Woohoo! I have my own website! And, if you are reading this, you can actually see it!

What a thrilling feeling. The world, my stage. Okay, maybe that's a bit dramatic. But, really, finally getting this piece of cyberspace up and running, and in such a way that I think it's actually sort of cute - thrilling. Especially since I taught myself how to do it, with the help of a really good tech book and a great friend who encouraged me (thank you, Bitsy, you rock).

Let me interject for a moment to say: if you are accessing this site from a Mac, or from Netscape, or from anything other than Microsoft Internet Explorer v5+, it probably looks funny. I know. It's driving me crazy. I can only do so much on my own, y'all. If you know how I can fix it, please let me know. Or quit using Mac or Netscape, they are obviously inferior and strange, even if the i-book (in pink) is cute. Thanks.

Anyhow, I intend this to be a space for compelling, informative writing, an uncensored space open wide for all lucky to enough to have internet access. In other words, my own place for my own thoughts, which (I assume) are informative and compelling. Take them or leave them. Bookmark them or block them. Whatev.

Originally, I wanted a website as a way to supplement my resume - because I've done lots of fun stuff, and it doesn't all fit on one page, like "they" tell you it "should". Then I started reading other people's personal websites. For years, actually. It's a little addictive, sort of like reality television, but usually not as inane. So, here I am. Rest assured that I am still working on some of the pages*, like adding more creative writing, figuring out how to reformat the resume page, adding photos of my family and friends and AmeriCorps, etc.

Don't be shy, let me know what you think. And come back often, I intend to write as much as possible. (Please note: intend does not mean the same thing as promise.)
