Yes, blog. About five years after the tidal wave of them hit, admittedly. It's kind of a funny word, but I'll go with it, at least for now.
Why, you ask? Hmmm I like writing? Philosophizing and stuff. I'm going to college and I figure it'll be a decent way to record some of that, and my thoughts on it. To keep in touch, I guess? Not that I really expect anyone to read it....I'd much rather it be a quietly-existing-journal type of thing. Not going to post every day, or with any regularity for that matter, though it'll probably be exciting for the first few months or so. I find it fascinating that a blog is by nature a temporary thing, and almost all of them die at some point (oftentimes when they start), so I'm going to call it a thought repository. A journal that can be typed to avoid horrible handwriting and an impeccable ability to lose things.
The title? Shakespeare. Much Ado About Nothing, I think. Yeah, it's kind of reminiscent of what goes on in my head most days. And hopefully what will happen in college, at least in those classes and papers and whatnot. Maybe even on this journal-ly blog-thing, if a) someone decides to comment on it or b) my writing becomes schizophrenic (b is more likely). But more than anything, I just think the phrase "skirmish of wits" sounds cool.
The end. (Or perhaps, the beginning)
