first things first- i like writing in all lower case.

after much prompting by a dear friend (and after watching Julie and Julia), i have decided to enter into this world that is blogging. does the first post have to be mind-boggling and in-your-face captivating? i feel like if there was a book on the etiquette of blogging, the first chapter regarding your first post would say something like this: "and make sure to use proper english and utilize the spellcheck button. your first post is your first impression to the world of your potential blogger followers, so grammar is essential. also, try and captivate your audience with radical ideas. try pushing the envelope a little further with sexual jargon, or controversial statements regarding human rights, health care issues, or.....sarah palin comments." i don't know. i'm fairly certain that my 'nest' of a blog, if you will (do people usually write out 'if you will'...hmm?), shall be liberated from all rules- including my own. well, thanks for allowing me to have a safe nest where i can land. i'm pretty pumped to enter into this journey. my name is kaylan- lower case writing, pablo neruda, and tiramisu are some likings.
