Typical Western Blog.

I've moved house (read: blog). For years I've been threatening to do it, so I decided there was no better time than now to grow a pair and make the switch. New school, new city, new life; it's an opportunity for a sort of renaissance, if I may say---to reinvent myself (hopefully for the better, and not in a skanky Britney Spears nosedive sort of way), and find a new identity. Or even, maybe, to remind myself that I actually have an identity and that I haven't lost it in a pile of text books and essays... you know, I guess it could go either way.

As an English student, I maintain that starting a blog is practical. It keeps my writing sharp and gives me a pressure-free environment to play around with style and structure. As an almost-twentysomething single girl, however, a blog is a great venue to rant about pop culture, shoes, and what fabulously interesting stuff is going on in my life, even if I secretly realize the painful narcissism of it all.

So count that as my ice-breaker. Let the one-man (read: woman) party begin!
