New Friends

You're back for post number two. Welcome. I feel I should take some time to talk about me. Yes, I know, this entire blog is about me, what am I saying? Because we're still in that awkward don't-really-know-each-other-well-enough-to-feel-comfortable-to-tell-good-stories stage. You know what I mean. Like when you first start to be friends with someone and everything you tell them has to be prefaced with so much exposition. They don't know who your best friend in college was or how much you love wine or that you don't like hugs. So you have to remind New Friend of these things in order for your stories to make sense. And, just so you know, I have a chunk of folks that I would call my college best friends, I love wine a lot, and I think people overuse the hug. Hugs should be given when they are fully deserved, not because I haven't seen you since yesterday. That just deserves a "hello".

Other things I will potentially talk about in The Blog include, but are not limited to: theatre, music, improv, comedy, movies, TV shows, books, running, cooking, food and drink, people and people watching, boys, organization. Why? Because it's my blog and I write about things that interest me. If you want a blog about chemistry or wood-working, you're in the wrong spot.

But honestly, if you've read this far and still thought you'd soon get to the section on organic chemistry, you're an idiot. Nothing about anything I've written so far should lead you to believe I like science. I took one semester of chemistry as a junior in high school and learned nothing. Nothing. I don't even know who uses chemistry aside from chemistry teachers, actual chemists, and the lab folk on CSI. I'm not saying it's not important, I just don't care to learn about it. I'm getting off topic. I seem to have a lot of unresolved feelings toward chemistry. I blame Mr. Olsen.

There. Now you know a couple things about me. Some of my likes and dislikes. And that I'm not afraid to call you an idiot if you're being an idiot. And I expect the same from you. We'll encourage each other to become better humans. This blog isn't just cathardic for me, it's helpful for you. And what do you call a relationship like that? Friendship.
