As my first blog entry, I feel like it's imperative that I use this space to say something about myself. Something unique, and thought-provoking, and something that the world will read and fall in love with.
But here's the thing: I fucking suck at talking about myself.
And as much as I'd like to share my quirks and inspirations with this site in the most forward way possible, that's just not who I am. I'm not secretive by any means (though I do tend to keep to myself when given the chance), but sometimes I just don't feel self-aware enough to accurately spoon-feed my identity to a reader.
So instead, let's talk about what I do know.
I know that I'm excited to be here. After years of lurking, ogling, and indulging in whatever snippets of SG I could get my hands on, I've finally taken the first step in making myself an active part of the community. I'm still exploring and familiarizing myself with the layout, but there's an energy that this adventure is radiating that feels so absolutely right in developing my current understanding of who I am, and how I fit (or don't fit) into an undefined alternative play-space.
I know that I'm anxious to make connections. To find like-minded individuals who fully understand my dreams, frustrations, and cynicism. But I also fucking suck at making friends, so we'll tackle that hurdle when it comes time to.
I know that I'm treating this blog entry like an essay-writing contest, and have already proof-read the above section at least ten times. And, despite doing so, I still sit here nervously, wondering if it'll pass the judgment of my peers.
Most importantly, I know that I need this. I know that I need my own voice, and need an outlet that separates me from an all-consuming occupation and a wonderfully-stable (albeit mechanical) home life.
If it's not too much to ask, I'm hoping that the SG collective will support and aid me in achieving this. I strive to make the most of my time here, and, shit, I've got at least a year to do that.
So with that being said, let's get to it, y'all.
