I am intimidated by the other bloggers. Make no mistake about it, I am a self-doubting individual, who dispises those who hold themselves in low esteem, but still I have no idea why people are going to read this on a regular basis. I have found professional bloggers, mostly from New York (like Interpol is from New York– that kind of New York) who clearly know what they’re doing, and it appears there is a lot of money involved somewhere– I have found a local blogger who is Extremely Awkward, and I am terribly interested in hearing what she writes, but am afraid my words don’t have the same ring to them– And I know of bloggers who do it for another cause– people with an agenda. (he’s trying to sell his software). I have nothing quite that organized. Although everything I do is intentional. nonetheless, I am feeling weak in a territory I should be strong, because I am a professional at computering and internets. Lets hope something comes of this.

I did go and lease that apartment on Harvey today. I’m excited; it will be my first real place. It is bitterly cold in my room in Hendrick House as I write this. I keep asking them to turn the heat up and they just don’t get it. I did not visit the UI Tennant Union, but i’m pretty sure the lease is standard. OOh and covered parking! very exciting about that. Anybody need a sublease over the summer of 2007?

<aside> So, for example, in this post I used links as examples of larger groups– the Professional Bloggers and Bloggers with an agenda– they’re both big groups, right– but that may or may not have been clear from the post. I’m such an amateur. </aside>

Today I intend to blog. It is the middle of finals week, I have no time to do anything, am operating in REVERSE CAPS mode, and my new website has not yet been announced yet(and won’t be for a bit). What a perfect time to start.

This is what my keyboard looks like when I am typing lower case letters.

I have my reasons though– I am stressed and I’d like to share the interesting situations I encounter with people who might care. I have found other blogs I’m starting to read– more on that later (after i get some hot RSS reading action setup) and think I would just like to put some valuable things out there, so when people google, maybe they’ll find a useful comment from my website.

Today I backed up and updated a laptop at work– and for a second thought I completely erased it. I’m glad I didn’t. This is good news as I go on winter break from there. rsync makes me kinda anxious sometimes. I am feeling very anxious over all of this stress–

Tomorrow I am going to break the Hendrick House (another link) cycle. It was great for a while, but I really need to move out of this place. I am looking forward to the opportunity to cook a bit. I am likely going to sign a lease on this apartment in Urbana that is located in close proximity to the Siebel Center. If I am to follow protocol, I am supposed to visit the UofI renters Union or something to get advice and info about doing this– I’m new to the renting stuff. We’ll see when i wake up. Lets hope i don’t forget anything key.

Well, I got through the first serious post without too much incident. I was hoping for more enlightening content– but that will come with time.

Comments, not just post related– but generally about the site layout and stuff like that– are encouraged by you beta testers reading this while it is still homed at the Secret Location. Thanks.
