Hello, life, hello!

Hi there. Welcome to my blog. Why do I have a blog? For the same reason I recently acquired a Twitter account. Other People. Peer pressure. Forces beyond my control!!! *Deep intake of breath*

Well, I suppose that's true about my Twitter account ("gentle" pressure from a certain enthusiastic faculty member led me to join so I could follow TeamCMU's account as a show of support for them in their team-against-one, cross-4-province, round-the-clock bicycle race, "Hot Pursuit," scheduled to take place in July), but really, I can't blame anyone but myself for unleashing my "reflections" on the world in blog form. I created my google account so I could follow and comment on friends' blogs, but it's my own narcissism and ego-centrism that fueled the creation of a blog of my very own. My OWN little blog! I will name it Hello, Life, Hello!, and I will hug it, and pet it, and I will give it security! And I will keep it warm like a mother hen, so it will never feel rejected or lack for love.

Oh life.
