Guess what just happened?

I posted on my blog again!
(Are you kidding me?)
Nope.

I recently started missing my blog. Weird.
Today felt like a good day to start it up again.
I'm not going to worry about all the bajillion things that have happened in the last 7 months and I'm just gonna start up right here, right now on Dec. 2, 2009.

And this is how it starts. With this very post.
