And so it begins...

So.
I guess it takes a considerable degree of literary confidence (and perhaps maturity) to start whatever it is you want to say with just one word. So.
Leaf through the pages of time, and you'll find that great men (and women) of letters are really people of few words. Even in their work. Perhaps, especially in their work. Curious beings who have mastered the art of writing volumes (and tomes) without wasting words. They put down well-weighted words, each one wise and wonderful, carrying within it a world of information and meaning that ten fellow words would find too onerous to bear.
Would have been nice if I were one of these taciturn geniuses.
But I have to admit that in this case that's not the case at all.
So.
So what it actually is is a tentative testing of the blogging waters. Will it be hot or cold? Warm or tepid?
It's my first time (even though i created this blog about two years ago) and I really do not know what to write, what to say. Tongue-tied for 24 months! Even if I did know what to say, I don't know if it's important enough, of considerable Earth-shaking significance, to make you stop by long enough to read it all, and at the end perhaps to make a mental promise to yourself to always return.
I mean, that's why blogs are written, isn't it? A sharing of yourself (your thoughts, ideas, opinions, arguments, likes and dislikes, good deeds, crimes and sins, and all whatnot) with others, and then using all the feedback, positive and otherwise, hopefully come to a better understanding of yourself, and the world around you. And then, and there's less hope here, make yourself and the world better than when you posted the blog.
At least, that's one of my reasons for being here.
The other reason is that TeknicoleurGrl, a talented writer and blogger (unusualcuppatea), believes I should be.
So.
So here goes...
