The first thousand posts are the hardest...
All in all I s'pect I'll be having the most trouble with this one - no, that's not quite right. I guess the second one will be harder still when I don't have a handy intro to write as my post. A cop-out? I guess it could be seen that way. What would be incredibly handy would be if some kind and noble soul should just happen upon my blog and tell me what to write - but that sort of thing only happens in fairy tales. And fan fiction.
"Now... where to begin? Ah, yes."
I don't really know what sort of writings are going to go here - random musings I s'pect, though if I get any requests I'll likely be delighted to answer them. And not just as a sign that someone's actually reading this too (which could be good or bad - but I have comments for those). I'd like to get this up to a post a day or therabouts, but I think that's a little ambitious for me just now - not to mention that even the most devoted reader of all time would be bound to get bored of me sooner or later. Cue shameless plagiarism (from Jade in this case) as I frantically search for ideas to be my foundation:
1. I am me. I've had enough people trying to change me over the years, and if they've not succeeded you'd just wear yourself out trying - deal with me the way I am, love me and leave me, whatever.
2. Apart from the it's/its controversy, I know I write fairly well. I'm not being pretentious, it's just the way I write - any random driftings of grammar are probably entirely intentional.
3. Yes, I do tend to speak my mind. That's what these are for, no? Besides, I'd sound a right idiot trying to speak someone else's ;)
4. Any resemblance shared by any of the characters of whom I write with any offline figure, living or dead, is entirely unintentional. Unless I'm actually writing about you, I guess - though then you'll probably know me in person. Feel free to beard me offline if I've been particularly mean, 'kay? ^_^
5. Yes, I do like to chat. Don't take me not being on my MSN personally - unless you've been annoying me for weeks (impressive in itself) I'm not blocking you. I'm just out (Outside, out cold, something like that).
Well, how's that? I'll try to be more personal and rambly in the future, though if sympathetic peeps could throw me the odd meme, it'd be much appreciated.
Later!

Love the introduction of the friends with pictures. Great set-up for a serial story. Love the voice of this blog!
Thanks, Michelle :) Means a lot to me. TBH I probably wouldn't have brought the pictures in yet if I hadn't been struggling to get one into my profile, but I like the way it's turned out.
Hi, Anomaly,
Saw your link on Michellespells, and thought I'd also give three cheers to your blog-launch. Incisive and fun! Cheers, Erik
