The Dreaded First Post

I wish that I could bypass the first post and start my blog right in the middle of my blog. As with most things, there must be a beginning and hesitantly I've succumbed to mine within the blogging community. I guess it's the introductions, formalities and purpose of writing this blog that are a few things I'd rather just skip instead articulating. But here goes. The purpose of this blog is more or less a creative outlet for me. It will give me a reason to keep writing even if it for an audience of two (Janna and Joi)--a fabulous audience, I might add.  Also, I have the memory of goldfish, so this will be an excellent means of documentation. I need a way to witness the evolution, so I'll know who I was now looking back years down the road. A voyage of self-discovery of sorts and this is my pocket-sized attempt at documenting it.
Okay, I think I've worked it out. Statement of Purpose: Simple documentation of an isolated subject and how it adapts to its surroundings and changes over time. Said subject: Me.

Background Information: I am one of six home-schooled children who all grew up in the same home without cable television yet somehow managed to assimilate nicely into the modern world. On a serious note, I have a wonderful family and I love them dearly. This past Saturday, I finished up my undergrad degree in anthropology and sociology. And frankly, the best part about those majors is people's reactions to it.
There's the ever-present Practical Response: "What on earth are you going to do with that and how do you plan on making any money?" (accompanied with a slightly pinched nose and raised upper lip combo).
The Unconvinced Support: "Oh, well, good for you." (with a nervous smile).
The Honestly Perplexed: "What is that?"
The Corny Jokester: "Oh yeah, that's the study of ants, right?" ha ha ha.
The Pop Culture Point of Reference: "Oh cool. Do you watch that t.v. show Bones?"
In all actuality, I'm still not quite sure what I will do with it but I enjoy it. I'm really interested in studying minority groups, social stratification, and the concept of race. Suffice it to say, it's a small job market.  
 I'm not into planning. I'm cycling across the country this summer. I knit. I'm inconsistent and this will be evident in the blog. As a child, I had odd collections. And I'm late for work. So bye!
