dendritejungleSo I haven't written in this blog in ages. Why not, you may well ask? (And many of you have.)
Well, mostly because I feel I have to be ON. My blog has to be POLISHED and WITTY and WORTH READING and folks, I have enough trouble making myself write simple thank-you letters without adding Standards-with-a-capital-S to my writing. I am surrounded by folks like twistedhip and nottheterritory and sex geek and audreyovisual who write well, dammit, AND manage to do so on at least a semi-regular basis. It's a little intimidating.
On the other hand, people keep pestering me to write. (Yeah, you know who you are!) And I have to admit it is flattering that people care enough about me writing to want me to get on with it already.
So I'll make an agreement with you, my faithful readers. I'll try to write more regularly, as long as you promise to forgive me if (if? who am I kidding: when!) I'm not as brilliantly erudite as y'all.

Unless, of course, you are planning on writing nothing but angst-ridden adolescent poetry involving dead unicorns and faded rainbows.
In that case, I would sincerely beg you to reconsider.
