in the beginning....

i never thought it would come to this... but i'm starting a blog. well, a new blog. i think i grew past diaryland ages ago, and it's been time to move on. so, here we are.

let's just see where this ends up, shall we?

as of right now, i am: sitting on the futon, watching the snow fall (and the cat's sleep) and procrastinating my studying for my GRE on monday. the snow is my favorite kind, real fine and sparkly, so it glitters every time the light catches. there's a good bit on my balcony... enough that i think in a day or so i will be able to go out and build a snowdog/cat. if it works out, i'll take pictures.

ok, now, just so this post isn't completely short and lame, ima do a survey that i got from my friend johnny-dee.
