welcome!
i guess the first entry is supposed to be some sort of justification for putting your life on the internet for everyone to read about. so, why am i starting a blog?
1. i don’t write enough anymore. this is what happens when you graduate from college and stop being interesting (haha). i keep telling myself i’m going to write down some of the (mis)adventures of my life in d.c. for possible future use, and this seems an appropriate forum to do so.
2. i am giving up facebook for lent. that’s right, you heard it here first folks. i am not going on the social networking devil for the next forty days. god help my soul. there are several reasons for this, primary among them being that i have come to a recent conclusion that facebook is really a device to help you compare yourself to other people. and unless you are careful, it is easy to feel like your life is coming up short. so instead of making strategic changes to my quotes and adding pictures to let you know how fabulous my life is, i’m going to write about it instead. and to stop feeling like my life is inferior (so dumb).
3. i need to learn how to blog for work. we are starting one around here soon (i think) so i need to get used to the intricacies of tagging, rss, del.icio.us, etc. all of which i know little to nothing about. by figuring it out on here i will subsequently make myself look like a genius at work. duh. i also really like posting articles from the many newspapers i read on a daily basis and subjecting all of you to my opinions about them. aren’t you lucky?
4. here’s to hoping this eventually becomes a forum for guest bloggers. i’m extending an invitation to other katie girls out there to write an entry and send it to me (ellen.draeger@gmail.com). you know who you are.
so, that is all i have for now. happy super tuesday, etc. more soon.
xoxo.
