Introduction!

Hello hypothetical reader! :D I'm glad you theoretically stumbled upon this page!

I needed an outlet for all the strange things flowing through my mind and I wanted complete control, so here I am blogging. I feel very new age and also quite ignorant for saying so. I think I broke a rule from 'Elements of Style' when I italicized that phrase. See you're not supposed to draw attention to colloquialisms and cliches (look at me i'm saying something you've heard a million times before!), but I think I could justify my actions here; I wanted to make sure you, hypothetical reader - making no assumptions about your prior knowledge (please take no offense, i'm being very careful not to miss anyone here) - regarding the concept of new agedness (I don't really know a damn thing either, but in general i'd associate it with superficiality) and i wanted to make sure you knew the two words were one idea. Otherwise it might not make sense! And that would be just awful.

As you can see I try very hard to maintain the integrity of my writing (speaking too). Linguistics is one of my primary interests and I do my best to align myself with its highest standards. Like the elderly woman who checks her mail three times a day, just to reassure herself that her children really have permanently broken contact with her in her old age. I'm mostly concerned with conciseness and clarity, but also with stylistics (Eg. Using colorful verbs and nouns, eliminating unnecessary adjectives).

Of course I have some more mainstream/relevant interests; I play and listen to music, I write creatively, I read Stephen King novels. I have thoughts on religion, ethics, and current events I mean to share. I live in a home with two parents, two cats my brother is out of state. I attend a small high school and maintain a mediocre 2.5 GPA. I'm worried about the future, I'm a bit lonely, I'm full of what some might label 'teenage angst' (damnit i did it again >_>).

But I'm trying, failing and learning in the process.
