I had deliberately held off writing my first entry the day this blog site was set up because it was a bad day and I didn’t want that tone to seep into my writing. Today, however, I log on for the first time to see that my generous blog benefactor had found it appropriate to write the first entry for me by keying a threat. I’ll keep that entry in here, because there is a small truth in his words. Very small. Tiny. Negligible. Those of you who are current with my friendship dues have nothing to worry about.

At this point, I have told no one about the existence of this site, because I don’t know in what form or direction my online presence will grow. If nothing else, the record created on here will show me whether my dark days are truly outnumbered by my happy days (a goal I’m working toward), or serve as a tool for me to seek and display the silver sunlit lining around the ominous cumulonimbus clouds.

That being said, I send a hug to my college roommie for spontaneously emailing in the midst of an email chain 2 days ago, “You should blog. I’m gonna see if Mike has space on his server,” and to Mike, my no-longer-anonymous blog sponsor. (Like you can’t tell by the site address that it’s Mike anyway.) Heh, the parenthetical was totally unnecessary since the only ones who know about this site ARE these 2 people. And here we go… *flexing fingers*
