Post Alpha

As if you couldn't tell by the lack of posts before this one, this is my first entry into the world of blogspot. I'm here because everyone at work uses blogspot. I have about 4 years worth of entries over at livejournal, and about 4 entries total at myspace, but here I am ready to start a new journal.

I'm primarily going to use this to talk about the stuff I'm reading/listening to/watching, and what I'm writing: prose, poetry, and music. Also to talk about my clothing designs. Maybe I'll post a little about my life, too, but I think I'll keep that to livejournal.

Snapshot of my current input:
Reading the Riverworld books by Philip Jose Farmer.
Listening to Andrea "Nebel" Haugen, Kirsten Blodig, and other misc Scandanavian/Northern European folk music.
Just watched Labyrinth again after years away from it.

Snapshot of my current output:
Continued with chapter 5 of my NaNoWriMo novel, still haven't gotten to chapter 6.
Wrote another segment in my awful romance novel that I cringe when I think will probably be my first professional sale.
Did some serious thinking and wrote up a new premise for my "mother of god" story.
Drew up a new dress design, using geisha neckline and handkerchief-hem boxpleats. (I'll upload the sketch at some point).

And that's it for this first post. Yay and all that. When I have some time I'll sit down and do some editing to the style/layout/color scheme over here, since this one is kinda boring as is.

This officially makes the 7th person at Borders with a blog.

I think thats kind of cool.

I used to use livejournal, but it never let me customize my blog the way I wanted it. I did like the feature where you could list all your interests and it would form a searchable list that you could find other people with the same interests.

Come to think about it, I've had a Livejournal, two bloggers, xanga, diaryspace, x-diary, and a bunch of other ones.

OK. I'm just babbling now.

Livejournal only lets you customize if you pay them much moolah. Well, it's not that much, really. My brother has been buying me a paid account as a Christmas present for two years, so I do customize a little, but I'm not quite web-savvy enough to make a really kick ass page. Most of my friends from high school and college use LJ, though, so that's where I've been blogging.
