for absolutely no reason, jumps for joy at shiny objects on the ground, etc. He's going to study abroad for a month and we'll all miss him a lot.
Anyway, back to my explanation. The reason I'm starting this blag is that I want to keep a journal, but paper journals never work out for me. Something always goes wrong; I lose them, I scribble things out and it looks ugly and illegible, etc. Also, it's kind of cool having my own web page, even if nobody ever visits it, which I fully expect will be the case.
I guess we'll find out.
