Oops.

So I'm absolutely convinced I had something really relevant and entertaining to say, a valid point to make, an interesting story about some event or other. Something happened today (or was it yesterday?) that made me think, "Ooh, I should blog about that!"

Well, that something is now eluding me, and so the urge to post is not accompanied by any inspiration. So...I apologize. The next few paragraphs will most likely have no point.

Speaking of inspiration and all, I have found that it seems to hide from me when I actually have time to pay attention to it. Take right now, for instance. I found the time to blog, yet nothing to write about. However, great ideas (or at least, they seem pretty fantastic to me) always spring up when I do not have the opportunity to pursue them! It's like my muse is really shy. She only comes out when there is a lot of noise to cover up her presence, when there is an abundance of distractions to keep the attention off of her.

Ironically enough, I wrote a poem once about inspiration having awful timing.

So, I guess I can talk a bit about myself. I believe in my very first post, I promised to talk more about the nature of the blog and the blogger in later posts. I'm not sure I explained much, though. So, an assortment of random facts about me:

I have a penny whistle, because I asked for it for Christmas. I can only actually play one song on it. I have never broken a bone before, or flown in an airplane, but I have flown in a helicopter. I literally lost my first tooth: I think I knocked it down the drain. I watched Grease for the first time last spring. When I was a kid, Scooby Doo gave me nightmares. Now, my favorite TV shows are both murder mysteries. I once sang an impromptu solo at a concert at my church (I was probably about 8). I've never left the United States. I love road trips. I collect flower petals and attempt to preserve them - all the petals I have so far have been taken off of someone else's flowers. The first story I ever remember writing was about a giant bumblebee. I took organ lessons for a short period of time - I think I left my organ shoes at the church after my last lesson. I like to name things. My car is Winston, my first iPod was The Eddie Shuffle, and now I have Solo-Man the iPod. However, I have failed to give my dog a middle name.

Okay, I think that's enough. :) Learn anything new?
