… Me, of course! Isn’t that why most people start a blog? We all want our voices heard, whether it’s an opinion about the economy or the latest viral video. So this is my space, my voice. My blog.
Since this entry is about me:
I’m a 40-something in Chicago, single, no kids, no ex. I work as a freelance copy editor, a job that I love. I’m originally from downstate Illinois, where my parents and a brother and sister-in-law still live. My niece is doing her medical residency at Harvard (yes, THE Harvard). I’m convinced all the highest-level genetic material in our family somehow found its way into her. She’s married to a wonderful guy, and they’ve been together since high school. I also have two small, spoiled, furry nephews (miniature dachshunds). I’ve come to love the little guys, although I’m definitely a cat person.
I have developed recent addictions to comic books and Facebook. Reading and word puzzles are two of my favorite ways to relax. (Hmm… Books seem to be a common theme here.) I love TV – yes, I freely admit it – but I consider myself a fairly discerning viewer. Although I don’t go to movies, I do have a lengthy Netflix queue. Food and chocolate are longstanding addictions. But if lovin’ chocolate is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.
So as you might guess, topics here will generally be pop-culture related, plus some general ruminating, rants, and ramblings. You won’t find any intense political discussions (I hate politics) or philosophical essays (I’m not that deep). No ethical debates -- other than perhaps whether or not a character on Lost should have died. I appreciate feedback, but please be kind. Right now I plan to post at least once a week, probably on weekends.
So here I go on my first journey through the blogosphere! I hope you’ll join me.
