This is my (third?) attempt at keeping a blog. The previous two were met with semi-self-delusional, semi-convoluted and frustrated rants which I did not think anybody would be interested in reading. Is this any different? Probably not. However, I do find myself feeling an inkling of the 'me-toos' when I read other peoples posts and comments. So why not enter the conversation by starting one with myself? Hmmm... is this what blogging is really about? Hoping to be heard in a sea of voices? I am probably not the first to point this out and likely will not be the last.
Oh yeah, so what inspired me to actually post this early EARLY morning (or very late night - whatever you prefer)? Well, my exceptionally over-achieving sister is getting so much attention for her up-to-datedness (yes, it's a word I just made up) that I am feeling once again, in the shadows. Not that it makes any difference, I do prefer to lurk in the shadows. HOWEVER. However, that's not the point. The point is that I probably have interesting things to say once I can figure out where my mind is at, and since... it is not at this thesis (which it is supposed to be), I might as well vent or ruminate over what is going on with my thoughts so they don't escape me (which they inevitably do).
Ok... you're lucky I deleted what I was about to say. I was going to get way too ahead of myself and my readers in discussing the materialization of thoughts in language via writing. But, better we don't go there cause we'll lose each other, I'm sure.
Anyhow... the other difficult thing I found whenever I attempted to write blogs, was finding my writing voice. You know what? I think this deserves its own post.

Ahem.
Up-to-dateness is an important key for social networking. So pfft. And have fun with the blog...don't take it too seriously and perhaps you'll relax enough to *start* writing your thesis.
