And so it begins...

Here I am, blogging. I think I was feeling a little left out having to comment anonymously on other blogs. No more being a spectator! I'm as wary of this as I am of the new iPod that I bought this weekend and have only looked at. There is nothing particularly sinister about either the blog or the iPod, it just feels like crossing over a bridge that will inevitably blow up behind me. Kind of like once-upon-a-time when I got my first cell phone - even then it was a bit crushing to know that, try as I might, I would not ever revert to the pre-cell phone me. I suspect the same is true of iPods and blogging.

How exciting! Yet one more person gone to the dark side. It's just one step closer to watching all the "Lord of the Rings" movies back-to-back! :) I will definitely be leaving comments and am exctied that you won't be anonymous anymore!

Yay, welcome to the blogging world, I think I'm addicted, I used to HATE creative writing, but I find this a welcome release!! I hope you have fun! And I look forward to being able to hear about your adventures....since you're always too busy having them ;)

Welcome to Bloggityville. Nice of you to move in! You are a good writer. Like Cowgirl, I am also one who finds blogging a bit of a creative release (and a great place to waste a bit of time here and there.) Put a visit counter on your blog, so I can click on you every day and you can watch it count higher. (I use statcounter.com)

See ya later!

Oh hooray - an Amy blog! Yes, I do know what you mean about crossing over.

Kind of like when I first saw capris in the Sears catalog and I asked someone to shoot me if I ever wore them. Ha! Guess how many pairs I have now?!?

I'm adding you to my Bloglines account (there's another bridge to cross - it really does save time, I promise) so I don't miss any posts. Miss you!

Oh, and if you ever want to kind of customize your blog a bit and don't feel like learning how yourself, I'd love to play around with it for you...I'm just learning, but it's fun.

In my time as a blogger I have never gotten more then a few comments. Seeing that you have ten on you very first post makes me angry and happy. I'm so mixed up with emotions.
