Welcome

I feel a little silly starting a blog, and when I’m feeling like what I’m doing is silly, I explain my reasonings. So, here they are:

· I have high hopes that my friends will follow my example and start blogging as well. We have all just moved apart, and while facebook also provides a means to communicate, there is no easy way to see what’s really going on in their lives other than status updates which aren’t that descriptive.
· I have opinions to voice and while I fully accept that few people will actually read this, it is therapeutic to put opinions to paper
· An exercise in writing
· Because I’m bored
· Gives me a means to procrastinate. Now, I can write meaningless blogs when I have more important things to do rather than mindlessly surfing the internet.
· I actually wanted to start a blog a few years ago, but it felt really surperfluous when I was in high school, but now that I’m in college, the aforementioned reasons apply.

The incorporate conclusion: Pish.

Oh, and if you were wondering about the title, its a reference to "Much Ado About Nothing." Benedick says "She speaks poniards, and every word stabs"(Act 2, Scene 1).

  5. I'm sorry Ashley, I couldn't easily find a page number and I figured that if anyone wanted it that bad, they could google it and find the answer.

    I'm glad you guys are having fun with my blog. I'll try to post often cuz a dead blog is no fun!
