But all the cool kids have one...

Having a blog seemed like such a fabulous way to not get real writing done that naturally I had to get one, too. I'm sure there are legitimate reasons to have a blog, but really it's function as a time-sink (both for me and my friends--aren't I considerate?) is the most obvious and important one. Plus, I'm hoping this will make me as cool as all the other cool people with blogs. (However, I suspect I will actually have to post cool content for that to be true. Oh well.)
